是我們忘記了，
還是我們害怕記得起？
每個月最後的一天，
每一束白色的鮮花，
每一線沁人的檀香。
車廂中的嚎哭還未散走，
遺留下的血跡卻已淡去，
行人煞有其事低頭走過，
我們也都無法回到日常。
一天沉怨未雪，
一日抗爭未完，
香港人毋忘香港事。
我們永遠不會忘記，
我們永遠不會原諒。
331！太子見！
Are we being forgetful,
Or are we too afraid to remember?
On the last day of every month,
Every bonquet of white flowers,
Each wisp of sandalwood incense.
The cries in the train cabin have not dissipated,
Though the blood shed might have faded,
Passers-by now avoid their sights of the station,
We cannot go back to the time before.
As long as justice is still denied,
the fight is not over,
Hongkongers should not give up on Hong Kong matter.
We'll never forget.
We'll never forgive.
3.31 See you in Prince Edward.

風吹不走大家的思念，
風吹不散心中的熱度。
永遠記得走在前面的手足，
永遠記得我們僅餘的自由。
光復香港，時代革命。
是你們教會我們的勇氣，
是你們指引我們的方向，
那一座還未登峰的山嶺，
還在等待我們漫步前行。
兄弟爬山，各自努力。
一天沉怨未雪，
一日抗爭未完，
香港人毋忘香港事。
我們永遠不會忘記，
我們永遠不會原諒。

Our determination cannot be blown away by wind;
Flame in our hearts will not be extinguished by wind either.
We will always remember those walking ahead of us during the movement,
We, too, are aware of our eroding freedom.
Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution
of Our Times.
We show each other what courage means,
We support each other from different directions.
That mountain where we still haven’t reached the top,
is still waiting for us to walk through it.
We Fight On, In Each of His Own Way.
The protest will not end until all the truths are revealed.
We can never forget,
We can never forgive.
See you in Prince Edward on March 31.

我們會記得831那一夜的傷痛，
正如我們會記得堅拒封關的政府，
無論是經歷幾多次的教訓，
沒有民意授權的人，
總是甚麼也學不來，
因為政府不需要向市民負責，
只需要解決提出問題的人；
因為政府只會怪責罷工的醫護，
卻忘了他們付出了生命作代價。
康復香港，
時代抗疫，
香港人與醫護同行，
香港人絕不會認命。
We'll remember the pain of August 31,
As we'll remember the government's refusal to lock down the border.
No matter how many lessons learnt,
A government without public approval,
Will never learn.
Because the government will not be held accountable to its citizens,
It only pressurizes the person who raised the issue.
Because the government will only blame the medical staff who went on strike,
But take no notice that they are putting their lives at risk.
Revive Hong Kong
Prevent the epidemic of our times
HongKongers stand in solidarity with medics
HongKongers will never surrender

民意是甚麼？
是政府任由疫情惡化，
是政府拒絕源頭阻截，
番是與市民為敵的事，
就是政府眼中的民意。
酒吧可以繼續經營，
但卻不被准許賣酒類飲品，
食肆可以繼續經營，
但站在店外等候卻會被控，
公園需要關閉，
戲院需要暫停，
但辦公室還是一切如常。
香港有一個荒謬的政府，
香港有一支荒謬的警隊，
香港有一位荒謬的特首。
What is public opinion?
The government, unelected, allows the epidemic to exacerbate.
The government, unelected, refuses to cut off links to the source of the virus.
Anything that the public do not want,
Is apparently the so-called "public opinion" of the government.
Bars can continue to operate without alcohol.
Restaurants can continue to run
While dining in is banned.
Parks and cinemas are to be closed,
While many are required to work in offices as usual.
Hong Kong has an unscrupulous government,
Hong Kong has a deplorable police force,
And Hong Kong has a degenerate Chief Executive.

Letter to Hong Kongers: Review of the 5.1 Golden week
Dear Hong Kongers:
What did 5.1 Golden Week means to you in the past? A week of nationwide discounts? A week of crowded street full of Mandarin speaking people and their suitcases?
I hope that "Hongkonger's 5.1 Golden Week" is turning into a day marked with faith and unity.
Patronizing 'Yellow shops' (shops that support the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong) and forming a "Yellow Economic Circle", rather than going to a 'Blue shop' (shops that are pro-police and pro-government) is seen as a way for people to support the protest movement using peaceful means since. There are some mobile apps that guide consumers to yellow businesses across the city. You will also be able to spot a yellow shop by banners or stickers at the entrance of their shops.
Some of them do not just shiebtheur support with their ideals. They provide free meal for pro-democracy protesters who are in need, and they also donate money to such Non-profit organisation that provide aid and assistance to protesters in need of financial assistance.
However, since the outbreak of Covid-19, the government placed a ban on gatherings of more than four people. This has affected small businesses the most. Restaurants are required to operate at half their capacity and set tables at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) apart, leading to a large number of restaurants not being able to sustain their businesses through this trying period.
With these problems at hand, Hong Kongers came up with an online campaign called "Hongkonger's 5.1 Golden Week", rallying the people to visit and patronize yellow shops and businesses over the long May Day weekend.
Hong Kong anti-government protesters queued outside shops and businesses that openly support the democracy movement on Friday, as a gesture of solidarity and support for "Yellow Economic Circle".
As a result, the Central Government Liaison Office of HKSAR condemned the people for ignoring the rules of the free market, calling it a political abduction of the economy. What that's mean?
This goes to show one thing, that the power of "Yellow Economic Circle" is strong enough to pit pressure on the government. Their condemnation only reveals their fear. It goes to show the effectiveness of the "Yellow Economic Circle".
"We might not be able to come out and protest every day due to the pandemic, but supporting yellow shops in our daily life is something everyone can do - it's a way of making a difference even in our daily life," said Ma, one of supporters of Hongkonger's 5.1 Golden week.
Hong Kongers have in fact been finding creative ways to fight for their freedom, using platforms such as the Nintendo Switch game, Animal Crossing, where they decorate their islands with pro-democracy banners.
In the recent months and years, we can clearly see that Beijing is long it's patience, and it is tightening it's grip on our freedom. In addition, our protests and gatherings were interrupted due to the pandemic and unreasonable restrictions that came as a result of it.
Despite all these challenges, we will never forget the people who came out on the streets and made sacrifices for Hong Kong's future.
The success of Hong Kong's 5.1 Golden Week is a direct stand against the crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in April, where a few prominent pro-democracy figures were suddenly arrested.
These actions have not discouraged us. In fact, it added fuel to the fire of persistence. Hong Kongers will fight until they are liberated.

A very persistent Hong Konger

毋忘·殤痛
這天由晚上8點開始，
我在這裡坐了整整的4小時，
看著對面馬路上停泊了9部警車，
眼前是點燃蠟燭放下的路人，
有的是上了年紀的老人，
有的是只得幾歲的小朋友。
每個月我都會來到這裡2次，
為的不是甚麼新聞價值，
為的不是甚麼衝突場面，
我是希望...希望他們能夠知道，
我們從沒有忘記過。
Remembrance of the Lost
On this day, starting from 8pm
I had been sitting here for 4 hours
I was looking at 9 police vehicles parked on the road
Facing me were passersby who put down burning candles
Some were old
And some were young, so young
Each month I would come here twice
Not for any exclusive news
Nor for any scene of conflict
I just wish... wish that they could know
That we never forgot them
And we never will

Be Water, Be On Fire
Underneath the gleaming city of glass and steel, a flame of flesh and blood has been relit,
a flame ignited by pure grit, determination and idealism.
Now the phantoms of winter have faded, and summer has arrived.
With heat the fire shall roar once more like it did,
across the central plains for thousands of years.
But this year, winter and spring have allowed the grass to grow.
Now that summer has come again, adding more fuel for fire on the scorched prairie.
The fire shall roar brighter and hotter than it ever has, over the shadowy bays of this fragrant harbour.
