This Saturday (4th) marks the 33rd anniversary of the "June 4th Incident". Under the new political situation, the pro-democracy camp has not organized any large-scale public mourning activities.
This year's Legislative Council has been "cleared" of traditional democrats, and no one has put forward the "Rehabilitation of June 4th" motion in the Legislative Council either.
"Hong Kong 01" asked several new lawmakers about their views on "June 4th". Many people pointed out that they respect citizens' personal feelings, but "June 4th" should not become a "stumbling block" for Hong Kong people to continue to move forward.
As for He Junyao, an electoral committee who has always stood out in his words and deeds, he pointed out that he would blow out candles on the day of June 4th. Why?

Jiang Yuhuan, mother of two sons: Don't be trapped in history and cause differentiation
Jiang Yuhuan, a member of the election committee, said that he agreed in principle to understand the importance of history, but hoped that Hong Kong people would not stay in this incident: "The most important thing for Hong Kong people is to look forward, not to stick to history, to affect unity and mutual trust, not to It's worth it." She pointed out that other people will respect any commemorative activities, and she doesn't think "June 4th" is a taboo, but this should not cause divisions in Hong Kong society.
She believes that it is understandable that the social events in 2019 caused the government to take some actions in politics, because the issue may become a tool for some people to fight against the government: "To be honest, without the events of 2019, there would be no such thing as today. (June 4 rallies have been banned for the past two years).” Jiang Yuhuan, who has two sons, was asked about their political views and whether they had participated in “June 4” activities. She said that both of them were very sensible and focused on development. My own business, so I feel grateful.

Liu Zhipeng, an electoral scholar himself, said that there are many different angles to understand history, and there are many ways to collect historical data. Some things that seem to be historically finalized often have new fragments from time to time, which are constantly re-explored and discussed, especially It’s something that happened in modern times: “From a historical point of view, I would think that there is still a long way to go before there is enough historical data for a basic exploration.”

Zhang Xinyu: Scars should not be a burden Lin Suwei: Always look to the future
Lin Suwei, a directly elected member of the Southeastern New Territories and a professional powerhouse, said that historical memory must be learned, but always look to the future.
Zhang Xinyu, a directly elected member of the New Territories North and a new direction for Hong Kong, pointed out that "June 4th" is indeed a scar of the Chinese nation, but this scar should not become a burden and hinder the progress of Hong Kong people: "What do the citizens feel about this matter, of course it is personal Freedom, but as for what to do, you must judge for yourself within a legal framework.” He pointed out that he had no special plan on June 4th.
New thinking Di Zhiyuan, the only non-establishment faction in parliament, said last week that he would not propose a motion to "rehabilitate June 4th", saying that he was still thinking about how to mourn "June 4th".
In his latest reply to media inquiries, he reiterated that "there is no specific method", and this year, "there are some words in my heart that I want to express", but he will not hold group activities, so he believes that he "didn't make a big move" that day.
He Junyao pointed out that "official words and two mouths", if it challenges the government's bottom line, it is not very good to be found to have violated the "Hong Kong National Security Law".

He Junyao persuades "doing qi" to be useless: Ming Dingming hits and gets hurt is meaningless
Ho Kwan-yao, an election committee member who has served as a member for 6 years, said that everyone knows the rules of the game, so don't try it yourself. It is personal freedom for citizens to have any activities, but they think that "fighting" with the government is useless and "sometimes dangerous", so public activities are exempt waived.
He also pointed out that "official words are two words", if it challenges the government's bottom line, it is not very good to be found to have violated the "Hong Kong National Security Law".
He Junyao also laughed and said: "(June 4th) is my birthday, so I must blow out the candles, the birthday cake is only!"
