Famous ‘Goddess of Democracy’ Statue to Commemorate Tiananmen Square Massacre Removed in Hong Kong by Communist Overlords
“The Goddess of Democracy” was carved by students from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in China and erected in Tiananmen Square during the democracy protests in 1989.
The “Goddess of Liberty” statue was seen here surrounded by flags representing various Chinese universities. This was taken before the government sent tanks and troops into the square and started firing on the hundreds of student protesters.
The sacrifices of the brave democracy protesters was not forgotten.
Students in Hong Kong later erected a Goddess of Democracy statue in the city center. Hong Kong democracy protesters would hold massive rallies every year on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4th.
