The "Hong Kong Way" of Celebrating New Year
“The Hong Kong Way”, which drew its inspiration from the "Baltic Way", was held across Hong Kong today. In Kowloon Bay, Tseung Kwan O, Tuen Mun, Central, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok, citizens held their hands as a symbol of solidarity. Some chanted protest slogans; others commemorated important events. In Tseung Kwan O, over a hundred citizens stood in silence for the deceased Alex Chow Chi-lok, a student of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, who was killed due to police delaying his rescue.
Police across Hong Kong responded in different ways. In Central and Causeway Bay, cordon lines were set up while mass stop-and-search was conducted on pedestrians, particularly those black-clad. A journalist even sighted a passer-by wearing black clothes being immediately taken behind the cordon lines. Many more riot police were stationed across major intersections, shopping malls and train stations.

This is the same cry in the wearying darkness. Despite the deepening menace, the protestors still chanted, loud and unafraid, calling forth the Golden Sun to purge away the looming gloom, upon the waxing Moon to light their path. "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times!"

Police Suddenly Retreat as Religious Ceremony to Bring Peace to the Deceased Starts
December 31 marks not just the New Year's Eve, but also 4 months after the police indiscriminate attack on train passengers at Prince Edward Station on August 31.
Despite the police denial, it is widely believed by the public that civilians had been killed by the police that day and death cases had since then been covered up. This also explains the worry of the public over body discovery cases in the city--the police often claim there is nothing suspicious, even when they were 'disappearance cases' or 'suicide cases' without note.
At 23:03 on December 31, police suddenly retreated from Prince Edward. Many believed it was because the religious ceremony to comfort the victims of police brutality was starting.
