8964

1989年6月4日，你記得當天嗎？ 還是你還未在這世上出現？ 在的話，你記得當天世上發生什麼大事？
Do you remember 4th June 1989? In fact, were you even born then? And if so, do remember what happened in the world that day?

波蘭至1920年第一次半自由選舉， 獨立自治公會勝出。 波蘭從此由共產執政變成民主政治社會。 在之後一年內，多個東歐社會主義政權相繼被推翻，蘇聯終於解體，成員邁向獨立民主政權。
Poland held its first partial free elections on this day. The Solidarity party won, ending communism in Poland and created a domino effect in the Eastern bloc and the Soviet Union. A few months later the Berlin Wall came down, and two years later the Soviet Union was dissolved.

在地球的另一邊，也有一個共產社會在醞釀政改。要求民主自由，言論自由，平等福利，壓抑通脹，反貪污等等聲音相繼響起。 黨內其中一位極力提倡政改的元老胡耀邦成為新一代的希望，期待他可以把國家帶進民主自由社會。

胡耀邦不幸於1989年4月病逝，明燈熄滅同時也把希望帶走。上百萬學生和市民齊集天安門廣場上悼念胡耀邦， 要求黨延續他生前提出的社會改革。 從和平守候到絕食抗議， 只為想得到文明社會應有的基本權利。6月4日凌晨，20萬軍隊連同坦克車和步槍衝入廣場向手無寸鐵的學生和市民開火，廣場變屠場。過了這天，估計有數千個孩子再沒回家，而共產黨就把事情從歷史中擦掉。幾千條生命就這樣為民主而犧牲。

我感謝你看到標題還打開這文章。可能你當時不知道8964的意思，但閱讀到的這裡，你就明白為什麼網路上不能搜尋64這兩個敏感數字。我並沒有要改變你從小被教育的想法，只想說出真相。

On the same day the Poland elections were held, citizens in another major communist country on the other side of the world was experience resistance for political reforms. Over a million people had gathered in Tiananmen Square for over two months protesting peacefully. They requested reforms for democracy, freedom of speech, and measures to combat corruption and inflation. Basic human rights in a modern free society.

Their requests were ignored, and in the early hours of 4th June, the communist government sent twenty thousand troops along with tanks into Tiananmen Square opening fire on the defenceless protesters. The People's Liberation Army were massacring the people not liberating them. After that day, thousands of people never returned home. They left this world fighting for freedom and their family were not allowed to mourn for them. The events of Tiananmen Square was wiped from history. It is a taboo subject for those who know, and non existence for the younger generation.
