Memorial for the Deceased of HK Protest

Lo Hiu Yan, a Year 2 student from The Education University of Hong Kong, leapt to her death on 29 June, 2019. At the one-year mark of her death, The Education University of Hong Kong Students' Union organized a memorial for Miss Lo and Miss Zhita Wu, an alumni who also leapt to her death on 30 June last year.

A moment of silence was observed before the presentation of flowers. "Glory to Hong Kong" was played. After the memorial, the organizers dedicated a comment board for those who wished to leave their thoughts.

The memorial was not open to the public according to the President of the Provisional Executive Council of Students’ Union of the University, Miss Kris Wong Wing-ki. The university has set a limit to the number of participants due to the pandemic. Only students of the university, alumni and representatives of each higher education institution were given access into the university to pay their tributes.
