While I am at it, I thank the world media, all citizens everywhere, who make a point to do something constructive to recognise the shock and saddness of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre
on this day.
History repeats, unless we learn from it.
Chin Jin, you are right as are the words you chose, to reflect an outcry at the then Chinese leadership, to bring a fresh recollection of what happened but what is being hushed, in China itself.
Blindfolding us, you expect us to see nothing,
Plugging our ears, you expect us to hear nothing,
Yet the truth is in our heart,
The pain is in our chest,
How much longer do we have to endure?
How much longer do we have to be kept silent?
If tears can wash away all dust,
If blood can exchanged for freedom,
Let tomorrow remember today’s outcry,
Let the world see the wound of history.
