My Experiences with 729 Protest

Today as usual, I joined the 學民思潮呼籲所有市民在7月29日走上街頭參與「全民行動」 protesting fucking commie trying to pullute all HK kids. Of course, though being single, but fearing kids after this commie training will be as fearful like Nazi kids or Mao's kids and make all kinds of evil e.g. WWIII, Cultural revolution in Hong Kong and others, so I attended. I guess many like me do feel the same, there are tons of people, many with kids, even some seniors on wheelchair. Since this time is a protest for the kids, so kids goes first, thus for us, we are far behind the front banner, parents with kids, HK teacher representatives. From the organization point of view, I guess 學民思潮 are still less experience when comparing to political parties. Anyhow, because the weather is very very hot, so it start earlier around 3PM. But it move very slowly, when I get out of the Victoria Park, already 25 mins past. And in the building (I show many pics below), someone on that building throw a big water bomb (i.e. water in a bag) down and luckily it only hit a shelter, no people hurts. that is very bad, so we immediately call the police to investigate and after 10 mins, surprisingly slow, one police rush here to investigate, not sure whether they caught the criminals or not, who know, maybe send by fucking commie to warn against protesters or anyone against China communist terrorist... You can see many are creative in making signs, the weather is too hot, when I marched to Wan Chai about 4:30PM or so, I really feeling sick and wanted to quit, I went to Seven-Eleven get a cool lemon tea drinks, and as usual it is jam packed with all the protesters and many kids, many after drinking some water or icecream immediately went back to protest, I am very encouraged by them, even a kids can make it, so I keep on going. The organization did have several resting point for the kids and have free water and free iced-napkins for the kids. I didn't take the water,  I only grab the napkins, it is very hot.. And finally by 5PM, I arrived. And singing (yup, this time they have many kids song converted to protest song), and slogan. very civilized protest, and only few police, I guess even police know if they ever dare to use pepper spray on kids, it will be riot!!! I do mean it. police now is branded as china police already, so better behave, anyhow, both sides behave good, so good and peaceful protest. but whether it is effective to change the policy, I don't think so, HK government is determined to change HK to be part of China, it is already too late for high school, so better start from young.

My Experiences with 71 Protest 「七一」大遊行

7月1日「七一」大遊行 Today's photo. As usual, I joined today;s 七一遊行 集合地點:維多利亞公園. 以反黨官商勾結為主題. I know from previous June 4th and Lee Wong Yeung march that there will be huge turnout, so even the meeting time is 3PM, I arrived there about 1:30PM. There are already tons of people there including some party's selling booth e.g. T-Shirt for $70 or $100, Apple iphone cover for $200 Hong Kong dollars and something small like an Anti-CY Leung Drum for $20 (shit I missed that..) From previous experience , key is to go to restroom first and then shop. You can see the horrible long line in front of men's room, YA, men's room, not women's toilet. From that, I predict it will be more than 15K people (June 4th). After the march, I am right, they said it is about 400K people attended, which is about right, since by the time I (I am in the front) arrived in HK gov HQ around 5:40PM, the final batch of people had just left the starting point i.e. Victor Park... all roads are super crowded... jam packed and many people joined from streets as well. Ok, let's talk about it now... so around 1:30PM, I walked around, and done some shopping. I don't like to just donate money (many party , special interest group, NGO has their funding raising box and events there as always), so I decided to brought 2 T-shirts from 社會民主連線 i.e. 社民連 by Long hair, that T-shirt no so good design, but $100. OK, since I really wanted to support Long hair. Then I got another white T-shirt from the organizer  民間人權陣線  to support them , the T-shirt only $70. White one. Ah, forget to mention since the organizer ask us to wear black or white color, so I decided to wear the June-4th Black T-shirt this time. And I was surprised that actually there is a yellow color version for that design, but wore by organizers themselves. So, I walked around, taking some photos and try to go to the front. When the march started, I was about in Section B (2nd group), right behind tons of Hong Kong colonial flag. The weather is extremely hot, but rain or typoon, I am determined to go, and so is everyone else as I hear them talk about it how much they hate /distrust communist government and their intervention in human rights in Hong Kong . i.e. No more one country, 2 systems. After 15 yrs, HK now only have 1 system, i.e. communist... fuck them.. Too many people so they keep asking people to be patient. Luckily I am in the front. Then after about 15 mins walk, I catched up to the real front i.e. 民陣 's banner which always is the 1st in the whole march.  (you can see the pics there is a big black banner). The sequence is always Banner then a truck with loud speaking and the rest of the group. Guess they must see me familiar as I was holding the flag for  社民連 and 人民力量 in previous march. One asked me to help out to hold the banner . So I ended up holding the banner for almost 1.5 hrs until I later changed to hold the slogan/flag for them when we reach Admiralty area around 5PM or something. I am it maybe stupid to stand so in the front as all the camera, camcorder, media will be taking photos including me in the middle. But what the heck... you know I am standing next to one of the group organizer leader (the guy in black shirt). From his conversation over the phone, I know Martin Lee 李柱銘  also like to walk, but his age, so they suggest to send some one to walk with him for a short march and see him in some place. Anyhow... it is very hot, they did distribute some ice-rods, water. but since I don't wanted to go to restroom in the middle of it, so I decided to stay put and keep going. By the way, you will feel why they have a "Hello Kitty" near CY Leung, that is because CY had illegally do modification of his mansion, same as Tong Tong. But he denied that saying he is not the 1st owner, and when he move in he already saw some "Hello kitty" stuff on the wall, so he said he is not responsible for any illegal building modification. That is why he piss many Hello Kitty's fan and they show their anger this time as well in the march, in additional we think CY will make march/protest more difficult as it is in fucking mainland China. So, march/protest first before we have no chance at all... CCP China Communist Party is same as Nazi during WWII. No difference. that is why I support President Obama to focus on Asia, we don't wanted WWIII start by CCP. Though probably will..... since mainland chinese are now so arrogant and believe their race is the best , same as what Hilter talking about during WWII time. Anyhow, back to the march. There are many NGO including Phillippines or Indonesian housemaid group asking for $4000 per month salary, and shouting we are not slave. Also many people wearing different T-shirt, I like one talk about don't be bookworm. Indeed, many HKers are trained to be bookworm , thus begin lacking independent thinking. I think in that perspective, western education is more superior. since school-smart only good for 1st or 2nd job, after that it is street smart that counts. The good thing standing next to the march leader is I can hear how he communicate to other team leader over the phone and F2F talk. I also help to cover his year so he can hear clearly, since he didn't have a bluetooth earplug. He is a nice guy. Later as I said near Admiralty, I need to drink some water, so I switched with another guy, and holding the flag, it is the long and tall black flag, very very very heavy!!!!! luckily I put one end to my belt to balance some weight, so no too bad. So we arrived HK Government HQ around 5:40PM, and then helped put set up the stage and took some pics and the organizers said for those complete the march, free to leave, since they also wanted to have some space for the new comer to enjoy marching to the HQ's experience. thus I left about 6PM and see there are more people coming .... it is one thing looking as observers,there is completely different things when you are part of it, shouting, walking, enjoying the moments that you are part of a movement. Though in reality, I doubt things will change, but like my idol Martin Luther King said every movement start from individual and a vision. So, hope the human rights freefall in HK will be stopped and we will be one day live free and well.  Oh, by the way, the black flag I am holding is the one in blue letter saying protesting HK police overpower people. Forget one key thing, right after the march start, all of sudden, there are about 30-40 people rushing to stand in the front of the whole march , shouting support for CY. must be paid by CCP and CY. anyhow, they got boooo, and then left later.











































Like FDR said, We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.不跪地苟且偷生
