TLDR: 就算失望，不能絕望。共勉之。

This is not a post recounting the details of the #UmbrellaRevolution so much as what it stood for and how it informed the #fightforfreedom in #HongKong. For years, #HKers had been struggling to defend our rights and values from the #CCP. The #UmbrellaMovement in 2014 was for many an awakening to the root cause of the social problems in #HK - the lack of a popularly mandated government as ours was (and is) but a #Beijing puppet.

The experience of 2014 produced the now much more mainstream indigenous ideology and inspired new protest tactics in 2019. Hong Kong has never stopped evolving to cope with challenges and does not intend to stop now. "Be water", the city-wide pro-democracy movement in 2019 taught us, even though it may be dark and the suffering ahead seem endless, don't lose heart. We will remember who we are, what we stand for, persevere and outlive the tyrant.

2024年9月28日，是香港「雨傘運動」爆發十週年。十年前，香港民主派支持者為了爭取一個沒有篩選機制的普選制度，佔領政府總部外的道路，揭開為期79天的佔領運動。

在抗議活動中，金鐘、銅鑼灣和旺角的主要地區被佔領，示威者搭起帳篷並設置路障，2014年9月28日，香港警方在金鐘夏慤道對示威者進行大規模驅散行動，施放自1997年主權移交後的首發催淚彈。

這場運動為香港的公民社會帶來了重大翻轉，激發了年輕人的民主意識與參與政治活動的熱情，但亦加劇了社會群體的分裂，也未換來政府的讓步。

12月15日，警方完全清理了所有的示威營地後，這場運動正式落幕。
