The death of a city has always been due to the indifference of the public. The departure of an era has always been due to the abandonment of the public. And to reverse the fate of a place, it has never been possible to rely on the locals to resist their orders. Today, watching our city in Hong Kong being crushed by China’s tyranny, 720,000 passionate souls were slapped, prosperity and the future are falling apart under the greed of the Chinese government and the big chaebols. May I ask if this is Hong Kong’s tomorrow? A home for decades? The crisis of destiny is imminent. Will every Hong Kong person ask himself: Except for ourselves, who can veto the destiny and future of our generation? Why can the 170 hand-appointed NPC deputies in Beijing decide the fate of Hong Kong people on their behalf? Is Liang Zhenying, the arrogant chief executive who won only 689 votes? Why not our 7 million Hong Kong people vote on our future? If the political system of justice and democracy is denied, it would be like announcing that Hong Kong people must continue to live under the colonization and play of the Chinese government and large consortia for the next 30 years.
The students led the strike today and launched the first wave of uncooperative movement to wake up the society. The death knell of our city has been sounded! As a tertiary student, to continue to immerse himself in the classroom and enjoy the campus and ignore the social crisis is absolutely disregarding the hopes of the society and abandoning the social responsibilities of Hong Kong citizens. Therefore, students must also leave the classroom for a while and engage in social movements to reverse Hong Kong's bad luck. Strikes are the refusal to sit on the sidelines; strikes are the first step to put pressure on the counterattack; strikes are the starting point for reuniting the masses; strikes are the beginning of stimulating Hong Kong people to reflect on their own destiny; strikes are the young generation's struggle against the previous generation. We will never admit our fate, just because we vow to regain the future and our own destiny!
The National People's Congress does not represent me, vows to reject administrative violence
On August 31, those in power in the Chinese government pretended to be the Celestial dynasty, pretending to be a universal suffrage, and pretending to be hand-picked, pretending to force a totalitarian state election. More than 170 so-called deputies to the people's congresses from various places used administrative violence to deny the result of the referendum of nearly 800,000 people in Hong Kong! For the first time in 30 years, Hong Kong people's resolution to demand autonomy of destiny so clearly has been arbitrarily denied. The Chinese government hopes that the election of the chief executive in the future will continue to be checked by 1,200 members of the small circle committee, reject the opinions of most Hong Kong people, and continue its dictatorship. In other words, the promotion committee of local chaebols and red capital monopoly will be able to ask the Chief Executive to continue to deny all Hong Kong people's calls on various issues! Those who are not in line with the will of the Chinese and the chaebols can stay!
If this continues, Hong Kong will continue to be a ridiculous city with the largest gap between the rich and the poor in the world. Millions of children, young people, middle-aged people, women, and the elderly are living below the poverty line and humiliated every day, while the universal retirement protection and standard working hours remain It is nowhere in sight; the greedy MTR Corporation continues to increase year after year, sitting on its success; the Northeast New Territories has become a speculator's paradise for local and northern chaebols, while Hong Kong people can only spend half a century waiting for public housing; Hong Kong TV will be denied the license forever, until investors completely bowed and bowed their heads; the brainwashing national education science vows to reinforce the next generation; the media will continue to be despised, and the tragedy of Liu Jintu's bloodbath will be repeated every day; Article 23 has made a comeback. In the name of national security, castration of freedom is the reality; there are also uncontrolled free walks flooding the streets and lanes, constantly rising firewood, rice, oil and salt, stagnant salary allowances... Once the autocratic election is passed, the Hong Kong government Continue to obey the orders of the Chinese and the chaebols. How can Hong Kong people of our generation have our own destiny? Abandoning the abolition of the functional constituency of the Legislative Council while retaining the four major sectors of the Proposal Committee, the intention of China and the chaebols is really obvious. As early as February of this year, 5,000 students in the academic referendum had already voted on the nomination of citizens. The nominating committee can only be elected by equal votes. Today, the Chinese plan is so extreme that we are even more irrevocable and must protect Hong Kong. !
Return to the carrier is dead, regain the spirit to save the future

[Ming Pao News] In order to fight for true universal suffrage and to protest the "stopping" of the NPC Standing Committee on political reform, waves of civil disobedience began today on the Zhongda Million Avenue. The college strike, initiated by the Federation of Students and participated by 24 colleges and universities, started today for 5 consecutive days. On the eve of the strike, nearly 400 college teachers and representatives of graduated college student organizations issued joint statements yesterday. And "playing mudra" to show support for college students, some scholars pointed out that the meaning of college strikes is the same as that of the May Fourth Movement.
