83-year-old Li Yi: I don’t have long to live, but I believe Hong Kong young people have wisdom beyond imagination 4/6

▶️ Part 3

The outbreak of anti-extradition bill changes the perception towards young people

Li Yi cares most about freedom and individuality. He parted ways with the left-wing, the country and socialism. He came over to support the local and young people who were not popular with the mainstream. In the past 80 years, he has seen too many terrible things, he has seen too many political clutches and persecutions. He doesn't care about others' praise and deprecation. I don't know how tough his heart is in his wrinkled body. If we are Skywalker, Li Yi will be Master Yoda, who is nearly 900 years old.

Union Leader in Hong Kong Has No Regrets for Pro-democracy Quest and Pledges to Fight til the Very End


Winnie Yu Wai-ming, the chairlady of the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) has rehearsed in her mind for many times of being arrested.

Early in the morning at 6am on January 6, 2021, Yu heard loud thumps on her door followed by blaring commands, “Hong Kong Police. Open the door. Hong Kong Police. Open the door.”

Yu’s husband opened the door as instructed. Police rushed in to arrest Yu for her involvement in Legislative Council Primary Election in 2020.

Being arrested for the first time in her life, Yu faced severe charges of the "subversion of state power" under the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL).

Not only was she not afraid, but she also remained so calm that she has surprised evern herself.

Alone in the prison cell that night, she did not pity herself but other fellow protesters who were also being arrested. She thought to herself, “they must have faced much worse treatment than I do.”

Yu was known for sheding tears easily, but Yu didn’t cry at all after the arrest, “crying is giving in to the authorities.”

Even after she was released on bail, Yu didn’t think of stepping down from the frontline. Instead she seized the time to do as much as she could.

Yu often tells people that she has “no regrets”. In just over a year, Yu experienced a lot from partaking in anti-ELAB movement and involving in the primary election to being arrested. Yu said there were no regrets. With a smile on her face, Yu said, “I think I am stiff-necked.”

Nevertheless, Yu has once considered leaving Hong Kong. Now with her travel documents confiscated, Yu said resolutely, “I chose to stay put and I won’t regret. If any Hongkonger wishes to stay and continue the fight, I am willing to fight with them til the end.”

Arrested Pro-democracy Activist #ChowHangTung opposes Hong Kong Alliance’s disbandment: "I would choose not to lose, not to forget, not to give up, and to persevere until the last moment.”

Lee Cheuk-yan and Albert Ho Chun-yan, chairman and former vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, who are currently detained, issued a joint open letter on September 17, 2021, stating that the best solution for the pro-democracy Alliance is to disband.

[Editor's note: After a special meeting on September 25, 2021, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China passed a motion to dissolve.

The Alliance had been the organizer of the annual June 4 Tiananmen Massacre Candlelight Vigil in Hong Kong's #VictoriaPark since 1990.

On September 23, 2021, an "Open Letter from Chow Hang-Tung to Hong Kong Alliance (before and after)" was published on Chow's personal Facebook page, stating that she cannot see the act of disbanding any help in continuing the Alliance's philosophy.

"Please oppose the dissolution motion and give the Alliance a chance to continue," Chow expressed despite being arrested and detained.

Chow, a barrister by profession, also pointed out, "The regime has chosen to annihilate us all, so we have to choose whether to persist until the end or to bail out before it’s too late. On this choice, I would choose not to lose, not to forget, not to give up, and to persevere until the last moment.”
