          对，示威者可以假装自己很可怜。这样才得到同情。但政治体制不会被破坏。

          I'm ashamed at the news calling them "pro-democracy protesters" at this point. This is not what the protest started as in the beginning. This movement, like many others in past history, has been hijacked by a radical group to take advantage of and wreck a situation for majority
