June 4th Tiananmen Massacre

I knew I was getting old when I started to follow economic news, and even older now that I began to read about politics.

Today marks the 21st anniversary of the June 4th Tiananmen Square Massacre.  Not to speak of politics, I could barely do my multiplications table back then.  But it shocked me when I watched a video of the news report recorded on June 4th, 1989, I just couldn’t understand why a government would kill thousands of its own citizens in any circumstances?

I wanted to stop by Victoria Park tonight to witness for the first time the annual candlelight vigil, but it was just too crowded to get in.  Maybe next year…
