HK Government Ambushes To Kwa Wan and Tuen Mun with Mandatory Lockdowns
On the evening of Saturday, Feb 6, 2021, the Hong Kong government rolled out multi-district lockdowns again in To Kwa Wan and Tuen Mun.
The police sealed off Block 9 of Gold Coast in Tuen Mun and Wah Fat Building at Ma Hang Chung Road in To Kwa Wan (see photos) as the “restricted zones”.
The residential building in To Kwa Wan has been already included in the mandatory testing list, before the lockdown plan was announced.
The government did not explain why a lockdown was neccesary, but claimed that if residents can prove thay were tested negative in the past two days, they could be exempted from the mandatory #covid19 testing.
Insofar, the Hong Kong government only found confirmed cases at a positive rate of 0.17% and 0.003% in the first two mandatory lockdowns undertaken on Jan 23 and Jan 26, 2021. No cases were found in all the lockdowns that followed.

HK Government Imposes Lockdown on Residential Building Despite Mandatory Testing Order Issued 1 Day Ago
#DistrictCouncilor Lai Kwong-wai spoke to the media on Feb 6, 2021, next to the "restricted area" sealed off by the Hong Kong Police on Ma Hang Chung Road in To Kwa Wan.
In response to the government's ambush-style lockdown of Wah Fat Building, the District Councilor pointed out that the building has been enlisted on the mandatory test one day ago. This means that the residents were already required to undergo #Covid19 testing, even without the imposition of the lockdown.
Many residents could not see why the government had to enforce an additional lockdown on a Saturday.
Lai also expressed concern about the elderly homes in the area. He said if the government imposed lockdown in those buildings, the impacts would be unimaginable.

One Year Since the Death of #Covid19 #Whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang in China
One year ago on Feb 6, 2020, Dr. Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist in Wuhan, died of the coronavirus in China.
At the first epicenter of the coronavirus in China, he revealed news of the outbreak of #WuhanPneumonia on Chinese social media platform as early as on December 30, 2019. He was later arrested by the Chinese Communist Party government for "publishing false statements."
On February 1, 2020, he announced himself having contracted the coronavirus. The news of his death was covered up and announced only later by the Chinese authorities, in order to control the emotion of the population.
While the #CCP accused Dr.Li of being a "rumour monger" when he was alive, the Chinese authorities changed their narrative and praised him after his death.

Sweeping victory for pro-HongKongers councilor to defend her seat in city council
An independent councilor in Taiwan’s Kaohsiung city kept her seat despite an attempt by supporters of a pro-Beijing party to kick her out in a recall election.
Huang Chieh, a prominent supporter of Hong Kong’s democracy movement, prevailed as city councilor in the Kaohsiung district of Fengshan after more than 65,200 people rejected the motion to unseat her, compared with the 55,300 or so who voted yes.
At least 41.5%, or 121,000 voters, out of the 291,000 eligible cast ballots in the weekend poll.
The campaign against Huang was largely seen as one of a number of retaliatory moves driven by supporters of the opposition party Kuomintang. One of the reasons for seeking to oust Huang was that she had “illegally intervened in ‘Hong Kong violence’ by arranging for donations of supplies” to back the city’s pro-democracy movement, said the Central Election Commission, Taiwan’s statutory agency managing elections.

Agnes Chow Mentioned in the Entrance Exam of a Prestigious Japanese Junior High schoo
Recently, many private junior high schools in Japan are holding entrance exams. An exam question at the Seiko Gakuin Junior & Senior High School, a prestigious school in Yokohama, sparked discussions between netizens in Hong Kong and Japan because the question mentioned Agnes Chow, the National Security Law and Keyakizaka46’s song “Fukyōwaon”.
The question appeared in the Social Studies paper, where an Asahi Shimbun newspaper article published on August 2020 was chosen and the candidates needed to answer questions accordingly. The article narrates how Agnes Chow was arrested and released, and the fact that she mentioned the song “Fukyōwaon” (means discordant sound) kept coming to her mind when she was held in custody, making her determined to protect her home. This article has attracted a lot of attention at that time.
Apart from asking where it happened and who was involved in the exam question, it also mentioned “be water”, one of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement slogan, quoting Xunzi (a Chinese Confucian philosopher) on his saying “water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat”, subsequently asking the student candidate to define the meaning of “water”. The fourth question asked the candidates to answer in one sentence how they have experienced having denied their freedom. The last question linked Agnes’s arrest to Article 21 of the Japanese Constitution and asked the candidate to fill in what freedom is protected under this law.

Businessman from China Exempted from Quarantine in Hong Kong Confirmed with Coronavirus
A 39-year-old businessman exempted from quarantine in Hong Kong has been confirmed positive after he arrived in Hong Kong from China. However, the Department of Health in Hong Kong did not take an initiative to mention this case at the press conference.
Dr. Chuang Shuk-Kwan, Head of Communicable Disease Branch spoke about the case after being continuously questioned by the media.
The patient, who was exempted from compulsory quarantine, lives in Shenzhen and arrived in Hong Kong on January 23, 2021. He started to get sick on January 30.
The patient has not been to Hong Kong for one year and has been working in China. The Hong Kong government official pointed out that “he has a company in Hong Kong, but it seems that he hasn’t been going to work there”.
The Department of Health said they will communicate with Chinese health authorities since the process to trace his previous activity in China needs to be carried out by them.
The patient was tested negative in China on January 21, 2021 and showed symptoms of a headache on Jan 30. He was confirmed positive on February 3. He was in Hong Kong from January 23 until the onset of his illness.
The man has shopped at Citygate in Tung Chung and did not do any other activities. He was in Shenzhen during the other half of his incubation period.
Chuang explained that “[The patient] spent half the [incubation] period in Shenzhen and half in Hong Kong. We decided to treat it as a 'local case' since there are many cases in Hong Kong but very few in China.”

Citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan Seen Looking Haggard After Hunger Strike in Chinese Prison
The photos of citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan's appearance in court have been released. Zhang is said to have been undergoing a hunger strike for six months, and is seen looking haggard and in a wheelchair when appearing before the court accompanied by two court police in China.
Wang Jianhong, a supporter of the #FreeZhangZhan movement, posted the photos on Twitter, which were taken back in 28 December 2020 when Zhang stood trial at Shanghai Pudong People's Court.
The tweet mentioned Zhang was bound and forced to face the court, stating that, "the wheelchair she was in had a wide belt binding her to the back of her wheelchair preventing movement. She was wearing handcuffs." The tweet also mentioned that Zhang's mother stated to the media that Zhang looked "haggard and thin to the bone" when looked from behind.
Zhang Zhan, who conducted a hunger strike and once rebuked a judge with "This is where we judge you for your sins, not mine", was convicted of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" after posting videos on quarantine measures and the medical situation in Wuhan, and sentenced to four years in prison.
Zhang's lawyer had reported seeing Zhang with a NG tube, while being bound around the wrists and waist.

University Student in Hong Kong Develops a Game to Reenact Yuen Long 7.21 Mob Attack: “The Reality is As Absurd As a Game World”
The Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Protests initiated the democracy movement in Hong Kong since 2019. Although street protests have become scarce, the fight for freedom continues in various creative works.
The July 21 mob attack in Yuen Long, the Lennon Wall and the human chains formed by Hong Kong students and citizens became the inspiration to a computer game developed by #Mighcty, a university student in Hong Kong.
“I hope my game players can know what HongKongers have been experiencing.”
Mighcty, a graduating university student, created, on his own, “The Legacy of Datura”, a 2D minimalist role-playing game:
https://mighcty.itch.io/legacy-of-datura
The protagonist, Cyrus, was an ordinary secondary school student, who gained magical power when accidentally stepping into a world of magic, causing attention from the magical “parliament”. When Cyrus returned to his won world, he witnessed citizens being attacked in a tran station by a group of armed men dressed in white. He could not help but use his power to save the passengers, thus beginning his adventurous story.
“The police should uphold justice and protect the citizens, but nothing was done by a organisation who was supposed to be the fairest and most justified," Mighcty said that the 7.21 Yuen Long mob attack in reality ruined his trust in the government. Therefore, he decided to bring in current events into the game which was still in the conceptual stage.
“At first, I only wanted to develop a game to introduce Hong Kong, such as her tourist spots and food culture. But lately, it’s like I don’t know about this Hong Kong anymore. I feel that it is necessary to explain why the city became the way she is now.”

Hong Kong font designer’s bold effort to preserve Cantonese culture
//In January, Moodmen Font launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise HK$1 million for Reborn Font, with the goal of publishing designs for more than 5,000 traditional Chinese characters that Chan hopes to conserve.
“If you say that it does not matter whether it is traditional or simplified Chinese characters as long as people can understand it, then you’re not really a Hongkonger… If you think like that, you’re not one of those defending traditional Chinese characters.”
The font designer hoped to appeal to those who use traditional Chinese characters.
“You don’t have to be especially proud of it, but when it’s your mother-tongue, such as Cantonese, when there are cultures that you don’t want to see disappear, you have to do something to defend them.”//

Later on when the magistrate asked Koo whether he understood the charges against him, Koo shouted, “Human rights rank above the right of states, and the people are more important than the state. I am not guilty.”
He was soon interrupted by the judge and ordered to cease shouting.
Without a legal representative, Koo applied for bail on his own, and was denied. He was not required to enter a plea as the Judge adjourned the case to April 1, 2022. Koo would be remanded in custody until then.
