Secondary student, "HK protests make me further understand the June Fourth Incident"
Many Tuen Mun residents joined the June Forth Vigil held by Tuen Mun District Council members. Three secondary students, Tom, Peter and Jason (all pseudonyms) participated in it. They agreed that there was a need to voice out against the regime.
It was the first time participating in the vigil for two out of the three of them who were interview. They were politically apathetic previously, but the protests in Hong Kong made them understand why the students 31 years ago wanted to fight for democracy and freedom.
They stressed that this will not be the last June Forth Vigil held by Hongkongers, because they understand the importance and value of freedom. Peter wanted to study Chinese history due to the recent censorship of the subject. He suggested that even though Hongkongers may not remember the June Forth Incident in the future, but the world will not forget the truth.

Passing On the Memory:
Mother Brought Along Daughter in June Fourth Vigil
At around 1830 in Victoria Park, some members of the public knocked over the barriers encircling the football pitch, and the crowd entered the field.
Miss Wong, who brought her 6 and a half year old daughter, was one of them. She told journalists she still wanted to come to commemorate, even though she knew well of the police’s objection to the assembly. “After all, they would only use tear gas at worst.” She stressed that she came only to mourn, not to join an assembly.
She had brought her daughter along in all the pro-democracy protests she attended since June last year.
