This design was my entry in Spoonflower's ‘Retro Postcards’ Design Challenge in 2019. Hand-painted, 'boneless' wash (after Ren Yi) & line art. © Su Schaefer 2019
The Contest Brief talked of "vacation memories with a vintage flair... experiment... or celebrate your most exciting travels by boat, train, airplane or even car..." & could have added, “or tank”. So, I chose to commemorate Tiananmen Square on the 4th of June 1989, using Ren Yi's “boneless wash” (& 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 in 1989, made a unilateral decision to give the 27,000 Chinese students then in Australia residency rights, & around 42,000 permanent visas for Chinese students were later granted.
