Over 1.7 Million Hongkongers Take Part in 8.18 "Be Water" Rally in 2019
On Sunday, August 28, 2019, over 1.7 million Hongkongers took to the streets to oppose the impending encroachment of rights and freedom in the government's attempt to establish an extradition treaty with China.
Hongkongers defied the police's objection to the march by gathering in Victoria Park, peacefully walking to Central, demonstrating their entitled rights of expression and protest.
Despite the pouring rain, Hongkongers made their steps forward standing by each other. Withstanding the rain, the congestion and hypothermia, Hongkongers formed a sea of umbrellas, peacefully and with civility, showing the world their determination to pursue the 5 demands and their ideal 'Hong Kong'.

Be like water - The striking resemblance and common languages for mass protests
Editorās Note: If you have paid attention to the protests in Belarus, you will not be surprised to see that protestors are dressing alike, wearing helmet or gas mask and carrying umbrella, as the BLM protestors in the US or the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong. Not only that, the new tactic āBe Waterā, meaning 'great flexibility and agility for the mind and body', also becomes a common motto among protestors to resist and reorganize themselves during various clashes with the brutal forces. Such tactic comes from Bruce Lee and was adapted by Hong Kong protestors in 2019.
Similar infographic posters like the one above are circulated on Belarus TG channel, depicting common gears and tools for protestors around the world.

Hong Kongās Blueprint Changes Protests Around the World
//Social dissent these days has a new catchphrase: āBe Waterā. Inspired by a quote from martial arts icon Bruce Lee, the phrase was repurposed by Hong Kongās pro-democracy movement during their campaign against the 2019 extradition bill. The concept calls for movements to take on an amorphous, leaderless and fast-flowing approach.
Thanks to live-streaming on social media, demonstrators share vital information ā such as the whereabouts of police ā to avoid a crackdown. The strategy was tested in Hong Kong and soon implemented halfway across the world by Catalan demonstrators, determined to defend the regionās freedoms from the central Spanish government...
āShapelessā and āleaderlessā are quickly becoming the new keywords for social movements. And it looks like there cannot be one without the other. Not only is lack of leadership essential to fluidity (protesters cannot just assemble and split if they are following someoneās directives), but it also allows movements to avoid government crackdowns.
As Hong Kong-based journalist Anthony Dapiran has observed, āWith no obvious leader, thereās no one to imprison.ā Even Black Lives Matter, despite the heritage of civil rights leaders as charismatic as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, is now taking a leaderless approach to social action.//

Agnes Chow Mentioned in the Entrance Exam of a Prestigious Japanese Junior High schoo
Recently, many private junior high schools in Japan are holding entrance exams. An exam question at the Seiko Gakuin Junior & Senior High School, a prestigious school in Yokohama, sparked discussions between netizens in Hong Kong and Japan because the question mentioned Agnes Chow, the National Security Law and Keyakizaka46ās song āFukyÅwaonā.
The question appeared in the Social Studies paper, where an Asahi Shimbun newspaper article published on August 2020 was chosen and the candidates needed to answer questions accordingly. The article narrates how Agnes Chow was arrested and released, and the fact that she mentioned the song āFukyÅwaonā (means discordant sound) kept coming to her mind when she was held in custody, making her determined to protect her home. This article has attracted a lot of attention at that time.
Apart from asking where it happened and who was involved in the exam question, it also mentioned ābe waterā, one of Hong Kongās pro-democracy movement slogan, quoting Xunzi (a Chinese Confucian philosopher) on his saying āwater can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boatā, subsequently asking the student candidate to define the meaning of āwaterā. The fourth question asked the candidates to answer in one sentence how they have experienced having denied their freedom. The last question linked Agnesās arrest to Article 21 of the Japanese Constitution and asked the candidate to fill in what freedom is protected under this law.

Exiled activists launch pro-democracy magazine to keep alive the spirit of ā#BeWaterā
The first issue came out in January this year. Called āFlow HKā in English, the magazine's editor-in-chief is exiled activist #SunnyCheung, and its editorial board includes other well-known campaigners in the #AntiELAB movement.
The Chinese name of the new quarterly magazine, "be water", is named after the tactic protesters used to evade suppression by police. The phrase originated in a maxim from Hong Kong's home-grown martial arts legend Bruce Lee, outlining a philosophy of being flexible or formless.
In his piece for the inaugural edition, Cheung urges Hongkongers to find ways to remain united and not to give up. He says that the resistance movement is now like a buried stream, ready to become a river. "Overseas Hong Kongers must fight, and will not give up on their dream to go home. If you are not free in Hong Kong, then what is the use of freedom?"

Voices are Disappearing in Face of "Stability and Prosperity"
On a street in Hong Kong after midnight on June 22, 2021, a piece of paper lies on the ground and reads "In Face of 'Stability and Prosperity', Voices are Disappearing".
One day ago on June 21, 2021, Hongkongers learnt of the impending closure of the city's pro-democracy newspaper #AppleDaily, after the authorities has detained and charged its editor-in-chief #RyanLaw and #NextDigital CEO #CheungKimHung under the #NationalSecurityLaw, in addition to freezing the assets of Apple Daily and three connecting companies.
The words on this paper speak the mind of many Hongkongers: Authorities allow only one voice and call this "stability and prosperity".

"Dear colleagues at Apple Daily who stay until the last,
Dear fellow Hongkongers,
The perseverence and truth-seeking spirit of Apple Daily has long been seeded in our hearts.
Despite the turbulences of the time that try to disperse us, we have absorbed enough nutrients to grow wherever we are.
We will all become a sturdy apple tree.
I hope we all will never give up. We shall remember all the facts and true happenings. We will not let our present become the past rewritten. We will strengthen and better equip ourselves, so that we will be strong enough to face darkness in the future.
From an Apple Daily Staff"

Hongkongers Stay Up Overnight to Buy #AppleDaily for One Last Time
At 2am on Jun 24 in Mongkok, newspaper vendors received the second batch of Apple Daily from the printer.
The first batch with 800 copies were sold out immediately. The second batch was increased to 10,000 copies.
As the copies arrived, journalists and civilians rushed to take picture of the last edition of the pro-democracy newspaper in Hong Kong.
This will be the last appearance of the 26-year-old top-selling newspaper.
The authorities have been using different means to stop the truth-seeking newspaper from operating, by charging editors and executives with #NationalSecurityLaw and freezing the assets of the newspaper and three connecting companies.
Many see this as an "end" to press freedom and local culture that Hongkongers have enjoyed.
The headline of the last edition writes: "Hongkongers bid farewell in rain: 'We Support Apple Daily til the End'."
