→1987 Anti-Bourgeois Liberalization Movement
Undaunted by the anti-Aptil 5 movement campaign, some young men continued to make harsh criticisms of the policy of no political reform made by Deng Xiaoping, who had just returned to power. They put forward a series of supposedly radical ideas by posting wall papers in Xidan, a busy street to the west of Tiananmen Square. Many of these young men, who had over-optimistically estimated the political atmosphere, were put in jail one after another. Wei Jingsheng, one of the most famous dissidents in China, spent 15 years in jail until he was released in 1993.

Encouraged by successful economic reforms, some intellectuals again demanded political reform by advocating Western freedom and democratic politics, both in the press and in universities. [[Hu Yaobang]], a reform pioneer and the General Secretary of the CCP at that time, was thought by Deng to be responsible for the failure to put down this movement, and was ousted. The famous writer Liu Binyan, Wang Ruowang, and physicist Fang Lizhi, as well as other intellectuals, were kicked out of the CCP in a nationwide purge.
