    Why is 6/4 a refence to the 4th of June when China doesn’t use that date format?

      In Chinese, we usually read out a date with year first, month latter and days after it. For example, if it’s 4/6/1989 , we would say 一九八九年六月四日 (year 1989, June, day 4). I think there’s not any relation with date format we use.
