Large crowds gathered in Hong Kong's Victoria Park for a candlelight
vigil to remember those killed in the crackdown by Chinese tanks and
troops on protests at Tiananmen Square 25 years ago. Tens of thousands
of people held candles aloft, turning the vast area into a sea of
flickering light.

famous photograph taken during the Tiananmen massacre
China has begun an annual crackdown on efforts by families to commemorate the
victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre, 24 years after the
pro-democracy demonstrations were crushed by the People’s Liberation
Army.
A number of internet search terms have been banned including 'tomorrow'
"today", "tonight", "June 4" and other number combinations that might
refer to what the Chinese call the June Fourth Incident .
