Please light a candle on June 4Th 2009


4TH June 2009, is the twentieth anniversary of Tiananmen Square Pro-Democratic Movement, which shocked the whole world.

Twenty years ago, countless Chinese students were getting together in Tiananmen Square Beijing and shouting out anti-autocratic, anti-corruption slogans and asked the Government to give people the rights to form a party and lift the ban on the media to make a better China.

Unfortunately the movement had been suppressed ruthlessly by the authorities, so many youthful lives were lost and their blood splashed all over the Motherland which they loved utterly.

Twenty years go by; there is a big change in China economically, but the promise of political reform by Government has never been on the agenda. On the contrary, the corruptions, the gap between rich and poor, the pollution, the extraction of resource etc, all these problems are worse.

Twenty years have gone the Government has lightened the blame towards the students from “uprising” to “disturbance”, but those cases have not been redressed and justice has not been done.

For the youthful innocent lives that fell down never to stand up again in the Tiananmen square; For the heartbroken “Tiananmen mother” who’s kids were killed by authorities was still waiting for justice For the uncountable people who were heroes and heroines died trying to bring democracy and freedom to China in the past 60 years; For the uneasy souls of millions upon millions of un-natural deaths under the autocratic…

Light a candle on the night of June 4TH 2009 for them, please!

If it not convenient to light a candle in public that night, you could actually light a candle in your home or the work place or on the way traveling or anywhere you like.
You could even light a candle in your heart that night, please!
We believe innumerable candles will light up at the same time around the world it would show the world as well as China that we will never ever forget Tiananmen Square Pro-Democratic movement and the people who died for.
