#NeverForget: 21 Months Since the 8.31 Prince Edward Station Attack by the Police
May 31, 2021 marks 21 months since the Hong Kong Police attacked the Prince Edward subway station and assaulted passengers in the train and on the platform.
In face of the heavy police presence and the fear of the National Security Law, some Hongkongers insisted in mourning the casaulties of the pro-democracy movement.
The photos captured a senior citizen praying with a candle next to the subway station. During the Anti-ELAB protest, a make-shift altar was installed next to the station for citizens to pay tribute to the victims of the movement.

Unafraid: Hongkongers Insist on Remembering CCP's Brutal Crackdown on June 4, 1989
Despite the police's massive suppression of the annual #TiananmenMassacre #CandleLight #Vigil, Hong Kong citizens persevered to commemorate the victims of the #ChineseCommunistParty's brutal crackdown on June 4, 1989.
Although the Hong Kong police cordoned off Victoria Park at 2pm, some citizens showed up at 5pm.
One held a candle that writes "support Tiananmen's Mothers"; one brought white flowers to pay tribute; one displayed today's Epoch Times, headlining the police's suppression of the vigil; another one showed an 32-year-old edition of China-funded Ta Kung Pao, mocking the newspaper's change of narrative towards the Tiananmen Massacre.

On Christmas Eve, there was candlelight on the CUHK campus, sorrowing where the Goddess of Democracy is
The annual June 4th candlelight vigils in Victoria Park that had been banned for two consecutive years has "reappeared" in the Chinese University in Hong Kong (#CUHK) on Christmas Eve, following authorities deliberate removal of the statue of the Goddess of Democracy overnight.
The statue which had been placed on the university campus for 11 years, was suddenly removed without a word of warning on December 24, a day after the Pillar of Shame was dismantled in the University of Hong Kong (#HKU) on December 23.

After lunch time, some students used dozens of pictures of the Goddess of Democracy statue to recreate the statue of Goddess of Democracy in CUHK.
Graduates and citizens even seen presenting flowers to the "new" statue in a bid to express their grief.
In the evening, they lit small candles that pieced together the appearance of “June 4th”, “democracy”, and “Goddess of Democracy”. It looked as if the long-lost candlelight vigils - held in remembrance of victims of June 4th massacre in Beijing - has actually "reappeared" on the campus of CUHK on Christmas Eve this year.
Brandon, a CUHK student, expressed that the statue of Goddess of Democracy symbolized not only the “June 4th incident”, it was also an indicator of freedom of speech and political climate in the university and the society at large.
He said the students knew that the school will remove the statue of Goddess of Democracy when HKU removed the Pillar of Shame. They believed it fell beyond the control of the university management.
“However we didn't expect that the statue literally disappeared overnight," added Brandon in distress.
