Washington
Candlelight Memorial Service to Commemorate the Victims of June 4 Massacre

Washington
-
This
year marks the 28th anniversary of the June 4 Massacre. There are a series of commemorative
events carried out throughout the United States. On the evening on June 3, a candlelight commemoration was
carried out in front of the Chinese embassy in Washington DC by the IFCSS (Independent
Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars). In the sparkling candlelight,
famous democracy activists and representatives from all walks of life delivered
their speeches.
Wei
Jingsheng, the chairman of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, said it is
significant to hold these commemorations: "We hold this commemorative
event every year. Many people
often ask me, what is the significance of doing this? I think it is very significant and must be continued. Why? We are doing this to show the people of the whole world and
the people of the whole country.
We are showing that we have not forgotten that day. So many young people gave up their
lives and shed their blood for the progress of China, for freedom and democracy
in China. They were so heroic and
so disciplined, which is rare in the whole world."
Xia
Yeling, a former professor of Beijing University and Chinese economy scholar
who is exiled in the USA, said that it is for more youths to learn about the
truth: "Today, we are going to let 1.4 billion Chinese people know more
about the truth. That is because
many of the children born after 1980 and 1990 only learned about the June 4
Massacre for the first time after they came to the Western world. This is sad."
The
IFCSS also awarded the "Freedom of Spirit Award" to Xie Wenfei, a
Southern Street activist in Guangzhou who is still in jail. All the speakers called on young people
to join the ranks pursuing constitutional democracy and freedom in China.

华盛顿烛光追悼会纪念六四逝者
2017年6月4日

魏之,郁安
华盛顿 -
今年是六四事件28周年，美国各地都进行了一系列纪念活动。全美学自联6月3日晚在美国首都华盛顿中国大使馆的门前进行了烛光纪念会。
6月3日晚，全美学自联在中国驻美大使馆的门前进行了名为"六四"28周年烛光追悼会的活动。在烛光闪闪中，著名民运人士和各界代表发表演讲。
中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生说，纪念活动意义重大: "我们每年都在这举行这个纪念活动，很多人经常来问我，你们搞这个有什么意义呢？我觉得非常有意义。而且一定要坚持下去。为什么呢？我们做给全世界的老百姓和全国老百姓看。那个日子我们没有忘记。那个日子里那么多热血青年为了中国的进步，为了中国的自由民主，为了所有老百姓世世代代能过上好日子，不惜抛头颅洒热血，那个英勇，那个纪律性，全世界都罕见。"
流亡美国的原北大教授、中国经济学者夏业良说，要让更多的青年人了解真相："我们今天要让14亿中国人更多地了解真相。因为很多80后、90后的孩子们，当他们来到西方世界的时候，他们才第一次听说有六四屠杀这回事。这个是令人感到悲哀的方面。"
全美学自联当晚还为仍在狱中的广州南方街头运动活动人士谢文飞，颁发了"自由精神奖"。演讲者呼吁青年人加入中国追求宪政民主自由的行列。
