Danzmocrazy – 5 Demands Not One Less

A group of Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) alumni have crafted a video that uses dance to tell the story of the protests so far…

The dancers come from different industries and are among the anonymous millions who have worked to ensure Hong Kong has continued to be one of the world’s greatest cities – despite the incompetent and corrupt leaders foisted upon the SAR by Beijing. 

As one dancer puts it “Not only we all have stayed in Hong Kong, we also have [a] strong will in making our city great again”.

‘In 2019, we are all awakened from our usual lives. Our city, our identity, our culture & values, our freedom are being nibbled by the regime. Time has chosen us and it is time for Hong Kong people to stand and safeguard our city. We wish to use our passion in dancing and in our city to reunite everyone and to invite the world to stand with Hong Kong, fight for Hong Kong against absolute power and authority.”

New Year’s Fireworks Cancelled

A reminder that due to the repeated use of excessive force by the HK Police and an overtime budget of almost $1billion the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks have been canceled.

Carrie Lam promised to listen to HongKongers when ‘elected’ but has ignored us since then. Millions can march peacefully and be ignored but the fireworks enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists each year, will be replaced by an enhanced version of Symphony of Lights and an online $4million ‘lucky draw’.

Enter here https://hknycd.com/en, apparently the draw is open to all HK residents, but tough luck if you’re overseas as the HKTourism website blocks your entry.

Happy New Year
Stand Strong
Stay Safe
Be water

Merry Christmas

Please spare a moment of your day to remember the thousands arrested and beaten by the HK police who are separated from their families.
