the 10 p.m ritual

at first no many know what’s going on. we just heard a few people chanting slogan for about 10 mins from no where around 10 p.m. every night.

then 1 night we saw a girl shouting outside a shopping mall towards all residents nearby.

and read about someone actually suggested this action earlier..

tonight, after the 831 brutality by police, the voices r much louder; people turned on flash light / laser pointer also.

the amazing thing is, as always, hkers r very sensible and disciplined. after shouting loud / shining flash lights for 15-20 mins, all will calm down and stop, not creating any more noise. for hk is a very crowded place and kids / elderly might need to sleep early.

the kindness of hkers can also be shown on their great concern about animal welfare. e.g. there has been gatherings that question the use of police dogs at very noisy situations. and of course, frequent firing of tear gas near densely populated areas that harm not only humans but animals.

the 10 p.m. ritual is a good way to vent. esp. when many might feel so helpless / even breakdown seeing all those bloody scenes.

it is also a good way to connect with “our neighbours”. those we can see “far away” but actually not knowing each other.

every flash light counts. none will get unnoticed.

a simple gesture / smile / even a calm peaceful presence might be the best support / contribution we can make .

HKers add oil!

a new earth awaits!
