The organizer's figure of participants this year is 45,000. The police's figure is likely to be about half of that. Respectable turn-out I suppose, despite the World Cup going on. Number of participants seem to have stabilized over the last few years. Headache for the SAR government and our CE Mr Tung. Mr Tung wants us to forget about Tiananmen. However, in the foreseeable future, on every 4 June tens of thousand of people will gather to remember the dead. Folks say the Hong Kong people are practical, forgetful and forgiving. Not on the matter of government brutality we are not. 1:41:16 AM

For the last thirteen years, on every 4 June in Victoria Park in Hong Kong, lots of people join together and light up candles. I was there a few hours ago. I had my Nikon 5000 and my Hexar with me. Took ~130 pictures with the DC, and 1 roll and a bit of film with the Hexar. It's late in the morning. I'll upload more pictures later. Meanwhile, you might want to check out this. Usual warning: get your Quicktime player from here. 1:22:42 AM
