Suspension of service in early June
editDuring troop movements in 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, A1 Exit of Muxidi Station was closed on the grounds of repairing.[4]
- On June 2, 2014, Beijing Subway declared that A1 Exit and A2 Exit of Muxidi Station will be closed from June 3 (Tuesday) to a future date via Weibo.[4]
- On June 2, 2015, Beijing Subway declared close of doors again. Reporters from Ming Pao found that they can't reply that Weibo post and other replies are invisible.[5]
- On June 3, 2016, Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corporation Limited declared that A1 Exit and A2 Exit will be closed from Today 15:00 (June 3) to a future date via Weibo. This message can not be replied.[6]
- On June 3, 2017, A1 Exit and A2 Exit is 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 A1 Exit and A2 Exit will be closed from June 3, 2018, 12:00 to last train of Muxidi Station via Weibo.[8]
- On June 2, 2019, Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corporation Limited declared that A1 Exit and A2 Exit will be closed from June 3 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 meanings of these measures are to prevent Tiananmen Mothers members from eulogizing the dead during the protest.[4]
