Freedom-Loving Hongkongers Demonstrate #Perseverance On the Rocky Road to Democracy
Near midnight, a man in black stood alone at Sai Yeung Choi Street in Mongkok, supporting a yellow helmet with a rod high up in the air.
He stood alone in silence.

#Hongkongers create human chain and cheer “May Glory to Hong Kong” amidst white terror and #CCP grip
In Hong Kong, on New Year's eve (December 31, 2021), many citizens went up to the #LionRock to count down to the year 2022. Among them, some brought neon light signs that read “GLORY HK” and “FREE HK”.
While some citizens on the site were occupied taking pictures, others lighted up their handphones to form a human chain. Just like the pro-democracy “Hong Kong Way” demonstration in 2019, a line of human chain was soon created, displaying the outline of Lion Rock with the light from the mobile phones.
Together Hongkongers counted down and cheered “May glory to Hong Kong” to welcome 2022.

On the hilltop, some elderly walked by and uttered words of encouragement to the youngsters, “hang on,” “don’t give up”, while others passed on drinks to them.
Down the hill, some citizens raised laser pointers and pointed towards the hill top to echo and show their support.
[Editors' notes: Inspired by the Baltic human chain in 1989, the “Hong Kong Way” was organized by pro-democracy HongKongers in August 2019 during the #AntiELAB Movement.
The human chain expresses Hongkongers' yearning for freedom and basic human rights. Tens of thousands of Hongkongers lined up on pavements, overpasses, waterfronts and parks, snaking a line of nearly 30 miles (50km) long through Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

【留下來的人 除夕夜獅子山倒數 GLORY HK FREE HK】
昨晚除夕夜新年倒數，有不少市民到獅子山頂迎新年。亦有市民自備燈牌，包括「GLORY HK」、「FREE HK」。有在場其他市民幫手舉起拍照留念，亦有行山人士開著手機電筒燈，形成一條手機燈人鏈，重現兩年前獅子山上燈海畫面。倒數時，獅子山山頂的人一齊大叫「願榮光歸香港」。
行山人士互相打氣，氣氛融洽。有較年長的行山人士鼓勵年青人「撐住呀」、「留命呀」。最後有行山人士贈送幾支寶礦力給予舉燈牌的人。
期間獅子山下的居民不時用雷射筆照射上獅子山頂。…

#ChowHangTung References #TiananmenMassacre Against Accusations by Hong Kong Authorities
On January 4, 2022, Hong Kong court found Barrister Chow Hang-tung, chairperson of the Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, guilty of "inciting others to join an unauthorized assembly" in 2020 — being the annual June 4th vigil in Victoria Park. The Alliance has been the organizer of the annual candlelight vigil in Hong Kong in commemoration of the victims of the June 4 Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing since 1989.
West Kowloon Magistrate Amy Chan made the ruling according to a newspaper article and two social media posts published by Chow. Chow was sentenced to 15 months in jail. In addition to the sentence for another June 4 case, Chow will be jailed for 22 months in total.
As Chow defended herself, her speech won applause from the attendees of the court session.
Chow pointed out how commemorating June 4 was turned from the "bottomline of conscience" to a "dangerous red line". Following the removal https://bit.ly/3zoJArf June 4 related monuments and the closure of Stand News and Citizen News, this left no room to publicly talk about the 1989 June 4 Tiananmen Massacre. Nevertheless, Chow said that she believes in the power of words, "Words have life which cannot be determined by the authorities nor the court." Chow said she would continue to speak up, regardless of the sentence.
In her conclusive statement, Chow cited the testimonies of the families of the Tiananmen Massacre and recounted how military tanks ran over civilians and pro-democracy protesters on the streets of Beijing in 1989. The judge interrupted Chow, questioning the relevance to the case. Chow said the victims of the Tiananmen Massacre are the victims of the case, "their voices should be heard in court more than mine."
The attendees of the court session applaused, while the judge ordered the police to "mark down their names and ID card numbers."
Chow concluded, "those who should plead for forgiveness are those executioners who destroyed families and those who called the Pillar of Shame ugly." Chow said she will preserve the candle of June 4 and bear the consequence of white terror.
