"Fly With You" One-Year Anniversary: Hongkongers Flooded the Airport to Introduce the 5 Democratic Demands to Tourists
On Aug 9, 2019, thousands of Hongkongers welcomed international visitors at the Airport and introduced the pro-democracy movement to them (see video taken on the day).
This is also the population's supportive response to the strike launched by over 3,640 staff members of the Civil Aviation Department and 4 local air companies on 5 August, 2019, being Hong Kong's largest strike since 1967 and causing over 200 flights to cancel.
In the evening, civilians in Wong Tai Sin and Shatin gathered for the traditional Hungry Ghost Festival, where paper offerings are burnt for the deceased. Yet, the occasion was faced with rounds of tear gas fired by the police.
All these efforts aimed to express population's demands for genuine dual universal suffrage and the protection of rights.
