Hong Kong Students Deeply Worry About Their Future
Ideologist, a students concern group, called for a rally on June 7 but was objected by the police. The group then set up a booth near the Clock Tower in Tsim Sha Tsui and later in Mong Kok to raise public awareness on the adverse impacts of the law.
The group shared their concerns for the future and the loss of confidence in the government.
Not only that the Education Bureau is indifferent to students' well-being during the coronavirus outbreak, the authorities' enforcement of gathering ban, objection of protests, political persecution and the legislation of draconian laws (e.g. Anthem Law, Nation Security Law) have shown the worsening encroachment of rights and freedom in Hong Kong.

“We are not __”: HK Lady Liberty Exhibition
Part 2: Who would protect our land if we give up?
The building of the “#LadyLiberty" statue and its transportation were explained in videos. The blueprint and 3D printing models walked the visitors through the technology involved. Different “Lady Liberty HK” statues were also shown in form of figurines portraying different roles in the pro-democracy movement.
As the center of the exhibition, the remaining parts of the statue were featured and accompanied by the “Liberty Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” flag.
Beside news clippings to highlight the important events in the ongoing movement, a Lennon Wall wss set up for visitors to express themselves.
At last, the staircase was decorated with words of encouragement: “There's hope in Hong Kong...We can change the world."
With the determination and perseverance symbolized by the Lady Liberty, one possible title of the exhibition is perhaps “We are not giving up” .
