Remembering Tiananmen

Hundreds of people gathered in San Ma Lou for a vigil to remember the victims of Tiananmen, including young people who had never heard of the massacre which took place 27 years ago. Macau and Hong Kong are the only places in China where Tiananmen can be publicly remembered and the two cities hold annual vigils to remember the tragedy. About 125,000 people attended the Victoria Park event in Hong Kong. In Macau, the vigil was organized by the Union for Democratic Development of Macau by Au Kam Sam and Ng Kuok Cheong.
