Thirty years after the 1989 Tian’anmen Incident, many people have convinced themselves to forget about it, while many continue to remember. Here in this workshop we have two scholars commenting on the meanings of the June Fourth event to us today, through the overlapped perspectives between Hong Kong and China, literature-writing and history-writing. We hope that by examining the past we can gain some confidence to walk to the future.
1989年天安門事件距今三十年，很多人選擇忘記，也有不少人繼續記憶。是次聚會我們請來兩位六四研究者，從香港和中國，文學書寫和歷史書寫的複雜角度分析六四事件對今天的意義。通過回望過去，我們希望可以找到繼續向前的勇氣。
