’Wish you were here: Myriad vanishings by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/8895815): my entry in Spoonflower's 'Retro Postcards' Design Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2019 The Contest Brief talked of "vacation memories with a vintage flair... time to experiment... or celebrate your most exciting travels [whether] by boat, train, airplane or even car..." and could have added tank. So, I chose to commemorate Tiananmen Square on the 4 June 1989, using Ren Yi's “boneless wash” (and Ren Xiong's 'Myriad'), for Tiananmen Man. First the tanks came for him and then he went to the tanks, side stepping to stay in front when they tried to go around, and climbing on to remonstrate with the soldiers. Exciting times! We know where he'd been (shopping - the poignancy of those shopping bags!) but where did he go? Never seen again! Bob Hawke, Australian Prime Minster of the time, made a unilateral decision in 1989 to give the 27,000 Chinese students in Australia residency rights, and around 42,000 permanent visas for Chinese students were later granted.
