Streetside Banners of Song Lyrics for a Season of Heavy Hearts in Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, banners with social movement-themed song lyrics appeared on the streets of Mongkok over the past few weeks, in courtesy of Mongkok North District Councilor Siu Tak-kin.

He hung up these banners at locations allotted to him as a district councillor, in order to bring the locals some cheer and blessings.

Citizens joked that these banners "come with sound" and the now-familiar songs seem to play in their heads as soon as they read the lyrics.

The lyrics on the banners read:

"Stars may fade, as darkness fills the air
Through the mist a solitary trumpet flares"

"If I could be by your side, through the good times and the bad -
That's already good enough"

"In the end, this is a revolution without winners
But I wish that you would - please -
stay and bear witness with me"

"If there are rioters on this planet,
Is this what they would be like?"

During the 71st Japan's #NHK television special Kohaku Uta Gassen that was held on the last day of 2020, an introductory video clip was shown during Japanese singer Seiko Matsuda’s performance of “Ruiiro no Chikyu 2020”, depicting all the crises the world had faced in 2020.

The video included footages of the coronavirus pandemic and many conflicts from around the world during 2020. Police-civilian clashes in Hong Kong, the United States, and Thailand were also shown.
