Susan Shiu talks to those who attended last night's candlelight vigil at Victoria Park in commemoration of the victims of the June 4, 1989, Beijing massacre . . . and one who did not.

Ng Kwok-kwong, 42, with his 12-year-old daughter, Wai-yin: 'I want her to know what June 4 is all about. She may not know everything now. I hope she will be able to feel the atmosphere.' Wai-yin: 'Dad asked me to come. I know there are songs and something to eat. I'm just disappointed there's no air-conditioning.' Lam Kam-fung, 70: 'I come every year. I can't sit on the ground. I can only take a seat on the bench here and participate from a distance.' Jenny Chui Wai-ping, student: 'We knew there may be a smaller turnout and hoped our participation would help out. I haven't told my parents. They wouldn't let me come. My father always thinks the Beijing students ran into trouble because they took part in politics.' Winnie Wong Wing-sze, who joined Jenny Chui again after taking part for the first time last year: 'It's the second time I took part. School doesn't tell us much about June 4. Every year, we just know there are rallies from media reports.' A 30-year-old woman, who did not give her name: 'I took part because it's a way to show my feelings and confirm my views about June 4.' An 18-year-old student, who did not take part: 'I have to go to school tomorrow and I just don't want to participate. My parents will tell me off if I do. What is June 4? I don't know. School didn't teach me.'
