Today is a “sensitive day” according to the local government officials. It’s sad to witness the city deteriorate to a point where people are afraid of merely saying the two numerical digits “64” and commemorating publicly what happened on this day 35 years ago.
It feels suffocating to live in a city where we’re constantly being lied of the rights to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly when the contrary was being witnessed. Countless people are still currently imprisoned or detained for saying what authorities don’t like to hear. That includes Chow Hung Tung, who was accused of organizing an illegal candlelight vigil on this day in 2021.
I made plans to move back to the country where I will be granted genuine freedom in late June or early July. However, the plan has to be delayed because there are still some projects I wish to finish up here before I can leave in peace and without regrets.
Oh God, please continue to pour Your grace and mercy on me and guide my steps forward.
