Hong Kong protesters, particularly young boys and girls, are fighting at the frontline against the most evil and barbaric regime in human history – the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Hong Kong protests are not a local issue. Now that the National Security Law allows the CCP’s oppressive tentacles to reach every corner of the world, it concerns the safety of you, me and anyone who values freedom, democracy and rule of law.

Let us unite, stand and fight with Hong Kong. Only in this way can we hope for a free life and bright future for ourselves and our children.

Liberate Hong Kong. Revolution of our time.

Keep on fighting till the last breath.

Sometimes I am also frightened. Sometimes I am also disappointed and frustrated. Sometimes I am also lazy. Sometimes I am also tired. Sometimes I also want to withdraw and give up … There are hundreds and thousands of reasons to go away. But there is one reason to stay – I love Hong Kong.
