HONG KONG, CHINA - FEBRUARY 10,2018: The University of Hong Kong " Pillar of Shame" statue in the campus courtyard. The Pillar of Shame was erected in 1997 to mark the eighth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square incident in Beijing and has become a focal point for the pro democracy movement on campus. Created by Danish artist Jens Galschiot, the Pillar of Shame is part of a series of four sculptures, each signifying a major tragedy. Hong Kong’s Pillar showcases 50 intertwined bodies, representing those who lost their lives in China’s 1989 Tiananmen Square Russell/Alamy Stock Photo
