These photographs of candlelight vigil taken from the
websites of different news agencies are strong enough to push us to think the
spark is still there. Yes, the spark has always been there and let’s hope it
build silently and erupts when the day comes.
And the Chinese government, its ‘dictators’ and the ruling
Communist party realise it as the pro-democracy activists and aspirants mark
the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Protests and the Tiananmen
Massacre.
The vigil night on June 4 yet again reaffirms the hope
that in spite of the China’s
efforts to suppress the voices of protests demanding political reforms and more
space to democracy, they refuse to die. Though in minority when it comes to
expressing, the voices are still strong enough to carry the symbolism of the
fight that has always been there.
The silence voices and their collective voice on a day
like this are symbolically strong enough to tell the world the flame is still
burning, and some day, it will find its way, when the tanks and the armed
soldiers would not be able to crush the dissent, these photographs of the Tiananmen
Hong Kong Vigil from the Victoria Park tell us.
