Fiction: Group 4
Mong Kok occupied area was cleared, but the resident still cannot have a good night sleep. Since
people went to Mong Kok for ‘shopping’ in response to the encouragement of the Chief Executive CY
Leung late at night. This cause noises and annoyance to the resident as they sang and shout slogan.
Also, leaders of occupy central turned themselves in to the police but they were released after they
completed the form. Some of the netizen thought that their surrender failed, but the police need time to
investigate the crime.
The day before the ultimate clearance of Admiralty I was able to go to the occupied zone. The
number of tents have decreased from my last visit as some occupiers had already packed their belongings and
left.
Protesters hung new banners with ‘We’ll be back!’ to remind the government and Hong Kong people
that the fight for democracy continues after the clearance of occupied areas.
People were throwing paper plane with thoughts written on the paper into the Central Government
Complex to express their need for universal suffrage.
Some of the protesters missed the atmosphere of the occupied areas. After spending several weeks
together struggling, fighting and united with a common goal, neighbours became more than friend, more
like families.
During the clearance the next day, some protesters accepted the fact that everything must come to an
end. They willingly packed up and left the area peacefully. Some radical once decided to stand their grounds
sitting or lying down on the ground until the police came and carried them away to arrest them.
The police clear the site peacefully, there were not conflict between the protesters and the police. And
the Umbrella revolution in Admiralty had finally finished.
After the police cleared the road, the blockade disappeared, traffic resumed. The scene of tents and art
work were replaced by bustling cars and buses. Everything went back to normal
Watching the clearance on TV that day, I was glad but at the same time sad. Hong Kong people did
not have to live with a heavy heart living in chaos and disorder. But, I felt sad because the movement had
ended without the fulfilment of the protester’s demand of true universal suffrage.
I hope that during this event, the demand of true universal suffrage was planted into the hearts of
everyone.
