Never Forget – Tian’anmen Square, 4 June 1989

Tiananmen vigil Hong Kong

Today we remember those who died in and around Tian’anmen Square in June 1989.

We light a candle in their memory! Not to make a political statement but because honouring and remembering those who have died is an important and integral part of Hong Kong, Chinese and yes English culture.

That some would threaten violence towards those who wish to remember the dead says far more about them than us… What next? Will the Ching Ming Festival be banned as well?
