Citizens Stand in Solidarity with Detained Pro-democracy Protesters
2103 Lai Chi Kok
Jimmy Sham reminded the people of the now-imprisoned activist Edward Leung, who coined the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times,” and played a clip in which he sang "Eighteen", a song by the iconic Hongkongese band Beyond.
Participants turned on the torches in their phones and sang along. They chanted after singing the song: “Peaceful and valiant protestors are one, ups and downs we bear together” and “Support Our Comrades Forever” .
Editor’s note:
"Eighteen" portrayed an aged idealist reminiscent of his past which he dared to challenge social dogmas and injustices.

Transcending Fear: Hong Kong Social Worker Vows for the Quest for Freedom, Out of His Love for Hong Kong
Reflecting on the year-long anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong in 2019, social worker Hendick Lui Chi-Hang said, “I have been increasingly involved and more and more forth coming in each protest. For many times, I told myself that this time is going to be the last time and I have to overcome my limit.”
Despite that, there has been “next time”. Lui said, “Probably, it is out of my love to this land.”
It could also be rage. Lui elaborated, “You might also see it as ‘I can’t stand it’. There are some small things that we could do, though these things might not be useful, we should continue doing it.”
What if one day he was arrested and being sent to China for trial?
It seems that Lui was sharing his thoughts to the reporter, but also talking in melancholy, “it doesn’t matter. I believe as long as there are Hongkongers, there will be a pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, fighting for freedom.”

Chaotic Mass Testing Stokes Fear of Rampant Virus Spread at Kwai Chung Estate
Thousands of residents at Kwai Chung Housing Estate were forced to undergo immediate and ongoing daily COVID-19 tests at makeshift testing stations, after authorities placed two buildings under a mandatory 5-day lockdown and at least 4 other buildings under overnight lockdown.
Over 10,000 residents live in the 4 buildings locked down for the overnight COVID-19 testing. However, only 4 makeshift testing booths were set up.
There was, however, no arrangement for residents to be tested in batches. This caused overcrowding at lift lobbies and elevators, as many headed out for their tests at the same time. A photo of elevator CCTV showed around a dozen people squeezing into elevators; the photo has since gone viral on social media.
Long, winding queues formed as residents filed patiently into the courtyard for their tests. Residents said that the queue snaked through some narrow passageways, and those returning home after tests had to go back the same way, squeezing past the long queue.
No social distancing measures were employed, residents said, and they feared that this virus testing would instead spread the virus even further.
