Riot Police Show Up to Disrupt Mourning for Leung
23:28 | Pacific Place, #Admiralty
Riot police charged forward towards the altar where flowers were placed.
23:30 |
Police shouted at everyone, including reporters, to leave the altar. The riot police also warned, "We gave everyone enough time!" and told people who are not reporters to leave.
23:34 |
A reporter asked riot police to stop flashing their strong flashlights at people. Police become unhinged and uncontrollable. Some of them knocked their their shields on the floor to make loud noises, in order to intimidate the people around.
23:36 |
Reporters continued to retreat and pointed out that they did not know where the "appropriate place" that the police advised them to go to was.

Riot Police Show Up to Disrupt Mourning for Leung
23:32 | Pacific Place, #Admiralty
This video shows the mannerism of the riot police as they rushed on site to force civilians and reporters to leave.
At one point, a noticeable agitated police officer gave a contradiciting instruction to the people at the scene, yelling at them to "Walk forward", while his colleague holding on to the microphone and the loudspeaker was instructing the people to "Walk backwards".

Never Forget 6/15
黑夜盡處有著黎明，
每一個香港人走過日子，
每一步也盡是刻骨銘心，
不知道燈火的終點在哪，
但我們都會一起走下去，
前行有你，
背後有我。
The dawn always arrives at the end of the darkest night.
For each day HongKongers have gone through,
Each step is unforgettable.
Without knowing where the light ends,
We’ll still walk alongside in solidarity.
When you walk on ahead,
I follow closely behind.

15th June 2020
有些不值遺忘的事總會被人遺忘
有些希望能遺忘的事總難以遺忘
香港人並不善忘
他們只不想回望
或受現實所迫
忽視了身邊的美好
Sometimes, things worth remembering are forgotten.
Sometimes, things that we wish to forget stay in our minds forever.
Hongkongers are not forgetful.
They just wish not to remember,
Or might have missed something along the way.
When they are going through the routine of their busy lives.
Editor's Note: Every one of the 36 white flowers in the background were taken individually by our reporter. Each white flower shows our undying remembrance and our sheer determination to fight on and tide through this difficult time.

A poem in memory of Mr Leung Ling-kit
Mr Leung Ling-kit, sacrificed himself on 15/06/2019 trying to stop the Extradition Bill get pass.
"They will never understand
We are impossible to 'restart'
Last year today
He went on his path
And never came back"
We will never forget you, two millions plus one.
Your silhouette sealed in our hearts.
We will keep fighting until glory to Hong Kong.

Hongkongers have evolved through the past year
The boy holding the tailgate sign at the end of the line was a university student, reporters found him when the queue started to shorten at 23:00, pointing all the live camera at him, while he bashfully held up a handwritten card to ask the reporters not to film his appearance. The reporters came up to ask for his thought and the time when he started tailgating, he said that he arrived at 17:00 and started to be “Mr Tailgating” as he found the situation a bit messy, instructing people where to line up for paying their respects from 18:00 to 23:00. When Siu Wan (a journalist) asked for his thought on the movement, he suddenly stood up straight and said, “I think we don’t need to wait for people to start activities online, if we want to participate in any activity, just do it.” (main idea)
I was more interested in the origin of his paper, he chuckled and said, “It’s just lecture notes.” Oh, so he’s a student of Kuo Way. I bet this page of lecture notes from mechanical engineering would not know that it had not only transferred knowledge, but become the guiding light of tens of thousands of Hongkongers tonight.
It’s all thanks to the (government’s) strong suppression on all the (activity) organizations last year. “No cross (with cross being the chill to the bones in the Chinese version of this saying), no crown (with crown being the civic maturity of Hong Kong)”, and last year was a Siberian chill, training Hong Kong to become an absolutely mature civil society which is astonishingly neat. A spontaneous memorial with tens of thousands of people paying their respects has only overflown one trash can, and there wasn’t even a piece of paper bigger than a fingernail on the ground, which is a huge improvement from the Occupy Movement in 2014.
When I talked to other reporters today, we all had the feeling that our comrades were not only back in place tonight, but also evolved since last time. But as the citizens have matured, the regime keep shrinking the room allowed for civic maturity, while RTHK, Foo Tak Building and Hong Kong Alliance are going to be broken down one by one. While the civic energy can no longer be pressed, how will this Summer of Freedom 2.0 go on?
I am worried.
PS: Listening to “Sing Hallelujah To The Lord” again makes me emotional as it feels like a lifetime ago, as I haven’t been listening to it for a year. Before the National Security Law, we probably all need to sing hallelujah to the lord to ask God to keep us safe. Amen.

13 Months On: Yellow Raincoat Man Remembered
20:49 | Pacific Place, #Admiralty
It has been 13 months since the death of Leung Ling-kit (more affectionately known as the Yellow Raincoat man), who is considered to be the first martyr of the anti-extradition movement.
Groups of people from all Walls of life have made their way down to the site of his death to place flowers in memory and tribute to him.
An illuminated light box depicting an illustration of a yellow raincoat was also hung on the tree where the flowers were being placed.
Last year, Leung's death sparked off a peaceful protest that involved 2 million participants making an appeal to the government to withdraw the extradition bill. This demonstration has made it to the books as Hong Kong's biggest demonstration up to date.
It may have already been more than a year since Leung's departure, but he will forever be remembered as an important figure in the movement.

17 months ago on June 15, 2019, "Yellow Raincoat Man" Marco Leung Ling-kit took his life, by jumping off from the rooftop of a shopping mall, in protest of the extradition bill, which Carrie Lam refused to withdraw despite million-strong protest marches and violent clashes outside the legislature.
On the 17-month mark tonight, citizens returned to the spot where Leung fell and paid respect to him, as they have been doing every month.
Leung's death last June shocked the city, and was remembered as the first martyr who took their own life to protest against the extradition bill, which, sadly, claimed several more lives before Carrie Lam finally withdrew it months later.
His yellow raincoat bears slogans decrying police brutality against protesters and accusing Carrie Lam for "killing Hong Kong". It has become one of the symbols for the anti-ELAB movement. A replica was hung at the memorial site tonight, where citizens placed white flowers and lit candles in his remembrance.
Posters at the scene also called for attention to the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers who have been captured and are now detained in China without outside contact for nearly 3 months.
Like Yellow Raincoat Man, Hongkongers would not forget the sacrifices they made, nor the pain they endured.
