    It's been twenty six years since that fateful night in which the history of China came to a fork in the road, and took the low road. Today in Beijing it's as if Tiananmen Square Massacre never happened. I wonder what historians will make of that episode? May the souls of the dead rest in peace. May China experience great fortune, harmony, and peace.

    As for I know, if you google about that event from a computer in China you will find nothing [using Google or an other search engine ... Chinese authorities have erase even the memory of what happened].

    This is the Chinese way to keep the image of the regime clean for the people.

    I'm afraid these facts will remain in history, but only out of China ...

    That's true. The Chinese are forgetting the past.

    I would like to think that is true. It may be with respect to overseas Chinese located in Europe or North America where human rights play an important ideological role.

    But the overseas Chinese in North America fit into society so well that human rights in China may only resonate among the first generation of overseas Chinese. As the generations pass, overseas Chinese in North America become close to indistinguishable in their attitudes from the host population.
