LEAD:


Just before the Tiananmen Square democracy protest was crushed by the Chinese military, three ordinary men from the provinces, threw paint-filled eggs at the portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong. There were arrested and given long jail sentences. Was it an act of bravery, stupidity, naivety or futility? Denise Chong tells the story of “Egg on Mao”.
