China has quashed large-scale commemorations of Tuesday's 35th anniversary of Beijing's Tiananmen Square crackdown within its borders.
Rowena He poses for a photograph after the play “May 35th,” whose title is a roundabout way to refer to June 4, in London, Thursday, May 30, 2024. As the 35th anniversary of Beijing ’s Tiananmen Square crackdown neared, Rowena He, a prominent scholar of the bloody chapter of modern China , was busy flying between the United States, Britain and Canada to give a series of talks. Each was aimed at speaking out for those who cannot.
On Tuesday, the park that used to hold the vigil will be occupied by a carnival held by pro-Beijing groups. He said overseas memorial events are crucial because mainland Chinese and Hong Kongers can see overseas memorial activities online. But she said it can be “a double-edged sword” because adapting the memories to new places might risk fragmenting or de-contextualizing them in the future.
She said overseas theater productions about the crackdown, which began last year in Taiwan and continued in London this year, have a greater possibility of making those connections and potentially reaching a broader audience. The play, produced by Lit Ming-wai, part of the Hong Kong diaspora who moved to the U.K. after the enactment of the 2020 security law, tells the story of an elderly couple who wish to properly mourn their son who died in 1989.
