June 4, 1989 – June 4, 2025

Thirty-six years ago, tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square. What began as a peaceful student movement demanding freedom, transparency, and reform ended in a massacre. Thousands may have died. We may never know the full truth—because the Chinese government has never allowed it to be told.

Today, open discussion remains banned in mainland China. Candlelight vigils in Hong Kong have been outlawed. But the memory lives on—in exile, in whispers, and in the courage of those who refuse to forget.

Tiananmen matters not only to China, but to the world. It reminds us of the power of peaceful protest—and the price people pay for demanding change.

To remember is to resist forgetting. To speak is to honor the silenced.
