Letters from dissidents and exiles to Hongkongers, to express solidarity and hope for the future.
Press freedom, totalitarianism and the alikeness between Hong Kong and mainland China are drawing more attention. People shared their experiences and fear, hoping that Hongkongers will defend their right and earn victory. Together, we stand strong. We support each other amidst the darkest years in our life. Read their words and regain your hope.
I never thought my first time abroad would be as an exile (because she visited the protest in HK). - a Shenzhen resident now overseas
The police have revised rules about who constitutes the media. It is the same control over press cards as in China. Soon the arrests of Hong Kong activists will be the same as those on the mainland – Liu Xiaobo, Ilham Tohti and Ren Zhiqiang. They will disappear without a mention in the news. - Chinese writer and journalist
Although eggs are weak they have within them life. There will be a day when we use our blood, youth and life to push down that wall. I believe the final victory belongs to us. – Hua Yong, 51, a Chinese artist in exile in Thailand
