- Influential Chinese writers supported the protests and urged the government to recognize its democratic and patriotic nature.
- Real-World Example: Imagine if a popular celebrity tries to mediate between a group of protesters and the authorities. Their influence might make a difference, but the core issues need to be addressed for true resolution.
