As I walked around Xining, Qinghai province, on this thirty-fifth day of May, I noticed that at these various shopping areas:
Life seemed to be going on as usual. But when I looked upon Xining's peaceful Central Square:
And later in one of Xining's major shopping districts saw police, one openly holding a large gun:
I thought of some recently shared photos from 23 years ago of soldiers in Beijing. Later, I pondered China's curious stock market numbers and the various extensions of censorship in China on this day.
For now, I will simply share a photo of these candles I saw several months ago at a temple in Zhuhai's Bailian Dong Park:
Regardless of who is to blame and why such a terrible event occurred, they remind me of the lights that went out 23 years ago.
