Beijing, June 3, 1989. To paraphrase John Sayles, The heart remembers what even history tries to forget. (Mark Avery, AP)
On June 4, 1989, the People's Liberation Army rolled into Tiananmen Square where, opening fire on crowds and running over those who seeking to block their advance.
Up to 1,000 civilians were killed, according to estimates by human rights groups and Western outlets based on hospital records, eyewitness accounts, diplomatic cables, and counts of known victims and missing persons. The Chinese government gives a much-lower figure of 200 to 300.
"On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square," Rubio said.

June 4, 1989
Some hope the world will remember this day.
Some hope the world will forget it.
When people seek freedom,
how great a price must they pay?
May history be remembered.
May tragedy never be repeated.

有些人希望世界記住這一天
有些人希望世界忘記這一天
當人們追求自由時
需要付出多少代價？
願歷史被記住
願悲劇不再重演

36 years after the killing of countless peaceful pro-democracy protesters in Beijing, the Chinese government still seeks to erase the memory

殤日
Fuck Chiang Kai-Shek (especially on 6/4)
His memorial looms
The sharp white angles and tented roof,
Larger than life.
It should have been torn down decades ago
Or at least renamed.
It faces a square full of decades of history
Blood, sweat, tears, and wild lilies
Some stand here tonight
Survivors of another square, separated by decades and thousands of miles.
His memorial looms over a white tent
Full of photographs of hopeful faces and shrouded bodies
Juxtaposed together
A woman on a bicycle hides from tanks under a bridge
Candles outline a date
Four forbidden numbers that people across the sea get arrested for.
A pillar of shame stands nearby
And I wonder if he would even feel any.
As prayers are led and activists give speeches in Cantonese
It’s hard not to think about the precarious threads
Separating a few countries’ fates from each other.
The amount of Hong Kongers in the crowd is noticeable.
His memorial looms over the candles, the photos, the speeches
And wonder I about if things had been different.
With less than a year separating the Tank Man from the wild lilies
What would have happen if they had succeeded
Or those here had failed?
