Renowned scholar of Chinese thought Yu Ying-shih passed away at 91
Renowned scholar of Chinese thought, Yu Ying-shih passed away on 1 August 2021 at the age of 91. Since 1950s, Yu had published nearly 60 books and 400 thesis in both English and Chinese. He was also interviewed by Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwan media on heated political issues for many times, in which he was vocal about his stance on human rights and democratic development.
In remembrance of Yu, Dr Chow Po Chung, a Hong Kong Philosopher, shared on his facebook about Yu’s view on Hong Kong’s current predicament.
"Hong Kong is moving in the opposite direction to democratic freedoms. I read about the situation in Hong Kong on New York Times, television and social media. It is probably not easy to change in a short period of time.
But I have always believed that civilization cannot be controlled by a few self-serving people in the long run. Hong Kong has long been enjoying freedom ever since 1843, never being ruled by an authoritarian.
Given Hong Kong people’s high awareness, they will not be slaved or become obedient. But one’s determination to fight is the essence and one must not give up."

Citizens Lay Down White Flowers on 2-Year Anniversary of Student Protester's Death
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.

As Hong Kong clamps down, ‘burden of remembering’ #TiananmenMassacre shifts overseas
// In the decades since the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing on June 4, 1989, one of the most indelible images associated with the event, alongside “Tank Man” and the Goddess of Democracy statue, has been a sea of candles, lighting up the night.
Every year, tens of thousands gathered in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park to commemorate the dead and echo their calls for democracy in China.
No more. The 30th anniversary of the massacre in 2019 was the last time it was marked by a mass gathering in Hong Kong. Memorials since then have been banned on coronavirus grounds, as is the case this year, with public gatherings still limited to four people...
“With the last symbol of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech in Hong Kong being taken away it is crucial for Hong Kongers and all persons of conscience around the world to pick up the torch and make sure that the flame of freedom and democracy remain burning,” said Mabel Tung, chair of the Vancouver Society in Support of Democratic Movement (#VSSDM), a group founded by Chinese Canadians in support of the 1989 protests.
...Amnesty International said it is arranging events in more than 20 cities this year, and will call on participants not only to remember those killed in Beijing, but also “stand in solidarity with those in Hong Kong whose peaceful acts of commemoration are now criminalized.”
In Asia, one of the largest memorials will be in Taipei, where organizers plan to unveil a replica of the “Pillar of Shame,” a statue commemorating the Tiananmen victims that was forcibly removed from Hong Kong last year...//
