This past Saturday was the 33rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. In remembrance of this tragic event, over the weekend, some UCSD students displayed LED candles and copies of newspaper reports on the tragedy. The setup was destroyed later at night by fellow UCSD students: candles kicked away and newspaper ripped off.
The memorial installation has since been restored by student volunteers, but for a second time the newspaper along with a politely-worded letter were ripped out. The letter sincerely urged those that disagree with the memorial to stay calm and consider dialogue instead of violent destruction.
We would like to draw UCSD’s attention to these incidents as such acts of disrespect should not be happening in a campus that values open communication, integrity, and inclusion.

他们的六四故事：当中国年轻一代参与纪念六四
The duty of “The Last Generation”
当一排排自行车的emoji消失在微博，当每年纪念六四的团体青黄不接，当香港被禁止举办维园晚会，当国人被锁在家中发出“我们是最后一代”的呐喊，我们选择了站出来，让我们的行动被看到，让我们的声音被听到，告诉他们：年轻一代还在，我们没有忘记。
