Ini jawaban Chai Ling ketika diwawancara. Video rekaman wawancara ini juga ada di dalam dokumenter The Gate of Heavenly Peace.
"The students kept asking, 'What should we do next? What can we accomplish?' I feel so sad, because how can I tell them that what we are actually hoping for is bloodshed, for the moment when the government has no choice but to brazenly butcher us. Only when the Square is awash with blood will the people of China open their eyes. Only then will they really be united. But how can I explain this to my fellow students? And what is truly sad is that some students, and famous well-connected people, are working hard to help the government, to prevent it from taking such measures. For the sake of their selfish interests and their private dealings they are trying to cause our movement to collapse and get us out of the Square before the government becomes so desperate that it takes action." Ditambah lagi kasus kontroversial di mana dia nangis-nangis menyatakan banyak korban telah jatuh pada malam harinya (wawancara dengan cnn), beberapa jam sebelum tentara dan tank mulai masuk ke jalan chang'an. Pernyataan ini: "I feel so sad, because how can I tell them that what we are actually hoping for is bloodshed, for the moment when the government has no choice but to brazenly butcher us. Only when the Square is awash with blood will the people of China open their eyes." menyebabkan dewi demokrasi ini dipandang dengan sinis dan penuh kecurigaan oleh pemimpin unjuk rasa lainnya. Double agent ? Hanya waktu yang bisa mengungkapkan, atau barangkali tidak akan pernah terungkap sama sekali.
