"Why? This is my duty": #June4 Banner appears in Hong Kong despite suppression
June 4, 2022 marks 33 years since the 1989 #TiananmenSquareMassacre in Beijing. At the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), a banner that read "Why? [Because] This is my duty" was displayed on a fence outside of the dormitory of New Asia College. The image and quote on the banner was taken from a BBC documentary of the Tiananmen Massacre.
The scene from the documentary, in which the student gave the quoted answer in English, can be viewed on BBC News Chinese: https://youtu.be/ExqqdUXXdgA?t=69
By 1am, however, the banner was removed after the campus security took a photo.
In addition, it was reported that a flashmob activity to "look for the Statue of the Goddess of Democracy" was briefly held at midnight on CUHK campus. Handbills that read "Missing: Goddess of Democracy" were posted around the New Asia College and the United College, but by 6am, all of them were removed by campus security.
The Statue of the Goddess of Democracy had previously been on display at CUHK for 11 years, commemorating the 1989 pro-democracy movement in China and the victims of the brutal crackdown by the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government. It was removed by the university authority without notice on Christmas eve of 2021.

1989年的北京，天安門廣場。
中國政府動用軍隊，向手無寸鐵的學生和市民開槍，
曾令億萬人充滿希望的政治改革戛然而止。
這個震驚世界的事件，
如今在中國仍然是不能公開討論的話題。
一場學生運動，為什麼以武力鎮壓結局？
當年，到底發生了什麼？

Hong Kong media credibility drops to new low, study finds
Public trust in the credibility of Hong Kong’s media has fallen to its lowest level in two decades, according to a survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK).
“That means people generally don’t trust the media enough. And the media may not be able to function properly trying to report on social issues, events and monitoring the situation for the citizens. So this is not good.”
