During the Concert for Democracy in China, many Hong Kong stars were unable to lend their support in person. However, via long-distance phone and the large screens at the event, they expressed their support for the 1989 democracy movement. Stars who did so included Andy Lau Tak-Wah, Chow Yun-Fat, Alan Tam Wing-Lun, Shing Fui-On, Loletta Lee Lai-Chun, Chin Siu-Ho, Maggie Cheung Man-Yuk, Sharon Kwok Sau-Wan, Cheung Kwok-Keung, George Lam Tse-Cheung, Deanie Ip Tak-han, Gigi Wong Suk-Yee, Wendy Yu Man-Sze, and others.
六四抗爭中來自香港的聲援和捐贈,鎮壓之後的「黃雀行動」逃生通道,以及持續30年風雨不改的維園燭光集會,讓香港恍若黑暗天空中的一道閃電,給抗爭者帶來力量和希望。同時,香港的參與、救助和持續兩代人的紀念,本身也稱為獨立的抗爭運動,經歷了從發起、傳承到打壓的過程,並與香港本地的民主運動,逐漸同呼吸共命運。本館兩條敘事線:援救六四與自我抗爭。援救即是抗爭,抗爭才能援救。
