June 4th in Victoria Park

Many people say we should move on, either forget about June 4^th totally, or put it out of our minds and wait for history to draw the conclusion. I cannot. I still feel strongly about the injustice and the crimes committed 17 years ago. I want to do something to remind myself that I want this to be resolved, as soon as possible.

10s of thousands of people in Hong Kong still feel the same way. Hong Kong is the only place in China where people can openly voice their true feelings about June 4^th. This year I brought along my eldest daughter, who have just finished her HK School Certificate Examinations. She is going to be 17 soon, having been born in late 1989, just before the Berlin Wall came down. Her mother and I had taken her with us, while still in her mother’s womb, to protests in front of the Chinese embassy in Ottawa, Canada. So in a way, she is a child of June 4^th.

We will continue to remember June 4^th in whatever way we can. Attached is a picture of some of the candles in Victoria Park in the evening of June 4^th, 2006. Hopefully, some day soon, we can see the matter properly resolved.
