        Thank you Brandon for covering this heartwarming but also saddening story. Many of the #HongKong protesters, including me, are teenagers or young adults who still dare to dream. We have a lot things in our mind, some want to be a nurse, or a dessert master, or a good police, etc.

        There is a story, a brave soul, and a dreamer underneath each mask, and I really hope more people can understand why we fight, and how dire the situation is.

        They remind me of the Raptors running in Jurassic Park. Although I think the students are even more ferocious than a T-Rex when it comes to fighting for democracy. Add oil! HKers ga yau 💪

        Hong Kong young people are suffering the worst situation that #HongKongPolice are targeting on them, by beating, attacking, threatening, warning, giving pressure to schol and arresting. Girls are being even more risky. Thank you to let their voice out. #SOSHKpic.twitter.com/l3XM0A3p2s
