Hong Kong Badminton Signs "5+1" After Winning a Match
Lee Cheuk Yiu, an athlete representing Hong Kong in the Yonex-Sunrise Hong Kong Open Badminton Tournament, has defeated his opponent from Thailand in the badminton singles category on November 13. After his victory, he raised all 5 fingers on his right hand, and his index finger on his left hand.
When he met with the press, he said he wanted to share the glory of his victory with all the Hongkongers. When asked what the meaning behind his gesture was, he replied “those who know it would understand.”
While the indefinite social struggle and conflicts have caused massive disruption to local traffic networks and disturbed his mood before the match, he stated that his determination does not only apply in his badminton matches, but also in the Hongkongers’ current fight for freedom. He believes that if people are willing to persevere, Hongkongers would win.
