Activism as the Protest Ebbs: "The Movement Isn't Over as Long as Someone Carries On", says Student Politicism Convener
Part 1/3
Since the National Security Law came into effect in July in Hong Kong, many student activist groups have assumed a low profile, focusing their efforts on online platforms, or ceasing operations entirely. In contrast, the group Student Politicism not only continues on, but also steps up their efforts, frequently hosting streetside booths and public events like exhibitions and letter writing campaigns.
When asked why they chose to act boldly when the movement seems to be at a low point, convener Wong Yat-chin said, "Other people might be scared, or have become worn out. That's why a student organization like us needs to step up."
Before the passing of the National Security Law, Wong said, his organization took a vote by secret ballot to decide whether they would continue to operate. The result was 95 to 5 in favor of continuing on, without much disagreement in the discussions leading up to the vote.
Were they not worried at all? They certainly were, Wong said, but he felt that "there must be some leeway for us to keep doing this."
And so, Student Politicism carries on in their "action-oriented" style, and looked for ways to maximize the limited room for resistance. They hosted exhibitions of photograohs of the pro-democracy movement, as well as streetside booths for citizens to write to the 12 Hongkongers held captive in China.
The purpose was twofold, Wong said. He hoped to break out of the echo chamber of social media and reach people of all ages on the streets, helping them become politically aware, and preparing them for the future resistance.
At the same time, he hopes to "keep the fighting spirit alive".

【專訪】低潮下逆流而行 擺街站搞抗爭相展 賢學思政召集人：有人堅持，運動就不算完結 | 獨媒報導 | 獨立媒體
（獨媒報導）反送中運動爆發至今逾一年，過往街站、遊行、集會處處的景象早已消失，街頭上留下的痕跡亦被清洗得一乾二淨。曾經，學生組織遍地開花，但在後《國安法》時代，不少組織轉趨低調甚至解散。 唯獨有個學生組織，並未因《國安法》的實施而卻步，這幾個月來繼續擺街站、舉辦抗爭攝影展、呼籲公眾寫明信片予12港人，連月來多次被警方發告票、登上左報頭條，甚至有成員

Pro-democracy Student Group Convener: “I was not born in Hong Kong, but I am willing to die for it”

Student Politicism convener Wong Yat-Chin was born and raised in China until he moved to Hong Kong in Primary 5, yet his love and attachment to the city are undeniable.
He recalled being unfamiliar with politics when he was young, and even after he immigrated, he spent his time “gaming and playing ballgames with his peers” and “did not really have a goal in life”. Wong said that he didn’t even know what the 'yellow" (pro-democracy) and the 'blue' (pro-Beijing) camps were until last year.
On June 9, 2019, Wong participated in a rally for the first time, because he felt that the Extradition Law amendments was unjust. The real wake-up call for him was when pro-democracy protester Marco Leung fell to his death at Pacific Place on June 15, 2019.
Wong sighed in retrospect saying, “I guess some would even choose to sacrifice their lives for this movement.” He said that the incident made him even more involved in the movement.
Wong started an awareness group in his secondary school and organized strikes, devoting most of his time to the movement. Some of his teachers advised him to continue only after finishing his studies. However, Wong expressed that he “wouldn’t be able to live up to his conscience, and by that time it would be too late for both me and Hong Kong.”
Not only did his participation in the movement affect his academics, it has also affected his relationship with his family and friends. Wong does not talk to his parents often because of their different political stances. “They knew I am involved but they didn’t say much, even when I got arrested last time, all they said was “okay” and that was it.”
At the beginning of the movement, he could still get in touch with his friends in China, but as the movement continued, they gradually lost contact, some even called him “violent thug” after they knew that he had founded Student Politicism.
Wong admitted that he had felt discouraged, but with his newly founded organization, he realized that “this movement is something I have committed the most in.”
In the past, he did not want to study and only dreamed of starting a local fashion brand, but now he aims to self-study for the public exam DSE and hopes to study politics in the future.
“I believe that the day will come when all Hong Kong people will rise up and fight together in unity, ” Wong repeatedly said in his interview. When he was asked whether he is worried about the consequences, he replied “I can foresee that I might become a political prisoner, but I am willing to sacrifice my life. I have not considered leaving the city.”
“I was not born in Hong Kong, but I am willing to die for it.”

Student Activist Cuts Ties with Chinese Relatives and Friends, Hopes Chinese Police Force would Stop Bothering Them
In a Facebook post published on Jan 23, 2021, Student Localism convenor Wong Yat-Chin said that his family and friends in mainland China were approached by police at their homes, and were questioned about Wong's activities in Hong Kong. At least 10 relatives and friends were approached that way, Wong said, including primary school classmates with whom he had no contact for 10 years.
This was a worrying development, Wong said. "It's like I've become CCP's number one public enemy." He announced on his Facebook page that he had cut off all ties with those being targeted by Chinese police; he hopes that Chinese authorities would no longer bother them because of him.
Meanwhile in Hong Kong, Wong's parents have also been "doxxed": their personal details have been posted online some time ago. Wong himself was being followed when hosting street booths, by individuals who claimed to be police officers. He felt that the threat was becoming more imminent, worrying that authorities would also harass his family members in Hong Kong one day.
If worse comes to worst, Wong said he would also cut ties with his family. "[My family] doesn't even know what I'm doing, and they wouldn't interfere," he said. "If even Hong Kong authorities are taking action, then I might need to cut off from my family too."

On June 12, 2021, the two pro-democracy youth were still detained by the police. Their fellow group members held a press meeting to reiterate their stance and express their determination.
The group clarified that in the past, when they mentioned the 2019 #AntiELAB movement, the use of force in protests was recounted as events but never promoted as a strategy. Their goal is to take part in civic education.
The group said the authorities has forced Hong Kong to enter an era of #WhiteTerror.
On June 12, the two year-mark of the first police-civilian clash in the 2019 pro-democracy movement, the group will not take any collective action, but every individual can speak up in defense of freedom and stay true to the original cause of the 2019 ptotests.

2 Years Since the Fatal Fall of the Yellow Raincoat Man
June 15, 2021 marks two years since the 35-year-old "Yellow Raincoat Man" Marco Leung used his death to protest against extradition to China and warn Hongkongers of the threat of the tyrannical regime.
It was in 2019, on the eve of the second rally called forth by the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF), Leung chanted pro-democracy slogans and unfurled banners in protest of the government's undemocratic acts in a shopping mall in Admiralty.
On the day in 2021, Hongkongers of different ages commemorated Leung near the shopping mall, despite the threat of the authorities.
Familiar faces like #GrannyWong and convenor of #StudentPoliticism #WongYatChin were also present among the crowd.

Members of Student Politicism arrested when setting up street booth
#StudentPoliticism, a local organisation, first planned to set up a street booth in Causeway Bay. However, due to heavy police deployment and the cordon lines, the organisation had to relocate the booth in Mongkok.
Members of the organisation prepared leaflets to be distributed, but were surrounded by a large group of police. The police demanded all citizens on site to leave, otherwise they would be fined for violation of the 599G gathering ban.
At around 1700, three core members of Student Politicism and one volunteer were arrested, including the convenor #WongYatChin.

National Security Police arrests Pro-democracy Hong Kong Students, Seizing Snacks, Lotion and Books
On September 20, 2021, the National Security Police in Hong Kong arrested three students. One of them belonged to the pro-democracy student group #StudentPoliticism, while the other are former members.
At around 6:40am, the police arrested the group's convenor #WongYatChin, former secretary #ChanChinSum and former spokeperson #ChuWaiYing.
According to the group's published on statement on Facebook, the police also raided the group's storage room in the Wah Sing Industrial Building in Kwai Chung at around 11am.
The police took away around 40 boxes which contain M&M's chocolate, baby powder, hand cream, wipes, snacks and books as "evidence".
All these items are allowed by the Correctional Sevices Department to be passed on to people in prison.
At around 12:40pm, the police took Wong with his hands cuffed at the back to a community space run by Student Politicism in Mongkok. The police violently broke the door to enter the space which hosts book drifting and exchange.
At around 16:40pm, the police admitted in a press briefing that the three students were charged with "conspiring to state subversion". One of the reasons claimed by the police is the group's caling for resistance against the "Communist Regime in Hong Kong."

The police took away around 40 boxes which contain M&M's chocolate, baby powder, hand cream, wipes, snacks and books as "evidence".
All these items are allowed by the Correctional Sevices Department to be passed on to people in prison.

Chu was visibly saddened when she heard that her bail was denied. Wong, on the other hand, waved at the court attendees, shouting "happy mid-autumn festival!"
Many family and friends who attended their hearing embraced each other in tears outside the court. A number of citizens also waited outside the building and ran after their prisoner vehicle, shouting farewell and encouragements to the three student activists inside.

#StudentPoliticism Disbanded as Core Members Face Political Prosecution in National Security Violation
On the evening of September 24, 2021, a pro-democracy group Student Politicism announced its disbandment following the arrest of the convener #WongYatChin, spokeperson #WongYuenLam, former spokeperson #JessicaChu and former secretary #ChanChiSum on charge of national security violation.
The group was founded in May 2020, before the forced enactment of the national security law in Hong Kong. One motto of the group, according to the 20-year-old convener Wong Yat-Chin, is to test the "red line of the regime". The group had been one of the very few pro-democracy student groups still in function in Hong Kong.
Announcing the decision on its Facebook page, the group wished Hongkongers safe and peace.

Uneasy and Puzzled, Student Politicism 'Testing the Bottom Line', Wong Yat-chin: Imprisonment is my Atonement
Translated by Guardians of Hong Kong , November 10, 2021 • 1 December 2021
In one whole year after the National Security Law (NSL) took effect the civilian society slipped into a panic state with political figures continually got arrested or left Hong Kong while political parties and organizations got disbanded. Among this misery, Student Politicism (SP) was established in May 2020 when the National Congress was about to pass the NSL bill. Within only one year WONG Yat-chin, the convenor, was already arrested for four times - the latest two within only a week in June. SP suddenly becomes one of the “most upfront” political organizations.
