It is 26 years since the crackdown on pro Democracy students demonstrating in Beijing, but we in Hong Kong have not forgotten. I was on that first march , and I still remember the shocked silence with which the news was greeted. Last night thousands kept vigil as usual.

Wow...I remember the massacre, but didn't think it was 1989! Time is passing so quickly.

Hong Kong people are so very busy, but they never forget to mark this one. The students , who were not even born , so many took part this year .
