13 Months On: Yellow Raincoat Man Remembered
20:49 | Pacific Place, #Admiralty
It has been 13 months since the death of Leung Ling-kit (more affectionately known as the Yellow Raincoat man), who is considered to be the first martyr of the anti-extradition movement.
Groups of people from all Walls of life have made their way down to the site of his death to place flowers in memory and tribute to him.
An illuminated light box depicting an illustration of a yellow raincoat was also hung on the tree where the flowers were being placed.
Last year, Leung's death sparked off a peaceful protest that involved 2 million participants making an appeal to the government to withdraw the extradition bill. This demonstration has made it to the books as Hong Kong's biggest demonstration up to date.
It may have already been more than a year since Leung's departure, but he will forever be remembered as an important figure in the movement.

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.

“I am lost in Hong Kong”: #YellowRaincoatMan
On May 10, 2021, the Coroner’s Court in Hong Kong has opened the inquest into the death of “yellow raincoat man” #MarcoLeung Ling-kit, the first martyred Hong Kong protestor, who on June 15, 2019, fell from a scaffolding at Pacific Place mall in Admiralty after unfurling a banner with the Five Demands of the protests.
Leung’s parents were absent from court.
Inside the court room, the personal belongings of Leung were exhibited. These include a banner that read "Fully withdraw extradition to China, we are not rioters" and his famous yellow poncho displaying the line "Carrie Lam kills Hong Kong, Corrupt Cop is Coldblooded".
Apart from these, there is also a black T-shirt with the words “I am lost in Hong Kong” and a notebook where he wrote “I am frustrated by this Hong Kong.”
A clip of the incident was shown in court, in which Democrat Roy Kwong and other citizens tried to persuade Leung not to commit suicide. “Walk back!” “We still have tomorrow. Let’s march together tomorrow!”
Macro Leung died on June 15, 2019, a day before a march which sees 2 million Hongkongers taking to the street, the largest the city has ever witnessed. He has since become an icon in Hong Kong’s resistance movement.

“What comes today is the stained hands of a tyrant”: #YellowRaincoatMan’s Last Words Found
The Coroner's inquest into the death of #MarcoLeung “Yellow Raincoat Man" took place during which a notebook with his last words was exhibited.
“I am frustrated to this Hong Kong
whose answers to its future for
months I have sought yet not found
What comes today is my will
but also from the stained hands of the tyrant.”
“Fully withdraw Extradition to China
Release all students
We are not rioters
Carrie Lam must go”
Found in his remains is also a filled registration card of a wish for green burial, which means he chooses to bury by scattering his cremains in Gardens of Remembrance or at Sea.
Leung’s family has tried to approach the police in June 2019 and June 2020 for three times. Yet 2 days after they have given their statement, they left Hong Kong on the morning of 29 August 2019 and didn’t have any other travel records ever since.

Three Years Since the Death of "Yellow Raincoat Man": Police Warn Mourning Citizens of "Littering" as they Offered Flowers
Today marks the third year since the death of Marco Leung Ling-kit, the "Yellow Raincoat Man", who fell to his death wearing a yellow raincoat that said "Carrie Lam killed Hong Kong, Cops were cold blooded." His death came a week after a 1-million-strong march did not #CarrieLam to withdraw the extradition bill, and another massive protest on the day of the vote was met by violent police crackdown.
Outside Pacific Place in Admiralty, the scene of Leung's death, citizens have erected a roadside memorial this afternoon. It was soon surrounded by dozens of white flowers, origami flowers, and other memorial art from citizens who came to pay tribute to the fallen man.
Police came and cleared away the memorial, and accused a man who laid down flowers for "littering", giving verbal warnings and taking down their identities. "I have the right to mourn," the man said, criticizing the police's actions, "I'm only exercising my due rights."
Ms. S and Mr. J took half a day off work today to attend the memorial and lay down flowers. J said that he had never forgotten Leung, and came to "tell everyone: hold on and continue in our conviction." He had been concerned that simply mourning in public might put him at risk of being arrested, but decided that he couldn't worry too much.
"I have to do what I intended to do," he said, "or else some memories will slowly fade away. I don't want to be ashamed of myself."
