HK Old Man Weeps Before Deceased Protesters' Altar: "We will avenge you, we must avenge you"

At 20:09 on Sept 8, 2020, Hongkongers observed a minute of silence for 22-year-old student Chow Tsz-lok who passed away 10 months ago on the same day after falling from height during police operation.

Citizens set up an altar to commemorate Chow outside the carpark where he fell. People lit candles and lay flowers despite police surveillance and interference.

Into the evening, an elderly man, with the support of a walking stick, slowly came before the altar. He put his palms together and bowed while shedding tears.

He said to the altar in a sorrowful voice, "we will avenge you, we must avenge you".

Today (November 8) marked the second year since the passing of pro-democracy Hong Kong student #ChowTszLok. Citizens around the city brought brocades of white flowers to the site of his fatal fall in remembrance.

During the anti-ELAB movement in 2019, Chow, a 22-year-old university student, fell from the 3rd floor of a car park in Tseung Kwan O as police clashed with civilians in nearby streets.

He died from his injuries in hospital 4 days later, on November 8, 2019.

A Coroner’s inquest was conducted in January 2021 to determine cause of Chow’s death. However, as the jury was unable to decide the causes and circumstances of his death, the coroner pronounced an open verdict.
