在我漫长的几十年生活中，1989年的一个最刻骨铭心的经历发生在北京，那时我得知中国人民解放军向一群手无寸铁的争取民主的示威者释放了战争武器。请原谅我没有更详细地描述那些悲惨的场景。
然而，总有一天，我相信，中国也会称颂其1989年的英雄。与此同时，我们所能做的就是尽力尊重真相——往往是一个杂乱、微妙的真相，仍然隐藏着谜团——从而在捷克出生的作家米兰·昆德拉所描述的“记忆与遗忘之争”中发挥我们的作用。
结合中共在中国强大的大数据监控防火墙的崛起，我想强调我们的口号“永不忘记，永不放弃”。
[在互联网进入中国之前，中国官方媒体抹去了六四的记忆，年轻人对天安门大屠杀一无所知]
中国政府长期以来一直利用各种方法掩盖真相，抹去人们对六四事件的记忆。它曾称六四事件为“反革命暴乱”，后来改称为“1989年春夏之交政治风波”、“1989年政治风波”等词语。多年来，当局一直遵循“封锁、回避、淡化、遗忘”的原则。教科书上没有提及六四事件，他们尽最大努力抹去这段令人难堪的历史。在中国的街头采访的人们坦率地表示他们对六四事件没有任何感觉，或者根本不知道发生了什么。
[大防火墙屏蔽中国的互联网关键词，希望下一代忘记天安门大屠杀]
自2000年以来，中共每年投入数十亿美元将中国人民与世界隔离开来。然而，管理中国互联网的中共工业和信息技术部门甚至不敢承认“网络防火墙”（通常被称为大型互联网墙或墙）的存在。中共建立互联网防火墙是因为无法控制外国社交媒体上的言论，因此只能依靠“筑墙”阻止国内人民自由发言。
在21世纪信息时代，难以想象中共政权竟会越境逮捕一个主张互联网自由的普通市民乔鑫鑫，以煽动颠覆国家政权的罪名迫害他。更可笑的是，这个政权实际上还公开举办了世界互联网大会。世界互联网大会每年在一个没有互联网自由访问的国家举行，会址就是乌镇，似乎在暗示乌：没有，镇：真相。這就是直白的暗示：這裡沒有真相。
互联网上的搜索结果都是空白的，所有与六四事件有关的视频、图片、文章等都被屏蔽。在互联网上的热门搜索关键词例如抑制、赔偿、天安门事件、天安门的中文和英文版本、坦克、学生运动、动乱、1989年动乱、关于六四的中文和数字表示、英文的64MEMO和其他各种的词语排列组合。这些都被列为敏感词，一旦搜索，网络防火墙就会自动屏蔽。
中国竭尽全力消除与六四相关的任何痕迹。例如，即使与1989年6月4日相同编号的列车D8964，在五年前此刻停运了。我今天核实了，得知这列火车目前运行频次和停靠次数有所限制。
因此，在中国国内，政府并非传达其事件版本，而是全面扼杀对这一话题的任何讨论。这是不可提及的。香港曾是有关天安门民主运动的记忆库，但中国摧毁了这个城市的精神，囚禁了独立思想家如出版商兼民主活动人士黎智英。
中国总体上在改写历史方面相当有效，部分原因是通过挪用语言。在中文中，1949年的共产主义革命被称为“解放”，朝鲜战争被称为“抗美援朝战争”，因毛泽东政策导致的1959-1962年饥荒——可能是世界历史上最严重的饥荒——被美化地称为“三年自然灾害”。
乔治·奥威尔在《1984年》中写道：“谁控制过去，谁就控制未来”。
习近平或许认为通过掩埋历史、扼杀香港、压制宗教、扼杀互联网、囚禁律师和记者，抹去我们35年前所看到的真相，他取得了胜利，但中国学者们通常引用鲁迅在早前一次大屠杀之后的话：“墨写的谎言掩盖不了血写的事实”。
有一天，我相信我们将见证世界上人口最多的国家迎来自由。在我脑海中，我想象在天安门广场竖立一座纪念碑，用以纪念1989年的英雄。

"Never forget, never give up." And fighting the Great Firewall of China
----35th Anniversary of the 8964 Democratic Movement
In all my decades of Living, one of my most searing experiences came in 1989 in Beijing when I learned that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army unleashed weapons of war on throngs of unarmed pro-democracy protesters. Please forgive me for not describing those tragic scenes more.
However,in some day, I believe, China will also hail its heroes of 1989. In the meantime, all we can do is try to honor truth — often a messy, nuanced truth that still hides mysteries — and thus play our part in what the Czech-born writer Milan Kundera described as “the struggle of memory against forgetting.”
Combined with the strong rise of the CCP's big data surveillance firewall in China, I would like to emphasize our slogan "Never forget, never give up."
[Before the Internet entered China,China’s official media erases memories of June 4th, young people don’t know about the Tiananmen Massacre]
The Chinese government has long used various methods to cover up the truth and erase the people’s memory of June 4th. It once called the June 4th incident a "counterrevolutionary riot", and later changed it to "the political turmoil at the turn of the spring and summer of 1989" and "1989 political turmoil" and other terms. For many years, the authorities have adhered to the principle of "blocking, avoiding, downplaying, and forgetting". There is no mention of it in the textbooks, and they have gone to great lengths to erase this dark history. People in China interviewed on the street either frankly said they had no feelings about June 4th, or they had no idea what happened on June 4th.
[The Great Firewall Blocks Internet Keywords China ,Wants Next Generation to Forget the Tiananmen Massacre]
Since 2000, the CCP has spent billions of dollars every year to isolate the Chinese people from the rest of the world. Despite this, the CCP’s industry and information technology department, which manages China’s Internet, does not even dare to admit the existence of the “Network Firewall” (commonly known as the Great Internet Wall or Wall). The CCP established the Internet Firewall because it cannot control speech on foreign social media , so it can only rely on "building walls" to prevent domestic people from speaking freely.
It is unimaginable that in the information age of the 21st century, the Chinese Communist regime would cross the border and arrest Qiao-xinxin, an ordinary citizen who advocated Internet freedom, and persecute him for inciting subversion of state power. The most ridiculous thing is that this regime actually openly held the World Internet Conference .The World Internet Conference is held every year in a country without free access to the Internet. The venue is Wuzhen, which seems to say WU: No ,ZHEN: The truth. That's the blunt implication: there's no truth here.
The search results on the Internet are all blank, and all related videos, pictures, articles, etc. that have anything to do with June 4th are blocked. Hot search keywords on the Internet such as suppression, redress, Tiananmen Incident, Chinese and English versions of Tiananmen, tanks, student movements, unrest, 1989 unrest, Chinese characters and numbers for June Fourth, and English 64MEMO and other permutations and combinations of words. It is classified as a sensitive word. Once it is searched, the network firewall will automatically block it.
China has tried its best to erase any traces related to June 4th. For example, even a train numbered D8964, which is the same number as June 4, 1989, stopped running at this moment five years ago. I checked today and learned that this train has limited frequency and limited parking from April .
So within China, the government doesn’t so much convey its version of events as squelch any discussion of the topic whatsoever. It’s unmentionable. Hong Kong had been a repository of memory about the Tiananmen democracy movement, but China has crushed the city’s spirit and imprisoned independent thinkers like the publisher and democracy activist Jimmy Lai.
China has generally been quite effective at rewriting history, in part by co-opting language. In Chinese, the 1949 Communist revolution is called “Liberation,” the Korean War is the “War to resist America and help Korea,” and the famine of 1959-62 resulting from Mao’s policies — probably the worst famine in world history — is benignly known as “the three years of natural disasters.”
There had been some expectation that the internet and the information revolution would open up China; the great dissident Liu Xiaobo described the internet as “God’s gift to the Chinese people.” So far that hope has not been realized, and Liu was imprisoned and died in detention despite being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

“Who controls the past controls the future,” George Orwell wrote in “1984.”
Xi-Jinping may think he has triumphed by burying history, stifling Hong Kong, suppressing religion, strangling the internet, imprisoning lawyers and journalists, and erasing the truth of what we saw 35 years ago, but Chinese scholars often quote the writer Lu Xun after an earlier massacre: “Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.”
One day I believe we will witness the arrival of freedom in the world’s most populous country. In my mind’s eye, I envision a memorial erected on Tiananmen Square to the heroes of 1989.
