Apple Daily Staff: "We will all become a sturdy apple tree"
The following is excerpted from an open letter written by an #AppleDaily staff:
"Dear colleagues at Apple Daily who stay until the last,
Dear fellow Hongkongers,
The perseverence and truth-seeking spirit of Apple Daily has long been seeded in our hearts.
Despite the turbulences of the time that try to disperse us, we have absorbed enough nutrients to grow wherever we are.
We will all become a sturdy apple tree.
I hope we all will never give up. We shall remember all the facts and true happenings. We will not let our present become the past rewritten. We will strengthen and better equip ourselves, so that we will be strong enough to face darkness in the future.
From an Apple Daily Staff"
The image comes from an overseas Hongkongers' group in San Francisco. It writes: "They try to bury us, without knowing that we are seeds."

Supporting Citizens Chant Outside #AppleDaily Office: "Hongkongers, fight on!"
On June 23, 2021, Apple Daily annnounced the printing of its last edition on the next day, due to the government's suppression of the 26-year-old pro-democracy newspaper.
Since the news of Apple Daily's closure was released, Hongkongers travelled to the newspaper office in Tseung Kwan O to pay tribute to the journalists and the staff who have been fighting for press freedom in the city. Some gave flowers to the staff.
The newspaper will print 1 million copies for its last edition.
In the evening, more and more supporting citizens, including parents with kids, gathered outside the premise, filling up the road, despite the rain.
The public chanted, "Support Apple Daily til the end!" and "Hongkongers, fight on!"
The staff of Apple Daily responded by flashing lights from their office. Some bowed to the supporting citizens.

Hongkongers Proudly Hold Onto the City's Last Printed Copy of #AppleDaily
After midnight, the last edition of Hong Kong's pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily has been printed. Fresh from the printer, supporting citizens outside of the newspaper office received a free copy from the staff.
Everyone is emotional, knowing that authorities cannot allow even a newspaper to survive in the city. The closure of Apple Daily signifies the "end of an era", as many said. Seeking and speaking the truth will become more and more difficult in Hong Kong.
On this occasion, Hongkongers also reminded each other to stand strong and never give up--just as one sign reads at the scene: "Preserve your solemnity and integrity; Be self-reliant, Hongkongers".
At around 01:24 on June 24, 2021, police arrived at the scene to ticket media's vehicles and disperse civilians. They were set to cordon off Apple Daily headquarters.
