REMEMBER JUNE FOURTH, 1989

01

SUPPORT The Tiananmen Mothers

 

​

 

The Tiananmen Square Massacre of June 4, 1989, remains a painful and significant event in modern Chinese history. During this brutal crackdown, countless ordinary and innocent people, including students, workers, and citizens, lost their lives. Their families were left to grieve in silence, facing both personal loss and political oppression. Unfortunately, after 35 years, “June 4” is still forbidden in China. The historical truth has been hidden from younger generations. In this context, "The Tiananmen Mothers" emerged as a courageous group of activists, dedicated to seeking justice and preserving the memory of the victims.

​

Let us not forget those innocent victims. Let us help their families by advocating for their right to accept humanitarian aid from organizations and individuals both inside and outside China.

I cannot turn a blind eye to the pain of those who suffer my same fate. As a group, they have been forgotten and forsaken by society. I made the firm decision to continue in my mission of locating and helping June Fourth families, until the government itself actively takes up this project and there is no longer any need for our efforts.
