Ice cream shop owner stands up for Hong Kong protesters
A local ice cream shop owner is offering up her business as a space for people to support Hong Kong protesters demanding democratic reforms in their country. A "Lennon wall" was mounted at her store, where people can leave notes of encouragement for the protesters in her hometown.
Lennon walls which first appeared in Prague in 1980 as a tribute to John Lennon, have sprung up in Hong Kong and around the world in 2020, giving people spaces to share notes of encouragement and other messages with protesters
"There are many people out there that want to support Hong Kong as well. [This] was a chance for them to come together and do something tangible," the owner said.
