Pro-democracy #Hongkongers Make 2-Person March to GovHQ, Hoping to Fulfill "Under the Pot" Promise One Day
The HK Police has issued an notice against a march request from LSD and three other civic groups. As such, Ms. Hong and Ms. Wong started by themselves today at 2pm to march from Victoria Park, following the route from previous years. At around 5pm, they had arrived outside of Government HQ.
Ms. Hong pointed out that she had participated in the July 1st march for many years. "If they don't let us walk, then I'll walk myself. I think this is not a issue." Ms. Wong said, a note of resentment in her voice. "There's a lot I want to hold on to, so I'll do what I can ".
Out of the many times she's been to GHQ, Ms. Hong said, the most profound time was on June 12 two years ago, when she had tasted tear gas for the first time in her life here. Seeing that all these places from the past are now behind giant barriers, Ms. Hong can only sigh. Comparing today's two-person march to the million marching in the streets in the past, Ms. Wong lamented, "I would be lying to you if I don't feel down, but I'm trying to keep myself from collapsing." Ms. Hong also pointed out that Hongkongers need rest, but hoped that we understand that "resting is preparing for a longer road ahead."
Ms. Hong said that if there is an opportunity to march, her short term demands would be unfreezing Apple Daily's assets, and releasing all political prisoners. Long term demands would be for authentic, fair elections. She also had a message for Hongkongers: to "see hope in the far off future" and for officials to "not serve the authority, but Hongkongers."
Although the "under the pot" area in LegCo has now been cordoned off, the two of them went as close as possible and took photos with their stuffed animal companions, laughing bitterly, "Hopefully one day, we can all fulfill our promise to meet 'under the pot'."
