While April 5th 1976 crackdown was related to mourning late premier Zhou Enlai, Tian'an'men Massacre on June 4th 1989 [massacre of the Peking city to be exact] would be related to mourning late CCP general secretary Hu Yaobang. The significant difference of June 4th 1989 Massacre from that on April 5th 1976 would be the fact that reporters from news media all over the world, who had converged upon Peking for Gorbachev visitation and the World Bank meeting, had witnessed the communist killing machines, i.e., tanks, machine guns, bayonets and dumdum bullets. By daybreak of June 4th 1989, following advice from some wise ass at CCP Central, people's liberation army, which had prohibited medical staff from rescuing wounded people or retrieving dead corpses overnight, had cleaned up streets and Tian'an'men Square for sake of preventing satellites from taking snapshots.
Note communist slaughter on Tian'an'men Square was not its first act of terror in history, and it won't be the last. China and Chinese lived in terrors since Peng Pai and Mao Tse-tung launched rascal-proletariat peasant movements in 1927. Peng Pai had at one time claimed that communist law would be simply the execution of landlords once they were caught. Mao Tse-tung, directly responsible for the rascal movement in Hunan Province in 1927, would be the red-handed culprits in the Purge of Anti-Bolshevik League during 1930-1931, the Purge of Trotskyists during 1937-1941, and the Rectification Movement during 1942-1945. After obtaining power in 1949, the Chinese Communists (CCP) launched the "Suppression of Reactionaries Movement" in addition to the "Land Reform" that would see 2 million landlords and relatively wealthy peasants executed. (CCP Bloody Land Reform, however, already started in 1947. See Fanshen: A Documentary of Revolution in a Chinese Village that was first recorded by William Hinton [Han Ding] whose daughter, Carma Hinton, made the documentary The Gate Of Heavenly Peace with Richard Gordon.) "Elimination of Counterrevolutionaries" was further launched in 1955 with the advent of 'Hu Feng Reactionary Clique'. In between, CCP never stopped its terror campaign as exhibited by the execution death of 1911 Xin Hai Revolution veteran Xia Zhishi together with elder brother, junior brother [4th son in order] and a nephew in the spring of 1951 in Hetongxian county of Sichuan Province. The communists launched separate movements of "Three Anti & Five Anti" in 1951 and 1952, respectively. With the changes in the international arena, i.e., Stalinism being negated in USSR in 1956 and the horrors of the Purge being exposed by Nikita Khrushchov, Mao launched the 'Rectification Movement' on April 27th, 1957. Then, Mao said he had successfully induced the snakes out of their hybernation and officially launched 'Anti-Rightist Movement' in June 1957. Lushan Meeting of July 2-Aug 16 1959 declared the 'Peng Dehuai Anti-Party Clique'. After 1959's Lushan Meeting, Mao went on the Anti-Rightist Trend to rout another 3,800,000 people. Mao Tse-tung's terror reached its climax during the Cultural Revolution. Only the death of Mao in 1976 would see China enjoy a short respite from the political persecutions conducted by the Cult, i.e., CCP. The evil nature of communism and its Chinese practitioners never changed, ending in the horrendous massacre in the city of Peking on June 4th, 1989.
