Kwun Tong District Councillor Eason Chan Yik-Shun is also this year's graduates of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK).
He said that Hongkongers were unable to express their feelings toward the pro-democracy movement, since the police have prohibited all marches and rallies in the past six months.
Eason Chan hoped the march at CUHK on Nov 19, 2020 could bring enthusiasm to the fight for freedom in society and remind everyone that “the [pro-democracy] movement is not finished.”
Eason Chan pointed out that the young generation of Hong Kong lost all hope and confidence to the future, owing to police brutality and injustice imposed by the Department of Justice (#DOJ). However, he believed that Hongkongers would continue to fight: “This is our home. We'll die, if we stop.”
Chan emphasised, “Many young people still have committment to Hong Kong". Chan also pointed out that the graduates' participation in the march showed that they would continue to come out and are not scared of being arrested.
Some parents also participated in the march on Nov 19, 2020. Apple, the mother of a CUHK student, said that she couldn’t stand still and let the authorities suppress the youths.
“As a parent, I have to come out and back them [young people] up,” she said. She felt heartbreaking to see how the students had sacrificed for the fight for democracy in the past year and all the casualties in the movement.
Apple hopes that the next generation can "enjoy freedom and live in Hong Kong safely". She reiterated that one shod not give up the fight in Hong Kong in face of the suppression by the Chinese Community Party (#CCP).

Former Director of HK Observatory Refuses to be Government's Collaborator
In mid-2018, former Director of the Hong Kong Observatory, Lam Chiu-yin took up the Convenor position for the Support group on Long-team Decarbonization Strategy group of Hong Kong Sustainability Committee, responsible for public consultation of the Strategy.
In mid-November 2020, the committee announced result of public consultation and related recommendations. Lam, however, didn’t attend the announcement event. He posted on social media that he has resigned from the position in September.
He told reporters that in this “unfinished two-year tenure”, he found that the government did not want to listen to public opinion. Lam said, “some members of concerning authority do not take public consultation seriously. They use the Support Group to back up government views. I do not want to be involved in the muddle.”
Lam, therefore, decided not to take up any public position in the future.

【周日人物】斥諮詢非真心聽民意 辭任減碳小組召集人 拒盲撐政府 林超英:不同流合污 - 20201129 - 港聞
【明報專訊】2018年中,天文台前台長林超英上任可持續發展委員會長遠減碳策略支援小組召集人,負責長遠減碳策略公眾諮詢。今年11月中,委員會公布諮詢結果及建議報告,林超英沒有現身記者會,他在社交平台交代,今年9月底已辭任小組召集人,不會為報告的建議負責。71歲的林超英當了半生公務員,至2009年退休,之後獲政府委任多個環保公職,這次卻不能「善終」。他接受本報專訪時說,在兩年多「未完的任期」,發現政府沒有真心聽市民聲音,「行政機關部分人唔當諮詢係諮詢,小組存在只係支持政府交出嘅文件,我唔可以同流合污」。他決定不會再擔任公職。

To those with #conscience, thank you for glowing in the dark
People always say the university is a miniature society; and even at the university, a free and fair election is impossible in Hong Kong.
On Feb 25, 2021, the management of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) accused the newly elected students' union #Syzygia of potentially breaching the #NationalSecurityLaw and cut tie with the student body.
Around midnight, the students told the press, their supporters, and fellow Hongkongers that they would uphold their stance as much as they can. They even apologize for not being able to carry out fully what they have promised owing to the University's oppression.
To all those with conscience, thank you for glowing in the dark to brighten our nights.

Pro-democracy Fruit Store in Hong Kong Vandalized after Opening Day, Owner Undeterred: "I'll Keep Doing the Right Things"
In Hong Kong on May 19, 2021, the fruit store chain #BrosFruit, outspoken for their pro-democracy stance, opened their Tung Lok street branch in Yuen Long. The very next morning, the store was vandalized by unknown people with red paint, leaving red trails at the storefront and shutters.
The owner #LeungTungKee continued business despite the red paint on the walls, a common intimidation tactic of gangs in the city.
He says that this has never happened in other branches before, and believes the attack is related to their outspoken political stance. He also said that his conscience is clear, and will continue with the fresh fruit business: "I'll keep doing the right things." Although, he admits, it is hard to prevent similar attacks.
BrosFruit was established in mid-2018 as an e-shop with fruit delivery, then expanded to three brick-and-mortar stores. Since the anti-ELAB movement broke out in Hong Kong 2019, Leung had condemned the police brutality multiple times, and supported the strike. Many of his staff had also been contributors to the pro-democracy movement.

Hong Kong Restaurant Gives Free #Candles On the Eve of #June4 Commemoration Day
On June 3, 2021, the restaurant Villa Villa Cafe & Bar, located in North Point, Hong Kong, placed boxes of candle for customers and passersby to take.
The annual candlelight vigil in commemoration of the June 4th #TiananmenMassacre has been banned by the Hong Kong police for the second year. The organizer who had been holding the #vigil in #VictoriaPark since 1990 called on Hongkongers to commemorate the pro-democracy victims of the brutal crackdown by the CCP "in each of their own way".
In their facebook page on June 2, 2021, Villa Villa Cafe & Bar wrote that they "made a wrong order of birthday candles". The restaurant welcomed fellow citizens to take them for free. The remaining candles would be donated to a church nearby.
The person-in-charge of the restaurant Mr Tse told InMedia that "everything's in the heart".
