last week of aug 2019 was certainly too much for all hkers, even to those outside hk.
the intensity and speed with which things unfold / happen truly beyond imagination. can only record in pieces/ moments :
the govt suddenly talked about the emergency ordinance which gives ce superpower to do almost everything she wants;
pla army “rotate”. footage of armored vehicles going along major roads of hk;
many outspoken figures arrested in 1 /2 days before 831;
application of both gathering and protest on 831 turned down;
mtr, again, shut down stations / exit / train service to a particular station with short / no advance notice;
result : a horrible 831 night no hker will ever forget
that riot police get onto train to beat up “protesters” (in fact still no one can be sure if all they attack were protesters, other citizens were present then);
the press not allowed to film for some period of time;
first aid refused to enter station;
the train, with fully armed riot police + protesters kneeling and begging traveled 2 stations. when the train finally arrived, people arrested, and press were allowed to film, horrible battle field images revealed. there r even rumors that a few were beaten to death….
today, medical staff protest that police delayed / rejected medical service ;
legal staff write open letter accusing police of lying that all recent arrest were unrelated to 831;
students boycott lessons, holding gatherings at various places;
people of various occupations joined general strike;
there were period of very heavy rain, lightning and thunder during the day. truly blessed that it was a safe day.
students at cuhk know they r at risk, that the station might be closed any time, and police might come. yet they bravely stayed to fight for freedom, basic human rights…
all of us r really “forced to transform” under the challenges. to become more courageous, creative, embracing, loving, strong, persistent, resilient, to face our fear, live the now, accept whatever might come and handle with divine intelligence.
may we all be continually blessed with everything we need to go through this challenging period. knowing that nothing done out of good intention and love will ever get wasted.
as some already pointed out, it is such an honor to be present together at this tipping point / cross road , our souls probably chose it.
this is a fight not against a particular person / group of people / govt / country / party… but the dark force behind all these who has been damaging various part of the world for eons.
all of us r “forced to participate” regardless of our view / role. we all need to be particularly strong physically, emotionally, mentally…
have faith that this too shall pass and light will always win. for it is the evolution process that the One Consciousness will wake up from its nightmare, though it might take some time. or, who knows, may also happen at an instant.
Blessings be to all
