Rose Tang is a New York-based Chinese human rights new media activist, artist and a survivor of the Tiananmen Massacre. Rose Tang, this week’s speaker at Cafe Philo @ NY, has long been involved in struggles to improve human rights. Tang will share with us her experience of participating in the Tiananmen Movement and her dramatic escape from Tiananmen Massacre as a student protester. She’ll talk about the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of this historic landmark for the last 26 years and the efforts by the Chinese people to keep the memories alive and to carry on the ideals of the Tiananmen Generation. Tang will tell us how ordinary people, activists and human rights lawyers in China, including those currently in detention or in exile, have been inspired by the spirit of Tiananmen and how they have managed to openly commemorate anniversaries of the massacre inside China.

In the talk, Tang will stress the importance of fighting against the Chinese Communist Party dictatorship, and how this fight is connected with the freedom, democracy and independence of Hong Kong and Taiwan。
