After the University of Hong Kong secretly demolished the “Pillar of Shame” Tiananmen memorial on the evening of Dec. 22, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Lingnan University also removed statues and sculptures commemorating the pro-democracy protests on Dec. 24.
The bronze Goddess of Democracy that had stood at CUHK for 12 years was removed by workers dispatched by school authorities in the early morning. On the same day, Lingnan University removed a memorial relief sculpture and covered a Tiananmen Massacre mural.
