Tiananmen Square crackdownPBS
•73% Informative
The 1989 crackdown, in which government troops opened fire on student-led pro-democracy protesters, resulting in hundreds , if not thousands , dead, remains a taboo subject in mainland China .
In Hong Kong , once a beacon of commemorative freedom, the massive June 4 annual vigil that mourned the victims has vanished.
A growing number of talks, rallies, exhibitions and plays on the subject have emerged in the U.S. , Britain , Canada , Australia and Taiwan .
Hong Kong commemorative activities allow memories to travel and endure, providing access for other people and future generations.
But experts say adapting the memories to new places might risk fragmenting or de-contextualizing them in the future.
Film and television dramas can be powerful tools for people to take on memories of events through which they didn’t live, experts say.
