A couple more photos of yesterday’s HK elders protest which was large beyond all expectations; a truly inspiring & moving moment of cross-generational solidarity. They carried signs with messages such as “Support young people”.pic.twitter.com/B7B2BVUSNv

One more video of the HK “silver haired” protesters learning the young HK protesters’ sign language. Because it’s cute; but also because this moment showed just how strong the solidarity & support for the protest movement is. Seems Carrie Lam totally fails to appreciate this.pic.twitter.com/7lmPTMR9Ix

I love this. My late grandmother wasn't in favour of the 1997 handover and these supportive elders amaze me
