At the 2026 June Fourth commemoration, I spoke about the challenges young Chinese dissidents face today: transnational repression, threats to our families, online harassment, fear, isolation, and the quiet psychological impact that builds over time.
I also sang The Orphan of Asia. Although the song comes from Taiwan’s history, its sense of being abandoned by history, the state, and identity deeply resonated with our generation of exiles and dissidents.
I hope that one day, there will be a June Fourth Museum in Tiananmen — because this history belongs in public space, and in the public memory of the people.
