吳向東曾給工廠工友寫了聲援學生的大字報（見展品1）。他跟弟弟衛東說，當大字報在工廠門口貼出後，下班的工人打著廠旗，往天安門廣場聲援大學生。
北京戒嚴後，他於1989年5月21日寫下遺書，提到「我作好了與學生同在的準備，就是死了也在所不惜。這是為了民主和自由。」（見展品2）
吳向東下班後，常去廣場幫助維持秩序、保護學生。不少人在他衣服、帽子、鞋上簽名留念。
Wu Xiangdong wrote big-character posters to factory co-workers in support of students. He told his younger brother Weidong that when the posters were put up at the factory entrance, the off-duty workers brought the factory flag to Tiananmen Square to support the university students.
Under Beijing martial law, Wu Xiangdong wrote his will (Exhibit 2) on May 21st, 1989. On the testament, he mentioned “I’ve made preparations to stay with the students. I will not hesitate to die—for democracy and freedom.”
Wu Xiangdong often assisted in maintaining order and protected the students at the square after work. To honour him, many people signed his clothes, hats and shoes.
