"We Love the Young People of Hong Kong Even More"

On the evening of November 12, 2019, thousands of Hongkongers and alumni of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) rushed to protect the campus, as the police tried to siege the university with force.

As the police sealed off the roads, the closest one can get was Foo Tan. Some people walked from Ma On Shan while carrying bags of supply. Those who could not reach the campus cried helplessly before the live broadcast.

We love CUHK.
We love Hong Kong.
We love the young people of Hong Kong even more.

The Long and Arduous Aftermath after the Battle of Chinese University of Hong Kong; Arrested Student: Hongkongers, Please Go On Fighting

One year after the Anti-ELAB movement began, a quieter but more sustained form of suffering now grips Hong Kong's pro-democracy activists.

The Stand News follows the story of Ah Man, a student who was arrested at the Siege of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) by the police, as he awaits his trial that is yet to even be scheduled.

This is just one of many Hong Kong protesters' stories.

Ah Man hopes to tell Hongkongers, "Please go on the fight".

Voluntary First aiders Haunted by Guilt after Escape: The #PolyUSiege was not just a Suppression, it was a Massacre!

Voluntary first aiders 'Siu-Yu' and 'Tou-Tou' (alias) first met each other at the campus of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) on November 16, 2019.

When Tou-Tou and her friends who are also first aiders arrived at the campus in the evening, she saw Siu-Yu was alone, so she asked her to join them. They stayed until the evening of November 17, witnessed the intensifying conflicts within the PolyU, and became comrades-in-arms since then.

November 17, 2019 was a long day. Since afternoon, Cheong Wan Road opposite to the PolyU campus had been shrouded in smoke, as police had been relentlessly firing tear gas. Some tear gas grenades were shot onto the wall og the Hong Kong Museum of History, then bounced off and hit the protestors.

In the smoke, Siu-Yu and Tou-Tou were busy dragging the wounded protesters to safe places and used normal saline to cleanse their wounds.

Many protestors refused to take rest and insisted on going back to the field. The conflict on that day was much more tragic and miserable than those happened before in the Anti-ELAB movement.

Siu-Yu recalled, 'I did not think what police carried out that day was not just a suppression, it was a massacre!'

In the battle of the PolyU, a protestor was cut by the obstructions including iron sticks while he was taking flight, a palm-sized wound laid open to the bone was sustained, but there was a shortage of anesthetics in the campus, the first aiders then needed to stitch his wound up without any medication.

'The most heartbreaking thing is that the kids did not want to take any medicine, they said they would rather leave it to the next one, because they did not want to waste it, but in fact they desperately need it.'

When the Power Authorities Rewrite History: Police Claim They Have No Intention to Siege University in the Battle of CUHK

November 2020 marks the one-year mark of the two battles in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) during the 2019 Anti-ELAB Movement.

As the authorities had notoriously altered the course of events during 7.21 Yuen Long Triad Attack, many were worried that the same would happen to more and more events in the city.

The Facebook page "No Stake Medical Student" refuted an interview with the police published by Ming Pao Daily point by point with news footages.

The following is a translation of this report by "No Stake Medical Student":

"Today, Ming Pao published a long piece of interview with police officer, with the alias 'X', who stated that the police had never intended to attack CUHK.

In turn, did the tear gas grenades that shown in photod fly to the university's stadium by themselves?

Officer X also claimed that “someone threw petrol bomb and it exploded right in front of the [university] president”.

To retort this with evidence: it was literally the Hong Kong Police Force who first shot tear gas grenades toward the university president Rocky Tuan Sung-chi on that day. After this, a petrol bomb was tossed. The protestors did not provoke the conflict aa it was depicted by officer X.

i-Cable News: "Rocky Tuan did not move forward anymore. Suddenly, the police shot at least two tear gas grenades. (A few seconds later), someone on the hillside threw back a molotov cocktail.

https://youtu.be/SNk9gWJWv58?t=42

The following video clips also recorded the police launching the siege by shooting tear gas grenades for no reason. The police were suspected to have been “attacked by laser gun”.

https://youtu.be/ditOvMqvZKU?t=108

https://youtu.be/bMN0YbVy2pk?t=96

The Ming Pao article also mentioned that “Dover urged to retreat”, “No death record because of the police was very restrained”. All are nothing but fallacy.

In face of rewriting history by the opponent, we can only rely on one and all to spread the truth.

By the way, all these police officer “X”, “Y” and “Z” are vividly proved to be false content, would Facebook make a clear tag as “misleading information”?

University Students: "President, you have to save us…I trust the humanistic spirit of CUHK!”

Dr. Leung Kai-chi is a columnist, commentator and guest lecturer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He wrote the following comtemplation on the one-year mark of the siege of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK):

"I don’t think I posted this photo before.

Rushing around during those two days, I didn’t have time to take any pictures. But somehow, I subconsciously felt that I must record this scene: this was the moment when the [University] President walked into student dormintory in the afternoon.

On that day, several teaching staff reached the President's Residence and asked him to come down. Originally they hoped that the President would meet with the students, rather than asking him to go to the No. 2 Bridge.

After entering the dormintory and still arranging the venue, a student suddenly rushed over in the corridor, holding the President's legs and broke down entirely with a wailing cry.

“President, you have to save us…”

“President, you have to save us…”

“My family wants me to study abroad, but I didn’t want to. I have to study at CUHK! I trust the teachers in CUHK! I trust the humanistic spirit of CUHK!”

“Principal, you have to save us…”

Later, more students rushed over and helped that student up.

Afterwards, the President walked to the lawn behind the dormintory and had a short-talk with some seniors.

I never knew what they were talking about, for I was in the process of setting up the venue. Soon, the senior came over and said: “no need to prepare, the President is ready to go to the No. 2 Bridge.”

In the 56 years that the school was founded, how much has to be accumulated to have such a moment.

Running around in these two days, I was trying to cool down the situation all the way, but in vain. But looking back on this scene, the essence of the matter was not President Rocky Tuan or anybody else saving the students, but the spirit and value for one and all to protect the university together."

One Year On: PolyU Student Recalls Traumatic Memory of #PolyUSiege

Part 1/4

[Editor's note: The Hong Kong Police attacked the Polytechnic University for the first time on Nov 11, 2019 and intensively since Nov 17. On Nov 18, thousands of Hongkongers protested in areas nearby the university, hoping to rescue the civilians entrapped inside the campus.

The violent dispersal operation by the police had caused a stampede, injuring many along Nathan Road.

Having besieged the university for 13 days, the police arrested more than a thousand civilians and injured countless.]

It has been one year into the police's siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU).

During the siege in November 2019, Citizens News had conducted an interview with the acting president of the university's student union Ken Woo Kwok-wang. The 22-year-old Ken was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, slightly showing exhaustion on his face.

He was reserved when talking about the condition of those who stayed behind in defence of the PolyU campus. The reporter of Citizens News did not ask further, so as to not provoke the emotion of the protesters.

One year has passed, the reporter met with Ken again, hoping to learn more about what had happened.

Ken is not wearing his glasses anymore. He cut his hair short and has apparently lost some weight. It is as if he needs to look like a different person, in order to part way with that traumatic memory.

Ken admitted frankly that he is afraid of bringing it up with friends, as his friends think he has experienced a lot. Ken said, "I've seen those who were much worst than me [during the siege]. I don’t think I did anything extraordinarily well. I felt a little bit guilty. My friends and other people have some
expectation for me and think I have done something, but I don't really think so."

Whenever he hears sayings like that, he has a headache. There is something he cannot overcome, still.

Student Recalling Police Siege of University: No Place is Always Safe, and There's Nothing the Police Wouldn't Dare to Do

Part 1/4:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/26738

Part 2/4

According to the then-acting president of the Student Union Ken Woo, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) was the first university attacked by the police during the Anti-Extradition Bill Protest in 2019.

It happened before the Battle of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK). On the morning of November 11, 2019, it began with the police firing two rounds of tear gas into the PolyU campus at around 6:30am.

As Woo recalled, he dashed from the campus D Core Exit to the bridge connecting to Hung Hom Train Station after he heard some noises from that direction.

When he arrived, the police were already inside the campus, passing by the Democracy Wall. An officer pointed his gun at his head and ordered him to leave.

15 minutes later, police fired tear gas inside the campus. At that point, Wu realized that there was no going back.

PolyU had become a thorn in the eyes of the police. Woo said that it was not new to have police monitoring the campus; after every demonstration on Hong Kong Island, there would always be about 60 to 70 uniformed officers at the Cross Harbour Tunnel bus stop beside PolyU, conducting bag and vehicle inspections.

On October 1st, 2019 [PRC's National Day], police were even guarding each exit of the university, searching the bags of everyone who left or entered the campus. 

Even so, Woo still felt that the university was his safe haven, until tear gas were fired into the campus. That was the moment when he realized that no place is always safe, and that there is nothing the police would not dare to do.

“The bridge was filled with happy memories of my 4 years of university life. I recalled every moment walking on the bridge with my committee members, laughing happily.” Woo said, "Witnessing that moment [the siege by the police] when everything I knew has irreversibly changed, that the campus I used to know has turned into a battle field, it was a shock."
