Leaders of the June 4th student movement, Wang Dan, Hu Ping, Yu Dahai, Liu Nianchun, and other initiators of the June Fourth Memorial Hall preparatory committee attended the press conference.
Wang Dan stated, “Since initiating the initiative to establish a June Fourth Memorial Hall in New York this January, we have received a large amount of donations and support from the outside world. Not long ago, an anonymous individual donated $120,000 through relevant channels, which has already been received. As of today, the Preparatory Committee has received nearly 520,000 yuan in donations, achieving the second phase fundraising target 17 months ahead of schedule. ”
“In accordance with the commitments in the initiative, we will immediately begin searching for a venue, interior decoration, collecting artifacts, and discussing exhibition content. To ensure the June Fourth Memorial Hall finds a place to be permanently preserved, we call on everyone to continue supporting it, making the Memorial Hall a permanent landmark for overseas Chinese communities, embodying our ‘Never Forget, Never Give Up’ spirit of ’89.’ ”
