Trying to get into Tiananmen Square 8:56pm on 04 Jun 2009 I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the beautiful candle lit vigil in Hong Kong where over 100,000 people came out to commemorate the lives of their slain compatriots 20 years ago.

Wishing to commemorate the lives of hundreds of unarmed people who were needlessly murdered is not part of some Western orientated plot to overthrow the Chinese government (as the 50 centers continually obsess about) but instead about demanding for accountabilty of the government and justice for the victims.

Ping fan liu si....
Your top 10 4:58pm on 09 Jun 2008 I have to say I do not envy Liu Xiang and the pressure he must be under ahead of the Olympics. It would be great to see him win gold especially since he's not a product of the state run "athlete farms." (My own phrase to describe the crazy ordeal many Chinese athletes have undergone from a very young age to become successful Olympians.) He seems like a great bloke (I know people who have worked with him and attest to that) who has sacrificed so much for a sport he genuinly loves.

Since you became the Beijing correspondant I now get regular messages from people at work, family members etc saying they heard me on the radio or saw my report. Funny considering we don't look or sound like each other!

Great list and keep up the good work! Regards from the other James Reynolds in China (based in Shanghai.)
