2026年5月30日, 在“六•四”天安门事件即将迎来37周年祭日之际，中国民主党夏威夷支部于檀香山中国城文化广场隆重举行纪念活动。民主党员和家属在夏威夷和煦的阳光下集结，通过慷慨激昂的演讲与发放传单的方式，共同缅怀为民主自由献身的先烈，向国际社会传递不熄的自由火种。
活动开始前, 所有与会者庄严伫立在文化广场孙中山雕塑前, 高举 “纪念‘六•四’37周年”的白色横幅, 向“六•四”死难者默哀一分钟。
活动中，四位代表发表了富有感召力的讲话。身着“勿忘‘六•四’”黑色T恤的湾区党部副秘书长张小驹字字铿锵：“37年来，中共政权机关算尽，试图抹去那段血染的历史。但历史不会因压制而断流，真相更不会因沉默而湮灭！”他指出，无论是严密的舆论封锁、对亲历者的残酷打压，还是对年轻一代的“洗脑式”遗忘教育，都无法阻挡人们对自由、尊严与公义的渴望。
张小驹特别提到，曾经的香港支联会数十年如一日的坚守，让维园的烛光成为华人世界永恒的记忆与反抗图腾。然而，随着香港“国安法”的实施，支联会被迫解散，李卓人、邹幸彤等也身陷囹圄。这一巨大变故更让世人看清,“六•四”非但未能平反, 自由世界香港的空间却被进一步蚕食的残酷现实。他呼吁：“在今天，我们坚持纪念‘六•四’，不仅是在守护历史真相，更是守卫人类文明的底线与良知！唯有铭记伤痛、直面历史，中国社会才谈得上和解与进步，中国才有可能真正走向宪政民主！”发言后他带领与会者高喊口号:
勿忘“六•四”屠城, 结束一党专政! Never Forget, Never Forgive!
夏威夷支部副主任王礼华分析了当前的国际地缘政治局势。他指出，中国在“六•四”屠杀之后，不但从未向遇难者及其家属作出任何道歉与忏悔，反而在37年后的今天，使这个政权演变得更加专制，对人权与自由的压迫也更加系统化、全面化。唯一不同的是，当年的高压统治，如今又叠加了大数据监控、人脸识别、网络审查与人工智能追踪等高科技数字极权手段，让社会控制达到前所未有的程度。
王礼华表示，直到今天，中国依然是世界上人权状况最严峻的国家之一，大量异议人士、维权律师、宗教信仰群体及少数民族仍持续遭受打压。然而，他同时强调，历史的发展从不会永远停留在黑暗之中。民主浪潮或许会有起伏，追求自由、人权与普世价值的道路也许充满艰难，但人类对尊严与正义的向往终究不可阻挡。他呼吁海内外同胞，尤其是在高压与逆境中的民主人士，更应坚定信念、守望相助，继续为真相、自由与未来中国的民主化坚持发声!
夏威夷党部党员吕斌发言指出，在高压维稳与数字监控不断扩张的背景下，言论自由、宗教信仰自由以及公民基本权利持续受到压制，许多异议人士和维权群体仍身处困境。他呼吁国际社会在关注经济合作与贸易往来的同时，更不能忽视对人权问题的持续关注与监督，应以实际行动推动基本人权保障的落实，让自由与尊严成为国际社会共同坚守的底线。
身着黑色“Stand with Hong Kong”党员李艺在总结发言中动情展望了未来。她强调，民主事业从来不是一代人就能够完成的使命，而是一场需要薪火相传、代代接续的长期奋斗。正因为如此，青年一代的觉醒与参与，决定着未来中国能否真正走向自由、法治与宪政民主。她特别鼓励年轻人勇敢接过追求民主与宪政的接力棒，不论身处世界任何角落，都不要放弃对自由、人权与尊严的向往，更不要因为现实的压力而选择沉默与遗忘。她呼吁身处自由世界的年轻一代珍惜自由社会所赋予的权利与空间，通过学习、交流与行动，将民主、人权与法治的理念不断传播下去，让更多人理解自由的价值，并为未来中国的和平转型积蓄力量。
为了让更多国际友人了解这段历史，参与者们在现场积极向过往路人派发精心制作的英文传单，内容详尽介绍了“六•四”事件的时间线、背景及深远影响，不少游客驻足阅读并与成员交流。
中国民主党夏威夷支部主任孟家虎重申，将持续致力于推动中国民主化进程，直至正义最终实现，荣光归于人民。

The Hawaii Chapter of the China Democratic Party Holds a Commemoration for the 37th Anniversary of “June 4th”
Contributor: Meng Jiahhu
Abstract: On May 30, 2026, on the eve of the 37th anniversary of “June 4th,” the Hawaii Chapter of the China Democratic Party held a commemoration at Chinatown Cultural Plaza in Honolulu. Through moments of silence, speeches, and the distribution of leaflets, attendees paid tribute to the victims of the June 4th incident and expressed their commitment to the values of democracy, freedom, and human rights.
On May 30, 2026, as the 37th anniversary of the June 4th Tiananmen Square incident approached, the Hawaii Chapter of the China Democratic Party held a solemn commemorative event at Chinatown Cultural Plaza in Honolulu. Party members and their families gathered under Hawaii’s warm sunshine. Through impassioned speeches and the distribution of leaflets, they collectively honored the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for democracy and freedom, conveying the unquenchable flame of liberty to the international community.
Before the event began, all attendees stood solemnly before the Sun Yat-sen statue at the Cultural Plaza, holding aloft a white banner reading “Commemorating the 37th Anniversary of June 4th,” and observed a minute of silence in memory of the victims of the June 4th incident.
During the event, four representatives delivered inspiring speeches. Zhang Xiaoju, Deputy Secretary-General of the Bay Area Party Branch, wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with “Never Forget June 4th,” spoke with conviction: “For 37 years, the Chinese Communist regime has gone to great lengths to erase that blood-stained history. But history will not be severed by suppression, nor will the truth be obliterated by silence!” He pointed out that neither the tight media blackout, nor the brutal suppression of eyewitnesses, nor the “brainwashing” education aimed at making the younger generation forget, can stop people’s yearning for freedom, dignity, and justice.
Zhang Xiaoju specifically mentioned that the Hong Kong Alliance’s decades-long steadfast commitment had made the candlelight vigil at Victoria Park an eternal memory and a symbol of resistance in the Chinese world. However, with the implementation of Hong Kong’s National Security Law, the Alliance was forced to disband, and figures such as Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung have been imprisoned. This massive upheaval has made it even clearer to the world that not only has the June 4th incident not been vindicated, but the space for Hong Kong within the free world has been further eroded—a cruel reality. He urged: “Today, our persistence in commemorating ‘June 4th’ is not only about safeguarding historical truth, but also about defending the baseline of human civilization and conscience! Only by remembering the pain and facing history head-on can Chinese society achieve reconciliation and progress, and only then can China truly move toward constitutional democracy!” After his speech, he led the attendees in chanting:
Never forget the June 4th massacre, end one-party dictatorship! Never Forget, Never Forgive!
Wang Lihua, Deputy Director of the Hawaii Chapter, analyzed the current international geopolitical landscape. He pointed out that following the “June 4th” massacre, China has not only failed to offer any apology or expression of remorse to the victims and their families, but 37 years later, the regime has become even more authoritarian, with the suppression of human rights and freedoms growing increasingly systematic and comprehensive. The only difference is that the high-pressure rule of that era has now been compounded by high-tech digital totalitarian measures such as big data surveillance, facial recognition, internet censorship, and AI tracking, bringing social control to an unprecedented level.
Wang Lihua stated that to this day, China remains one of the countries with the most severe human rights situations in the world, with large numbers of dissidents, human rights lawyers, religious groups, and ethnic minorities continuing to face suppression. However, he also emphasized that the course of history never remains forever in darkness. The tide of democracy may ebb and flow, and the path toward freedom, human rights, and universal values may be fraught with difficulties, but humanity’s yearning for dignity and justice is ultimately unstoppable. He called upon compatriots both at home and abroad—especially democrats facing oppression and adversity—to strengthen their resolve, support one another, and continue speaking out for truth, freedom, and the democratization of China’s future!
Lü Bin, a member of the Hawaii Party branch, noted in his remarks that against a backdrop of intensifying social stability maintenance measures and the ever-expanding reach of digital surveillance, freedom of speech, freedom of religious belief, and basic civil rights continue to be suppressed, and many dissidents and rights advocates remain in dire straits. He called on the international community to not only focus on economic cooperation and trade relations but also to maintain continuous attention and oversight regarding human rights issues. He urged the community to take concrete actions to promote the implementation of fundamental human rights protections, ensuring that freedom and dignity become the common bottom line upheld by the international community.
Party member Li Yi, wearing a black “Stand with Hong Kong” shirt, offered an emotional outlook on the future in her concluding remarks. She emphasized that the cause of democracy is never a mission that can be accomplished by a single generation, but rather a long-term struggle that requires the torch to be passed down and carried forward from one generation to the next. Precisely for this reason, the awakening and participation of the younger generation will determine whether China can truly move toward freedom, the rule of law, and constitutional democracy in the future. She particularly encouraged young people to bravely take up the baton of pursuing democracy and constitutional governance. No matter where they are in the world, she urged them not to abandon their aspirations for freedom, human rights, and dignity, and certainly not to choose silence and oblivion because of the pressures of reality. She called on the younger generation in the free world to cherish the rights and space afforded by a free society, and through learning, exchange, and action, to continuously spread the ideals of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, so that more people may understand the value of freedom and build momentum for a peaceful transition in China’s future.
To help more international friends understand this history, participants actively distributed carefully prepared English-language leaflets to passersby at the scene. The leaflets provided a detailed account of the timeline, background, and far-reaching impact of the June 4th incident; many tourists stopped to read them and engage in conversation with the members.
Meng Jiahhu, Director of the Hawaii Chapter of the China Democratic Party, reaffirmed the chapter’s commitment to advancing China’s democratization process until justice is ultimately realized and glory is restored to the people.
