Hong Kong Badminton Signs "5+1" After Winning a Match
Lee Cheuk Yiu, an athlete representing Hong Kong in the Yonex-Sunrise Hong Kong Open Badminton Tournament, has defeated his opponent from Thailand in the badminton singles category on November 13. After his victory, he raised all 5 fingers on his right hand, and his index finger on his left hand.
When he met with the press, he said he wanted to share the glory of his victory with all the Hongkongers. When asked what the meaning behind his gesture was, he replied “those who know it would understand.”
While the indefinite social struggle and conflicts have caused massive disruption to local traffic networks and disturbed his mood before the match, he stated that his determination does not only apply in his badminton matches, but also in the Hongkongers’ current fight for freedom. He believes that if people are willing to persevere, Hongkongers would win.

German Exchange Students Expressed Support for Hong Kong Protests: We cannot prioritize economic gain over humanitarian concern
On November 14 in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong police arrested many, among which two are exchange students from Germany.
One of them told a German Press that he had always been attentive to the happenings in Hong Kong. Right before the arrest, he was heading to a restaurant with the other German student. They put on face masks soon after the police discharged a huge amount of tear gas. The next minute they were surrounded and then arrested by the police, who intimidated them by wielding batons and accused them of hurling molotov cocktails.
Although the two reinterated that they were not protestors but exchange students from Germany, the police ignored their statement and had them interrogated for hours during detention. Police even cheered and celebrated for having arrested foreign students. The student interviewed bought his airticket to return to Germany once he was bailed.
He believed that it was fortunate for him to be born an European. Meanwhile, it is essential for Europe to shoulder responsibility for Hong Kong's situation. "We cannot prioritize economic gain over humanitarian concern."
