【新唐人2011年10月25日讯】“考虑参选”香港特首的前政务司长唐英年，日前首度回应六四事件，指称这是“个别事件”，并回避谈到“六四”二字，受到香港各界抨击，连媒体也几乎一面倒批评唐英年的“标准答案”。
唐英年23号出席教协举办的“香港教育及前景论坛”时，三度被台下教师问及对六四事件及内地维权人士被关押的看法，他没有正面回应，全程打太极，将六四事件形容为“个别事件”。
唐英年：“在内地发展当中，有很多方面大家认为有不足之处，这个可以理解的，大家对个别的事件有一些感受，我都是明白，我也希望大家做一个宏观的角度，所谓站的高、望的远，我们看到国家几十年来遇到挑战的时候如何克服。”
唐英年形容六四事件为“个别事件”，引起香港各界的喧然大波，不仅香港支联会批评他是在为北京“擦鞋”，经历六四的民运人士也认为，这等于是在伤口上撒盐。
六四伤残人士方政：“六四不是一个个别事件。当然它只是中共这么多年统治大陆造成的一系列悲剧惨剧中的一个。”
民运人士郑存柱表示，他记得唐英年和前特首董建华在六四当年都参加过抗议，并刊登过反对镇压、要求中国民主化的广告。
民运人士郑存柱：“现在呢时过境迁了，在这样一个地位里面呢，他们就不能够再把自己真实的想法表达出来。香港人从选举特首，或者是政府官呢，他们的发言就知道，根本就没有所谓的‘港人治港’，香港的这种政府官的言论也要受到中共的影响，他不敢发表自己内心真实的想法。”
除唐英年之外，另一位热门人选梁振英曾形容六四事件为“悲剧”，但说自己不知道真相。
而范徐丽泰10月初在公开场合说，对六四事件不知情，引发社会反弹。支联会要求她收回言论及公开道歉。六四天安门母亲丁子霖则在17号发表对范徐丽泰的抗议信。
《明报》24号引用香港理工大学应用社会科学系助理教授钟剑华的话说，梁、范至少敢说六四是“悲剧”及“不幸”，但唐英年却以国家经济发展去合理化六四事件，这种答案最令人反感。
六四伤残人士方政：“他如果和中央保持一致，那么我想和广大的香港市民，中国大陆的人民，全世界人民的这种认识还是有一点差距和不同的。我希望他重视到这一点。”
香港第四任行政长官的选举，不实行由普选产生的办法，唐英年和梁振英都属于亲共阵营。《苹果日报》嘲讽六四事件有如政客的“照妖镜”。
实际上，六四常被用来检视香港政治人物有没有良知的标准，香港特首曾荫权最近一次在立法会新大楼与议员们合照时，便遭到四位议员的拒绝，还有三位议员现场穿上“平反六四”T-shirt，用来抗议曾荫权对六四的态度。
准备筹组工党的三位议员何秀兰、李卓人及梁耀忠，特别换上黑色的六四T恤与曾荫权合照，表示希望让六四这段历史永远挂在立法会的墙上。
曾荫权曾在09年立法会答问大会上，暗示香港人已经不再纠缠于六四，并一度声称他“代表所有香港人的意见”，引起民主派议员强烈抗议。
香港是中国土地上唯一可以公开纪念六四的地方，自89年来每年都举行集会。民众的关注使得对于六四的态度成为每届特首候选人的“必答问题”，和考验候选人立场的“试金石”。

Henry Tang: June 4th Incident is an “Isolated Incident"
Henry Tang, a candidate
in the Hong Kong Chief Executive election,
and the former Chief Secretary for Administration,
recently talked about the June 4th Incident for the first time,
describing it as an “isolated incident"
and avoiding mentioning the words “June 4th".
Tang’s remarks were denounced by Hong Kong social circles.
Even the media showed a landslide criticism of
his “standard answer".
On October 23, when Henry Tang attended the “Forum on
Hong Kong Education and Prospects", he was asked three
times about his views of the June 4th Incident and the activists
being detained by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) authorities.
Tang did not give a clear answer, describing
the June 4th Incident as an “isolated incident."
In a statement Henry Tang said: “It is understandable that there
existed some imperfections with mainland China’s development.
I know all your feelings about some individual events.
But I hope that all of you adopt a macroscopic view,
the so-called “the one who stands higher takes a broader view.”
We have seen how the nation overcome the challenges
for the past decades.”
Reporter: Henry Tang described the June 4th Incident as an
“isolated incident" and created a furor among all social circles in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements
in China, criticized him for polishing shoes for the Beijing regime.
Pro-democracy activists who experienced the June 4th Incident,
also commented that Henry Tang is pouring vinegar upon nitre.
Fang Zheng (Victim of June 4th Incident): “The June 4th Incident
is not an isolated incident.
It is certainly one of a series of tragedies made by the CCP
authorities during its years of reign over mainland China. ”
A pro-democracy activist, Zheng Cunzhu, said that he
remembered both Henry Tang and Tung Chee-hwa,
former Chief Executive, participating in the June 4th Incident
protests and published advertising of protests against CCP’s
suppression and demanding democratization in China.
Zheng Cunzhu (Pro-democracy activist): “Now time has changed,
with such positions, they would not express their true thoughts.
From the election of Chief Executive to Hong Kong government
officials, their speeches told us that there is no so-called
‘Hong Kong people administer for Hong Kong.’
Even Hong Kong officials’ remarks have been affected
by the CCP authorities.
They dare not express their true inner thoughts."
Besides Henry Tang, another hot candidate,
Leung Chun-ying, described June 4th Incident as
a “tragedy", but also said that he did not know the truth.
Earlier this October, Rita Fan Hsu Lai Tai publicly stated
that she did not know about the June 4th Incident,
provoking the public’s fury.
Hong Kong Alliance asked her to withdraw the remarks and apologize in public.
On October 17th, Tiananmen Mother Ding Zilin published
a letter of protest.
On October 24, Hong Kong’s newspaper Ming Pao quoted
Chung Kim-wah, an assistant professor at
Hong Kong Polytechnic University, as saying that,
at least Leung and Rita Fan dared to say the
June 4th Incident is a “tragedy" and “unfortunate".
But Henry Tang used the country’s economic development
as an excuse to rationalize the June 4th Incident,
making his reply most disgusting.
Fang Zheng (Victim of June 4th Incident): “If he keeps
compliant with the CCP,, then there is a gap and difference
between his understanding and that ofthe majority of the
Hong Kong people, mainland Chinese people and people around the world.
I hope he can notice this point. ”
The fourth Hong Kong Chief Executive will not be selected
by universal suffrage.
Both Henry Tang and Leung Chun-ying are all pro-CCP.
Apple Daily lampooned that the June 4th Incident is
like a “demon-exposing mirror" to politicians.
Reporter: “In reality, the June 4th Incident is often used
to observe Hong Kong politicians for their consciences.
Recently, Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang was
rejected by four legislative councillors for taking a group photo with him.
Another three councillors on site, put on T-shirts written with
the wording: “Demand official rehabilitation of June 4th
Tiananmen movement”, to protest Tsang’s attitude towards June 4th Incident.
Three legislative councillors Hon Cyd Ho, Lee Cheuk-yan,
and Leung Yiu-chung, who are preparing to form the
New Labor Party, put on black T-shirts on purpose to
take photo’s with Donald Tsang, expressing that
they hope the history of June 4th Incident will be
hung on the wall in the Legislative Council forever.
At the 2009 question-and-answers session in Legco,
Donald Tsang hinted that Hong Kong people are no longer
dwelling on the June incident.
He once claimed that he was representing “all Hong Kong people’s views",
causing strong protests from the pro-democratic councillors.
Hong Kong is the only land in China to publicly commemorate
the June 4th Incident.
Since 1989, a rally has been held each year.
Due to the public’s attention, how to view the
June 4th Incident becomes a “required question”
for every Chief Executive, and a “Touchstone” for
testing a candidate’s position.
