攝影記者：關永傑

【舊金山灣區訊】為紀念香港反修例/“反送中”運動七週年，由海外流散港人社群及多個民間團體發起的全球接力活動“6·12雨傘不倒·並肩同行”於2026年6月12日在全球多個城市同步舉行。根據海外媒體《追光者》全球現場聯動統籌統計，活動至少獲得全球20多個主要城市響應，包括英國倫敦、列斯、諾丁漢、雷丁、曼徹斯特、伯明翰，美國洛杉磯、舊金山、紐約、聖地亞哥、亞利桑那鳳凰城、夏威夷，加拿大溫哥華、多倫多，澳大利亞多個城市，以及新西蘭的奧克蘭、基督城、台灣台北等地接力舉行紀念活動。

6月11日傍晚，由美國香港人會館（USHongKongers Club）、北美香港會（NORCAL HK CLUB）、香港自由民主黨、中國民主人權聯盟、中國民主黨等聯合發起的灣區紀念活動在舊金山舉行。數十名灣區香港人、中國民主運動人士及各界支持者到場參與。活動開始前，現場拉起“Free Hong Kong”、“Free Jimmy Lai（釋放黎智英）”等橫幅，“光復香港，時代革命”旗幟迎風飄揚。活動由美國香港人會館成員Bruce與Jenny共同主持。

Jenny在開場致辭中表示，過去七年間，大批異議人士身陷囹圄，許多聲音被消滅，自由逐漸消失，無數香港人被迫流散海外。然而，她相信香港人並沒有遺忘。她說：“七年過去，我們的家園已面目全非，時間不斷向前，但傷口從未愈合，記憶也從未消失。”她感謝仍然願意站出來的人們，用行動證明香港的故事仍被銘記。

開場致辭結束後，主持人帶領全體參與者，向那些為爭取自由而失去生命的人們默哀一分鐘。

隨後，全體與會者合唱《Do You Hear the People Sing》，重溫2019年香港街頭爭取自由民主的共同記憶。

劉俊：香港曾是“六·四”逃亡者的生命通道

“六·四”學運領袖之一、經“黃雀行動”逃往香港後再流亡美國的劉俊律師回顧自己參與1989年民主運動的經歷。他表示，當年廣州學生走上街頭，是為了抗議中共以坦克和機關槍鎮壓無辜學生和市民，而非破壞社會秩序。劉俊特別感謝香港人在“六·四”之後對中國民主運動人士的援助。他表示，自己被通緝後能夠成功逃離中國，正是因為香港人士冒著生命危險深入大陸營救民主人士。他認為，中國爭取民主自由、結束一黨專政的現代民主運動真正始於1989年。而對於香港今日的處境，劉俊深感痛惜。他表示，37年過去，中國大陸仍未實現民主自由，而香港也已經失去原有的自由空間。他呼籲香港人、大陸民主人士、西藏人以及維吾爾人等各受壓迫群體團結合作，共同推動中國實現民主轉型。

方政：香港曾是“六·四”受難者最大的精神慰藉

“六·四”親歷者、中國民主黨舊金山黨部主席方政率領多位黨員參加活動。方政表示，“反送中”運動中同樣有人失去生命、失去自由，而香港長期以來對中國民主運動人士的支持令人難忘。他說，“六·四”之後，支聯會和維園燭光晚會給予無數“六·四”受難者巨大的精神慰藉和希望。然而，2019年之後，香港自由空間急速萎縮，維園燭光晚會成為歷史。他感慨地說，香港人在2019年6月12日所展現的抗爭精神，很可能是香港歷史上最後一次百萬人民能夠自由表達訴求的時刻。方政認為，要讓香港重新獲得自由，最終必須結束中共專制統治。他最後帶領全場高呼：“End CCP！Free Hong Kong！”

Ken：鎮壓可以囚禁人民，卻無法囚禁思想

北加州香港會負責人Ken在演講中回顧了“反送中”運動的發展歷程。他指出，七年前香港人最初反對的似乎只是一項引渡條例修訂，但後來事實證明，人們低估了這項法案背後的意義。“反送中”運動之後發生的，不僅是一場抗爭的失敗，而是香港整個制度、自由和多元價值的系統性瓦解。Ken列舉《香港國安法》實施、《蘋果日報》被迫停刊、香港47人案以及黎智英被重判等事件，指出香港原有的自由社會正被有計劃地拆解。他進一步將香港與波蘭團結工會運動、南非反種族隔離運動以及台灣民主化歷程進行比較，指出，歷史反復證明：專制政權可以暫時壓制反對聲音，卻無法消滅追求自由的思想。他說：“中共花了七年時間試圖讓香港忘記自己是誰，但它沒有成功。因為你們在這裡，因為我們在這裡，因為在世界各地香港人居住的城市裡，燭光仍然燃燒，呼聲依然響亮。故事仍在繼續，最後一章遠未到來。”

Cindy牧師：愛是否能夠勝過恐懼

來自香港的Cindy牧師在發言中坦言，在當前的白色恐怖環境下，許多人已經害怕談論香港、害怕公開發聲，因此當天能夠看到這麼多人站出來，讓她十分感動。她表示，今天站在現場的人，不只是支持香港，更是在支持正義、真理與自由。長期從事流亡港人心理輔導工作的她介紹，許多離開香港的年輕抗爭者至今仍飽受創傷後壓力症候群（PTSD）困擾，經常做噩夢，不敢出門，甚至因為政治立場不同而與家人斷絕關係。她分享自己在精神健康機構和教會中的工作經歷，表示自己能夠做的或許有限，但仍希望盡己所能陪伴這些流亡者，協助他們接受心理咨詢與治療。活動現場，她特別準備了黃色玫瑰送給參與者，希望大家以此紀念2019年運動中失去生命的人們。她說：“當你們拿起這朵黃玫瑰，請記住正義的精神、真實的精神，以及無畏抗爭的精神。”

易碎君：保存真相，守護火種

流亡美國四年的香港青年梁啓駿（網名“易碎君”）分享了自己的經歷。他回憶，2022年香港國安人員搜查其住所，沒收電子設備，並要求交出密碼，甚至勸說他“改邪歸正”。在不斷加劇的政治壓力下，他最終決定離開香港。梁啓駿2022年踏足美國的時候，只有15歲，他坦言，爭取公義需要付出極其沉重的代價，許多人難以想象其中的痛苦、漫長、煎熬。然而，他相信只要團結一致，堅持保存真相、守護火種，未來仍然有希望。他說：“只要我們把真相保存下來，把火種保存下來，星星之火終將可以燎原。”

撐起雨傘 重現2019抗爭記憶

活動最後，全體與會者合唱《願榮光歸香港》。隨後，參與者高舉示威標語和撐起黃雨傘，共同重現2019年香港街頭抗爭的經典畫面。

“雨傘不倒，並肩同行”，參與者表示，無論身在何方，都不會忘記香港人為自由付出的犧牲，也將繼續傳承“反送中”運動所代表的民主、公義與抗爭精神。

June 12: The Umbrella Does Not Fall, Walking Side by Side ——The Bay Area Holds a Commemorative Rally for the Seventh Anniversary of the “Anti-Extradition” Movement

Photojournalist: Guan Yongjie

Abstract: Bay Area Hongkongers and democratic groups held a commemorative rally for the seventh anniversary of the “Anti-Extradition” movement to look back on the history of resistance, voice support for political prisoners, and call for safeguarding truth, freedom, and democratic values.

【San Francisco Bay Area News】To commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-Extradition) Movement, the global relay event “6·12: The Umbrella Does Not Fall, Walking Side by Side,” initiated by the overseas diasporic Hong Kong community and multiple civil society groups, was held simultaneously across multiple cities around the world on June 12, 2026. According to the statistics of the global live linkage coordination by the overseas media The Light Chaser, the event received responses from at least 20 major cities worldwide, holding commemorative events in a relay format, including London, Leeds, Nottingham, Reading, Manchester, and Birmingham in the United Kingdom; Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, San Diego, Phoenix in Arizona, and Hawaii in the United States; Vancouver and Toronto in Canada; multiple cities in Australia; as well as Auckland and Christchurch in New Zealand, and Taipei in Taiwan, among other places.

On the evening of June 11, the Bay Area commemorative event, jointly initiated by the US Hong Kongers Club, the NorCal HK Club, the Hong Kong Liberal Democratic Party, the Chinese Democracy & Human Rights Alliance, and the China Democratic Party, among others, was held in San Francisco. Dozens of Bay Area Hongkongers, Chinese democracy movement activists, and supporters from all walks of life attended the event. Before the event began, banners such as “Free Hong Kong” and “Free Jimmy Lai” were set up at the venue, and the “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” flags fluttered in the wind. The event was co-hosted by US Hong Kongers Club members Bruce and Jenny.

In her opening remarks, Jenny stated that over the past seven years, a large number of dissidents have been thrown into prison, many voices have been eliminated, freedom has gradually vanished, and countless Hongkongers have been forced into exile overseas. However, she believes that Hongkongers have not forgotten. She said: “Seven years have passed, and our homeland has changed beyond recognition. Time keeps moving forward, but the wounds have never healed, and the memories have never disappeared.” She expressed her gratitude to those who are still willing to step forward, proving through their actions that the story of Hong Kong is still being remembered.

After the opening remarks concluded, the hosts led all participants in observing a one-minute silence for those who lost their lives in the struggle for freedom.

Subsequently, all attendees sang “Do You Hear the People Sing” in chorus, revisiting the shared memory of striving for freedom and democracy on the streets of Hong Kong in 2019. Liu Jun: Hong Kong Was Once a Life Passage for “June Fourth” Escapees.

Lawyer Liu Jun, one of the leaders of the “June Fourth” student movement who escaped to Hong Kong through “Operation Yellowbird” and later went into exile in the United States, looked back on his experience participating in the 1989 Democracy Movement. He stated that back then, Guangzhou students took to the streets to protest the Chinese Communist Party’s suppression of innocent students and citizens with tanks and machine guns, rather than to disrupt social order. Liu Jun expressed special gratitude to the people of Hong Kong for their assistance to the Chinese democracy movement activists after “June Fourth.” He stated that after he was put on the wanted list, his ability to successfully escape from China was precisely because Hong Kong individuals risked their lives going deep into the mainland to rescue pro-democracy figures. He believes that the modern democracy movement in China to strive for democracy and freedom and to end the one-party dictatorship truly began in 1989. As for Hong Kong’s situation today, Liu Jun felt deep pain and regret. He stated that thirty-seven years have passed, and mainland China has still not realized democracy and freedom, while Hong Kong has also already lost its original space of freedom. He called upon various oppressed groups, including Hongkongers, mainland democracy activists, Tibetans, and Uyghurs, to unite and cooperate to jointly promote the realization of a democratic transition in China. Fang Zheng: Hong Kong Was Once the Greatest Spiritual Consolation for “June Fourth” Victims.

Fang Zheng, a firsthand witness of “June Fourth” and the Chairman of the San Francisco Branch of the China Democratic Party, led multiple party members to participate in the event. Fang Zheng stated that during the “Anti-Extradition” movement, there were likewise people who lost their lives and lost their freedom, and Hong Kong’s long-term support for Chinese democracy movement activists is unforgettable. He said that after “June Fourth,” the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and the Victoria Park candlelit vigils gave countless “June Fourth” victims immense spiritual consolation and hope. However, after 2019, Hong Kong’s space of freedom shrunk rapidly, and the Victoria Park candlelit vigils became history. He said with deep emotion that the spirit of resistance displayed by Hongkongers on June 12, 2019, was very likely the last moment in Hong Kong’s history when millions of people could freely express their demands. Fang Zheng believes that for Hong Kong to regain its freedom, the autocratic rule of the Chinese Communist Party must ultimately be ended. In closing, he led the entire venue in shouting: “End CCP! Free Hong Kong!”

Ken: Suppression Can Imprison People, But It Cannot Imprison Thoughts

Ken, the leader of the NorCal HK Club, reviewed the development course of the “Anti-Extradition” movement in his speech. He pointed out that seven years ago, what Hongkongers initially opposed seemed to be merely an amendment to an extradition ordinance, but subsequent facts proved that people had underestimated the significance behind this bill. What occurred after the “Anti-Extradition” movement was not merely the failure of a resistance, but the systematic disintegration of Hong Kong’s entire system, freedom, and pluralistic values. Ken cited events such as the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the forced closure of Apple Daily, the Hong Kong 47 case, and the heavy sentencing of Jimmy Lai, pointing out that Hong Kong’s original free society is being systematically dismantled. He further compared Hong Kong with the Solidarity movement in Poland, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, and Taiwan’s democratization process, pointing out that history has repeatedly proven that autocratic regimes can temporarily suppress opposing voices, but they cannot eradicate thoughts that pursue freedom. He said: “The CCP spent seven years trying to make Hong Kong forget who it is, but it did not succeed. Because you are here, because we are here, and because in cities where Hongkongers reside all over the world, the candlelight still burns and the outcries remain loud. The story is still continuing, and the final chapter is far from arriving.”

Pastor Cindy: Can Love Triumph Over Fear

Pastor Cindy from Hong Kong candidly expressed in her speech that under the current environment of white terror, many people have already become afraid to talk about Hong Kong and afraid to speak out publicly, so seeing so many people step forward that day moved her deeply. She stated that the people standing at the scene today are not only supporting Hong Kong, but are furthermore supporting justice, truth, and freedom. Having been engaged in psychological counseling work for exiled Hongkongers for a long time, she introduced that many young resisters who left Hong Kong are still to this day plagued by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), frequently having nightmares, not daring to go out, and even severing ties with their families due to differing political stances. She shared her working experiences in mental health institutions and churches, stating that what she can do might be limited, but she still hopes to do her utmost to accompany these exiles and assist them in receiving psychological counseling and treatment. At the event venue, she specially prepared yellow roses to give to the participants, hoping everyone would use them to commemorate those who lost their lives in the 2019 movement. She said: “When you pick up this yellow rose, please remember the spirit of justice, the spirit of truth, and the spirit of fearless resistance.”

Yi Sui Jun: Preserving the Truth, Safeguarding the Sparks

Leung Kai-chun (online pseudonym “Yi Sui Jun”), a Hong Kong youth who has been in exile in the United States for four years, shared his own experience. He recalled that in 2022, Hong Kong national security personnel searched his residence, confiscated his electronic equipment, demanded that he hand over his passwords, and even persuaded him to “abandon evil and return to the righteous path.” Under the continuously intensifying political pressure, he ultimately decided to leave Hong Kong. When Leung Kai-chun set foot in the United States in 2022, he was only 15 years old. He candidly expressed that striving for justice requires paying an extremely heavy price, and the pain, length, and torment involved are difficult for many people to imagine. However, he believes that as long as everyone unites as one, persists in preserving the truth, and safeguards the sparks, there is still hope for the future. He said: “As long as we preserve the truth and preserve the sparks, a single spark can eventually start a prairie fire.”

Holding Up Umbrellas: Recreating the 2019 Resistance Memories

At the end of the event, all attendees sang “Glory to Hong Kong” in chorus. Subsequently, participants held high their protest slogans and opened yellow umbrellas, together recreating the classic scene of the 2019 Hong Kong street resistance.

“The umbrella does not fall, walking side by side.” Participants expressed that no matter where they are, they will never forget the sacrifices Hongkongers made for freedom, and they will continue to pass down the spirit of democracy, justice, and resistance represented by the “Anti-Extradition” movement.

时间如白驹过隙，转眼间，“八九六四”已经过去了三十七个年头。三十七年，足以让当年的热血青年步入两鬓苍苍的暮年，也足以让整整两代人在极权刻意制造的信息黑洞中长大。然而，历史的奇妙之处在于，记忆或许会被高墙暂时封锁，但人类对自由的本能渴望却如同地底的岩浆，总会在最意想不到的时刻破土而出。

回顾这三十七年，民间的反抗其实从未真正中断。虽然天安门广场上的枪声曾换来过长期的表面高压，但从上世纪九十年代前赴后继的民间组党尝试，到2010年前后兴起的“茉莉花行动”与新公民运动，中国知识分子与普通民众一直在威权的缝隙中寻找微光。

而到了近年来，这种长期的压抑终于迎来了全方位的爆发。

作为一名身在美国的中国民主党人，在纪念六四三十七周年的这一刻，坐在键盘前，我脑海中不断交织着几幅画面：一幅是1989年天安门广场上那些头裹红布条、高呼“要自由”的年轻面孔；一幅是中共二十大前夕，在北京四通桥上冲天而起的滚滚浓烟，以及彭立发孤身一人挂出的那两副振聋发聩的横幅；还有一幅，则是随后在上海、北京、洛杉矶和纽约街头，无数年轻人手举白纸、眼神坚定的身影。

这些人和事，在时空上看似零散，但当他们为了同胞的尊严、为了重获自由的权利而呐喊时，那一刻，六四的精神已经完成了一次跨越三十七年的无声共振。

这种共振，首先体现在抗争诉求的底层逻辑上。八九民运的核心，是年轻人对一个公义社会的追求，是对权力和体制黑箱的质问。而四通桥上的那句“要自由，要民主，要选票”，则直接揭开了三十七年来被掩盖的脓包，用最直白的方式将政治诉求重新带回公众视野。随后爆发的白纸运动，正是将四通桥上的政治口号变成了成千上万人的集体呐喊。从三十七年前的广场，到四通桥，再到遍地白纸，追求宪政民主的底层逻辑从未改变。

其次，抗争的形态在残酷的维稳机器下演变出了新的坚韧。八九民运发生在相对集中的空间，依赖于大型集会；而在当代，面对无孔不入的数字监控，反抗化为了四通桥式的“孤勇者”一击，随后又演变成白纸运动中“去中心化”的网络快闪。这种形态的进化让 强大的维稳机器一度措手不及，证明了即便是高墙耸立，民间的智慧与勇气依然能找到突破口。

然而，作为后来者和观察者，我们也必须在共振中看到局限。无论是四通桥的孤胆义举，还是白纸运动的自发泄洪，抗争者在事后都面临着严酷的秋后算账。这恰恰提醒了我们：自发的、去中心化的情绪爆发，如果无法走向长期的、组织化的理性抗争，诉求就很难变成持久的政体改变。

身在美国这片自由的土地上，作为中国民主党的一员，我们不仅是历史记忆的守护者，更应当成为抗争者之间的桥梁。我们拥有发声的自由与组党的空间，这就要求我们不能仅仅停留在悲愤的悼念中。我们要把这种时空共振转化为切实的行动，向新一代的年轻抗争者提供经验与后盾，探讨如何在海外承接这些火种，凝聚成更有韧性、更具建制性的民间力量。

三十七年过去了，天安门广场上的枪声似乎早已远去，但它留下的精神遗产，在四通桥的风烟里，在每一个举起白纸的夜晚，都被赋予了全新的生命力。

反抗的火炬从未熄灭。从1989年到今天，一代人有一代人的长征，但这条通往自由与宪政的路，我们的方向从未改变。

Thirty-Seven Years of the Torch of Democracy: Passed Down from Tiananmen to Contemporary Civil Resistance

By Lu Chao

Abstract: The article points out that the Chinese democracy movement has never been interrupted, stretching from the “Eighty-Nine June Fourth” to the “Jasmine Action” and to the White Paper Movement. However, resistance faces the issue of a lack of organization. The author calls upon overseas Chinese to shoulder their role.

Time flies like a white horse passing a crevice, and in the blink of an eye, thirty-seven years have already passed since “Eighty-Nine June Fourth.” Thirty-seven years are enough to let the passionate youth of those years step into their twilight years with graying hair at their temples, and enough to allow two entire generations to grow up inside an information black hole deliberately manufactured by totalitarianism. However, the wonder of history lies in the fact that while memories may be temporarily blocked by high walls, the instinctive human desire for freedom is like subterranean magma, always breaking through the soil at the most unexpected moments.

Looking back at these thirty-seven years, civil resistance has actually never truly ceased. Although the gunfire in Tiananmen Square once brought about long-term, superficial high pressure, from the succession of civil attempts to form political parties in the 1990s to the rise of the “Jasmine Action” and the New Citizens’ Movement around 2010, Chinese intellectuals and ordinary people have constantly been searching for a glimmer of light within the cracks of authoritarianism.

And in recent years, this long-term suppression has finally ushered in an all-around outbreak.

As a member of the China Democratic Party based in the United States, at this moment of commemorating the thirty-seventh anniversary of June Fourth, sitting in front of my keyboard, several images constantly interweave in my mind: one is the young faces in Tiananmen Square in 1989, their heads wrapped in red cloth strips, shouting loudly “We want freedom”; one is the billowing smoke rising into the sky on the Sitong Bridge in Beijing on the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, along with the two deafening banners hung up by Peng Lifa all by himself; and another is the silhouettes of countless young people holding up white sheets of paper with firm eyes on the streets of Shanghai, Beijing, Los Angeles, and New York that followed.

These people and events appear scattered in time and space, but when they cry out for the dignity of their compatriots and for the right to regain freedom, at that very moment, the spirit of June Fourth has completed a silent resonance spanning thirty-seven years.

This resonance manifests itself, first of all, in the underlying logic of the demands of the resistance. The core of the 1989 Democracy Movement was the pursuit of a just society by young people, and their questioning of power and institutional black boxes. Meanwhile, the phrase “We want freedom, we want democracy, we want votes” on Sitong Bridge directly tore open the abscess that had been covered up for thirty-seven years, bringing political demands back into the public eye in the most straightforward manner. The White Paper Movement that subsequently erupted was precisely what turned the political slogans on Sitong Bridge into the collective shouting of thousands upon thousands of people. From the square thirty-seven years ago, to Sitong Bridge, and then to the white paper everywhere, the underlying logic of pursuing constitutional democracy has never changed.

Furthermore, under the ruthless stability maintenance apparatus, the form of resistance has evolved into a new resilience. The 1989 Democracy Movement took place in a relatively concentrated space and relied on large-scale rallies; whereas in the contemporary era, facing ubiquitous digital surveillance, resistance has transformed into the single blow of a Sitong Bridge-style “lone brave soul,” and subsequently evolved into the “decentralized” cyber-flash mobs of the White Paper Movement. This evolution in form once caught the powerful stability maintenance apparatus unprepared, proving that even when high walls stand tall, civil wisdom and courage can still find a breakthrough.

However, as successors and observers, we must also recognize the limitations within this resonance. Whether it was the solitary courageous feat on Sitong Bridge or the spontaneous venting of the White Paper Movement, the resisters all faced a harsh reckoning and retaliation after the events. This precisely reminds us that if spontaneous, decentralized emotional outbursts cannot move toward long-term, organized, and rational resistance, it will be very difficult for these demands to transform into lasting regime change.

Standing on this free soil of the United States, as members of the China Democratic Party, we are not only the guardians of historical memory, but should furthermore become a bridge among resisters. We possess the freedom to speak out and the space to form political parties, which requires that we cannot merely stop at sorrowful and indignant commemorations. We must transform this resonance across time and space into tangible actions, provide experience and backing to the new generation of young resisters, and explore how to receive and sustain these sparks overseas, condensing them into a civil force that is more resilient and more institutionalized.

Thirty-seven years have passed, and the gunfire in Tiananmen Square seems to have long receded, but the spiritual legacy it left behind has been endowed with a completely new vitality in the wind and smoke of Sitong Bridge, and in every night when white paper was held up.

The torch of resistance has never been extinguished. From 1989 to today, each generation has its own Long March, but along this path leading to freedom and constitutionalism, our direction has never changed.

在1989年北京天安門事件37週年到臨之際，全球各地、各族裔、各組織用各種形式來緬懷所有那些以和平方式爭取自由、問責制度和反對腐敗的人們。記者於6月4日在華盛頓DC參與了三場紀念活動：

活動一、國會山（U.S. Capitol）——美國國會兩黨議員紀念天安門事件37週年新聞發佈會

發佈會由美國眾議院中國問題特設委員會（House Select Committee on the CCP）領銜，該委員會主席（來自密歇根州的共和黨聯邦眾議員）約翰·穆勒納爾（John Moolenaar）擔任主持，該委員會民主黨首席議員（來自伊利諾伊州的聯邦眾議員）拉賈·克里希納莫蒂（Raja Krishnamoorthi）一同出席。

列席嘉賓中有三位都是當年八九民運學生領袖之一，分別是“對話中國”（Dialogue China）智庫負責人王丹先生， “中國人權”（Human Rights in China,  HRIC）執行主任周鋒鎖先生及前美國陸軍退役隨軍牧師熊焱；其他嘉賓還有魏京生基金會執行主任黃慈萍女士；黎智英先生的女兒黎采（Claire Lai）等。

Washington, D.C. Commemorates the 37th Anniversary of June Fourth: Congressional Press Conference, Hearing, and Candlelight Vigil Held in Succession

Photojournalist: Guan Yongjie

Summary: Commemorative activities for the 37th anniversary of June Fourth were held in Washington, D.C., including a congressional press conference, a hearing on transnational repression, and a candlelight vigil. Political figures and democracy activists attended together, calling for attention to human rights, commemorating history, and opposing transnational oppression.

On the occasion of the 37th anniversary of the 1989 Beijing Tiananmen Square incident, people from various regions, ethnic groups, and organizations around the world used various forms to commemorate all those who peacefully strove for freedom, accountability, and opposed corruption. The journalist participated in three commemorative activities in Washington, D.C. on June 4:

Activity 1: U.S. Capitol — Bipartisan U.S. Members of Congress Press Conference Commemorating the 37th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Incident

The press conference was led by the U.S. House Select Committee on the CCP. The committee’s Chairman, John Moolenaar (a Republican U.S. Representative from Michigan), served as the moderator, and the committee’s Ranking Democrat, Raja Krishnamoorthi (a Democratic U.S. Representative from Illinois), attended alongside him.

Among the seated guests were three individuals who were student leaders during the 1989 Democracy Movement: Mr. Wang Dan, head of the “Dialogue China” think tank; Mr. Zhou Fengsuo, Executive Director of “Human Rights in China” (HRIC); and Xiong Yan, a retired former U.S. Army chaplain. Other guests included Ms. Huang Ciping, Executive Director of the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, and Claire Lai, the daughter of Mr. Jimmy Lai.

 

中國問題特設委員會主席約翰·穆勒納爾（John Moolenaar）表示，美國即將迎來建國250週年，自由與民主的立國精神不僅塑造了美國，也長期激勵著世界各地為自由而奮鬥的人們。而37年前的天安門事件，使天安門成為屠殺無辜自由民眾的代名詞。兩黨議員都認為，中共“站在了歷史的錯誤一邊”。

John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP, stated that as the United States is about to welcome the 250th anniversary of its founding, the founding spirit of freedom and democracy has not only shaped America but has also long inspired people fighting for freedom around the world. Meanwhile, the Tiananmen Square incident thirty-seven years ago has made “Tiananmen” synonymous with the massacre of innocent, freedom-loving citizens. Lawmakers from both parties agree that the CCP is “on the wrong side of history.”

 

八九學運領袖之一、後經香港“黃雀行動”救援到達美國，現為加州灣區律師的劉俊，近年來由於其本人和女兒在美國本土遭遇中共特工的跟蹤與跨國騷擾，成為中共跨國鎮壓的典型受害者之一，他在發佈會中現身說法並接受媒體採訪，講述了自己當年的經歷，敦促公眾銘記這場運動，並呼籲人們“不要忘記那些因當年參與民主抗爭至今仍被關押在監獄中的人們”。

Liu Jun, one of the student leaders of the 1989 Democracy Movement who later arrived in the United States via the rescue of “Operation Yellowbird” and currently serves as a lawyer in the California Bay Area, has become one of the typical victims of the CCP’s transnational repression due to the tracking and transnational harassment that he and his daughter have encountered on U.S. soil in recent years. At the press conference, he testified based on his personal experience and accepted media interviews to share his experiences from back then, urging the public to remember this movement, and calling on people “not to forget those who are still held in prisons today for participating in the democratic resistance back then.”

 

  

議員拉賈·克里希納莫蒂（Raja Krishnamoorthi）舉起天安門事件中的經典圖片“坦克人“，並說道：“今天，我們要緬懷‘坦克人’，是因為他身上體現的品質，以及在那場抗議和屠殺中，所有參與者身上體現的品質，為什麼？因為今天在中國，還有很多人遭受持續的壓迫。我指的是藏人，我指的是香港人，我指的是維吾爾人，我指的是所有異見人士，我們不會忘記他們，就像我們不會忘記‘坦克人’一樣。”

Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi held up the classic image from the Tiananmen Square incident, “Tank Man,” and said: “Today, we remember ‘Tank Man’ because of the qualities he embodied, and the qualities embodied by all those who participated in that protest and massacre. Why? Because today in China, there are still many people suffering from ongoing oppression. I am referring to the Tibetans, I am referring to the Hong Kongers, I am referring to the Uyghurs, and I am referring to all dissidents. We will not forget them, just as we will not forget ‘Tank Man’.”

 

當他把圖片反過來顯示空白一面的時候，他借此動作直指中國當下的審查制度與人權現狀（封鎖信息及掩蓋真相）。

When he turned the image over to reveal the blank side, he used this gesture to point directly at China’s current censorship and human rights situation (blocking information and covering up the truth).

 

黎智英先生的女兒黎采（Claire Lai）現身發佈會現場（右2）

分別從西雅圖、舊金山、洛杉磯、紐約等地趕來的中國民主人權聯盟成員，在現場拉起橫幅，抗議中國政府對流亡海外的異見人士的“跨國鎮壓“。

Members of the China Democracy and Human Rights Alliance, who had traveled from Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and other places, unfurled banners at the scene to protest the Chinese government’s “transnational repression” against dissidents exiled overseas.

 

魏京生基金會贈送給記者的“紀念六四大屠殺37週年“T恤。

活動二、國會議員辦公樓（Dirksen Senate Office Building）——《中華人民共和國對美國人的威脅：跨國鎮壓與州級層面的回應》（The PRC’s Threats to Americans: Transnational Repression & State-Level Responses）聽證會

此場是由美國國會及行政當局中國委員會（Congressional-Executive Commission on China，簡稱 CECC）於 2026 年 6 月 4 日下午 1:30（美東時間）在美國國會山舉行的官方聽證會。

主持人是克里斯·史密斯（Chris Smith，美國聯邦眾議員，新澤西州共和黨籍，現任 CECC 共同主席）。台上委員還有：丹·沙利文  (Dan Sullivan，現任美國聯邦參議員，同時也是 CECC 的現任主席）；詹姆斯·麥戈文 (James McGovern，美國聯邦眾議員，CECC 現任資深議員）。

Activity 2: Dirksen Senate Office Building — Hearing on “The PRC’s Threats to Americans: Transnational Repression & State-Level Responses”

This was an official hearing held by the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) at 1:30 PM (EST) on June 4, 2026, at the U.S. Capitol.

The moderator was Chris Smith (U.S. Representative, Republican from New Jersey, currently serving as the Co-Chair of the CECC). Other committee members on the panel included: Dan Sullivan (current U.S. Senator, who also serves as the current Chairman of the CECC); and James McGovern (U.S. Representative, current Ranking Member of the CECC).

 

作為此場聽證會的委員，克里斯·史密斯（Chris Smith）及丹·沙利文  (Dan Sullivan)在開場陳詞中極力譴責中共當局通過實體暴力、數碼騷擾以及恐嚇家屬等跨國壓迫工具，試圖在美利堅領土上孤立和恐嚇異見人士的行為，強調這不僅是人權問題，更是對美國國家主權的直接挑釁，並呼籲聯邦必須加強與各州地方政府的執法協作。

As members of this hearing, Chris Smith and Dan Sullivan, in their opening statements, strongly condemned the CCP authorities’ attempts to isolate and intimidate dissidents on American soil through transnational oppression tools such as physical violence, digital harassment, and the intimidation of family members. They emphasized that this is not only a human rights issue, but also a direct provocation to U.S. national sovereignty, and called on the federal government to strengthen law enforcement collaboration with state and local governments.

 詹姆斯·麥戈文 (James McGovern)眾議員作為民主黨在委員會中的首席代表，同樣在台上的主位發表了講話，他指出針對不同政見者的“長臂管轄”是無法被美國社會容忍的，他強烈呼籲國會應當加速推進兩黨聯合提出的《跨國鎮壓政策法案》（Transnational Repression Policy Act)，全面賦能美國國務院和執法部門，用更嚴厲的法律手段對那些在美國領土上跟蹤、騷擾或恐嚇居民的外國代理人進行反制。

Representative James McGovern, as the lead representative for the Democratic Party on the commission, also delivered a speech from the main seat on the panel. He pointed out that “long-arm jurisdiction” targeting individuals with different political views cannot be tolerated by American society. He strongly urged Congress to accelerate the promotion of the bipartisan “Transnational Repression Policy Act,” which would fully empower the U.S. Department of State and law enforcement agencies to use stricter legal measures to counter foreign agents who track, harass, or intimidate residents on American soil.

台下證人席分別作證：

1、斯蒂芬·J·考克斯（Stephen J. Cox），他是美國阿拉斯加州州長法律顧問，前美國聯邦檢察官。他強調美國各州政府和地方當局在應對中共長臂管轄中扮演著越來越重要的角色，因為此類地緣政治衝突已經延伸到了地方的基礎設施、新技術以及消費者保護等日常前線領域，州政府必須強化跨部門合作來保護本地居民和供應鏈安全。

2、埃利奧特·博斯塔（Eliot Bostar），美國內布拉斯加州州參議員（Nebraska State Senator）。他指出中華人民共和國的跨國鎮壓和惡意影響不僅局限於華盛頓特區，而是對美國“每一個州和每一個社區”都構成了直接威脅，他呼籲從州級立法層面採取反制措施，以防範地方商業、高校和公共官員受到中方的脅迫和滲透。

3、劉俊（Arthur Liu），太平洋法律機構負責人/律師（Owner, Inter-Pacific Law Group），八九學運領袖之一。他作為跨國鎮壓的直接受害者家屬（注：其女兒為美國花樣滑冰運動員劉美賢Alysa Liu，此前曾遭涉嫌為中國政府工作的人員跟蹤和間諜監視），劉俊律師以自身經歷作證，揭露了中方長臂管轄對在美國領土上的法律居民、異見人士及其家屬進行恐嚇、跟蹤和滋擾的惡劣手段，並呼籲聯邦與地方執法部門提供更實質性的保護。

4、郭鳳儀（Anna Kwok），香港民主委員會（HKDC）董事會董事、前任執行總監。她講述了香港活動人士在海外正面臨著嚴峻人身安全威脅與“長臂管轄”。她特別提到由於自己在海外的公開倡議，留在香港的親人（如其父親）遭到港府的針對、拘留和連帶審判懲罰。她揭露了中方利用實體攻擊、數字騷擾以及株連國內家屬等“全球脅迫工具”來迫使海外異見者噤聲的策略。

Witnesses testified from the witness stand respectively:

1. Stephen J. Cox, Legal Counsel to the Governor of Alaska and former U.S. Attorney. He emphasized that U.S. state governments and local authorities are playing an increasingly crucial role in responding to the PRC’s long-arm jurisdiction. Because such geopolitical conflicts have extended into everyday frontline areas such as local infrastructure, new technologies, and consumer protection, state governments must strengthen inter-agency cooperation to protect local residents and supply chain security.

2. Eliot Bostar, Nebraska State Senator. He pointed out that the PRC’s transnational repression and malign influence are not confined to Washington, D.C., but pose a direct threat to “every state and every community” across America. He called for countermeasures at the state legislative level to prevent local businesses, universities, and public officials from being coerced and infiltrated by the Chinese side.

3. Arthur Liu, Owner of Inter-Pacific Law Group and one of the student leaders of the 1989 Democracy Movement. As a direct victim’s family member of transnational repression (Note: His daughter is Alysa Liu, a U.S. figure skater, who was previously stalked and placed under espionage surveillance by individuals suspected of working for the Chinese government), attorney Arthur Liu testified based on his personal experience. He exposed the malicious methods used by the Chinese side’s long-arm jurisdiction to intimidate, stalk, and harass legal residents, dissidents, and their families on U.S. soil, and called for more substantive protection from federal and local law enforcement agencies.

4. Anna Kwok, Board Director and former Executive Director of the Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC). She described the severe physical security threats and “long-arm jurisdiction” that Hong Kong activists are currently facing overseas. She specifically mentioned that due to her public advocacy abroad, her relatives remaining in Hong Kong (such as her father) have been targeted, detained, and subjected to retaliatory trials and punishment by the Hong Kong government. She exposed the Chinese side’s strategy of using “global tools of coercion”—including physical attacks, digital harassment, and the collective punishment of domestic family members—to silence overseas dissidents.

  

獲邀出席此場聽證會的民運團體——中國民主人權聯盟，其主席金秀紅向委員提交了一份報告，據金主席介紹，報告中包含她及其組織成員遭遇中共跨國鎮壓的一些材料。

The China Democracy and Human Rights Alliance, a democracy group invited to attend this hearing, submitted a report to the commissioners through its Chairperson, Jin Xiuhong. According to Chairperson Jin, the report contains materials detailing the transnational repression encountered by herself and members of her organization.

 

 

活動三、共產主義受難者紀念雕像（Victims of Communism Memorial）——六四天安門大屠殺37週年燭光悼念活動

2026年6月4日傍晚，共產主義受難者紀念基金會（Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation，簡稱VOC）在華盛頓特區的共產主義受難者紀念雕像前舉行了六四天安門大屠殺37週年燭光悼念活動。

悼念活動還未開始，但民主女神雕像前已經擺放著祭奠的鮮花，還有幾幅當年大屠殺的死難者照片。

Activity 3: Victims of Communism Memorial — Candlelight Vigil for the 37th Anniversary of the June Fourth Tiananmen Square Massacre

On the evening of June 4, 2026, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) held a candlelight vigil for the 37th anniversary of the June Fourth Tiananmen Square Massacre in front of the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Before the memorial activity even began, memorial flowers and several photographs of the victims from the massacre back then had already been placed in front of the Goddess of Democracy statue.

  

VOC主席埃里克·帕特森（Dr. Eric Patterson）向香港民主人士許穎婷頒發了 “2026年異議人士人權獎”，表彰其抗爭精神。

許穎婷在發言中表示，“勇氣並不是沒有恐懼，它是在恐懼存在時選擇承擔責任。”儘管香港維園燭光被熄滅，但抗爭精神已薪火相傳，她將獎項獻給被囚禁的香港政治犯（如鄒幸彤、李卓人、黎智英等）、當年的天安門學生和過百萬為自由而遊行的香港人。

Dr. Eric Patterson, Chairman of the VOC, presented the “2026 Dissident Human Rights Award” to Hong Kong democracy activist Frances Hui, in recognition of her spirit of resistance.

In her speech, Frances Hui stated, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the choice to assume responsibility in the presence of fear.” She remarked that although the candlelight in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park has been extinguished, the spirit of resistance has been passed down. She dedicated the award to imprisoned Hong Kong political prisoners (such as Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan, and Jimmy Lai), the Tiananmen students of that year, and the over one million Hong Kong people who marched for freedom.

 

劉俊律師帶領在場參與者為六四死難者默哀。他在發言中感謝當年香港人的幫助，並呼籲中共釋放所有中國大陸和香港的政治犯。

Attorney Arthur Liu led the attendees present in observing a moment of silence for the victims of June Fourth. In his speech, he expressed his gratitude for the help of the Hong Kong people back then, and called on the CCP to release all political prisoners in mainland China and Hong Kong.

香港海外民主活動人士邵嵐（Joey Siu）作為國際特赦組織香港海外分會發言人發表了講話。她表示，維園是自由的燈塔，在過去數十年裏 ，香港曾是中國領土上唯一可以公開悼念六四的地方。這些維園的蠟燭當年不僅是為了悼念1989年在北京犧牲的六四平民與學生，也是為了香港自身的自由而點燃。而每年的六四晚會本身就是一種對“我們是誰”的身份宣示，“我們依然記得那些政權想要強行抹去和篡改的歷史真相。”由於目前香港本地已不具備講出真話的空間，海外港人和社運人士如今承擔起在國際舞台上傳遞六四火炬的責任。我們應共同展現與獨裁對抗的堅定韌性，她借由華盛頓的燭光表明，香港人、中國內地異見人士、西藏人和維吾爾人等群體，在對抗壓迫和極權主義的道路上將持續站在一起、共同抗爭。

Joey Siu, an overseas Hong Kong democracy activist, delivered a speech as a spokesperson for Amnesty International’s overseas Hong Kong chapter. She stated that Victoria Park was a beacon of freedom, and for the past several decades, Hong Kong was the only place on Chinese soil where June Fourth could be publicly commemorated. Those candles in Victoria Park back then were lit not only to mourn the civilians and students who sacrificed their lives in Beijing in 1989, but also for Hong Kong’s own freedom. Furthermore, the annual June Fourth vigil itself was a declaration of identity of “who we are,” signaling that “we still remember the historical truth that the regime attempts to forcibly erase and falsify.”

She noted that since the space to speak the truth no longer exists within Hong Kong itself, overseas Hong Kongers and social activists have now taken on the responsibility of carrying the torch of June Fourth on the international stage. We should collectively demonstrate a steadfast resilience in confronting dictatorship. Through the candlelight in Washington, she showed that groups such as Hong Kongers, mainland Chinese dissidents, Tibetans, and Uyghurs will continue to stand together and fight concurrently on the path of resisting oppression and totalitarianism

陶智（Piero Tozzi），曾長期擔任美國國會及行政當局中國委員會（CECC）的Chief of Staff與高級法律顧問，現任中國政策高級主任（Senior Director for China Policy）是美政府內部最積極推動遏制（Transnational Repression）的官員之一，他在發言中表示，中共禁絕紀念六四，“正如《1984》作家George Orwell所說：“誰控制了過去，誰就控制了未來；誰控制了現在，誰就控制了過去。”

Piero Tozzi, who long served as the Chief of Staff and Senior Legal Counsel for the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) and currently serves as the Senior Director for China Policy, is one of the most active officials within the U.S. government promoting the countering of transnational repression. In his speech, he stated that the CCP bans the commemoration of June Fourth, adding: “Just as George Orwell, the author of 1984, wrote: ‘Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'”

 

楊傑凱（Jan Jekielek，《英文大紀元》編輯），他批評對華綏靖政策，控訴中共活摘器官暴行，呼籲各界與仍在抗爭的信仰人士及維吾爾人、藏人等站在一起。

Jan Jekielek, an editor for The Epoch Times, criticized the appeasement policy toward China and denounced the atrocities of the CCP’s forced organ harvesting. He called on all sectors of society to stand together with the people of faith, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and others who are still fighting.

 

新疆維吾爾人權活動人士伊利夏提（Ilshat Hassan Kokbore）表示，對中共將迫害常態化，我們必須反對，對北京天安門屠殺的紀念，就是拒絕遺忘，因為遺忘會助長更多的暴行。

Ilshat Hassan Kokbore, a Uyghur human rights activist from Xinjiang, stated that we must oppose the CCP’s normalization of persecution. He remarked that commemorating the Beijing Tiananmen Square Massacre is a refusal to forget, because forgetting enables further atrocities.

 

西藏代表Tsultrim Gyatso在發言中表示，中共對西藏的鎮壓，至今仍在發生。

Tsultrim Gyatso, a representative of Tibet, stated in his speech that the CCP’s repression of Tibet is still ongoing today.

 

魏京生基金會（Wei Jingsheng Foundation）執行主任黃慈萍女士發言，她強調今天大家齊聚在雕像下，“是為了重燃希望，推翻中共”。她指出，現在可以看到中國越來越多的普通民眾、甚至軍隊裡的人都已經逐漸醒悟過來，她樂觀地展望，“中國的希望就在前方，民主自由的曙光就在我們面前”。

Ms. Ciping Huang, Executive Director of the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, delivered a speech. She emphasized that everyone gathering under the statue today “is to reignite hope and overthrow the CCP.” She pointed out that it is now visible that more and more ordinary people in China, and even individuals within the military, have gradually awakened. She offered an optimistic outlook, stating, “China’s hope lies just ahead, and the dawn of democracy and freedom is right before us.”

 

參與悼念活動的民眾及社會各界人士

願點點燭光化身黑夜的星辰，在每個人的心中延續，永不熄滅。

May each spark of candlelight transform into a star in the dark night, continuing in everyone’s heart, never to be extinguished.

The 37th Anniversary Commemoration of June Fourth Held in Munich Attendees Call for Remembering History and Safeguarding Freedom and Human Rights

Author: Yang Xiaojie

[MUNICH] On June 4, 2026, on the occasion of the 37th anniversary of the “June Fourth Incident,” a commemoration event jointly organized by the Guanghua Society and the China Democracy Party International Alliance (CDP-IAI) was held in front of the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Munich. More than twenty people, including pro-democracy activists from various parts of Germany, eyewitnesses of the June Fourth Incident, and overseas Chinese who care about China’s democracy and human rights causes, attended the event. Together, they mourned the victims of June Fourth, reflected on the truth of history, and called on the international community to maintain continuous attention to China’s human rights situation and democratic development.

The event was presided over by Zhang Guanyuan, the president of the Guanghua Society. In his opening remarks, Zhang Guanyuan stated that the June Fourth Incident, which occurred thirty-seven years ago, is an unavoidable and important chapter in modern Chinese history. Although the CCP authorities have long attempted to downplay or even erase this piece of history through censorship, blockades, and propaganda, the truth will not vanish due to oblivion, nor will memories end because of suppression. Commemorating June Fourth is not only to mourn the deceased, but also to defend historical truth and safeguard the values of freedom, human rights, and democracy.

The atmosphere at the event venue was solemn and dignified. Holding banners and slogans, attendees held a memorial ceremony in front of the Consulate General, expressing their remembrance of the June Fourth victims and their concern for China’s democratization process through speeches and presentations.

As an eyewitness of the June Fourth Incident, Li Dongcheng choked up several times during his speech. Moving to tears, he recalled the historical scenes he personally experienced in 1989 and denounced the CCP authorities’ use of military force to crack down on peacefully petitioning students and citizens. He expressed that June Fourth not only changed the destinies of countless people but also became an unhealing wound in the hearts of many Chinese people. Over the past thirty-seven years, the official cover-up of historical truth and the continuous suppression of the families of the victims have further highlighted the significant importance of persisting in commemoration and pursuing the truth.

Subsequently, pro-democracy activists including Tang Guogang, Liao Shuishui, Zhang Na, Zhao Shuya, Li Taohong, Yang Qun, Wang Xingxing, and Li Kang delivered their remarks respectively. They reviewed the profound impact of the June Fourth Incident on Chinese society from different perspectives, and exchanged and discussed topics surrounding freedom of speech, the protection of human rights, the development of civil society, and the overseas Chinese democracy movement. The speakers generally agreed that June Fourth is not only a historical memory, but also a mirror reflecting reality, reminding people of the continuous importance of focusing on the values of freedom and human rights.

During the event, Yang Xiaojie, a former media professional, photographer, and pro-democracy activist, delivered a keynote speech titled “June Fourth is Not History; June Fourth is Still Happening.” He stated that for thirty-seven years, the CCP authorities have continuously attempted to erase the public memory of June Fourth through censorship and information blockades; however, history will not be forgotten, and the truth will eventually be passed down. He pointed out that the demands raised by students in 1989, such as anti-corruption, freedom of the press, and political reform, still carry important practical significance today. Yang Xiaojie stated in his speech: “We have not forgotten, and we will never forget. June Fourth is not history; June Fourth is still happening.” He called on people to remember history, persist in the pursuit of freedom and democracy, and paid tribute to all those who have paid a price for China’s democratic cause.

At the end of the event, the attendees observed a moment of silence together for the victims of June Fourth, and expressed their expectations for China’s future realization of freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

《全球覺醒》第七十五期自由之鐘 時時敲響 全球覺醒 民主聯盟 消滅獨裁 推翻暴政活動主題：六月反送中紀念：東方之珠全面淪陷 極權擴張威脅自由世界今年六月，我們迎來了香港「反送中」運動爆發七週年的悲壯節點。七年前的本週，數以百萬計的香港市民義無反顧地湧上街頭，為了捍衛法治與自由，展開了人類歷史上最波瀾壯闊的反抗運動。然而，在中共法西斯政權的強權鎮壓下，曾經閃耀的東方之珠如今已徹底淪陷。從強迫「國安法」到今年「二十三條」惡法強行落地，中共公然撕毀《中英聯合聲明》等國際條約，將曾經擁有司法獨立的自由之都，變成了一座充斥著文字獄與強權暴政的法西斯牢籠。香港的全面淪陷，不只是香港人的悲劇，更是極權主義對整個自由世界發出的危險訊號。這昭示了獨裁政權的政治信用徹底破產，更揭露了極權同盟向全球擴張、吞噬人類文明的狂妄野心。中共用鐵腕扼殺香港的自由，其最終目的是要將這種野蠻的奴役模式推向台海，推向整個現代文明世界。面對這種制度性的瘋狂與威脅，國際社會與海外覺醒的力量絕不能退縮，更不能對獨裁者抱持任何不切實際的幻想。中國不等於中共，中國人拒絕為獨裁者的瘋狂買單，更不願看到自由的火種被暴政吞噬。今天我們站在這裡，就是要用最堅定的聲音向極權宣戰：我們誓與香港人民、與全球自由世界並肩作戰，堅決反擊法西斯極權的野蠻擴張，直至將真正的民主與自由帶回這片土地！我們的口號：毋忘六月反送中！香港自由必勝！拒絕極權擴張！捍衛普世價值！中國不等於中共！自由屬於人民！2026年6月14日（星期日）3:30PM (下午)地點：中共駐洛杉磯總領館地址：443 Shatto Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90020活動召集人：廖军/劉廣賢活動規劃：孫曄/黃思博活動主持：易勇組織者：胡月明4806536918/陳柏全 6267258957羅旭6265656930 /王曉華3239499675朱明昌6264927033/李享6267862770活動義工：于海龍 /于越/薛涛 /陳胜 /赵书广攝影：Ji Luo /劉樂園主辦單位：中國民主黨聯合總部美西黨部中國民主黨聯合總部美南黨部自由鐘民主基金會

在中国民主党今天开展的64抗暴37周年法拉盛集会游行活动中，我作为中国民主党主席助理、党中层骨干及优秀青年代表和活动的副总指挥全程参与了活动，并上台发言。以下是我全程参与活动的一点感想。（节选于发言稿）

今天，我们站在这片自由包容的土地上，共同追责中共暴政和纪念8964当年为自由民主献出生命的人们，我百感交集。 同时我今天作为现场活动的副总指挥，看着台下党员义工们一起努力的成果——整齐肃穆的队伍和在风中猎猎作响的党旗，我的内心既沉重，又充满了难以言喻的自豪。

首先，感谢大家的时间，更感谢其中的一些前辈和老面孔一如既往到场对六四活动的支持，你们数十年如一日对六四真相的坚守，如今，在场就是最好的证明。 在我看来这种多年毫不懈怠并以此为己任的坚守就是六四精神的具象之一。这也是我今天的演讲题目——IT’S MY DUTY! （这是我的职责！）

不知大家是否记得一个片段：37年前，在8964中共血洗天安门前的几小时，一个骑着自行车兴冲冲赶往广场的年轻人，在面对镜头时回答老外记者的提问，那就是明知军队已进场，他为什么还要去游行？ 那个年轻人对着镜头自豪的喊出一句响彻至今的话： “It is my duty”——这是我的职责！

是的，这简单的四个字，就是我所理解的八九精神最纯粹的底色。

它包含了那个年代 最优秀的年轻人 公民意志的觉醒，也包含了北京市民对学运的正义支援和5月20对中共暴力大阻截的责任担当，这是那一代中国人在面对专制转型时，集体迸发出的最高尚的利他主义和公民精神雏形。

那是一个美好的时代，我们的青年以文明、热血和普世价值素养的形象 在与政府的对抗中以“国家主人”的纠错姿态践行了刘晓波先生“我没有敌人”的“和平理性非暴力抗争原则”。他们以形而上的精神扛争：绝食静坐、拉起条幅、和竖起的自由女神像等方式 表达对自由民主的诉求……面对这群手无寸铁的莘莘学子以文化人的体面表达政治主张时，中共管这叫“暴徒”？ 他们如此深爱这片土地，关心中国的未来和960万平方公里一草以木所有生灵的利益。。。。他们用豆蔻年华的热血做出了对国家、对历史、对未来做最朴素也最坚定的承诺—— It is my duty!

那也是一个悲怆的年代，64血洗后，长安街上那个迎向钢铁巨兽的白衣孤影，定格成了20世纪人类反抗绝对暴政的终极图腾。它的背后，是以我们民族最优秀、最清醒的一代青年被彻底血洗为代价的。那场屠杀不仅绞杀了肉体，更斩断了文明的脊梁——它用最残酷的方式，为当代中国走向迷乱、盲从与软弱的国民性断层，写下了一个时代的血色注解。

所以不要再说中国人不勇敢，因为三十七年前的那场春夏之交，早已给出了答案； 不要再跟风所谓的“民族劣根论”，因为当年的天安门广场，早已洗刷了耻辱； 更不要说中国不配拥有民主，因为八九六四那流淌的鲜血，就是最神圣的入场券！ 回望历史，纵然是严谨如德国人民，也曾举国陷入纳粹的疯狂；聪慧如犹太民族，也曾在极权的铁蹄下经历血洗。面对绝对的暴政，任何民族都曾有过屈服与黑暗。 但唯有中国人民，在1989年的北京用血肉之躯筑成了人类历史上反抗绝对暴政的丰碑，这一场血染的风采，不是奴隶的顺从，而是公民的诞生！

但是，在历史巨大的伤痕中，三十七年过去了，中共政权依然在延续，暴政暗影重重。在践行公民职责的道路上，当年的学运领袖也就是我们中国民主党主席——王军涛先生，从哪里结束从哪里开始，他将一生致力于延续六四的抗争至今。从建党第一天到距今30多年；从第一个党员到至今逾1000人的海外反共组织；从夜晚的星空到晨起的破晓，从纽约高温酷暑到暴雪封路，从第一场时代广场茉莉花街头抗议到第793场，从年富力强的青年到满头白发的老人，王军涛主席数十年对六四的执念，从不抛弃从不放弃。正如他曾在公开演讲说过，他不能让六四英烈死不瞑目、他必须给他最亲密的朋友们一个交代。他点起了民主接力的火把，他说那是他的职责！

但回望坚持抗争这30多年的历程，不仅有火光，更有外界刀子般的质疑、冷眼与辱骂。 有人站在功利主义的高处冷嘲热讽：“三十七年了，年年纪念，有什么用？中共那么强大，你们现在又推翻不了它，简直是不自量力！”。 有人用阴暗的奴化思维肆意构陷：“你们不过是在海外作秀、拿政庇的投机分子！” 你们活动给不给钱？！甚至连有些我们拼命想要去唤醒的同胞，也会用麻木和怀疑的眼神看着我们，嫌我们“多管闲事”。

战友们，面对这些冷水与恶言，我们怎么可能不委屈？！ 我们也是肉身凡胎，在异国他乡要养家糊口、要陪伴家人、由生活的艰辛和疲惫。我们冒着国内亲人被骚扰的风险站在这里，换来的却是同胞的冷眼。这种委屈，常常化作深夜里难以言说的孤独。

但是，今天作为中国民主党人的一分子，我要在这里字字千钧地回答世界：我们民主党人上到王军涛主席，下到每一个参与活动建设普通党员，全部都是义工！我们自发自愿的对抗中共暴政，缅怀六四英烈，关心中国的未来，这是我们民主党人的职责，IT IS OUR DUTY！

中国民主党人所做的每一次努力，无论是发一个小小的推特，转发一个撕开中共画皮的新闻、在长城防火墙上戳洞，哪怕只是一米阳光向黑暗中传射而过，它对于黑暗中绝望的人、坚守的人、政治犯、维权人士、。。。等等人而言，它就是自由和民主的火种， 中国民主党的每一次活动、每一次祭奠、每一次启蒙、每一次记录，都是在中共的“东德”极权围墙上日复一日、滴水穿石、清脆而坚定地敲击！只要敲击不停，裂缝就会蔓延；只要裂缝蔓延，那座看似不可战胜的高墙，终会在某一个历史的瞬间，轰然倒塌！

现在，我想对所有在场人士，尤其是中国民主党那些默默无私奉献的义工党员们说， 三十七年后的今天，面对外界的冷嘲热讽，我们要坚定自己的信念，那就是世界万般选择，我们选择了负责，我们甘愿为了自身价值观抗起六四抗争的大旗，为中国的未来而奋斗。请你们擦干眼泪、拍拍身上的尘土，继续在风雨中走自己不会后悔的路。

古人云，家国天下。请像对父母子女扛起我们的职责那样，扛起驱除中共救赎中国的责任吧。

“咽下所有的委屈，击碎所有的质疑，在极权的高墙上敲击到底，替国内无法发声的中国同胞呐喊，坚守到墙倒屋塌的那一天——It is our duty!”（这是我们共同的职责！） 谢谢大家！

Reflections on the 37th Anniversary of the China Democracy Party’s June 4th Anti-Tyranny Commemoration

Author: Hou Gaiying

During the Flushing rally and march organized by the China Democracy Party today to commemorate the 37th anniversary of the June 4th anti-tyranny resistance, I participated fully in the entire event as the Assistant to the Chairman of the China Democracy Party, a mid-level party backbone, an outstanding youth representative, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the event, and I also took the stage to deliver a speech. The following are a few of my reflections from fully participating in the event. (Excerpted from the speech draft)

Today, as we stand on this land of freedom and tolerance to jointly hold the Chinese Communist Party’s tyranny accountable and to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives for freedom and democracy during June 4th, 1989, I am filled with mixed emotions. At the same time, serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of today’s field activities and looking at the results of the collective efforts of our party members and volunteers below the stage—the orderly and solemn procession and the party flags snapping loudly in the wind—my heart feels heavy, yet filled with an unspeakable sense of pride.

First of all, thank you all for your time, and I am especially grateful to some of the predecessors and familiar faces who have consistently shown up to support the June 4th activities. Your steadfast adherence to the truth of June 4th, year after year and decade after decade, is best proven by your presence here today. In my view, this kind of perseverance, which has never slackened over many years and is taken as one’s own responsibility, is one of the concrete manifestations of the June 4th spirit. This is also the title of my speech today—IT’S MY DUTY!

I wonder if everyone still remembers a certain footage: 37 years ago, just a few hours before the Chinese Communist Party bloodily cracked down on Tiananmen Square on June 4th, 1989, a young man riding a bicycle was excitedly rushing toward the square. When facing the camera, he answered a foreign reporter’s question about why he was still going to the demonstration when he clearly knew the military had already entered. That young man proudly shouted a sentence into the camera that resonates to this day: “It is my duty.”

Yes, these four simple words represent the most pure, underlying color of the 1989 spirit as I understand it.

It encapsulated the awakening of civic will among the most outstanding young people of that era. It also contained the Beijing citizens’ righteous support for the student movement and their sense of responsibility during the massive interception against the Communist Party’s violence on May 20th. This was the prototype of the most noble altruism and civic spirit that erupted collectively from that generation of Chinese people when facing autocratic transition.

That was a beautiful era, when our youth, with their image of civility, passion, and literacy in universal values, practiced Mr. Liu Xiaobo’s “peaceful, rational, and non-violent resistance principle” of “I have no enemies” through a corrective posture as “masters of the nation” in their confrontation with the government. They resisted with a metaphysical spirit: using methods such as hunger strikes, sit-ins, raising banners, and the erected Goddess of Democracy to express their demands for freedom and democracy… Facing this group of unarmed, diligent students who expressed their political propositions with the decency of intellectuals, the Chinese Communist Party called them “thugs”? They loved this land so deeply, caring for the future of China and the interests of every living creature, every blade of grass, and every tree across the 9.6 million square kilometers… With the lifeblood of their youth, they made the most simple yet resolute commitment to the country, to history, and to the future—It is my duty!

That was also a tragic era. After the June 4th bloodbath, that solitary shadow in white on Chang’an Avenue confronting the steel behemoth became frozen in time as the ultimate totem of humanity’s resistance against absolute tyranny in the 20th century. Behind it lay the cost of the complete slaughter of our nation’s most outstanding and clear-headed generation of youth. That massacre not only strangled physical bodies but also severed the backbone of civilization—in the most brutal way, it wrote a bloody commentary of an era for contemporary China’s descent into a generational fault line of confusion, blind conformity, and weakness in the national character.

Therefore, do not say anymore that the Chinese people are not brave, because that turn of spring and summer thirty-seven years ago had already given the answer; do not follow the trend of the so-called “theory of inherent national flaws” anymore, because Tiananmen Square back then had already washed away the shame; and furthermore, do not say that China does not deserve to have democracy, because the blood that flowed during June 4th, 1989, is the most sacred ticket of admission! Looking back at history, even a people as rigorous as the Germans once plunged as an entire nation into Nazi madness; a nation as intelligent as the Jewish people also experienced a bloodbath under the iron heel of totalitarianism. In the face of absolute tyranny, every nation has had its moments of submission and darkness. Yet it was the Chinese people alone who, in the Beijing of 1989, used their bodies of flesh and blood to build a monument of humanity’s resistance against absolute tyranny in human history. This blood-stained elegance was not the obedience of slaves, but the birth of citizens!

However, amidst the immense scars of history, thirty-seven years have passed, the Chinese Communist Party regime still continues, and the shadows of tyranny remain heavy. On the path of practicing civic duty, the student movement leader of that year—who is now the Chairman of our China Democracy Party, Mr. Wang Juntao—started from where it ended, dedicating his entire life to continuing the June 4th struggle to this day. From the first day of founding the party to more than 30 years later; from the very first party member to an overseas anti-communist organization of over 1,000 people today; from the night starry sky to the break of dawn, from the scorching summer heat of New York to snowstorms blocking the roads, from the first Jasmine street protest in Times Square to the 793rd, from a young man in his prime to an old man with a head full of white hair, Chairman Wang Juntao’s decades-long obsession with June 4th has never forsaken, never given up. Just as he once said in a public speech, he cannot allow the heroic martyrs of June 4th to die with their eyes open, and he must give an accounting to his closest friends. He lit the torch of the democracy relay, and he said that it was his duty!

But looking back at this journey of persisting in resistance for over 30 years, there has been not only the light of fire, but also sharp, knife-like doubts, cold stares, and verbal abuse from the outside world. Some people, standing on the utilitarian high ground, mock and sneer: “It’s been thirty-seven years, and you commemorate it every year—what’s the use? The Chinese Communist Party is so powerful, and you can’t overthrow it right now anyway; you are simply overestimating your own strength!” Some people, using a dark and enslaved mindset, wantonly frame and slander us: “You are just opportunistic elements putting on a show overseas to get political asylum! Do you get paid for your activities?!” Even some of our fellow compatriots, whom we are desperately trying to awaken, look at us with numb and suspicious eyes, resentful of us for “poking our noses into other people’s business.”

Comrades-in-arms, facing this cold water and these malicious words, how could we not feel wronged?! We are also made of ordinary flesh and blood; in a foreign land, we have to support our families, accompany our loved ones, and endure the hardships and exhaustion of daily life. We stand here at the risk of our relatives back home being harassed, yet what we receive in return are the cold stares of our compatriots. This sense of grievance often turns into an unspeakable loneliness in the dead of night.

However, today, as a member of the China Democracy Party, I want to answer the world here with words of monumental weight: from Chairman Wang Juntao down to every ordinary party member participating in building these activities, all of us in the Democracy Party are volunteers! We spontaneously and voluntarily resist the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party, cherish the memory of the heroic martyrs of June 4th, and care about the future of China. This is our duty as members of the Democracy Party—IT IS OUR DUTY!

Every single effort made by the Chinese Democracy Party—whether it is posting a tiny tweet, forwarding a piece of news that tears away the Chinese Communist Party’s deceptive mask, or poking a hole in the Great Firewall, even if it is just a single meter of sunlight piercing through into the darkness—for those who are in despair in the dark, those who are holding fast, political prisoners, rights defense activists, and many others, it is the spark of freedom and democracy. Every activity, every memorial service, every enlightenment, and every record by the China Democracy Party is like a daily, water-dripping-to-pierce-stone, crisp yet firm strike upon the totalitarian wall of the Chinese Communist Party’s “East Germany”! As long as the striking does not stop, the cracks will spread; as long as the cracks spread, that seemingly invincible high wall will, at a certain historical moment, come crashing down!

Now, I want to say to everyone present, especially to those volunteers and party members of the China Democracy Party who dedicate themselves silently and selflessly: today, thirty-seven years later, in the face of external mockery and cynicism, we must stand firm in our convictions—that out of all the countless choices in the world, we have chosen responsibility, and we are willing to raise high the banner of the June 4th struggle for our own values and fight for the future of China. Please wipe away your tears, dust yourselves off, and continue to walk your unregrettable path amidst the wind and rain.

As the ancients said: family, nation, and the world. Please shoulder the responsibility of expelling the Chinese Communist Party and redeeming China, just as you shoulder your duties toward your parents and children.

“Swallow all grievances, shatter all doubts, strike the totalitarian high wall to the very end, cry out on behalf of our Chinese compatriots at home who cannot speak, and hold fast until the day the wall falls and the house collapses—It is our duty!” Thank you, everyone!

六月的洛杉矶阳光明亮，却无法冲淡人们对那段历史的记忆。2026年6月4日下午，由中国民主党、“六·四”纪念馆、洛杉矶中国民主平台、中国民主人权联盟、加州自由雕塑公园、公民抵抗协会、中国社会民主党、香港自由民主党以及《皇帝除三害》电影工作组等团体联合举办的“勿忘‘六·四’·星火不灭——‘六·四’大屠杀三十七周年纪念活动”在加州艾尔蒙地（El Monte）“六·四”纪念馆举行。三十七年前，北京街头发生的那场震惊世界的历史事件，至今仍牵动着无数人的记忆。三十七年后，不同城市、不同背景的人们汇聚而来，共同缅怀逝者，追思历史，守护真相。下午两点半，纪念活动在庄严肃穆的气氛中开始。纪念馆内陈列着大量与1989年民主运动相关的历史资料、图片和实物。对于许多第一次来到这里的年轻人而言，这些展品不仅是历史的见证，更是一堂生动而深刻的历史课。泛黄的照片记录着那个年代年轻人的理想与热情，保存下来的文献则默默诉说着那段改变无数人命运的岁月。活动开始后，全体与会者起立默哀，向在1989年民主运动中失去生命的人们致以最深切的哀思。随后，现场合唱《历史的伤口》。歌声缓缓响起，许多参与者轻声跟唱。对于经历过那个年代的人来说，这不仅是一首歌曲，更是一段无法忘却的人生记忆；对于年轻一代而言，这歌声则成为连接历史与现实的一座桥梁。在宣读《天安门母亲宣言》环节中，现场气氛格外凝重。几十年来，那些失去亲人的家庭始终没有停止对真相与公义的追寻。岁月流逝，但母亲对孩子的思念从未改变。宣言中的每一个字句，都让人感受到历史留下的伤痛与坚持。

（图二：“六·四”纪念主题壁画前，与会人士共同高唱歌曲并发表演讲）

活动当天还举行了“六·四”纪念主题壁画揭幕仪式，成为现场另一项极具象征意义的重要环节。在众人的见证下，一幅大型纪念壁画正式向公众展示。壁画以鲜明而强烈的视觉语言呈现出两种不同的世界：一侧是蓝天之下象征自由与希望的现代城市景象，另一侧则以深沉厚重的红色调展现历史的记忆与伤痕。两种色彩形成鲜明对照，寓意着人们对自由、人权与民主价值的向往，也表达了对历史真相的坚守与追寻。随着壁画揭幕，现场响起热烈掌声。随后，多位嘉宾站在壁画前发表讲话，与会者共同高唱纪念歌曲，表达对历史的铭记与对未来的期许。

（图三：“六·四”纪念主题壁画正式亮相，成为纪念馆新的历史地标）壁画作者在现场介绍创作理念时表示，希望通过艺术形式记录历史、传递记忆，让更多年轻人能够了解那段历史，思考自由、人权与公民责任的意义。不少参观者在壁画前驻足观看、拍照留念。对于“六·四”纪念馆而言，这不仅是一件艺术作品，更是一座向公众开放的历史记忆坐标。它提醒着每一位来到这里的人：历史不应被遗忘，真相值得被铭记。活动中的“坦克人”行为艺术重现，成为现场最具震撼力的环节之一。当那熟悉的历史画面再次呈现在人们面前时，许多人举起手机记录，也有人静静凝视。三十七年前，一名普通公民孤身站在坦克车队前方，用自己的身体阻挡钢铁洪流。世界至今不知道他的姓名，但他的身影早已成为二十世纪最具代表性的象征之一。勇气并不总是轰轰烈烈。有时，它只是一个普通人在关键时刻做出的选择。献花仪式上，与会者依次走向纪念区域，献上鲜花，表达对逝者的追思。一束束鲜花静静摆放在纪念碑前，也寄托着人们对历史真相与人类尊严的敬畏。现场许多人神情肃穆，有人低头默祷，有人驻足沉思。在鲜花与纪念标语之间，人们以最朴素的方式表达着对生命的敬重与缅怀。在隨後舉行的演講環節中，多位嘉賓圍繞歷史記憶、公民社會、人權價值以及華人社區的責任等議題發表講話。發言者們一致認為，無論時代如何變化，保存歷史記憶、尊重生命價值、維護人的尊嚴始終具有重要意義。

活动现场，不仅有1989年事件的亲历者，也有许多年轻面孔。他们或许没有经历那个年代，但通过纪念馆的展览、现场的讲述以及一代代人的传承，开始认识那段历史，理解记忆的重要意义。历史或许会随着时间渐渐远去，但只要还有人愿意讲述、愿意倾听、愿意记录，记忆便不会消失。纪念的意义不仅在于回望过去，更在于提醒未来。离开纪念馆时，人们陆续散去，但那些关于勇气、良知与责任的话题，仍在人们心中回响。三十七年后的今天，人们依然相信：记忆可以穿越时间；真相值得守护；而追求自由、民主与人权的精神，也将在一代又一代人的传承中继续前行。

“Never Forget ‘June Fourth,’ the Spark Will Never Be Extinguished”

The June sunlight in Los Angeles is bright, yet it cannot dilute people’s memory of that period of history.

On the afternoon of June 4, 2026, the commemorative event titled “Never Forget ‘June Fourth,’ the Spark Will Never Be Extinguished — Commemoration of the 37th Anniversary of the ‘June Fourth’ Massacre” was jointly organized by multiple groups, including the China Democracy Party, the “June Fourth” Memorial Museum, the Los Angeles China Democratic Platform, the China Democracy and Human Rights Alliance, the California Freedom Sculpture Park, the Citizens Resistance Association, the China Social Democratic Party, the Hong Kong Freedom and Democracy Party, and the film production team of “The Emperor Eliminates the Three Harms.” The event was held at the “June Fourth” Memorial Museum in El Monte, California.

Thirty-seven years ago, a historical event that shocked the world took place on the streets of Beijing. To this day, it continues to stir the memories of countless people. Thirty-seven years later, people from different cities and diverse backgrounds gathered together to commemorate the deceased, reflect on history, and safeguard the truth.

At 2:30 p.m., the memorial event began in a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Inside the memorial museum are extensive historical materials, photographs, and physical artifacts related to the 1989 pro-democracy movement. For many young people visiting for the first time, these exhibits are not only witnesses to history but also a vivid and profound history lesson. The yellowed photographs record the ideals and passion of the youth of that era, while the preserved documents silently testify to a period that changed the fate of countless individuals.

After the event began, all attendees stood for a moment of silence, expressing their deepest condolences to those who lost their lives during the 1989 pro-democracy movement.

This was followed by a group performance of “The Wound of History.” As the song slowly began, many participants softly joined in. For those who lived through that era, it is not merely a song but an indelible memory of life; for the younger generation, it becomes a bridge connecting history and the present.

During the reading of the “Tiananmen Mothers’ Declaration,” the atmosphere became especially solemn. For decades, the families who lost their loved ones have never stopped seeking truth and justice. Time has passed, but a mother’s longing for her child has never changed. Every line of the declaration conveys the pain and perseverance left behind by history.

(Image 2: In front of the “June Fourth” commemorative mural, attendees collectively sing songs and deliver speeches)

On the day of the event, a “June Fourth” commemorative mural unveiling ceremony was also held, becoming another highly symbolic and important segment of the gathering.

Under the witness of those present, a large commemorative mural was officially unveiled to the public. The mural employs a vivid and powerful visual language to depict two contrasting worlds: on one side, a modern cityscape under a blue sky symbolizing freedom and hope; on the other, a deep and heavy red-toned composition representing historical memory and wounds. The stark contrast between the two color schemes serves as a metaphor for people’s aspiration for freedom, human rights, and democratic values, while also expressing a commitment to safeguarding and pursuing historical truth.

As the mural was unveiled, warm applause broke out on site. Subsequently, several guests delivered speeches in front of the mural. Participants collectively sang commemorative songs, expressing remembrance of history and expectations for the future.

When introducing his creative concept on site, the mural’s artist stated that he hopes to use artistic expression to record history and transmit memory, enabling more young people to understand that period of history and reflect on the meaning of freedom, human rights, and civic responsibility.

Many visitors paused in front of the mural to observe it and take commemorative photos. For the “June Fourth” Memorial Museum, this is not merely an artwork, but also a publicly accessible landmark of historical memory. It serves as a reminder to everyone who comes here: history must not be forgotten, and truth deserves to be remembered.

A reenactment of the “Tank Man” performance art became one of the most visually and emotionally striking segments of the event.

When that familiar historical image was once again presented before the audience, many people raised their phones to record it, while others stood in silent contemplation. Thirty-seven years ago, an ordinary citizen stood alone in front of a column of tanks, using his body to block the steel convoy. The world still does not know his name, yet his figure has become one of the most representative symbols of the twentieth century.

Courage is not always grand or dramatic.

Sometimes, it is simply a choice made by an ordinary person at a critical moment.

During the flower-laying ceremony, participants proceeded one by one to the memorial area to lay flowers, expressing their remembrance of the deceased.

Bouquets of flowers lay quietly in front of the memorial monument, carrying people’s reverence for historical truth and human dignity. Many participants wore solemn expressions; some bowed their heads in silent prayer, others stood in reflective stillness. Amid the flowers and commemorative slogans, people expressed remembrance and respect for life in the simplest manner.

In the subsequent speech segment, several guests delivered remarks on themes including historical memory, civil society, human rights values, and the responsibilities of the Chinese diaspora community. The speakers unanimously held that, regardless of how times may change, preserving historical memory, respecting the value of life, and upholding human dignity remain of enduring importance.

At the event site, there were not only eyewitnesses to the 1989 incident, but also many young faces. They may not have experienced that era, but through the memorial museum’s exhibition, on-site narratives, and the transmission across generations, they have begun to learn about that history and understand the importance of memory.

History may gradually fade away with time, but as long as there are still people willing to tell, willing to listen, and willing to record, memory will not disappear.

The significance of commemoration lies not only in looking back at the past, but also in reminding the future.

When leaving the memorial museum, people dispersed one after another, but the discussions about courage, conscience, and responsibility continued to resonate in their hearts.

Thirty-seven years later, people still believe today:

Memory can transcend time;

Truth deserves to be safeguarded;

And the spirit of pursuing freedom, democracy, and human rights will continue to move forward through the inheritance of generation after generation.

Never forget “June Fourth,” the spark will never be extinguished!
