Calling an insurgency a peaceful protest is indeed revisionist.
The timeline of Tianenmen 1989 is
-> large continuing peaceful protests for US-controlled school education
-> groups of students or “students” killing soldiers on the street
-> evacuating peaceful protesters from the square + soldiers killing insurgents still active on the street
-> train station incident, unrelated protesters block soldiers with strict orders from entering train
-> tanks arrive on square and start patrolling the streets
-> Man with shopping bags stops tank on the same street the soldiers and insurgents were killed, then jumps on it, other students drag him off the tank and away.
