[2/2]
But only after three months, after the great calamity, did we find our identity – not Hongkongers under British colonization, nor Chinese. We are Hongkongers, and when Hong Kong is in danger, we find our own ways to save it, we motivate ourselves and we cheer for ourselves. We are finally enlightened with our own identity and sense of belonging. It is because of the passion, an undeniable passion which is so intense, that we decide to voice out and stand firm without any hesitation. Until now, the police has arrested over 1100 people, and the abusive arrests will prebail. it is observed that they are running out of strategies, and reach a point that they started resorting to violence so as to intimidate us, the Hongkongers.
The only thing the government does not understand is that we have two-million people, and these two-million people were forced to stand up by the government. Those who had been advocating peaceful protect starts confronting the police or dealing with tear gas with dishes.
The German reporter asked solemnly on our way to leave the scene, “I really can’t believe what I witnessed today. I thought I were in Syria, but this is Hong Kong, an international metropolis. How comes the whole Hong Kong seems to be in war every weekend and it has lasted for three months already. But you can still keep on talking about it as if nothing happened, how is that possible?”
I smiled, somewhat bitter, but also with pride at the same time– “It's the Lion Rock spirit. Because we are Hongkongers."
