關於 what is a candlelight vigil ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

This is the second year that the vigil has run into difficulties of securing approval. 香港支聯會 Hong Kong Alliance secretary Richard Choi acknowledged that the alliance was facing a very harsh political environment and needed to think about what to do to conserve its strength for future development.

支聯會去年向康文署申請六四維園燭光晚會，唯因疫情狀況遭拒，今年晚會再次以同樣理由不被獲批。支聯會副主席蔡耀昌認為，民主派現階段須重新構思策略，在法治、傳媒、民間社會等層面維持原有價值，強調在這困難的環境一定有事可做，亦應該要做。

真相有如一面照妖鏡，政權的邪惡一覽無遺。以謊言治國的專制政權，最害怕人民把真相揭示。

昔日「六四」屠城，街衢染紅廣場蘸血；今天香港黑警橫行，肆虐逼迫抗爭者。當下武漢爆發的肺炎蔓延全世界，近30萬人病歿，中共政權從來都是隱瞞謊報，不斷製造人禍大災難。

「不自由丶毋寧死」。自由是「人之所以為人」的基本需求，是所有人權的基礎。法治是人民自由的保障 ; 民主是人民自由在政治權利的體現。中共的歷史正是鎮壓自由的歷史，是人民反抗暴政的歷史。

人民不會忘記波瀾壯闊的八九民運，中國學生和人民，為爭取民主自由而抗爭，中共為維護專制政權，不惜血洗北京。
人民不會忘記「天安門母親」，31年來堅持說出「六四」真相。
人民不會忘記劉曉波，倡議《零八憲章》要求政治改革，最終病逝獄中。
人民不會忘記黃琦，發起「六四天網運動」監督腐敗政權，如今陷獄病危。
人民不會忘記「709大抓捕」的維權律師，為公義犧牲。
人民不會忘記中國勞權團體，為爭取勞權而蒙冤入獄。
人民不會忘記吹哨人李文亮醫生，不幸染病離世。
人民不會忘記揭露疫情真相的民間記者陳秋實等人，至今仍不知所終。
人民更不會忘記在香港為自由抗爭被捕的人、被黑警虐打的手足，以及不知名的犧牲者。

暴政有如病毒，感染和威脅全人類。世界擁抱自由價值的人民，大家一起聆聽自己良心的呼喚，對抗暴政病毒。當全球在應對疫症病毒，中共突然亮劍，將暴政工具——《國安法》，由人大通過強加在香港，徹底破壞一國兩制，打壓港人自由。

在抗爭的人民身上，我們看見希望。在抗爭的路上，我們見證著生命影響生命。 內地人民用生命點燃光明，無畏無懼；香港維園的燭光30年來沒有熄滅，放亮發光。讓我們今天一起高舉燭光，發出生生不息的亮光，燃點反暴政抗争的怒火。

為真相，抗爭到底！為自由，抗爭到底！為生命，抗爭到底！
反對《國安法》，反對以言入罪！
釋放民運人士！ 平反八九民運！ 追究屠城責任！ 結束一黨專政！建設民主中國！
五大綱領，抗爭到底！

Truth is like a magic mirror that unveils the evil spirit behind a human façade. Truth can even strip a tyranny down to its evil core. Truth is the arch-enemy of a dictatorship that rules with lies.

31 years ago, the June 4th Crackdown turned the streets and the square into a bloodbath. Now, here in Hong Kong, the unrestrained black cops are terrorising the city and brutalizing the protesters. Around the world, the coronavirus pandemic originating in Wuhan city of China has claimed nearly 300 thousand lives. The Chinese Communist Party/ CCP, as ever, dispenses fake news to cover up the truth, causing an ongoing catastrophe every country has to pay for.

“Give me liberty, or give me death”. Freedom is the basis of all human rights. It is what makes us human; it is guaranteed by the rule of law; it is manifested in a democracy by realising our political rights. However, the history of the Chinese Communist Party/ CCP is one that crushes freedoms and the people who resist tyranny.

People will not forget the monumental 1989 pro-democracy movement, where the people and students in China rose to fight for freedom and democracy. The Chinese Communist Party/ CCP, in defending its dictatorship, answered with bloodshed.

People will not forget the Tiannamen Mothers, their persistence in disclosing the truths of the June 4th crackdown.

People will not forget Liu Xiaobo, the advocate of Charter 08 for political reform, who was jailed then left to fall sick and die in prison.

People will not forget Huang Qi, who is still jailed for reporting corruption cases through running the website ‘64 Tiangwang’ and is now in danger of dying from severe health conditions.

People will not forget the human rights lawyers who made sacrifices for justice in the 709 crackdown.

People will not forget the labour activists in China who are unlawfully imprisoned for what they have done for workers.

People will not forget Doctor Li Wenliang, the whistle blower of the Wuhan virus outbreak who died from the disease.

People will not forget those who volunteered to reveal truths about the Wuhan virus outbreak, such as Chen Qiushi, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

People will not forget those who have been arrested, tortured by the black cops or even perished due to the ongoing protests in Hong Kong.

Tyranny infects and threatens humankind like a virus. I urge everyone in every corner of the earth who embraces the value of freedom to listen to the call from your conscience to combat the virus of tyranny. While most countries endeavour to contain the pandemic, the CCP unsheathed the sword with the tyrannical tool- the national security laws and imposed on these laws on Hong Kong by the National People’s Congress. This mark the end of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ and the freedoms the Hongkongers are entitled to enjoy.

On those who resist, we see hope. On the road of resistance, we witness the life of one changing that of another. In China, we see people who fearlessly risk their life to light up darkness; In Hong Kong, we see the candlelight at Victoria Park burning bright for 30 odd years. Let us raise our candlelight; let it gleam, let it fuel our fighting flames.

For truth, we fight to the end! For freedom, we fight to the end!
For life, we fight to the end!

Stop the national security laws!
Stop criminalising free speech!

Release all dissidents! Rehabilitate the 1989 pro-democracy movement!
Bring to justice those accountable for the June 4th massacre!
End of one-party dictatorship!
Build a democratic China! Five platforms, fight to the end!

轉發美國國務院“六四”紀念活動的通知：

We invite you and your network to join us in a Virtual Candlelight Vigil on June 3 (U.S.)/June 4 (China/East Asia/Pacific) to honor the courage of the Tiananmen protesters and how they inspired generations of activists calling for freedom and democracy around the world.

On June 3 in the United States (June 4 in East Asia and the Pacific), please consider participating in the Virtual Candlelight Vigil by doing the following:

Record a 15- to 30-second video of yourself holding a candle (either real or a photo/drawing) and talking about how the Tiananmen protesters inspired you or what freedoms you fight for or use each day.
Upload the video to your social media accounts with the hashtag #TiananmenVigil.
Retweet the State Department’s videos, which you can find on accounts such as @StateDept and @StateDRL.
If you can’t make a video, an alternative is to upload a photo of yourself with a comment and holding a candle (real or drawing). Don't forget the hashtag!

And most importantly, pass the word to colleagues, family, and friends who support democracy and free expression of human rights. We are determined not to allow the CCP to erase the memory of Tiananmen Square, and hope this Virtual Candlelight Vigil will inspire human rights advocates around the world.
