Chinese Netizens Condemn the Mourning of Hong Kong's Legend Leslie Cheung
Leslie Cheung, an iconic Hong Kong superstar, passed away on April 1, 2003. On that day every year, his fans from around the world mourn outside the Mandarin Hotel, the site of his passing, while others share their fond memories of Leslie Cheung on social media.

Satisfaction with Hong Kong’s press freedom slumps to record low: Survey
On April 1, 2022, the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) published the results of a telephone survey involving 1,004 respondents’ “appraisal of news media.”
Findings revealed record low results since 1997 - only 28% of respondents are satisfied with #PressFreedom in Hong Kong.
The survey also reported a record-high proportion of respondents saying that local news outlets did not utilise their freedom of speech, the highest rate since September 1997.
The overall satisfaction with media outlets’ performance also dropped from 8% (2021) to 2% (2022), a record low since records began in September 1997.
Chris Yeung, former chairperson of the Hong Kong Journalist Association said that the closure of media outlets was “definitely” a factor contributing to people’s dissatisfaction with press freedom.
