香港人嘅六四故事

Hong Kongers’ June 4 Stories – Online Sharing 

When Commemoration Becomes Difficult, How Do We Understand and Remember? 

For over three decades, Hong Kong has been one of the most important places in the world for commemorating June 4th. The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (HK Alliance) organized the world’s largest candlelight vigil in Victoria Park year after year. This was an act not only of mourning, but also of steadfast commitment to historical truth and civil society. 

Since the implementation of the National Security Law, this shared public memory has faced unprecedented restrictions. The candlelight can no longer be lit in Victoria Park. Yet acts of commemorating June 4th have not disappeared. From June 4th vigils around the world and performances of June 4th Stage, to individual persistence, the memory continues in different forms. 

As HK Alliance leaders Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung stand trial on charges of “inciting subversion of state power,” we invite three Hong Kongers from different positions: Fernando Cheung Chiu-hung, Lit Ming-wai, and Alex Chow Wing Hong. They will share their personal memories connected to June 4th and their stories with HK Alliance and its members. 

Drawing from civic action, cultural practice, and diasporic experience, they will respond to the current trial and reflect together: What does June 4th mean to Hong Kongers at this moment? 

Let us speak of June 4th once more, and together contemplate the meaning of memory, freedom, and resistance today.

  • Fernando Cheung Chiu-hung (Board Member, Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas)
