The Long and Arduous Aftermath after the Battle of Chinese University of Hong Kong; Arrested Student: Hongkongers, Please Go On Fighting

One year after the Anti-ELAB movement began, a quieter but more sustained form of suffering now grips Hong Kong's pro-democracy activists.

The Stand News follows the story of Ah Man, a student who was arrested at the Siege of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) by the police, as he awaits his trial that is yet to even be scheduled.

This is just one of many Hong Kong protesters' stories.

Ah Man hopes to tell Hongkongers, "Please go on the fight".

#PolyU University Managememt Suppresses Students' Union's Commemorative Events, Bans
Screenings and Newspaper Advertisement, Threatens Students with Penalties



On the eve of the one-year mark of the siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University Students (PolyU), the Students' Union (#PUSU) planned to hold the screenings of two documentaries, 'Save PolyU ' and 'Inside the Red Brick Wall' on November 17 and 18, 2020, in addition to publishing a statement on the front page of Apple Daily.

However, the university management stated in an email sent to the Students' Union on Nov 11, 2020 that the screenings and the newspaper advertisement were banned. If the students do not comply, the university authorities will impose a series of punishments including terminating their use and management rights of the students' union venues; the university will also stop collecting the students union's fee for them, among other disciplinary penalties.

The Students Union condemned the university's intervention, describing it as an act intending to 'wipe out the bloody scenes in our campus'. Regarding the use of venues and operation in the future, the Union will rearrange the screenings and post the statement via their social media instead.

First Hongkonger arrested for contravening #NationalSecurityLaw Exhorts Pro-democracy Protestors to Persist and Take Hong Kong in Their Hearts to Wherever They Go

Tong Ying-kit, arrested on July 1, 2020 for flying a “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times” flag on his motorbike, was the first one charged against the #NationalSecurityLaw.

Tong has since then been detained for more than four months.

After visiting Tong in Lai Chi Kok detention centre on November 24, 2020, legislator Shiu Ka-chun said Tong has adapted to the routine and the dietary of the center.

Shiu later wrote on Patreon that, Tong was a Ramen master who aspired to open his own Japanese restaurant. He was financing his sister’s study abroad.

Shiu also mentioned that Tong was a first-aider at anti-ELAB protests, who encountered police brutality and violent pro-Beijing supporters.

Lastly, Shiu quoted Tong’s message, reminding fellow pro-democracy supporters to “hold on and persist”.

Tong also said, “As long as Hong Kong is in your heart, wherever you go is Hong Kong.”

Hong Kong Restaurant Gives Free #Candles On the Eve of #June4 Commemoration Day

On June 3, 2021, the restaurant Villa Villa Cafe & Bar, located in North Point, Hong Kong, placed boxes of candle for customers and passersby to take.

The annual candlelight vigil in commemoration of the June 4th #TiananmenMassacre has been banned by the Hong Kong police for the second year. The organizer who had been holding the #vigil in #VictoriaPark since 1990 called on Hongkongers to commemorate the pro-democracy victims of the brutal crackdown by the CCP "in each of their own way".

In their facebook page on June 2, 2021, Villa Villa Cafe & Bar wrote that they "made a wrong order of birthday candles". The restaurant welcomed fellow citizens to take them for free. The remaining candles would be donated to a church nearby.

The person-in-charge of the restaurant Mr Tse told InMedia that "everything's in the heart".

Hongkongers Fill Churches for #TiananmenMassacre Memorial Mass

A number of Catholic churches across the city are open on the evening of June 4, 2021 to hold memorial masses for the June 4 Tiananmen Massacre that took place in Beijing 32 years ago.

The Holy Cross Church in Sai Wan Ho was full by 8pm. Long lines of citizens remained outside, however; they stood outside the church, maintaining a 1.5m social distancing. Many held up their cell phone lights.

Hong Kong Artists Use Creative Means to Remember June 4 Tiananmen Massacre

Part 1:

Although the Hong Kong Police banned the annual candlelight vigil on the 32nd anniversary of #TiananmenMassacre on June 4, 2021, the cordons cannot put out the flames of remembrance.

Many artists and performers in Hong Kong held memorials in their own ways, keeping the memories of the truth alive.

Political cartoonist #ZunZi continued his 32-year tradition of drawing a June 4-themed cartoon, despite the threat of #NationalSecurityLaw.

"Considering the situation this year, it doesn't matter if anyone else is speaking up about [June 4]," he says, referring to how much satire he intended to put into this year's comic. "I need to draw more!"
