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."
[Editor's note: The lines originally come from Albert Leung, a prolific, award-winning lyricist in Hong Kong. He was banned in China for speaking out his belief in democracy.]

是誰令香港受到傷害，
是誰令香港的人流血，
元朗人會記得，
香港人會記得。
Who have been inflicting harm on Hong Kong?
Who have caused Hongkongers to shed blood?
People in Yuen Long will remember.
People in Hong Kong know.

Hongkongers: On Fear
“You have your fears. So do I.
The fear of pain, the fear of bullets, the fear of being bludgeoned.
But I want freedom. I want our martyrs acquitted!"
“The coldness of justice is not as concerning as compared to the coldness of our hearts -
Keep the fire burning.”
The old Hong Kong will be but a memory under the National Security Law. Yet, in the ruins, an inextinguishable fire burns. Darkness is but the absence of light. Likewise, the darkness brought upon by evil dictators shall perish in the presence of the light of freedom and truth.

Hong Kong Protesters
From photographer Kevin Cheng:
"What I witnessed yesterday provoked a lot of feelings:
A cardboard collecting old man was pushing his trolley along the scene of the protest, and slowly stacking the cardboard onto the trolley.
Two protesters offered him help immediately after seeing him going around the neighborhood and carrying a pile of cardboard. But at that time, a few dozen metres ahead was the police, who were ready to charge under the Canal Road Flyover.
Protesters in Hong Kong are like this, silly but gentle: In pursuit of freedom, justice, equality and fairness, they come forward regardless.
I saw in them that Hong Kong actually can still be saved. Because they are so good, I feel that Hong Kong does not deserve these young people.
In any case, thank you. Thank you for giving me a reason to pick up the camera once more."
