Suspension of service in early June
[edit]During troop movements in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, many people were killed at Muxidi. Muxidi Station is often suspended about June 4 these years. For example:
- On June 3, 2013, Exit A1 of Muxidi Station was closed on the grounds of repair.[4]
- On June 2, 2014, Beijing Subway declared that Exits A1 and A2 of Muxidi Station would be closed from June 3 (Tuesday) to a future date via Weibo.[4]
- On June 2, 2015, Beijing Subway declared that it would close its doors again. Reporters from Ming Pao found that they couldn't reply to Weibo posts and other replies are invisible.[5]
- On June 3, 2016, Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corporation Limited declared that Exits A1 and A2 would be closed from 15:00 (June 3) to a future date via Weibo. This message can not be replied to.[6]
- On June 3, 2017, Exits A1 and A2 were closed. Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corporation Limited didn't post any message but made a station broadcast on the grounds of "Temporary construction".[7]
- On June 1, 2018, Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corporation Limited declared that Exits A1 and A2 would be closed from June 3, 2018, at 12:00 to the last train of Muxidi Station via Weibo.[8]
- On June 2, 2019, Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corporation Limited declared that Exits A1 and A2 will be closed from June 3 at 10:00 to a future date via Weibo.[9]
- The station exits weren't closed in early June 2020. Reporters of Now News noticed that there were plainclothes police, but fewer than before, stationed around the station.[10]
Chinese activist Hu Jia believes that the meaning of these measures is to prevent Tiananmen Mothers members from eulogizing the dead during the protest.[4]
