美國加州“自由雕塑公園”矗立紀念“六四”最大紀念碑



全世界最大的89天安門紀念碑星期六(2月23日)在美國加州落成。據美國之音報道,近200名支持中國民主自由事業的人士從各地趕來出席了當天的揭幕儀式。今年是“六四”大屠殺30周年。六四紀念碑雕塑本身高6.4米,加上2.5米的基座,剛好是8.9米,含義就是紀念89六四。這個公園離中國北京剛好是6400英里,方位傾角是64度。

據美國之音今天報道,為“六四”亡靈打造安息之所,世界最大天安門紀念碑在美國加州落成。
該報道說,全世界最大的89天安門紀念碑星期六(2月23日)在美國加州落成。近200名支持中國民主自由事業的人士從各地趕來出席了當天的揭幕儀式。今年是“六四”大屠殺30周年。
報道說,紀念碑的主體由“64”兩個巨型數字組成,醒目地坐落在連接洛杉磯和拉斯維加斯的15號州際公路旁。
紀念碑的創作者、雕塑家陳維明告訴美國之音,他和幾個朋友合力買下這塊36英畝(218畝)的土地,將把這裡打造成以民主、自由、人權為主題的“自由雕塑公園”,紀念世界各地共產主義受難者的亡靈。

HKFP Lens: Never-before-seen shots from Japan's Fukushima exclusion zone, untouched since 2011

HKFP Lens: Keow Wee Loong entered the exclusion zone without a permit as he became impatient with the bureaucratic process of applying for one. He felt a burning sensation in his eyes and smelled chemicals in the air as he stepped into the deserted town.
The town had remained largely unchanged since the energy crisis. There was little sign of looting as he could find objects such as food, money, gold and laptops in the exclusion zone. [From Jul 2016]

Kim Jong Un Begins Long Train Trek to Vietnam for Trump Summit







It's a scenic route.


Kim is due to meet Trump this week in Hanoi for their second summit after a meeting in June in Singapore, where they agreed to work toward the “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” Progress has sputtered since then, with critics saying the statement failed to spell out how to achieve its key goals.



Trump will meet with Kim one-on-one in Hanoi for a meal and will be joined by aides for lengthier negotiations over North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, U.S. officials said.

On the trip to the Singapore summit, he flew from Pyongyang on a Chinese state-owned airplane two days ahead of the event instead of using a plane from North Korea’s state carrier, which has been banned from some regions due to safety concerns. It was his farthest foray from home since taking office in 2011.
