This annual event in Hong kong’s Victoria Park is way beyond explanation in its 23 rd year!
If you need it explained, chances are you are from Mainland China where the Communist Ministry of Propaganda has been blacking out all images of Tank man online!
If that is the case, fear not, there are 800milliion like you in Southern China who found a way to celebrate with Hong kong!
You are ALL welcomed to our Annual Candlelight Vigil. This year 2012, it was huge! Come and see the photos ! Celebrate Creative Free speech in Hong kong! Lets hear it for Hope and Freedom! Hong kong Welcomes your Creative FREE SPEECH!!

6.4 Commemoration Event takes place in:
New York Washington DC Boston Los Angeles San Francisco
Vancouver Calgary Toronto Germany France Netherland Australia Japan Taiwan Shandong Guizhou Fujian Hong Kong
What does this tell you? We never “F O R G E T”!!
Then at Free Liu Xiaobo’s, PEN got news that Beijing had banned all journalists AND beaten up a group of people trying to host a peaceful rememberance event at Tiananmen!
In the meantime, of course different lobbyist got ready to Support Free LIu Xiaobo in Victoria Park, in Hong kong! What do you think we are in Hong Kong? Uncivilised Barbarians? Of course not! We celebrate the 1st Nobel Peace Laureate of Chinese Descent and hope he will get out of his 11 yrs of prisons imposed on him by the Beijing Communist government very very soon! XO

Let Us never EVER forget why we had to do this in Hong kong! Because each year, the Communist Beijing Government refused to accept responsibility and denies the Tiananmen Student Massacre which occurred on the 4th June 1989 where they used Tanks to kill their own people! This is what to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) what it means to be “By the people, for the people!”
Let US NEVER EVER Let them use the GREAT Firewall of China to Deny what Tank Man did all those years ago!!!!!!! WE ARE ALL TANK MAN!!!!!!
