Carmen | Frontline social worker, a mother, trying her best to accompany young people

In reality, there are differences between the aims and objectives of a social worker. We want to reach out to youths who are not cared for by the system, but only a handful of them would actually come to us for help. When a social movement puts our youth to on the spotlight, I ask instead—just how much is the government willing to help them?

Jeremy | Hongkonger who studied and is working in the UK - "If you are forced into a corner and no one listens to you...what else can you do, except protest?"

The crux of the problem is that Hongkongers see no future. They are terrified of what will happen in 2047. We have been protesting since the handover in 1997. We have given the government many chances to implement changes. Yet, time and again, they have failed us. What more can we do? What more should we do?

Kelvin | Frontliner on why he is willing to sacrifice - “If I succumb to fear, Hong Kong will fall apart.”

We never push with the intent to harm or kill the police. We just want to push them back so that the PRNs won’t be afraid of taking to the streets. I hope those two million people can once again come forward, even if they only help with passing supplies at the back. I promise that us frontliners will always stand in front of PRNs, so that if anything goes wrong, we will be at the front shielding you and making sure all the PRNs have retreated safely before leaving.

Ted | Evolution of a protestor: resistance as an ‘occupation’ - "We must turn our grief into action."

Regardless of my position as a PRE, part of a road-blocking team, or as a driver shuttling protestors around, I truly believe that each role has its own impact… You can never foresee how your actions today will spur the actions of other people in the future… We must turn our grief into action, so that we can bring about changes for Hong Kong, for our next generations, and for the sake of democracy and freedom.
