Hong Kong Artists Use Creative Means to Remember June 4 Tiananmen Massacre
Part 1:
Although the Hong Kong Police banned the annual candlelight vigil on the 32nd anniversary of #TiananmenMassacre on June 4, 2021, the cordons cannot put out the flames of remembrance.
Many artists and performers in Hong Kong held memorials in their own ways, keeping the memories of the truth alive.
Political cartoonist #ZunZi continued his 32-year tradition of drawing a June 4-themed cartoon, despite the threat of #NationalSecurityLaw.
"Considering the situation this year, it doesn't matter if anyone else is speaking up about [June 4]," he says, referring to how much satire he intended to put into this year's comic. "I need to draw more!"
