Joseph Gordon-Levitt Calls For Hong Kong Voices: "Freedom fighters/ With faces of pain/ And voices that will be heard"
On Oct 21, 2020, U.S. actor #JosephGordonLevitt is looking for people in Hong Kong to recite a poem titled "Hong Kong Never Sleeps".
The poem describes Hong Kong by the image of water including "fire on water" and "weeping tears of rain". The work also highlights the pro-democracy protests in the city by "bringing together people in the streets" and calling Hongkongers "freedom fighters".
The poem in full reads:
"Hong Kong, she never sleeps
A beauty in the orient
A smiling dragon that breathes
She is fire on water
A city of spirited souls and passing ships
Hong Kong, a world of its own
Where we write our own history
Upon pathways unknown,
But never alone
We forever stand as one
Hong Kong, weeping tears of rain
Bringing together people in the streets
Freedom fighters
With faces of pain
And voices that will be heard
Hong Kong, a home to us all
With layers of landscapes, harbors and hills
Between blue skies and blue seas
On clear days
You can see forever
Hong Kong, our sacred city
Walking and talking through avenues
So full of life
The place we settle in to sleep
And fill with dreams in the night"
Gordon-Levitt urged the interested person to send their recording to:
