Pro-democracy Citizens Encourage One Another to Fight On
15:36 | New Town Plaza, Shatin
In the shopping mall, citizens displayed "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times" flags and banner that read:
"Night will never overcome day,
Even fireflies could light up the sky,
They can at most hurt your bodies,
they can never take away your beliefs."

Hong Kong Lyricist Albert Leung: "Even a firefly can light up the sky"
Hong Kong lyricist Albert Leung not only showed his support for the anti-ELAB movement publicly, but he also created movement-related songs like “City of Sadness”. His name was then censored by the Chinese Communist Party government and his works were marked as “by anonymous” in China.
In an interview with RTHK's The Screening Room, Leung reiterated that he did nothing wrong by fighting for freedom. In this regard, “being named anonymous is some sort of an honour”. He expected that he will have less work after he expressed his stance, but it was more important to listen to your conscience.
"I don't think darkness can overcome the light. Even a firefly can light up the sky," Leung said.
