Pro-democracy CafĆ© in Hong Kong Unveils Mural to Encourage Citizensā Fight for Freedom
Located in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, Hop Fat CafƩ is a popular local restaurant in support of pro-democracy values.
During the 2019 Anti-ELAB Movement, the cafƩ owner displayed a 10-feet wall painting featuring protest symbols such as the LiHKG pig, pepe, and a masked protester couple holding each other amidst the heavy smog of tear gas.
18 months later, the cafƩ was closed in August 2021 for renovation. When it re-opens in early November 2021, the newly refurbished cafƩ featured a mural depicting a group of people climbing a hill while helping each other.
The mural made reference to one of the oft-used protest slogans, å å¼ē¬å±± åčŖåŖå, literally meaning brothers climbing mountains together by their own efforts.
Protest icons like gas masks, yellow hamlets, yellow hearts and black umbrellas continued to be seen on the wall.
A famous line from Les Miserable was qouted and prominently highlighted: "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." Seemingly, Hongkongers are encouraging one another to hang on and resist during difficult times.
