Kind of backfired imo. I had no idea this existed before they wanted to demolish it. It's a tiananmen square statue for those who don't know

A famous statue at the University of Hong Kong marking the Tiananmen Square massacre was removed late on Wednesday. The Pillar of Shame statue showed piled-up corpses to commemorate pro-democracy protesters killed by Chinese authorities in 1989. It was one of the few remaining public memorials in Hong Kong commemorating the incident, which is a highly sensitive topic in China. Its removal comes as Beijing has increasingly been cracking down on political dissent in Hong Kong.
