Hong Kong Lingnan University removes Tiananmen Massacre relief citing legal and safety concerns
On December 24, 2021, Lingnan University (#LU) was the third University in Hong Kong to tear down monuments commemorating the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre from their campuses on two consecutive days before Christmas.
The removals came one day after the University of Hong Kong (#HKU) dismantled the Pillar of Shame during the night of December 23, 2021
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) removed the Goddess of Democracy statue from its campus in the early morning of December 24, whilst Lingnan University took off a Tiananmen Massacre relief citing safety and legal issues on the same day.
The student union expresses "deep regret for the university’s unilateral decision to remove the monument, with no communication with the students." They also "strongly condemn the move by the university to obliterate the historical symbol.”
The relief was created by Chinese-born New Zealand sculptor Chen Weiming in May 2009 – portrayed iconic scenes of the student-led democracy movement in Beijing which was forcefully clamped down by the People’s Liberation Army on June 4, 1989. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, died.
The art piece had shown the “Tank Man” image where an unnamed individual stood in front of a line of tanks, as well as impressions of citizens rushing injured protesters to the hospital on bicycles.
Some students said theu knew the removal of the relief by Lingnan University was coming; while some were surprised that it took place just a day after HKU removed another monument, the Pillar of Shame, overnight on Thursday.

前日，香港大學突然以老化及日久失修為名，將矗立於校內代表六四大屠殺的國殤之柱拆除，將其遷移至位於石崗的香港大學嘉道理中心。期間亦有多名警員暗中監察，令不少聲音指移除國殤之柱乃政府幕後策劃。
今晨約6時，中文大學及嶺南大學相繼傳出再有同類事件發生。位於中文大學內，代表六四事件的民主女神像今晨被移除，有警員從旁觀察整個過程，據悉，校方曾考慮直接摧毁及棄置。而嶺南大學的天安門大屠殺浮雕亦被拆除，未知去向。
