悼念”六四”、莫忘”今天”
前幾天使六月四號,在31年前今天可是個中國一群熱愛自己國家的學生們永遠不會忘記對於自己國家做得一件令歷史寫下記憶的事。那年我才剛高中畢業。懵懵懂懂的我只記得是個非常恐怖的夜晚,我每天都盯著新聞看。一面看、一面哭。後來同學他載著我去投氣球送大陸。我真的為那些熱愛國家的學運分子的勇敢這樣熱愛自己國家方式感到驕傲。雖說這些熱血分子是受到歐美國家的教育思想的結晶。他們的選擇就是如此。難過的事—這場戰役究竟讓學生們死多人,大家都看到了坦客車壓過學生們的身體。有人說200,那是中共官方說法。並且明令六四。不可以在國內有任何活動。而學運領袖說至少2000。槍桿子也許可以出政權,但無法平天下。民族復興是依靠人民,不是依靠軍隊。
而在香港” 民主歌聲獻中華”正是六四背景由一群支持號稱支持六四民主運動。但今天如何?這次在香港反送中運動。這些明星藝人們一個各為自己利益與中共站在同一邊。例如1989年當年的成龍說不為民主低頭而唱,現在則是要號招人挺國安法。其他人亦是如此。人性吧!
而在今天近六四的佛洛伊德事件。我真發現美國總統不是人幹的。但最受社會國際爭議事莫過於川普總統是否該出動”軍隊”鎮壓人民? 大部分的州卻不跟進。因為若出動軍隊被國際社會譏為這與中共出動鎮壓人民有甚麼不同! 當然這件事也是考驗總統未來總統大選民調。所以我說美國總統真不是人幹的。
在當時六四時,在我幼小心靈是最喜歡伍爾開希,因為他實在太帥了。而我的同學則喜歡王丹,因為他真的充滿理想主義者。但31年後的今天,我則是太欣賞王丹了。他現在雖是作家。但談吐字裡行間,充滿理想。
六四淺談、莫忘今天。

Remembering and Mourning June 4th , Today
31 years agon on June 4th, a group of Chinese students who loved their own country lost their lives. We will never forget what they have done, and they will always be remembered throughout history. That year, I had just graduated from high school. I can't help but remember that terrible night. I stared at the news every day following the massacre. All I could do was stare and cry. Later, my classmates took me to the coast to send balloons toward the mainland. I'm really proud of the bravery of those student patriots who loved their country so much. Although their seeds of passion sprouted as a result of the educational ideals they learned from European and American countries, the protest was their choice.
The biggest tragedy were the many lives this battle caused to be lost. Everyone saw the tanks driving toward the students. Some say 200 died. At least, that was the official statement of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The student-movement leader said at least 2000 people died. Clearly, such a tragedy warrants there should be no activities in the country on June 4th. The rifle may have the power of forced fear, but it can never dominate the world. National rejuvenation depends on the people, not on an army.
In Hong Kong, "Democratic Songs Dedicated to China" are precisely the emotions of the June 4th movement. But what about today and the anti-send campaign? These star artists are on the same side as the Chinese Communist Party, and are working for their own benefit. For example, in 1989, Jackie Chan said that he would not bow to democracy by performing his music, and now he is calling for the recruitment of Ting Guo An Law. The same is true of others. Where is the humanity?!
In today's June 4th George Floyd incident, I don’t believe it was the fault of the United States’ President. But now, the most internationally controversial issue is whether President Trump should send an army to suppress the people. Most states did not follow through on President Trump’s threat. If he were to dispatch an army made up of the international community to China, the Chinese Communist Party would not dare to suppress the people! Of course, this matter is also a test of the president's future presidential election polls. So, I believe the President of the United States does not have pure intention.
At the time of June 4th, in my young mind, Woolkai was my favorite star because he was so handsome. My classmates liked Wang Dan because of his ideology. Today, 31 years later, Wang Dan has become an inspirational, ideological writer whom I have come to admire greatly.
Today and always, let’s never forget the tragedy that happened on June 4th.
