\u2026The Sina Weibo clampdown claimed a number of seemingly anodyne terms and images, including the emoticon of a candle that is usually available to users. It also claimed \u201cVictoria Park,\u201d the site in Hong Kong of an annual memorial to the event. It also claimed the number 35 because users hoping to fool censors sometimes refer to the June 4 event as May 35.<\/p>\n

\u201cSay nothing,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cEveryone understands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Users still found ways to discuss the event. Some began quoting a poem by ninth century literary figure Li Shangyin that includes the lines \u201cA spring silkworm spins its thread until its dying day \/ A candle\u2019s tears do not dry until it has burned down to ash.\u201d The line is an apparent reference to the disappearance of the candle icon as well as the blocking of the term \u201ccandle,\u201d though the poem uses an older character for that word that wasn\u2019t yet blocked Monday afternoon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
