June 4 Vigil Held Outside of Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre

19:41 | #LaiChiKok Detention Centre

In the face of “National Security Law” and “gathering ban”,the June 4 Vigil, held annually in the memory of victims of Tiananmen Square Massacre, was banned this year, making it the first time it has been banned in 30 years.

The Hong Kong Alliance, in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China called on the public to uphold the “candle-lit” tradition, including those pro-democracy protesters currently being detained for participating in anti-ELAB activities.

An informal gathering was arranged this evening (June 3) outside of the Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre for supporters to mourn and pay tribute to the Massacre victims.

從臺灣而來的祝福

在地球上其他地方,每一分鐘就有60秒過去。

可是在中國,每一年卻只有364個日子,有一天被遺忘掉了。

過去在台灣,我們也曾經有許多日子,不能出現在日曆上面,但我們一個一個把它們找回來了。因為我們不必再隱匿歷史,所以我們可以共同思索未來。

希望這世界上每一個角落、每一片土地,都不要再有消失的日子。也祝福香港。

Blessings from Taiwan

Around the world, there are 365 days in a year. Yet in China, one of those days is purposely forgotten each year. In Taiwan, there were once days missing from our calendar, but we’ve worked to bring them to light. I hope one day China can say the same.

Citizens Gather for Vigil Despite No Approval

19:19 | #VictoriaPark

Today is the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which happened on the 4th of June 1989. It has been estimated that thousands of lives were lost after the People's Liberation Army, under the command of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, opened fire and rolled armoured vehicles and tanks into the square.

Despite today's vigil being one that has not been approved by the police force, people still gathered, just like what they would do on this day, every single year since '89.

Citizens also took the initiative to keep a safe distance away from each other to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

You can ban gatherings, but you can't resist people's hearts:
Mourning June 4th on Animal Crossing

The Hong Kong government has banned the Tiananmen massacre commemoration in Victoria Park for the first time in 30 years, on the pretext of epidemic prevention.

However, the public's heart for mourning did not give up. In addition to the mourning activities in various districts, players of the popular game "Animal Crossing" also took advantage of its high degree of freedom to arrange their own islands and organize alternative mourning activities to express their feelings for the massacre.

"Animal Crossing" was previously taken off shelves in China due to its high degree of freedom.
