Graffiti Expressing The Frustration of A Hong Kong Protestor
“Exhausted, really exhausted.
What am I fighting for?
Vengeance for the Hong Kong people? Has it been done?
Every day, we find corpses of people who died under mysterious circumstances.
What will happen in 2047?
Has the anti-extradition law movement ended?
Am I going to be the next one to die?
I don’t want to die.
I love Hong Kong; I love my country - Hong Kong.
I'd rather die by the bullet, in dignity.
Everyone is crazy about masks, does it even help if you own lots of masks?”

#PrimaryElection
80-year-old granny went to a polling station with walking stick: "not exhausted, need to vote if we love Hong Kong."
Ms Choi, an 80-year-old granny, came to a polling station with a walking stick and completed the primary election with helpers' assistance. She lived in Causeway Bay and said happily that she had to"keep searching (Jaffe Road) no. 526" until she found the station. She said she was "clumsy" and did not know how to use her phone for voting. Fortunately, young people help her to complete the whole process.
She mentioned she had difficulties in moving around because of surgery on her leg before. Although she felt pain on her leg, she persisted in coming and voting under the blazing sun. She was asked if she felt hot and exhausted, she replied, "not exhausted. I have to do it." She said every citizen needs to vote in the primary election. "If you love Hong Kong and the next generation, you have to do it."
She said she learnt about the primary election in the news report. She usually pays attention to Facebook and Youtube of the Civil Party. She hoped the system could be more simple in this voting. Without the help of youngsters, she needed more time to complete the vote via the phone.
She thought the current government was too disappointing, and she couldn't believe any single word from the government. Being Hong Kong native and a person living over half of the century, she straightly pointed out that Hong Kong has "fallen" and felt "miserable" for the next generation. She mentioned from the police's searching of Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institue (HKPORI), it showed that the regime was scared and tried to suppress the primary election.
Granny Choi hoped to have a better allocation of votes in the official election via the primary election, and thought it was ridiculous for the government to disqualify candidates with different reasons. She continued that unlimited police power and new "national security law" completely destroyed "One Country Two Systems". She can't believe the government anymore.

"We really Fxxking Love Hong Kong”
Amidst white terror under the forcefully implemented National Security Law in Hong Kong, the first-ever Legislative Council election primaries received massive public support on the first day.
The image showed a collage of photographs taken on July 11, 2020 in various voting sites across Hong Kong.
The slogan in the center reads “We Really Fxxking Love Hong Kong”, which was first sighted on a banner brought out by civilians in the July 1 rally this year. It tells of Hongkongers’ quest for democracy and their love for the city.
A total of 234,547 people have voted in just one day, which is 2.76 times the organizer's target. The unexpected high turnout on the first day of the primary election demonstrated Hongkongers' fight for their rights to vote and to freely speak their minds, despite adversity.

Over 581,969 People Voted Electronically in Primaries; Au Nok-hin: The High Turnout Shows Hongkongers' Bravery Under the National Security Law
The primary election organized by the democratic front came to an end at 9pm on July 12.
Au Nok-Hin, former legislator and coordinator of the primaries, announced that as of 9pm, 581,969 people had participated in the election electronically, representing over 34% of the votes obtained by the democratic camp in 2019. This means that one in three pro-democracy voters had participated in the primarirs. This stands for 13% of the registered voters in Hong Kong.
Au said Hongkongers had "again created a miracle" and he shared this "honour with fellow Hongkongers".

Nathan Law: "I hope, too, that all of you can stand strong to resist the white terror rather than succumb to self-censorship"
This is the full version Nathan Law published on Facebook:
//Like all of you, I found out that I — along with five other Hong Kongers currently overseas — am on the wanted list for having violated the NSL from news reports. I have no idea what is my “crime” and I don’t think that’s even important. These are trumped-up charges. Perhaps, in the end, the answer is that I love Hong Kong too much.
Since 2014 I have experienced a lot of ups and downs: from student leader to a Legislative Council member, and from a prisoner to an international advocate, I have not for a moment betrayed Hong Kongers’ values and democratic aspirations. I’d be dishonest if I said I could’ve imagined six years ago that, by the time of Hong Kong’s complete destruction under Chinese control in 2020, I’d be so far gone, truly not knowing when I could return home.
I was prepared when I left Hong Kong to be in exile; but this becoming a reality still disappoints, incapacitates, and frightens me. Indeed who can enjoy freedom from fear in the face of China’s powerful political machine? What we can choose is how to respond to this fear: For me, it’s with action.
I’ve always advocated for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong, for sanctions by foreign governments against Chinese and Hong Kong officials who stifle human rights, for an active international response to concentration camps in Xinjiang and the collapse of Hong Kong’s autonomy.
The arrests, the disqualifications, the wanted bulletins — these are indications of our need to remain active on the global stage. That Hong Kong has no place for even such moderate views like ours underscores the absurdity of Chinese Communist rule. I really love Hong Kong: its terrain, its culture, its vibe. But what I most love are Hong Kongers’ values and the future of its every inhabitant. What I now face is far greater than my own gains and losses. The price of displacement is what I’m willing to pay.
My social media will remain active. I hope, too, that all of you can stand strong to resist the white terror rather than succumb to self-censorship. At the same time, I hereby reiterate: My advocacy work overseas is conducted in my own personal capacity, without any collaboration with others. Since leaving Hong Kong, I have also stopped contacting members of my family. From now on I’ll sever my relationship with them.
I will also try my best to protect my safety. Please don’t worry about me. I still have faith in the future.//

Reflection of a Hongkonger Who Organized a Rally on #Aug4 in 2019
//- Countless meetings
- The controversy about the doubling of the rally
- The Leisure and Cultural Services Department refused to lend venues as the assembly point
- “Blown fuses” after the rally in Shatin
- Our volunteers crunching to design publicity posters
- Having 1-2 hours of sleep before going to work
- Replying Telegram messages non-stop
- Changing locations everyday to collect supply to avoid dogs that unreasonably confiscate whatever they see
All vivid memories:
We would be satisfied if even only 20,000 to 30,000 people joined us.
In the end, our Tseung Kwan O fielded 150,000 people.
I remember one time when I was distributing flyers,
an elderly woman told us to stay safe with tears on her face.
A man took our flyer, much to the protest of his wife, and then he whispered to us “Add Oil”
Hongkongers' ability to move people is surely world class.

Pro-democracy Student Group Convener: “I was not born in Hong Kong, but I am willing to die for it”
Part 1/3

https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/26840
Part 3/3
Student Politicism convener Wong Yat-Chin was born and raised in China until he moved to Hong Kong in Primary 5, yet his love and attachment to the city are undeniable.
He recalled being unfamiliar with politics when he was young, and even after he immigrated, he spent his time “gaming and playing ballgames with his peers” and “did not really have a goal in life”. Wong said that he didn’t even know what the 'yellow" (pro-democracy) and the 'blue' (pro-Beijing) camps were until last year.
On June 9, 2019, Wong participated in a rally for the first time, because he felt that the Extradition Law amendments was unjust. The real wake-up call for him was when pro-democracy protester Marco Leung fell to his death at Pacific Place on June 15, 2019.
Wong sighed in retrospect saying, “I guess some would even choose to sacrifice their lives for this movement.” He said that the incident made him even more involved in the movement.
Wong started an awareness group in his secondary school and organized strikes, devoting most of his time to the movement. Some of his teachers advised him to continue only after finishing his studies. However, Wong expressed that he “wouldn’t be able to live up to his conscience, and by that time it would be too late for both me and Hong Kong.”
Not only did his participation in the movement affect his academics, it has also affected his relationship with his family and friends. Wong does not talk to his parents often because of their different political stances. “They knew I am involved but they didn’t say much, even when I got arrested last time, all they said was “okay” and that was it.”
At the beginning of the movement, he could still get in touch with his friends in China, but as the movement continued, they gradually lost contact, some even called him “violent thug” after they knew that he had founded Student Politicism.
Wong admitted that he had felt discouraged, but with his newly founded organization, he realized that “this movement is something I have committed the most in.”
In the past, he did not want to study and only dreamed of starting a local fashion brand, but now he aims to self-study for the public exam DSE and hopes to study politics in the future.
“I believe that the day will come when all Hong Kong people will rise up and fight together in unity, ” Wong repeatedly said in his interview. When he was asked whether he is worried about the consequences, he replied “I can foresee that I might become a political prisoner, but I am willing to sacrifice my life. I have not considered leaving the city.”

14 Months After the Passingof Pro-democracy Student Chow Tze-lok
On January 8, 2021, it has been 14 months since 22-year-old pro-democracy student Alex Chow Tsz-lok passed away. Chow fell from height at Sheung Tak Carpark at midnight of October 4, 2019.
The same day also marks the closure of the Coroner's Inquest, which had been taking place in the past few weeks. The jury has not yet to reach any agreement after discussing for 7 hours.
At the altar set up in Tseung Kwab O, citizens brought white flowers, candles and origami cranes. Three light boxes with Chow's photo and the words "we love Hong Kong so dam much" were also placed.

Supermarket in HK Suspected of Self-censorship After Removing Products Praising “Hong Kong is Beautiful”
Photo: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/30257
Watsons water has rolled out a series of new designs at the beginning of June 2021. The new designs are bases on Hong Kong scenaries including photos of the well-known Lion Rock and the night view of Pearl Harbour that were taken by international award-winning photographer.
