“Another Hong Kong" directed by the Chinese government to blacken the anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong and spread fake news to defame protestors

(17 May)China media, under the supervision of the Chinese government, released a documentary called "Another Hong Kong" lately to smear anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong.

The documentary has two episodes, "Chaos of Hong Kong" and "Where the wind is". The pro-government camp people, senior offices of Hong Kong government and Chinese patriots acted as interviewees to represent scholars, citizens and people from different areas and frame protestors up in the documentary.

The video defamed protestors as well-organized ad pronounced division of labour and created rumours that the protestors actually cooperated with foreigners without any supporting shreds of evidence.

The video does not only smeared all Hong Kong media reporting fake news without any justification, but it also blamed on Hong Kong education system and criticized the teaching staff. The Chinese government holds no need to introspect and review their problems.

Moreover, Charles Ho, the standing committee of the CPPCC national committee, mentioned in a TV program that it was a plan to propose the implementation of Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23, within the fifth term of the Chief Executive of HKSAR, in the two meetings of Chinese People's Political and National People's Congress.

Letter by a jailed protester

This is a letter written by Chan Yi-Chun, a 19-year-old student imprisoned for attacking a police officer with a selfie stick to help trapped protesters escape from the police. Chan was seen wearing a shirt printed with Chinese character “岳” (Cantonese: ngok6; Mandarin: Yue). Thus, some protest supporters compared his acts with the ancient folk hero Yue Fei, who was known to be brave, loyal and fearless. In the letter to Chan’s girlfriend, Chan expresses his desire to be free again and encourages HongKongers not to give up amidst the enforcement of the National Security Law. One can be forced to keep silent, but one's mind cannot be changed.

“If you could contribute to the world in future, maybe you will die for your country and sacrifice for justice?”
— Anonymous, “Yue Fei’s Boyhood”
