May 4 Memorial

The May 4 Memorial honors the students and individuals who protested for political reform in China on May 4, 1919. This movement arose in response to China's dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles and broader nationalist and democratic aspirations. The memorial typically features symbols like lanterns, statues, or plaques, and serves as a reminder of the fight for democracy, freedom, and national sovereignty. It is a place for reflection on the importance of civic activism and the ongoing pursuit of social and political progress in China.
