Many stories coming out from Hong Kong's peaceful demonstration. I'd like to share one. I met a family of nine, spanning three generations. The grandfather marched last Sunday. Today the whole family decided to come out together after witnessing events that unfolded this weekpic.twitter.com/JaMORZfcHR
They all wanted to speak when I approached them. But Torrey Ho, one of the three kids, was really bursting to talk. “We need to speak out for freedom,” he said. “He described the experience of marching today as “unforgettable,” mainly “because I can shout.”
His father, Chris Ho, said they were shocked to see tear gas being used Wednesday on protesters who surrounded a government building. "Teenagers came out and they fought for the future, but the reaction from the government and police was quite aggressive."
Like many in the crowd, they wanted to see Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s chief executive, step down. “I think that most people want her to not to withhold but to withdraw the bill. Most people want her to step down,” Mr. Ho said. Read for from today’s protest:https://nyti.ms/2XQsQpp
This is so very lovely.
What a lovely family 
For those who don't understand why HK people worry so much about this law, the former governor Chris Patten explained it. He understands HK people better than the current Chief Executive Carrie Lam doeshttps://www.hongkongfp.com/2019/06/06/video-last-colonial-governor-hong-kong-chris-patten-says-govt-defence-extradition-bill-absolute-nonsense/ …
Lam does understand perfectly but she’s just too politically greedy n ambitious to care abt Hong Kongers. She n her predecessors are all puppets of Beijing who wants govern Hong Kong the same way it governs the rest of China where freedom of speech and rule of law don’t exist.
Hope HKgers get successful, and wish the vietnamese folow up.
A moment in history that will always connect them and make them so glad that they were part of it.
