——中国民主党英国总部在中共驻英国大使馆门前举行通宵绝食守夜活动悼念“八九·六四”英灵
35年前，春夏之交。中国人猝不及防地遭遇了一场短促却又意义深远的民主运动。6月4日，在天安门广场，在那一天，中共暴政刽子手终于撕下“人民公仆”最后的面纱，动用“人民子弟兵”，使用坦克，机枪残酷屠杀自己的人民，屠杀自己的孩子，仅仅是为了保住他们那些既得利益者的江山。35年过去了，他们向自己的人民道歉过吗？没有！35年来，人民不会忘记，历史不会忘记，民主之血从未冷却。2024年6月2日晚6点到6月3日清晨6点，中国民主党英国总部举行通宵绝食守夜活动，悼念“八九·六四”英灵，继续高举民主、自由大旗，为中国14亿老百姓争取生而为人的基本权益。
晚上六点，在使馆对面和门前,党员们手举标语，高呼口号，呼唤民主、自由、平等。
与以往相比，本次活动有两大特点令人印象深刻。
一是，首次统一着装，老将新兵均着战衣，凸显独特精神风貌
早在4月中下旬，八九民运学生、党员于伟梁、就开始与党部沟通，设计、联系生产本次活动的黑色T恤衫，最后确定左胸绣全球统一的活动LOGO,前胸胶印中国民主党英国总部英文缩写CDP·UK、红色中文“历史不会忘记”字样。这是中国民主党英国总部首次在活动中统一着装，亲历过八九·六四的民运老将、八九年还未出生的民主新兵均身着“战衣”，头系写有“绝食”、“1989·6·4”字样的白布条，凸显出中国民主党英国总部党员们独特的精神风貌和战斗豪情。
二是，党内高度民主，充分讨论达成共识，依法举行示威活动
活动之前一周，在党部群里，年龄跨度三、四十年的新老党员们就活动方式展开了热烈的讨论，激进的、稳健的，快意恩仇的、依法合规的，各种意见充分交流、碰撞，最后达成了确保活动顺利进行、不给英国警方添乱、不给中共方面递刀的共识。中国民主党英国总部顾问黄华依例向伦敦警方报备了本次活动计划。有理有节，依法活动，这也是中国民主党英国总部一贯以来的行动原则。
晚八点半，伦敦入夜，党员们点亮蜡烛，为“八九·六四”天安门死难英灵们默哀。
对于中国民主党英国总部党员们和平、理性、非暴力的示威活动，中共驻英国大使馆却依然如临大敌，反应过激。我们注意到，中共大使馆被逼首次在夜间实行通宵警戒，傍晚就加了双岗，安排了4名警卫，半夜仍有二至三名警卫在门口警戒，楼内部分窗户彻夜亮灯，并不时有人从楼上撩开窗帘偷窥。中共大使馆的种种拙劣表现，尽显其色厉内荏的本质。
凌晨时分，严寒彻骨，党员们依旧守候，为“八九·六四”后夭折的民主自由默哀。
晚上10点30分，刚刚参加阿姆斯特丹水坝广场纪念活动的黄华顾问刚下飞机，驱车赶到绝食现场和主席王冠儒会面，给现场参加绝食的党员送来3箱矿泉水，打气助威！他带来几个黑色塑料垃圾袋，嘱咐绝食党员，凌晨离场时一定要清理现场，保持干净。

35 Years: History Will Not Forget, the Blood for Democracy Has Never Cooled
——UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party Holds Overnight Hunger Strike Vigil in Front of the Chinese Embassy in Memory of the June Fourth Massacre
Thirty-five years ago, in the spring and summer, the Chinese people were caught off guard by a brief yet profoundly significant democratic movement. On June 4th, in Tiananmen Square, the executioners of the Chinese Communist regime finally tore off their last “people’s servant” mask, using the “people’s army,” tanks, and machine guns to brutally slaughter their own citizens, their own children, just to maintain their hold on power. Thirty-five years have passed, have they apologized to their people? No! For 35 years, the people have not forgotten, history has not forgotten, and the blood for democracy has never cooled. From 6 PM on June 2 to 6 AM on June 3, 2024, the UK Headquarters of the China Democracy Party held an overnight hunger strike vigil to commemorate the martyrs of June Fourth and to continue raising the banner of democracy and freedom, fighting for the basic human rights of 1.4 billion Chinese people.
At 6 PM, across from and in front of the embassy, the members held banners and shouted slogans, calling for democracy, freedom, and equality.
This year’s event had two notable features.
First, Unified Attire: Veterans and New Members Alike in Combat Gear, Highlighting a Unique Spirit
In mid to late April, Weiliang Yu, a student activist from the 1989 pro-democracy movement and a party member, began coordinating with the party to design and produce black T-shirts for the event. The final design featured the global logo on the left chest, with “CDP·UK” and “History Will Not Forget” printed in red on the front. This was the first time the UK Headquarters of the China Democracy Party had unified attire for an event, with veterans from June Fourth and young new members alike donning “battle gear” and wearing white headbands inscribed with “Hunger Strike” and “1989·6·4,” showcasing their unique spirit and fighting passion.
Second, High-Level Democracy within the Party: Thorough Discussion and Consensus Reached for a Lawful Protest
In the week leading up to the event, party members spanning three to four decades of age engaged in a heated discussion about the event’s format. After thoroughly exchanging and colliding ideas—radical, moderate, vengeful, lawful—the consensus was reached to ensure the event’s smooth execution without causing trouble for British police or giving the CCP any ammunition. Advisor Hua Huang reported the event plans to the London police. Acting reasonably and legally has always been the guiding principle of the UK Headquarters of the China Democracy Party.
At 8:30 PM, as night fell in London, members lit candles and observed a moment of silence for the martyrs of the Tiananmen Massacre.
Despite the peaceful and rational non-violent protest by the UK Headquarters of the China Democracy Party, the Chinese Embassy in the UK reacted as if facing a major threat, overreacting significantly. We noticed that the embassy, for the first time, implemented an overnight alert, doubling the guards and having 4 guards on duty in the evening, with 2-3 guards still patrolling at midnight. Some windows remained lit throughout the night, with people occasionally peeking out from behind the curtains. Such actions revealed their inherent cowardice and weakness.
In the frigid early hours, members continued their vigil, mourning the stifled democracy and freedom post-June Fourth.
At 10:30 PM, Advisor Hua Huang, having just participated in the Dam Square commemoration in Amsterdam, drove to the hunger strike site after landing, meeting with Chairman Guanru Wang and delivering three boxes of mineral water to the hunger strikers, encouraging them. He also brought black garbage bags, instructing the hunger strikers to clean up the site before leaving at dawn to maintain cleanliness.
Organizing Team for this Hunger Strike Protest: Yuxuan Guo (Chief Commander), Xuecen Jin, Yaren Li, Lei Yan, Haobo Li, Chenyu Wei. Party Members Participating in the Full Hunger Strike Protest: Yuxuan Guo, Lei Yan, Yaren Li, Haobo Li, Xuecen Jin, Liang Zhou, Weihua Xu, Siyong Zhu, Mingqiang Lin, Xiao Hu, Yiming Wei, Yinghe Wang, Junius Tian, David Chan. Party Members Participating in This Event: Guanru Wang, Hua Huang, Lijun Lin, Kun Liu, Weiliang Yu, Yuxuan Guo, Xuecen Jin, Yaren Li, Lei Yan, Haobo Li, Chenyu Wei, Liuyan Liao, Gang Yu, Fu Zeng, Liang Zhou, Jingtang Li, Qiang Zhao, Jian Wang, Yujun Wang, Xiaofeng Gu, Shuanglin Zhu, Ziming Lan, Xiao Hu, Lingfei Lu, Yiming Wei, Weihua Xu, Mingqiang Lin, Shuai Chi, Siyong Zhu, Yinghe Wang, Junius Tian, Thomas, David Chan, etc.
