A post celebrating 8964 graduates by Lanzhou University, one of China's top universities, on their official social media account sparked controversy due to the sensitivity of the number '8964,' which closely resembles the date of the June 4th Tiananmen Square incident in 1989, a term the Chinese Communist Party forbids. This coincidence led to widespread attention from the local community. Netizens commented on the situation, with many suggesting that the university leadership would face consequences for the oversight, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny and control on sensitive political terms in China.
