各位朋友、各位同道：今天，我们在多伦多再次聚集在一起，纪念1989年6月4日那场惨绝人寰的大屠杀，37周年。37年了。那一夜的枪声、坦克的履带声、鲜血染红的长安街，至今仍在无数人的噩梦中回响。那不是什么“平息动乱”，那是中共政权对和平请愿的大学生和市民，对要求民主、反腐、要自由的中国人，进行的血腥屠杀。它用最残忍的方式告诉全世界：这个党从来不把人民当人。我们已经很多年不再喊“平反六四”的口号了。因为中共早已彻底失去了所谓平反的资格。一个手上沾满人民鲜血的政权，没有资格审判自己，更没有资格对被它屠杀的人民“平反”。平反的前提是承认错误、承担罪责、接受正义的审判。而中共至今仍在封锁真相、抹黑死难者、监禁纪念者。它不仅不认罪，反而把屠杀包装成“伟大胜利”。这样的党，我们只剩下一个词给它——清算。37年过去，越来越多的真相从北京以外的省市浮出水面。我们看到成都、西安、武汉、长沙、广州、浙江……无数城市都发生过开枪镇压、坦克碾压、秘密处决和大规模抓捕。那些被掩埋的尸体、被消失的名单、被改写的档案，正在被幸存者、目击者和研究者一点点挖出来。这证明六四不是孤立的“北京事件”，而是一场全国性的、有预谋的屠杀运动。中共对人民的恐惧和敌视，从来不是局限于首都，而是遍及整个中国。八九年“六四”事件后，浙江省共有上百人被抓捕并被判处不同刑期的徒刑或劳动教养。其中，仅在集中关押“六四”政治犯的浙江省第四监狱（现乔司监狱），被判刑期在一年以上的政治犯就达45人。因此，今天我们更要做的，不是空喊口号，而是系统地、顽强地搜集、整理、保存所有屠杀证据：每一颗子弹、每一份死亡名单、每一段视频、每一张照片、每一位幸存者的证词。我们要把这些证据像钉子一样钉进历史，让任何人、任何时候都无法抵赖。唯有证据充分，我们才能为未来的大清算做好最坚实的准备。那一天终将到来——不是复仇，而是正义的审判，是把加害者绳之以法、还死难者一个公道、还历史一个真相。与此同时，我呼吁大家继续关注和支持六四纪念馆的建设，关注和支持自由雕塑公园的建设。这不是哪一个组织的纪念馆和雕塑公园，这是我们这一代人自己的记忆！它属于所有曾经在黑暗中点过蜡烛、喊过口号、失去亲友、流亡海外、坐过牢、被监控、至今仍心怀恐惧却不愿遗忘的人。它是我们对死难者的承诺，也是我们留给下一代最珍贵的遗产：记住真相、拒绝遗忘、传承抵抗。朋友们，37年不是结束，而是新的开始。中共可以封锁互联网，可以删除历史，可以继续用谎言和暴力维系统治，但它封锁不了人心，抹杀不了记忆，更阻挡不了真相像种子一样在地下生根发芽。让我们把悲痛化为力量，把记忆化为行动。继续搜集证据，继续支持六四纪念馆，继续支持自由雕塑公园，继续把六四的火种传递下去。直到有一天，当那个作恶的政权彻底倒下，当自由、民主、法治真正降临这片土地，我们可以告慰所有六四的亡灵：我们没有忘记。我们一直在战斗。我们终于等到了这一天。我是陈立群，我在美国纽约。谢谢大家。2026年6月 多伦多

Speech at the Chinese Democratic Party Rally in Toronto on June 4th, 2026

Author: Chen Liqun

Friends, fellow advocates: Today, we gather once again in Toronto to commemorate the 37th anniversary of that tragically cruel massacre on June 4th, 1989.

37 years have passed. The gunfire of that night, the rumbling of tank tracks, and Chang’an Avenue stained red with blood still echo in the nightmares of countless people. That was no “quelling of a counter-revolutionary riot”; that was the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime conducting a bloody slaughter against university students and citizens peacefully petitioning—against Chinese people demanding democracy, opposing corruption, and wanting freedom. It used the most brutal method to tell the entire world: this Party has never treated the people as human beings.

We have not shouted the slogan “Vindicate June 4th” for many years now. Because the CCP has long since completely lost the so-called qualification to vindicate anyone. A regime whose hands are stained with the blood of the people has no qualification to judge itself, let alone to “vindicate” the people it slaughtered. The prerequisite for vindication is admitting mistakes, bearing criminal responsibility, and accepting the judgment of justice. Yet, to this day, the CCP is still blockading the truth, smearing the victims, and imprisoning those who commemorate. Not only does it refuse to plead guilty, it instead packages the massacre as a “great victory.” For such a Party, we have only one word left—reckoning.

37 years have passed, and more and more truths are surfacing from provinces and cities outside of Beijing. We see that in Chengdu, Xi’an, Wuhan, Changsha, Guangzhou, Zhejiang… countless cities have experienced opening fire to suppress, tank crushing, secret executions, and mass arrests. Those buried corpses, vanished names, and rewritten archives are being dug out piece by piece by survivors, eyewitnesses, and researchers. This proves that June 4th was not an isolated “Beijing Incident,” but a nationwide, premeditated campaign of massacre. The CCP’s fear and hostility toward the people have never been confined to the capital, but are spread throughout the whole of China. After the “June 4th” incident in 1989, a total of over a hundred people in Zhejiang Province were arrested and sentenced to prison terms of varying lengths or to labor re-education. Among them, in the Zhejiang Province Fourth Prison (now Qiaosi Prison) alone, where “June 4th” political prisoners were centrally detained, the number of political prisoners sentenced to terms of over one year reached 45.

Therefore, what we need to do even more today is not to shout empty slogans, but to systematically and tenaciously collect, organize, and preserve all evidence of the massacre: every single bullet, every single death list, every piece of video, every photograph, and every survivor’s testimony. We must drive these evidences like nails into history, making it impossible for anyone to deny them at any time. Only with sufficient evidence can we make the most solid preparations for the future great reckoning. That day will eventually come—not for revenge, but for the judgment of justice, to bring the perpetrators to justice, return fairness to the victims, and restore truth to history.

At the same time, I call upon everyone to continue paying attention to and supporting the construction of the June 4th Memorial Museum, and to pay attention to and support the construction of the Liberty Sculpture Park. This is not the memorial museum or sculpture park of any single organization; this is the memory of our own generation! It belongs to everyone who has ever lit a candle in the darkness, shouted a slogan, lost relatives or friends, gone into exile overseas, sat in prison, been monitored, and who to this day still harbors fear yet refuses to forget. It is our promise to the victims, and it is also the most precious legacy we leave to the next generation: remember the truth, refuse to forget, and pass down the resistance.

Friends, 37 years is not the end, but a new beginning. The CCP can blockade the internet, can delete history, and can continue to maintain its rule through lies and violence, but it cannot blockade human hearts, it cannot erase memories, and it certainly cannot stop the truth from taking root and sprouting underground like seeds.

Let us transform sorrow into strength and memory into action. Continue to collect evidence, continue to support the June 4th Memorial Museum, continue to support the Liberty Sculpture Park, and continue to pass down the spark of June 4th. Until one day, when that evil regime completely collapses, and when freedom, democracy, and the rule of law truly descend upon this land, we can comfort all the departed souls of June 4th:

We have not forgotten. We have been fighting all along. We have finally waited until this day.

I am Chen Liqun, I am in New York, USA. Thank you, everyone.
