Awaiting a Democratic Hong Kong
My friend and I went down the Victoria Park to pay tribute to Zhao Zi Yang, and I had planned to sign my name on the Makeshift Democracy Wall. When I got there, I found myself totally intimidated because everyone else had written letters, poems, and quotes not only in Chinese but really good caligraphy hand that showed even if it was written in blue marker. I took some photos and slunked away.
My friend suggested that I should go home, write something, and then post it up the next day, dai zhi bao style. I decided to go multi-media. Here is my poster tribute to Zhao Zi Yang.
All the Chinese writing are from the actual "wall" in Victoria park and a lot of the images you’ve seen on Glutter coz some of them I took, and some of them I borrowed. You can of course click to enlarge, but it still looks a bit busy coz the full size version is much bigger.

Yan, that’s beautiful.
