Candlelight - 20100607

Every June 4, thousands of flicking candlelight would constitute quite a stunning scene in the Victoria Park. Like a piece of pointillism oil, it comprises a black canvas and numerous swaying golden spots.

李天命has a short poem - 「夜越暗，星越亮」. So, in Causeway Bay, the poem could be paraphrased as "The darker the night, the brighter the candlelight".

With no extraordinary theme, in not a memorable time, the 21st anniversary of June 4 rally was attended by 150,000, or 113,000, depending on the source to be relied upon. However, either number of attendance is enormous.

So, what is the main cause? Some said the selective enforcement performed by our Police. Quite a number of people suggested the ridiculous "Act Now" campaign. Others would point fingers at the timid top management of Chinese University of Hong Kong. The truth could never be known and is meaningless to be guessed of.

However, there is still one thing for sure, is that we could still enjoy our freedom. We could enjoy the farcical "Act Now" campaign, that officials and opponents shouted at each others' faces for repetitious wordings. "Act Now" "Act Now" . . . "Super Wrong" "Super Wrong" . . . Similarly, on June 4, I treasured the moment of singing and shrieking, on my own will, very much.
