SYDNEY, Mar.27 (People’s Daily Online)-The Lindt cafe in Sydney, Australia reopened on March 20, after a siege at the cafe three months ago.

The cafe had its reopening with Joel Herat, one of the survivors of the siege, back at work. Two plaques, in the honor of the employee, Tori Johnson, and customer, Katrina Dawson who died in the siege, were put up at the front door entrance. A note on a flower bouquet outside the entrance read, "The light shines in the darkness and darkness has never put it out."

On December 15, 2014, the cafe was taken hostage by a gunman, Man Haron Monis. The siege lasted for over sixteen hours until the gunman was taken down.
