1/3: Today is the 32nd anniversary of the #TiananmenSquareMassacre, where large-scale democracy protests were gunned down by the army; a humiliating reminder of the #CCP‘s absolute intolerance of all dissent. Thus, all mention/commemoration of #June4th are banned on the mainland. 
2/3: The banning of the massacre’s remembrance has spread to Hong Kong. A vigil was formerly held in Victoria Park for three decades, where people gathered with lit candles united by democratic desire. Now, the vigil and similar commemorative activities have been banned.
3/3: Nevertheless, we must remember and pass down this valuable history. We cannot willingly recede our right to keep governments accountable for their mistakes.
Light a candle tonight. Not just to commemorate, but to defend our democratic rights.
Our fight is far from over.
