Hong Kong Netizens Boycott Made-in-China TV Series
ViuTV, a free-to-air TV channel in Hong Kong, broadcast a Chinese drama seriee called "Drug War" during their prime time since Feb 8, 2021. One week later on Feb 15, the TV station annnounced a change of program after facing strong opposition from Hong Kong netizens.
The Chinese drama, which has 30 episodes in total, has been boycotted by Hongkongers since its first release. Hong Kong netizens filled the facebook page of ViuTV with requests to remove the series and the hastag "#StopShowingDrugWar". The 45,000-membered activists group "Boycott TVB" has voiced support for the boycott. A recently established concern group has already gathered 3,500 likes within a week. Netizens also warned ViuTV that they might extend the boycott to artists like Mirror and Error in the TV station.
In the end, #ViuTV announced that the Chinese series will be aired during midnight over the weekend. The primetime slot will be replaced by the South Korean drama "Kkondae Intern". ViuTV also said they will release more locally produced programmes in due course.

“Hong Kong people can no longer go on rallies, can no longer vote;
But at least, we can still buy pineapples.
Since the Chinese import ban on Taiwanese pineapples two weeks ago, many Yuen Long residents asked a local fruit store whether they can purchase Taiwanese pineapples. The crazy owner immediately took up the suggestion without hesitation, and had promised to order them. That order filled 10 whole pallets. The owner worried whether he had overstocked.
When I went to the store in the afternoon, this was the scene I saw: hundreds of pineapple boxes sold out in a couple of hours. Those with cars came to pick up entire boxes; those queuing in line patiently waited. Many of those in line even had to place orders when they were sold out.
We all had an unspoken understanding, that this is the only thing left we can do.
This is our silent protest.
With the money spent on a 20-dollar pineapple, we support those walking on the same path as us, and gave ourselves the courage to live on in this changed city.
The pineapple I ate tasted bittersweet, just like all the joy and sorrows we share with each other.
Thank you, citizens of Yuen Long.
Thank you, the crazy owner of Hokee Fruits (@hokee_meows).

#YellowStores Stand in #Solidarity as #AbouThai Opens its New Shop
The pro-democracy 'yellow' store “AbouThai” inaugurated its new branch in Mong Kok on 18 March, 2021.

'AbouThai' was founded by pro-democracy activist Mike Lam King-Nam, who was charged with "conspiring to subvert states powers" for participating in the primary elections in 2020. He was heard in court with another 46 pro-democracy politians and activists since early March.
Lam, who was released on bail, was seen operating the shop in person. Though the store was overcrowded, Lam was friendly and never rejected requests from journalists.
The new branch of AbouThai is located at:
Shop G14-17, G/F, Hollywood Plaza, 610 Nathan Road, Mongkok, Kowloon

"This is a Hong Kong I'm not familiar with": #Chickeeduck Owner Recounts Police Raid on Newly-Opened Branch
After national security police raided #Chickeeduck 's new Tsuen Wan branch on May 6, 2021, store owner #HerbertChow recounted the ordeal in English to reporters at the store.
About 30 officers entered the premises with a search warrant, he said, claiming that the store may have products that violated the National Security Law.
Although the police only searched for products, all store staff were detained and not allowed to leave, even at Chow's request.
Many customers left the store when the police began surrounding and cordoning off the shop, and police took down the ID card numbers of the customers before letting them go.
Chow and four other employees remained in the store as the policemen conducted their search for about an hour, opening bags and carton boxes. The police found nothing. However, one senior officer told Chow that although the police were not confiscating any evidence, the investigation was not finished.
He gave Chow a verbal warning: "In the future, if you violate the National Security Law, we will prosecute you."
When Chow asked him whether he had violated any law, the officer only answered, "We have no responsibility to answer your question." "I just want to know whether I can continue business," Chow said.
Watch video:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/29618
Since the police did not remove any questionable items, he reasoned, everything in the store could be assumed to be legal, and the store could continue to open for business. "So have I violated any law?" Chow asked, "Should I continue, or should I take away some stuff?" The officer only said again that they were not obliged to answer.
"So this is Hong Kong," said a flabbergasted Chow. "The national security department is so powerful, they can come in, interrupt your business for one hour, take your customers' ID card numbers, and they don't have to explain.“
"This is a Hong Kong I'm not familiar with. I've been living here for 57 years; this is the first time I've experienced this."
Chow is resolute in continuing his business despite the harassment, though his view of the police force is quickly dimming.
"I used to tell youngsters that there are good people in the police force. I'm changing [my stance]."

Pro-democracy Fruit Store in Hong Kong Vandalized after Opening Day, Owner Undeterred: "I'll Keep Doing the Right Things"
In Hong Kong on May 19, 2021, the fruit store chain #BrosFruit, outspoken for their pro-democracy stance, opened their Tung Lok street branch in Yuen Long. The very next morning, the store was vandalized by unknown people with red paint, leaving red trails at the storefront and shutters.
The owner #LeungTungKee continued business despite the red paint on the walls, a common intimidation tactic of gangs in the city.
He says that this has never happened in other branches before, and believes the attack is related to their outspoken political stance. He also said that his conscience is clear, and will continue with the fresh fruit business: "I'll keep doing the right things." Although, he admits, it is hard to prevent similar attacks.
BrosFruit was established in mid-2018 as an e-shop with fruit delivery, then expanded to three brick-and-mortar stores. Since the anti-ELAB movement broke out in Hong Kong 2019, Leung had condemned the police brutality multiple times, and supported the strike. Many of his staff had also been contributors to the pro-democracy movement.

Hong Kong Restaurant Gives Free #Candles On the Eve of #June4 Commemoration Day
On June 3, 2021, the restaurant Villa Villa Cafe & Bar, located in North Point, Hong Kong, placed boxes of candle for customers and passersby to take.
The annual candlelight vigil in commemoration of the June 4th #TiananmenMassacre has been banned by the Hong Kong police for the second year. The organizer who had been holding the #vigil in #VictoriaPark since 1990 called on Hongkongers to commemorate the pro-democracy victims of the brutal crackdown by the CCP "in each of their own way".
In their facebook page on June 2, 2021, Villa Villa Cafe & Bar wrote that they "made a wrong order of birthday candles". The restaurant welcomed fellow citizens to take them for free. The remaining candles would be donated to a church nearby.
The person-in-charge of the restaurant Mr Tse told InMedia that "everything's in the heart".
