“Free Hong Kong” Human Chain
The Mid-Autumn Festival originally celebrates the joy of family reunions, but many Hong Kongers are currently imprisoned, deprived of their freedom, and unable to reunite with their families. Moreover, a significant number of Hong Kongers in Vancouver have had to separate from their families to escape the threats of the Chinese Communist Party, leaving behind their homes. However, those of us living abroad still hold a deep affection for Hong Kong, thinking of Hong Kongers inside the region and cherishing everyone who continues to work tirelessly in Hong Kong.
VAHK plans to display the banners we created together earlier and recreate the lights on Lion Rock Mountain, aiming to connect Hong Kongers scattered around the world with these lights as a symbol of unity. Even in distant corners of the world, there are still comrades who haven't given up on this light. At the same time, we hope that through this action, we can express to the world the unwavering determination of Hong Kongers to resist authoritarianism and believe that Hong Kong will one day embrace democracy and freedom!
This event requires a significant number of volunteers to help, so please actively participate.
