Every June 4, my dad says, "Today is June 4. Do you know what happened?" Yes, I remember very vividly what happened 20 years ago in Tianamen Square in Beijing, China. I have memories of people who looked a lot like me in the streets protesting the lack of democratic elections. It was the first time I'd seen Chinese people engage in civil disobedience, and I remember when the tanks began to roll, I felt a heavy sense of injustice... and inspiration.
Today like every year since 1989 June 4, Tianamen Square is empty of protestors and full of police officers, but others remember... the picture here is from the New York Times, showing the thousands in the streets of Hong Kong.
