HK Drifters Received Calls Asking to Vote in the LegCo Election
The Hong Kong Government and a number of companies and organisations had been urging voters to vote in the recent Legislative Council Election. A number of Gangpiao (also known as Hong Kong drifters) told the Citizen News that they had constantly been urged to vote on Dec 19, 2021 (Polling Day) by Chinese-funded organisations and associations of Chinese fellow townsmen, describing it as a "soul-chasing call".
Some of them were worried about the authority treating them unfairly later on if they did not vote in the election. On the same day, a lot of posts on WeChat showed their participation in the election. Some of them were even suspected of breaking the law, as they took photos of their ballots.
A Gangpiao indicated that a number of them were afraid of the consequences if they were found not voting, as they experienced much more pressure than before, and that despite doing their best, would unfortunately go against the law in order to show their participation.
Editor’s Note: According to Cap. 541D(45)(2), a person who, on polling day, films or takes photographs or makes any audio or video recording within a polling station without the express permission of the Presiding Officer; or any member of the Commission; or the express permission, in writing, of the Returning Officer for the constituency or constituencies for which the polling station is used for polling, commits an offence.

Kyiv's Independence Square, which formerly housed some of the most spectacular decorations, is now down to just one piece. A beautiful Christmas tree.
A Twitter user shared images of the city's Christmas displays in the previous years: 2019, 2020, 2021, and - in stark contrast, 2022.
"Russians try to steal normal life away from our citizens, but we won’t give them a chance to steal the biggest holidays –- the New Year and Christmas -- from our children," the city's mayor Vitali Klitschko said when unveiling the tree.
Kyiv city hall had hesitated to put up the tree, the mayor said, not least because weeks of Russian attacks on energy infrastructures have worn down the Ukrainian power grid. But the city hall adapted, powering the tree's fairy lights with a diesel generator and reusing some decorations from previous years.
"We called it 'the Christmas tree of Ukrainian invincibility', since they are doing everything for the children to have a holiday despite difficult times."
