HKUST Students Held Memorial for Urumqi Fire Victims
Around 9pm on Nov 27, mainland students at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (#HKUST) gathered at the seafront in memory of the victims of the fatal apartment fire in Urumqi. They laid down paper cranes and candles, arranging them to form "11.24", the date of the fire. Students also placed candles and memorial messages at the university's north gate.
One person came dressed in the white protective gear often worn by Chinese anti-pandemic personnel who carried out lockdown and testing procedures. He marched from the seafront to the north gate, carrying a sign parodying the notices left on Chinese websites after being blocked by censors.

Chinese Students Hold Posters and Flowers on HKU Campus;
Police arrived to record their personal information
According to the #UnderGrad, an official publication of #HKUSU, there were at least 2 #Chinese students holding leaflets and flowers at the university on 27 Nov to mourn the victims of the #Xinjiang #Urumqi fire. Police arrived after the university reported the incident; officers recorded personal information of the students involved before leaving.
A fire broke out in a residential building in Xinjiang Urumqi on the evening of 24 Nov. It is said that at least 20 people were killed, including many children. The youngest deceased was only aged 3.
On Chinese social media, many questioned whether the #lockdown measures obstructed the rescue. Some fire trucks were suspected to be unable to approach the fire. A few video clips also showed workers in white PPE appeared to be breaking down fences and barricades.
Since the accident, mourning activities sprang up in many cities across China. Institutions like #CommunicationUniversityofChina and #BeijingUniversity appeared to have opposition movements. #TsinghuaUniversity students gathered and raised a piece of white paper to protest. In #Shanghai, groups of people were even chanting slogan, "Let the people go".
