HK district council members paid tribute to Tiananmen Massacre anniversary

Three district council members paid tribute to the 31st Tiananmen Massacre anniversary today at The Flying Frenchman Monument in Tsim Sha Tsui. Leslie Chan Ka Long (Yau Tsim Mong district), Michael Mo Kwan Tai (Tun Mun district) and Cheung Man Lung (Kwai Tsing district) planned to ring a bell three times at 08:09PM local time.

Due to the extension of physical distancing measures in Hong Kong, Michael Mo said they would only lay flowers and battery-powered candles. There would be no slogan chanting nor movie projection. “We don’t want those who simply want to pay tribute to have come here and ended up being arrested by police for no reason,” he added.

The Flying Frenchman Monument was created by French sculptor Cesar Baldaccini. He spent two years after the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989 to create this piece, originally named The Freedom Fighter, and donated it to Hong Kong where an annual vigil has been taking place since 1990 - until this year.
