When Phone Screen Protectors in Hong Kong Have to Withstand Tear Gas and Beanbag Rounds
A sign post by a shop selling mobile phone accessories in Hong Kong reads:
"Tear gas-proof, beanbag round-proof, tempered glass screen protectors.
Protectors with a conscience:
Discount when you show your student ID"
========
Reflection from Photographer Kevin Cheng:
"I used to think that being a student is one of the happiest times of your life.
Why, when people buy phone screen protectors in this city, do they need to think about it surviving tear gas or beanbag rounds? And the store offers a student discount ...
How mad has this city become?"

#Christmas2020
Hongkonger: "Freedom is like air. You'd only know it’s priceless when you lose it and begin choking"
Kevin Cheng is a Hong Kong-based photographer. This is his contemplation for the Christmas in Hong Kongin 2020:
"On the Christmas Day last year, riot police intruded into shopping malls, firing tear gas and arresting people indiscriminately.
On the Christmas Day this year, police patrolled in the streets to bar people from having Christmas dinner, singing Christmas carols in the street and viewing the Christmas lights. There were no more overnight public transportation services.
Freedom is like air. You'd only know it’s priceless when you lose it and begin choking."
The accompanying photo is taken by Ching of Soc Rec, capturing a scene on Christmas Eve 2020 when the Hong Kong police dispersed a citizen who was strolling with her dog in Tsim Sha Tsui.
