今夜為你點燭

brother forever

Last picture of my dear brother (3/27/1964-6/3/1989), first college student in the neighboring villages, graduated from Nanjing Teachers College in 1984, taking a teaching assistant role at the Political Education department. He went to graduate school in 1987 at the People’s University in Beijing. On the 3rd of June, he was shot in the back at Mu Xi Di where the military crackdown of the pro democracy movement started.

May peace and humanity prevail in China and the world of mankind.

今夜為你點燭，
告訴你， 我心依舊痛， 淚還在流。
十九年， 小半個世紀，
走過的人不再記得。

二十六歲的青春噢，
你如一顆璀燦的星，
還沒有到最耀眼的時候，
就被無情的子彈帶走了。
來不及有一過溫暖的家，
來不及施展你的智慧，
就硬生生地被帶走了。

走在異國的大街上，
我為你流淚，想著你。
那樣優秀的你，
你卻再也不能帶著我，
連夢裏也沒有。

今夜為你點燭，
告訴你， 我想你，
在經不住的淚裏，
願你平安，
願你安息。
