How songs are empowering Hong Kong’s protesters in their fight to be heard

“Hundreds of students and staff of Po Leung Kuk Celine Ho Yam Tong College, a top secondary school in Wong Tai Sin in East Kowloon, were gathered solemnly in the hall as the Chinese national anthem began playing.

After the familiar trumpet introduction of March of the Volunteers, everyone should have started singing the first line: “Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves.”

Instead, the anthem was drowned out when most of the students began singing: “Do you hear the people sing/Singing the song of angry men/It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again.””

Shoppers stop shopping to sing “Glory to Hong Kong” –

10/01: Within an hour of the #LennonWall being built at Aberdeen Station, pro-CCP Mainland Chinese nationalists are destroying it and intimidating people. Ugly, disrespectful actions.
