"Pass On the Spirit of June 4": Ms. Wong Attends Taikoo Vigil with Young Daughter
Photo: ⬆️
A young girl attended the vigil in Taikoo with her mothe with a June 4 remembrance candle in hand. When being asked, she said she didn't know the details of what happened on that night in 1989. Ms. Wong, her mother, said her daughter only remembered the scene of tanks rolling into the city. They both attended the June 4 vigil in Victoria park last year.
Ms. Wong believes that the spirit of June 4 must be passed down to the next generation, just as it had been passed down to her from her father, who brought her to the annual vigils when she was young. She is quite disappointed that the police had denied the vigil this year; she said that it makes for a more impactful image when a large number of people gather to in remembrance.
Remembering June 4 is about justice and staying true to your beliefs, she continued. When she brought her daughter into this world, she had never imagined Hong Kong would turn out like this. She is concerned that, in the future, schools in Hong Kong might no longer teach the facts of June 4 truthfully; however, she stressed that she would teach her daughter, so that she would know right from wrong. Even if the National Security Law comes into force in Hong Kong, she insists she would commemorate the date in other ways.

At this moment, there are still countless people around the world who are struggling against oppression, paying for their political beliefs with their lives. I think this is why such days must be remembered.

You can ban gatherings, but you can't resist people's hearts:
Mourning June 4th on Animal Crossing
The Hong Kong government has banned the Tiananmen massacre commemoration in Victoria Park for the first time in 30 years, on the pretext of epidemic prevention.
However, the public's heart for mourning did not give up. In addition to the mourning activities in various districts, players of the popular game "Animal Crossing" also took advantage of its high degree of freedom to arrange their own islands and organize alternative mourning activities to express their feelings for the massacre.
"Animal Crossing" was previously taken off shelves in China due to its high degree of freedom.

Uncle Mak joined his first ever June Fourth Vigil this year in Tuen Mun. He decided to participate after feeling disgusted by the government banning the vigil this year.

First June Fourth Vigil in Hong Kong Without an Organiser
Although the 31st June Fourth Vigil was banned by the Hong Kong government, thousands of citizens went to Victoria Park to commemorate the victims of the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989.
Pro-democracy lawmakers, district councillors and activists including Chu Hoi-dick, Lester Shum and Nathan Law went to the Victoria Park as participants played “Glory to Hong Kong” and yelled slogans like “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times”.
Tsuen Wan District Councillor Lester Sham said this was a meaningful June Fourth Vigil having no organiser. He suggested that participants had different viewpoints during this event, but it is this diversity that makes Hong Kong different from China.

Prosecutor: Leaving Hong Kong after Attending June 4 Tiananmen Massacre Vigil is Absconding
In Hong Kong, 26 pro-democracy activists were charged with "unlawful assembly" by attending the Tiananmen Massacre Vigil in Hong Kong in 2020.
The prosecution attempted to apply for the imposition of bail conditions prohibiting defendants from leaving Hong Kong. Among the 26 defendents, former Demosisto chairperson Nathan Law Kwun-chung and Sunny Cheung, former spokesman for the Hong Kong Higher Institutions International Affairs Delegation (#HKIAD) had left Hong Kong.
The Magistrate pointed out that the summon was made on August 6, 2020 while Nathan Law had left Hong Kong as early as June 27, 2020.
Prosecution, however, insisted that by attending the "unlawful assembly" on June 4, “Law knows well he has breached the law.” Co-defendants in the court all laughed at this unprofessional explanation.
