"Seventeen years have passed since the June 4 incident. Mainland China has achieved great economic growth over the last 17 years. These achievements have also brought prosperity and economic benefits to Hong Kong and allow us to reflect on the incident in an objective perspective." - Donald Tsang Yam-kuen , Hong Kong Chief Executive. 4 June 2006
"關於六四事件，香港人已經好清楚，當然這件事已經有17年，17年來內地有舉世矚目的大變化，這變化為香港帶來繁榮及很多經濟效益，令港人可以在這段時間做一個客觀的評估。我好相信現時港人對這問題所採取的態度，是好自然的反應。" - 曾蔭權, 4 June, 2006
That's a shame for the one who claimed himself as Hong Kong Guy, who drink Hong Kong water and flowing Hong Kong blood inside his body. Shame on you!

to quote a mainlander:
"在以真實為恥，以謊言為榮的時代裡，我只能無恥的活著。"
see you next year, same place, same time.
謊言? I'd like to offer couple more reference in addition to PBS Frontline's "The Tank Man", where it reported the fact Chinese government did investigate this, and release casualty figure of 240 some dead (incidentally in-line with our own NSA intel estimate.)
An article by Gregory Clark on pack journalism:
http://mparent7777.livejournal.com/7702519.html
"the so-called massacre was in fact a mini civil war as irate Beijing citizens sought to stop initially unarmed soldiers sent to remove students who had been demonstrating freely in the square for weeks. When the soldiers finally reached the square there was no massacre."
An article by Columbia Journal Review on passive journalism:
http://archives.cjr.org/year/98/5/tiananmen.asp
"as far as can be determined from the available evidence, no one died that night in Tiananmen Square.
...
Hundreds of people, most of them workers and passersby, did die that night, but in a different place and under different circumstances."
[Just for reference, throwing molotov cocktail at riot police is a crime in US.]
為曾生默哀一分鐘...
GREAT JOB !!!!!
