尊敬的朋友們、女士們、先生們： 今天是中國北京「六四」慘案37周年紀念日。感謝大家來到這裏，悼念37年前被中國政府殘酷殺害的、和平示威的平民、學生。 我是張先玲，今年88歲，作為死難者家屬和「天安門母親」的成員，我本人並代表「天安門母親」群體，向各位表示衷心的感謝。感謝你們37年來，沒有忘記譴責那場血腥的鎮壓，沒有忘記那些為民請命而喋血街頭的善良的人們！ 那時的中國剛剛改革開放，貪污腐敗也開始滋生。由於物資的價格雙軌制，社會的不公，使得一些有權、有勢、有關係的人大發橫財，貪污腐敗也開始蔓延，而平民百姓則為日益增漲的物價、房價深感憂慮，民怨沸騰，群眾不滿。此時，大學生們毅然站出來，代表民意，以和平示威的方式，敦促政府採取措施，反貪污，反「官倒」。那時對「腐敗」叫「官倒」。因為緊缺物資的價格雙軌制，只有有權、有勢、有關係的人才能倒賣物資，大發橫財，所以把腐敗稱為「官倒」。 學生們的行動得到廣大市民和機關、團體的支持，大家抱著真誠的願望，希望政府採取措施，制止這種現象的泛濫。想不到，當時的執政當局不但不聽群眾的反應，反而動用數十萬野戰軍，荷槍實彈，開著裝甲車，血腥鎮壓了和平示威的平民、學生，以致造成大量人員的傷亡。頃刻之間，成千上萬的家庭遭到致命的打擊。 當時身在北京的人們不會忘記那晚震耳欲聾的槍聲、裝甲車的轟鳴，以及救護車的鳴笛和群眾憤怒的呼喊，我們更不會忘記親人們離家時的身影，誰也想不到，自稱為「人民服務」的政府會下令向人民開槍。 親人們的犧牲，是刻在我們心中永不會磨滅的傷痛。淚水已經流盡，悲傷埋在心底，留下的是對親人永遠的懷念，是對屠殺人民罪行的痛恨。這些更加強了我們抗爭的決心，加強了我們爭取對「六四」慘案遇難者公平、公正的評價，和按法律程序道歉、賠償的決心。 現在資訊十分發達，只要想了解真相，網上有大量學生、平民和平示的場面，和屠殺示威者的血淋淋的現場資料，非常全面。 作為一個號稱「法治」的大國，執政當局和最高民意代表機構——全國人大，應該勇敢地面對以往的罪行，採取對話的方式，逐步解決「六四」這個繞不開的坎。 我們作為難屬，必須要「說出真相、拒絕遺忘、尋求正義、呼喚良知」，為親人們討還公道，以告慰遇難者的在天之靈！ 遇難者王楠母親：張先玲 2026年6月4日

「天安門母親」群體代表歷年「六四」講話：     • 「天安門母親」群體成員講話  ​

June 4, 2026 Speech by Zhang Xianling, Member of the Tiananmen Mothers, on the 37th Anniversary of June 4th Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, Today marks the 37th anniversary of the June 4th massacre in Beijing, China. Thank you all for coming here to mourn the civilians and students who were demonstrating peacefully but brutally murdered by the Chinese government 37 years ago. I am Zhang Xianling, 88 years old this year. As a family member of a victim and a member of the Tiananmen Mothers, I, on behalf of the Tiananmen Mothers, would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you all. Thank you for not forgetting to condemn that bloody crackdown over the past 37 years, and for not forgetting those kind people who shed their blood in the streets to speak out for the people! At that time, China had just begun its reform and opening up, and corruption was beginning to take root. Due to the dual-track pricing system and social injustice, some people with power, influence and connections amassed great wealth, and corruption began to spread. Meanwhile, ordinary people were deeply worried about the ever-increasing prices and housing costs, leading to widespread public resentment and discontent. At this critical moment, university students resolutely stood up, representing the will of the people, and through peaceful demonstrations, urged the government to take measures against corruption and ‘official profiteering’. At that time, ‘corruption’ was called ‘official profiteering’. Because of the dual-track pricing system for scarce goods, only those with power, influence and connections could resell goods and make a fortune, therefore corruption was referred to as ‘official profiteering’. The students' actions received widespread support from citizens, government agencies, and organizations. Everyone sincerely hoped that the government would take measures to stop the rampant of this phenomenon. Unexpectedly, the ruling authorities not only ignored the public's concerns, instead they deployed hundreds of thousands of heavily armed field troops in armored vehicles to brutally suppress the peaceful demonstrations of civilians and students, resulting in numerous casualties. In an instant, thousands of families suffered devastating blows. Those of us in Beijing at the time will never forget the deafening gunfire, the roar of armored vehicles, the sirens of ambulances, and the angry shouts of the crowds that night. We will never forget the silhouette of our loved ones when they left home. No one could have imagined that a government that claimed to ‘serve the people’ would order the shooting of its own people. The sacrifice of our loved ones is an indelible wound etched in our hearts. Our tears have run dry, and our sorrow is buried deep within, leaving only eternal remembrance of our loved ones and profound hatred for the crimes committed against the people. These experiences have strengthened our resolve to resist, to fight for a fair and just evaluation of the victims of the June 4th Massacre, and to demand an apology and compensation through legal procedures. Information is now readily available. If you want to know the truth, there is a wealth of comprehensive information online, including scenes of peaceful demonstrations by students and civilians, as well as graphic accounts of the massacres of protesters. As a major country that prides itself on the ‘rule of law’, the National People's Congress, the ruling authority and the highest representative body of the people’s will, should bravely confront past crimes and adopt dialogue to gradually resolve the unavoidable hurdle of June 4th. As the families of the victims, we must ‘speak the truth, refuse to forget, seek justice, and call upon conscience’ for our loved ones and comfort the souls of the victims in heaven!
