the Tiananmen Square massacre

今年の6月4日で、天安門事件から32年が経ちました。

People in Hong Kong are marking the 32nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, but in  a much more muted way than in previous years.

Macau and Hong Kong are the only places in China where people can commemorate the anniversary of the deadly 1989 crackdown by Chinese soldiers on pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing. Estimates of the dead vary from a few hundred to several thousand.  (BBC)
