17 months ago on June 15, 2019, "Yellow Raincoat Man" Marco Leung Ling-kit took his life, by jumping off from the rooftop of a shopping mall, in protest of the extradition bill, which Carrie Lam refused to withdraw despite million-strong protest marches and violent clashes outside the legislature.
On the 17-month mark tonight, citizens returned to the spot where Leung fell and paid respect to him, as they have been doing every month.
Leung's death last June shocked the city, and was remembered as the first martyr who took their own life to protest against the extradition bill, which, sadly, claimed several more lives before Carrie Lam finally withdrew it months later.
His yellow raincoat bears slogans decrying police brutality against protesters and accusing Carrie Lam for "killing Hong Kong". It has become one of the symbols for the anti-ELAB movement. A replica was hung at the memorial site tonight, where citizens placed white flowers and lit candles in his remembrance.
Posters at the scene also called for attention to the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers who have been captured and are now detained in China without outside contact for nearly 3 months.
Like Yellow Raincoat Man, Hongkongers would not forget the sacrifices they made, nor the pain they endured.

Deadly Fire in Hong Kong Claims At Least 7 Lives
On Sunday, November 15, 2020, a fire broke out in a 4-storey tenement building on Canton Road near the Jade Market in Hong Kong.
Some media reports called it "the most deadly fire in Hong Kong since 2011". At least four men and three women were killed and at least 10 people were injured. There is at least one child among the casualties.
Carrie Lam said she was "deeply saddened". One day before, the Chief Executive was criticized in a medal ceremony for applausing when the family members of three deceased customs officers were grieving.

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.'

Pro-democracy Restaurant Owner and Family Subjected to Police Violence Face Arrest After A Year
In late October 2019, a number of irritant odor incidents were reported in Tuen Mun. Some local residents speculated that the pungent smell was caused by the Tai Hing Police Operational Base.
On October 30,, 2019, hundreds of cvilian surrounded the police base and demanded for an explanation.
During the police dispersal operation, the owner of the restaurant 'Dan Yatai' and her brother were violently subdued by the riot police inside their restaurant and were arrested them on charges of 'obstructing police officers'. The owner and her brother were released on bail the next day.
A year later, 'Dan Yatai' said on their Facebook page on November 13, 2020 that the owner and her brother received a call from the Tuen Mun Police Station and were requested to go to the Police Station.
The owner told Stand News that she and her brother received the call in the afternoon. They were asked to bring their lawyers to the police station on Monday, November 16, but were not informed of their impending arrest.
It was not until her brother pressed further on the question, the police admitted that they would be arrested 'by appointment' and charged with 'obstructing the police officers'.
The owner added that there were a lot of people who got arrested after they were out on bail since last year, so she was psychologically prepared for this. She was confident that she would be exculpated.
On October 30 last year in Tuen Mun, police arrested over 50 civilians. When 'Dan Yatai' reopened on November 12, 2019, a lot of local residents queued up to show their support. Some people wrote encouraging quotes on the restaurant's door.

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”?

A City Without the Opposition Camp in its Legislature
After Beijing forcefully removed by "disqualifying" four seating elected lawmakers, 15 pro-democracy lawmakers resigned en masse.
Without the opposition camp, the legislative council in Hong Kong has become a social club for the Beijing loyalists, who chitter-chattered and munched during the Finance Committee meeting on November 13, 2020.
The photo captured how Committee's Chair Chan Kin-por casually adjourned the meeting for a break, when he was sighted passing on a pack of biscuits to another Beijing loyalist, Chow Ho-ding.

However, the WHO still refused to invite Taiwan to participate in the meeting due to political considerations.
The authority said that during the resumption of the meeting, it would plan for an online conference about cancer, inviting the officials and experts from America, Europe, and other countries to have the conversations, Taiwan will also continue to strive for the participation in WHO meeting, systems and activities.

台灣未獲邀參與世衛大會 台北對大陸阻撓表示遺憾不滿
世界衛生大會今日以視像形式復會，台灣至今未獲邀參與，台北當局對大陸阻撓，以及世衛持續漠視台灣人民的健康人權，表示高度遺憾及強烈不滿。 台灣的外交部說，在台灣爭取參與大會的過程中，國際的聲援越來越強，其中美國再次敦促世衛總幹事譚德塞邀請台灣出席大會，歐洲、非洲、拉丁美洲等地區國家，亦公開表達對台灣的支持，但世衛仍基於政治考量，拒絕邀請台方參會。 當局說，在復會期間，將會規劃舉辦以癌症為主題的網上會議，邀請美歐等國家的官員及專家交流，台方亦會繼續爭取參與世衛會議、機制及活動。
Being tough on China is what unifies a polarised U.S. former trade negotiator says
A former negotiator Willems explain that if Biden wins, he would be constrained by the political environment and will unlikely be able to go back to some of the China position he’s held in the past that were seen as relatively weak.
Trump and his administration have blamed China for its unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft, and the Coronavirus pandemics recently.
When asked if there was a chance that the U.S., under a Biden administration, may rejoin the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, Willems pointed out the deal faced bipartisan opposition in Congress. While Biden may potentially look at the agreement again, there would need to be renegotiation of some of the provisions before the U.S. consider repointing the impact.

When asked if there was a chance that the U.S., under a Biden administration, may rejoin the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, Willems pointed out the deal faced bipartisan opposition in Congress. While Biden may potentially look at the agreement again, there would need to be renegotiation of some of the provisions before the U.S. consider repointing the impact.
