and this was the first time in the movement that high-school students had organized themselves to join a march. A photo recorded a moment of this march: A paper sign held up high by one of Jiang’s fellow marchers, the poster clearly stated their supports of the university students “If you all fall, we will still be here!” (Ni men dao xia, hai you wo men). Death On June 3, the situation in Beijing suddenly changed. China Central Television repeatedly broadcast an "Urgent Warning," telling citizens to stay in their homes or they would be responsible for any serious consequences. Jiang became anxious after hearing this news. He worried about the safety of the university students at Tiananmen Square and immediately said he had to join his comrades in Tiananmen Square. Jiang's father, Jiang Peikun, tried to persuade him not to go by saying "Both your brother and sister are married and have left home; if something happens to you, the rest of our life will suffer loneliness."

By the time Jiang was sent to a hospital, his heart had already stopped beating. The death certificate from the hospital stated:
