Former Pro-Democracy Lawmaker Helps Jailed Activists to Send Flowers on Valentine's Day
In ancient Roman Empire, Father Valetine had helped couples to get married despite the opposition of the authorities. At that time, the Roman Emperor banned marriage, in order to send more people to war.
In 2021-Hong Kong, Bottle Shiu, social worker and former lawmaker, said Valentine's Day is always a commemoration of resistance and he felt even more so in this times.
Shiu said, "It is no longer just a story, but a reflection of our society. Considering hundreds of jailed pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, the regime first imprisons them physically and then tries to confine their thoughts. Love becomes their way of resistance."
On Valentine's Day 2021, Shiu helped jailed pro-democracy protesters to send flowers to their love ones.

Revolution of Our Times Shown in Cinemas in 5 Canadian Cities
Although #RevolutionOfOurTimes" is barred from screening in Hong Kong, a Canada-based organisation took it to Canada for screening.
The award-winning documentary by Hong Kong Film director #KiwiChow is now showing in 5 Canadian cities, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria, beginning February 11.
CanMen, the group who organized the screening, said they originally planned only 4 screening sessions, but were overwhelmed by the public response as tickets were sold out in hours. After negotiating with cinemas, they added an additional 10 some screening sessions.
At Cineplex Odeon International Village in Vancouver, a small Lennon Wall was set up outside the theater for audiences to write down their feelings and responses.
The documentary took audiences back to three years ago, when the Anti-ELAB movement broke out in Hong Kong. Emotional sobbing can be heard in the theater throughout the showing.
At the end of the movie, audiences responded with thunderous applause. They sang "#GloryToHongKong," a popular protest song, and chanted "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times."
The documentary will also be shown in Taipei, Taiwan from February 25 onward.
