Join three powerful voices in the battle for freedom—Wang Dan, a leader of the Tiananmen Square protests; Li Schoolland, a passionate advocate for liberty; and Simon Lee, a fearless champion of human rights—as they engage in an unfiltered, thought-provoking discussion on the fight for democracy, the struggle against authoritarianism, and the lessons learned from history. In this high-impact session, these trailblazers will reflect on the Tiananmen Square massacre, share their personal stories of resistance, and offer deep insights into the ongoing battle for freedom in China and beyond. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation that’s not just about history—it’s about how the courage to stand for liberty continues to shape the world we live in today. This is a must-attend session for anyone seeking to understand the true cost of freedom and the unrelenting fight against oppression.
