June 4th 2014 is the 25th Anniversary of The Tiananmen Square Massacre. On June 4th 1989 The Cure played a concert in Rome, Italy and our own Robert Smith sang what is probably the most emotional, gut wrenching version of Faith in history, to honor those that died that day. I created a video using that version of Faith to remember the day. Feel free to add your thoughts, memories, or even just a candle.

A truly horrific tragedy.
& one that is still banned from discussion in a country that the rest of the world continues to trade with.
I'm not sure anyone knows the true toll (not just death).

It's so much different when a man walks up and he's THIS high
and he says "shut your ****ing face" and holds a gun to my mouth
what will I do what will I do what will you do ... .. .

I will never forget

What's still quite chilling is the fact the Chinese authorities refuse to recognise it even happened.
They have guards in the square stopping people taking photos & checking documents today.
Moreover, if you are logged on to TCC in China, you will not be able to see this thread at all.

You are correct Steve and that is the biggest crime of all. That and not acknowledging the people who have died. 1989 was a very different time but to still not acknowledge it is horrid.
