無懼寒冷，
無懼烈風，
黃婆婆也會在現場，
守護著每一個日子。
Heedless of the cold,
Heedless of the wind.
Grandma Wong would return to stand watch.
Each date is near and dear to her heart.

"7.21 - how could we forget?" - Grandma Wong at Yuen Long
1945 | Yuen Long
Jan 21, 2021 is the 18-month mark of the 7.21 Yuen Long mob attack, when armed white-clad men attacked citizens inside the MTR station and on the street, during which police officers conspicuously turned their backs and left the scene, and were even seen befriending the white shirts.
Grandma Wong is at the bus terminal area in Yuen Long with her yellow umbrella and British flags. Her signs call out to passerbys to remember the events that night: "7.21 - how could we forget?"
18 months after, many Hongkongers refused to forget while heavy police presence was sighted in Yuen Long to curb memorial activities.

#18Months Since Hong Kong Police Attack Civilians at Prince Edward Station Station
On Feb 28, 2021, in face of police intimidation and political oppression, Hongkongers brought white flowers to mourn the casaulties of the pro-democracy movement outside of Prince Edward Station. Granny Wong was among those there.
On August 31, 2019, the Hong Kong police stormed in the subway station and violently attacked train passengers with batons and pepperspray inside the train compartment and in the concourse.
Countless defenseless civilians were injured. Past footages have shown that many civilians, in fear, were ordered to kneel when intercepted by the police. The police also forbade voluntary first aid responders and reporters from entering the station.
The police claimed that no one was killed.
Since that day, Hongkongers gathered near the station on the last day of every month to remember #PoliceBrutality and show their determination in the fight for democracy.
