Admiralty Again

Again I find myself walking around Admiralty.

There are messages I’d like to read again and again.

_MG_1659 640

An expression of people’s will.

_MG_1667 640

A bicycle – I wasn’t sure if that’s an exhibit or simply a bicycle.

_MG_1679 640

That’s an exhibit for sure – I saw this same car on campus at CUHK the other day.

“Jan Po Suen” is the Cantonese pronunciation for true universal suffrage.

_MG_1702 640

George Orwell. Has it really come to this?

_MG_1704 640

Very creative.

_MG_1712 640

Translation: unity is strength.

_MG_1719 640

Pretty brollies…

_MG_1724 640

Colourful.

_MG_1725 640

The number of hours that must have been spent making these.

_MG_1732 640

But the medium is the message, I’d think.

_MG_1741 640

Meaning all of these are so fragile and vulnerable.

_MG_1751 640

Not unlike the will of a people.

_MG_1759 640

There’re obstacles.

That’s the People’s Liberation Army Forces Hong Kong Building – a very visible ominous reminder.

_MG_1771 640

Would a people’s determination be enough?

_MG_1775 640

History, we know, will sort out the villains and the heroes.

_MG_1778 640

They’ve even got a map, in case a visitor is lost.

Thanks for reading!

Mong Kok at Night

This is what night looks like in Mong Kok.

_MG_1788 640

Needless to say, there’re many people here who’re simply walking about, looking at the exhibits.

_MG_1782 640

They’re fascinating.

_MG_1789 640

I’ve come to think of this place as a temporary museum of sorts.

_MG_1792 640

There’s no shortage of onlookers.

_MG_1794 640

And it sets us thinking.

_MG_1795 640

About what it would take before people take to the streets.

_MG_1798 640

People are waiting.

_MG_1800 640

People are reading.

_MG_1803 640

People are living a life.

_MG_1805 640

Elegance is an attitude.

_MG_1821 640

Attitude.

_MG_1825 640

Attitude.

_MG_1835 640

Ever ready attitude.

_MG_1837 640

Rough translation: No one knows when we’ll arrive at the destination of democracy, or even if there will be such a day; but today, if we’re able to take a step, we’ll take that step.

_MG_1841 640

A beautiful umbrella – one of many.

_MG_1844 640

There’re always reminders of how this might end.

Thanks for reading!
