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.

With the spiralling madness in #HongKong these days, we wonder... what would #AppleDaily say if they were still around? They would point out the lies and arrogance of the #CCP puppet government, they would expose the web of political networks among officials attending the stupid Witman Hung birthday parties, they would certainly report on the impossible sufferings #HKers are put thru with these crazy lockdown rules.
-
What does the demise of Apple Daily mean? That the CCP would bend to nothing to crush its opposition, and #HK serves as an example to the world.

No words anymore, or perhaps these: we can humble as dust, not twisted as maggots.

Do you understand what the #CCP is talking about? Don't worry if you don't, it wasn't supposed to make sense. 🙃
