Chef Beseiged in PolyU Cooks Christmas Feast For Free
During the police siege of Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU), “Mr Chef” has stayed inside throughout to provide meals for those besieged. After he had left the campus, he was sent to Siu Lam Psychiatric Centre owing to his conditions. He was discharged from the hospital on December 20.
Glory Restaurant (Guong Wing Bing Sutt), a protest-friendly restaurant, posted on Facebook indicating that they were in touch with “Mr Chef”, as Mr. Chef expressed his wish, “I want to cook a Christmas Feast for all these kids for free!”
After discussions, the restaurant decided to lend their venue to “Mr Chef” to offer a feast on the day of Christmas #Dec25.
The restaurant has announced their temporary closure between 1700 and 1900 on December 25 for preparation. Then Christmas meal will be offered for free during 5 hours.
“Mr Chef wants no money for the feast, but love, courage and justice,” writes the Facebook post. Half of the revenue, including the costs, will be donated to charity, while the other half will go to “Mr. Chef Fund” to support the next meal.
A tips box will be available at the scene.

China Informs 12 Hong Kong Youths' Families of Their Trial Only 3 Days Prior on Christmas Day
On the Christmas Day of 2020, the families of the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers detained in China not only could not see their loved ones; seven families also received a last-minute notice from the lawyers appointed by the Chinese Government that the trial of ten of the 12 Hongkongers would take place on Dec 28, 2020, which was in less than 3 days including the public holidays.
Among the 12 Hongkongers detained by the Chinese authorities since August 2020, ten of them will face trial on Dec 28, 2020 at the Yantian Court in China, but only seven families received such a notice.
The Chinese court told the media that it belonged to a "secret case" and no public and media would be allowed to audit. The trial is also not listed in the timetable of the Yantian People's Court.
The #Save12HKYouths Concern Group released a statement on Dec 25, 2020, demanding the delivery of confirmed, open and clear information of the trials of the 12 Hongkongers. They also demanded the presence of their families, the lawyers hired by their families, Hong Kong and international media and diplomats from different countries to be allowed in court.
The families also demanded the Chinese authorities to allow them to pay the prison a visit, were the detained Hongkongers to be sentenced; and the HKSAR government to send representatives to make sure the civil rights of the Hongkongers could be protected.

Hongkonger: First Christmas Without Cinema
In December 2019, COVID-19 was spread from Wuhan to other parts of China. In Spring 2020, the coronavirus pandemic was hitting the whole world.
At Christmas 2020, COVID-19 is still menacing the world, causing the separation of families, the suspension of festive activities and the closure of businesses including restaurants and theatres.
The following is a Hong Kong cinephille's contemplation for Christmas 2020:
"When friendship and relationship are vulnerable, you thought at least the Cinema would be there for you. This year, even the Cinema was unwell.
Next year today, you might be in the UK, Australia, Canada and Taiwan. Let's hope there will still be cinemas. Even when we are apart, we can still dream the same dream together inside the cinema, somewhere.
I hope we have not yet become "Alice in the Borderland"; we have a "Sweet Home"; and, most importantly, we shall remember to stay "#Alive".
Although bad news find their way to us everyday, I wish everyone still a merry Christmas."

City University of Hong Kong Demands Student Union to Remove Pro-democracy Monument
Before the Christmas day of 2021, several universities in Hong Kong destroyed and removed monuments in commemoration of the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre. They include the Pillar of Shame in the University of Hong Kong; the Statue of the Goddess of Democracy in the Chinese University of Hong Kong; and a commemorative relief in Hong Kong Lingnan University.
The student union of the City University of Hong Kong (#CityU) was demanded by the University Management to remove the Statue of the Goddess of Democracy located next to the Wall of Democracy.
On December 24, 2021, the Student Union released a statement on Facebook, stating that they will preserve the statue in another location so as to avoid damage.
In the statement, the Student Union expressed that "history and public remembrance can longer be stored in objects, but will live forever in our memory. The responsibility of our generation of Hongkongers is to remember and pass on our memories."

New School for Democracy Announces Rebuilding #PillarofShame in #Taiwan: "One Pillar Falls, Thousands More Will Be Raised"
In December 2021, #TiananmenMassacre memorials in three universities across Hong Kong were taken down within 48 hours. They included the Pillar Of Shame in the University of Hong Kong (#HKU).
On December 24, 2021, Taiwan's New School for Democracy announced their plan to rebuild the pillar at the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. They will also invite the pillar's creator #JensGalschiøt to unveil it on the June 4 night vigil in 2022.
"HKU tore down one pillar, but thousands more are being raised across the world," said the School. A 3D scan of the original pillar at HKU has been made available online for download.
The New School for Democracy also held a press conference titled "Don't Trample Human Rights and Affections with 'National Security'", in which they voiced their solidarity with Chinese human rights activists Zhang Zhan, Guo Feixiong, and Tang Jitian. The group called on Beijing to release the the three detained activists and let them be reunited with their families.
President of the New School for Democracy Association Zeng Jianyuan decried HKU's actions as destroying the university's spirit of autonomy.
Destroying "the Pillar of Shame for June 4", as he called it, is equivalent to erecting an invisible pillar of shame for academic freedom. Zeng announced that the Pillar will be rebuilt in Taiwan, and it will carry the memories of the Tiananmen Massacre as well as Hong Kong's Anti-ELAB movement.

Sculptor of dismantled Tiananmen statue says damage symbolic of Hong Kong struggle
The sculptor of a statue commemorating the victims of China's 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown said on Friday that its removal from a Hong Kong university was "brutal" but any damage would be symbolic of recent changes in the city under Chinese rule.
The eight-metre (26-foot) sculpture of anguished human torsos was one of the few remaining public memorials in the former British colony to remember the crackdown on pro-democracy protesters - a taboo topic in mainland China, where it cannot be publicly commemorated.

Two more Tiananmen monuments removed from Hong Kong universities
Two more Hong Kong universities removed on Friday public monuments to the 1989 Tiananmen protests in Beijing, following the dismantling of a sculpture commemorating victims of the crackdown at another university this week.
The removals at Chinese University and Lingnan University in the global financial hub came as authorities have been clamping down under a national security law imposed by China.
Human rights activists say the law is being used to suppress civil society, jail democracy campaigners and curb basic freedoms, but authorities say the security laws have restored stability after mass protests in 2019.
