Mime Pro-democrscy Demonstration in #Nottingham, Hongkongers in #UK Preserve Memory of 8.31 Prince Edward Attack
2021 marks the second anniversary of the 8.31 Prince Edward Attack by the police in 2019. As Hong Kong is under the tight grip of authoritarian control, there are no large scale memorial activities planned.
Overseas Hongkongers told their fellow Hongkongers that they have not forgotten this date.
In UK on August 29, 2021, the group "Nottingham Stands With Hong Kong" presented a large-scale silent skit titled "We Are the Chosen One", recreating scene after scene of heart-rending moments from the 2019 Anti-ELAB protests.
Participants posted photos and videos of the skit on Facebook, noting that "there are things that can't be done in Hong Kong now. We understand. So leave it to us overseas people."
The group explained that they wanted to preserve the memory of the events; however, it was even more important that the international community knows what happened in Hong Kong. "It doesn't matter if you're in Hong Kong or overseas. As long as you're a true Hongkonger, our hearts will be connected, and we'll remember what we promised to each other. See you under the Pot!"

Citizens Lay Down White Flowers on 2-Year Anniversary of Student Protester's Death
Today (November 8) marked the second year since the passing of pro-democracy Hong Kong student #ChowTszLok. Citizens around the city brought brocades of white flowers to the site of his fatal fall in remembrance.
During the anti-ELAB movement in 2019, Chow, a 22-year-old university student, fell from the 3rd floor of a car park in Tseung Kwan O as police clashed with civilians in nearby streets.
He died from his injuries in hospital 4 days later, on November 8, 2019.
A Coroner’s inquest was conducted in January 2021 to determine cause of Chow’s death. However, as the jury was unable to decide the causes and circumstances of his death, the coroner pronounced an open verdict.

Grandma Wong Arrested while Paying Tribute to Chow Tsz-lok
Grandma Wong was in Tseung Kwan O around 7:30pm, holding a handbill with the number 2 in her hands, signifying the two years since the death of Chow Tsz-lok.
She chanted familiar protest slogan “Five Demands No One Less”, and called for establishing an independent inquiry commission to investigate the cause of Chow's death.
Moments later, Grandma Wong was quickly surrounded by police officers, who then took her away in a police car.

Hongkongers Pledge to Carry On Deceased Student's Unfinished Quest for Freedom and Democracy
After China's imposition of National Security Law and crackdowns on dissenting voices in what was once one of the world freest cities, Hong Kong has not seen large scale gatherings in remembrance of those who suffered police brutality and sacrificed their lives during the quest of freedom and democracy.
On this night (Novermber 8), defiant Hongkongers continued to pay tribute to #ChowTszLok, a university student who passed away after falling from height in a car park during anti-ELAB movement in 2019.
In a park not far away from the car park, several light boxes with Chow's portrait and a line of white candles had been set up in Chow's remembrance.
A second set of light boxes displayed the citizens' vow to continue their quest for democracy, pledging to Chow that they will "carry on your unfinished journey (代你走下去)."

Two years seven months since passing of pro-democracy martyr Marco Leung Ling-kit
On June 15, 2019, #MarcoLeung fell to his death from a shopping mall, #PacificPlace, a week after a one million-strong demonstration failed to convince the city's leadership to withdraw the extradition bill.
Leung was wearing a yellow raincoat that wrote "Carrie Lam killed Hong Kong, Cops were cold blooded."
Leung was the first pro-democracy Hongkonger to die in the anti-extradition law amendment bill movement in 2019.
After Leung's death, his yellow raincoat became a symbol of resistance in the fight for freedom.

Chinese Students Protest Against Removal of #TiananmenMassacre Monument at #HKU
On January 17, 2022 at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), students from China launched a flashmob protest against the university management's removal of the #PillarofShame, a monument commemorating the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing.
The students laid flowers, handbills that read “Pillar Gone, Shame Still”, documents about the history of the pillar and red stain from dragon fruits at the original site.
Around ten security guards surrounded the area on high alert, checking journalists’ passes on the site. The guards removed the students‘ display within 2 to 3 minutes, calling the display as “pieces of trash”.

Hongkongers Insist on Remembering #June4th
In the past, #CandleVigil was held annually in Hong Kong on June 4 to commemorate the victims of 1989 #TiananmenMassacre in Beijing.
Starting from 11pm on June 3, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (#LCSD) of the Hong Kong SAR Government ordered to close the football pitches and the lawn area in #VictoriaPark, to "curb unauthorised assembly".
Over 100 police officers patrolled at all the entrances of the Park since 10:30pm. Some areas in the park were blocked by crowd control barriers.
Mr Sung, an artist who wore a black face mask, arrived at Victoria Park at 9:30pm. He sat on the ground with an umbrella and two e-candles, reading "The History of Modern Mime". The police stopped and searched him and asked him his purpose at the venue. He only answered "no comment".
Despite the heavy rain , Mr Sung didn't back down. He held up his umbrella and continued to sit-in until 11pm, the deadline given by the LCSD.

"Why? This is my duty": #June4 Banner appears in Hong Kong despite suppression
June 4, 2022 marks 33 years since the 1989 #TiananmenSquareMassacre in Beijing. At the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), a banner that read "Why? [Because] This is my duty" was displayed on a fence outside of the dormitory of New Asia College. The image and quote on the banner was taken from a BBC documentary of the Tiananmen Massacre.
The scene from the documentary, in which the student gave the quoted answer in English, can be viewed on BBC News Chinese: https://youtu.be/ExqqdUXXdgA?t=69
By 1am, however, the banner was removed after the campus security took a photo.
In addition, it was reported that a flashmob activity to "look for the Statue of the Goddess of Democracy" was briefly held at midnight on CUHK campus. Handbills that read "Missing: Goddess of Democracy" were posted around the New Asia College and the United College, but by 6am, all of them were removed by campus security.
The Statue of the Goddess of Democracy had previously been on display at CUHK for 11 years, commemorating the 1989 pro-democracy movement in China and the victims of the brutal crackdown by the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government. It was removed by the university authority without notice on Christmas eve of 2021.

中國政府動用軍隊，向手無寸鐵的學生和市民開槍，
