Hong Kong remembers Tiananmen Square
June 5 - Hopes may be dashed for a day, but the spirit of liberty endures. Thousands Mark Tiananmen Square Anniversary in Hong Kong proving that the ideals and mettle of those students have achieved a place in history that not even the Chinese bureaucrats can erase.

There is also this fine tribute by Tuning Spork.
8:25 - Through seredipitous means, I happened upon a blog that reprinted Nicholas Kristoff's original reporat on the massacre which appeared in the NY Times on June 4, 1989. Time has not dulled the brutality of using tanks against human bodies.

Debbye, is this really the first time you've found Sheila's blog? You're in for a treat. She was one of the many people who finally got me to cave in and start (although it was Emily Jones who crossed the entire US to threaten with physical bodily harm in person).

China
The people of China have a marvelous degree of patience.
They also extend and value respect.
Why then do the [enlightened] Controllers of China, devoid of patience,
lower the huge boot of state force, and randomly crush beautiful and promising young spirits who are merely voicing an opinion.
China's Controllers may wish to advance from behind Kruchev's shoe and selectively detain protest leaders to tone things down, and then release them later when things cool off.
China's leadership would thus display some measure of patience and earn at least some respect for improving leadership skills; For advancing into modern times along with the rest of Chinese living today.
It is just that primitive behaviour that bars Chins from international clubs she longs to be part of.
