And yet they still went on.
This is the same cry in the wearying darkness. Despite the deepening menace, the protestors still chanted, loud and unafraid, calling forth the Golden Sun to purge away the looming gloom, upon the waxing Moon to light their path. "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times!"

24-year-old Hongkonger Combating Against Rare Disease: "This disease is painful, but I don't want to die!"
24-year-old Sheryl Ng is in dire need for a lung transplant to save her life; her doctors say that this is "Sheryl's only hope". Her family is appealing to the public with type O blood to donate both their lungs after death.
Sheryl is afflicted with aplastic anaemia, a disease which caused her body to produce insufficient blood cells. Ever since developing the condition in her teenage years, Sheryl has needed frequent blood transfusions to replenish her blood cells and platelets. After receiving a bone marrow transplant late last year, however, she suffered a complication known as pulmonary vein occlusion, blocking her blood circulation. She is now in ICU where her life is sustained by heart-lung machine.
Sheryl's mother describes her as a brave and strong woman, enduring years of frequent hospital visits without complaint.
One time, Sheryl phoned her from her hospital bed saying, "this disease is painful, but I don't want to die"; Sheryl still has a lot of fight left in her. Her father said that she went through difficult emotional struggles, at one point saying that she "wanted to die", but ultimately she wanted to fight for her life to the very end. Even now, he says, she continues to research online for new information on her disease.
Sheryl's parents are hoping for a kind-hearted donor to come forward, to "extend life with life". Ever since developing the disease, they said, Sheryl's daily life is filled with restrictions: she could not go on field trips with her high school class, and she would have breathing difficulties when riding planes, roller coasters, or even simply walking up stairs.

“Hong Kong Cannot Die”, Says 97-year-old Protestor
1033 | Admiralty Centre
Over 50 officers tried to disperse members of the public who were standing outside of McDonalds. Many were stopped and searched. Shortly after, the yellow flag is hoisted. Cordons were also set up at Admiralty Centre and at the MTR Station, which resulted in a middle-aged woman shouted “Discuss it in a civil manner!”
As observed by a Stand News reporter, there were about 20 people at the area. Most of them left when the police started to search them, leaving a few other journalists.
1041 |
97-year-old Mr. Wong left his home in Cheung Sha Wan early in the morning in order to protest outside the Legislative Council, hoping to halt the Second Reading of the National Anthem Bill. He chose to sit in outside of the McDonalds at Admiralty Centre. When the riot police set up cordon lines around Admiralty Center, he was also being surrounded.
Mr. Wong told InMedia journalists that he holds no hope in the future, but still believes that the younger generations should continue to fight for the future. “It’s hopeless. But so what?” He lamented over the growing pressure from the CPC on Hongkongers, but he also believes that the strength of resistance will only grow. “I am already very old. It’s ok for me to die. But not Hong Kong!”

Hong Kong University Students' Union Commemorates the 75th Anniversary of Liberation Day in Hong Kong
August 31, 2020 is the 75th anniversary of Hong Kong’s Liberation Day since 1945. The Hong Kong University Students’ Union held a flower-laying ceremony at the Memorial Garden of the Hong Kong City Hall to mourn the Allied soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend Hong Kong during World War II.
Before the ceremony commenced, a large number of police officers came to drive away citizens. Respecting the gathering ban, the students' union presented flowers in groups of two to the Cenotaph.
The president of the Hong Kong University Students' Union, Jeh Tsz-lam, criticized the police's opposition to the mourning ceremony on the grounds of gathering restrictions.
Jeh pointed out that Hongkongers constitute a connected community that has faced many oppressions over the course of history. "The people of Hong Kong defended this land of freedom." She believes that just as Hongkongers survived the Japanese occupation during three years and eight months, as long as Hongkongers have hope, they will usher in a bright future just like what the Liberation Day has meant.
Before 1997, the last Monday of August is declared as the Liberation Day to commemorate the resumption of order in Hong Kong after the Japanese force surrendered to the Allies in 1945.

Daring Chief Editor in #CitizenNews Welcomes Journalists who Left #CableNews on #MassResignation: “We Have Nothing to Lose”
On December 1, 2020, Cable News in Hong Kong announced a major layoff plan after a series of personnel change in the management. The move has triggered a resignation en masse in the station’s newsroom, including 11 journalists and editors of the #ChinaNews team, as a sign of protest.
On January 18, 2021, the 11 of them announced joining of an online news platform, #CitizenNews, and continue their work on China News.
Former Assignment Editor of Cable News, Wong Lai-ping, expressed that it was a spontaneous action in last December when they resigned together in response to the station’s arbitrary layoff plan.
“We have never thought about coming together again. We even doubted whether we should continue working in the media industry.” However, many encouraged them to carry on their journalistic profession and continue to work as a team.
“So we talked among ourselves and agreed to work together with a focus on China News as we always do.”
The Chief Editor of Citizen News, Li Yue-wah said that the collaboration is “unplanned” and the consensus was reached after discussions following the mass resignation in last December.
She stressed that “This is worth trying as we have nothing to lose.” She called it an act “to smash the cooking pots and sink the boats.”
Li also revealed that since its launch 4 years ago, Citizen News has yet to balance its book. They initially set a target at 4,000 subscribers, for each paying a monthly fee of HK$100. “We are still falling short of this target,” Li sighed.
Adding 11 members of the former China News team from Cable News will double the current workforce of Citizen News. In addition, the news platform is planning to move to a bigger office with live-broadcast facilities. “This is going to double our expenses.” Li added.
She further explained that the platform is not going to pend on crowdfunding, which impact is believed to be short-lived. Instead, it is keen on expanding its subscription base to facilitate long-term development.

HK #Lyricist Finds #Hope in #NextGeneration: "The Worst Times Can Bring About the Best Music"
In a TV program aired in Hong Kong on April 23, 2021, the RTHK journalist interviewed critically acclaimed lyricist and scholar #ChowYiuFai about his experiences teaching lyric writing in university in the past 10 years since his return to Hong Kong.
He teaches students to practice their creative process continuously in their daily lives, in order to keep their skills and senses sharp, and not to grow desensitized in their daily routines.
He finds that his students bring him a lot of hope. "When this world has young people like them, how could I give up?"
Chow says that there are always limitations when working in creative fields. His approach to songwriting is to stay true to reality as he knows it, and write within a given premise.
He believes that the worst times can bring about the best music. "When you feel very safe, and the whole world seems at peace, it's a frighteningly apathetic state of mind to be in."
