Mourning all over Hong Kong

Last Sunday, different political parties in Hong Kong raised a March to male condolences to our Hong Kong victims in Manila from Victoria Park to Chater Garden in Central. People, mostly in black or white clothes gathered at Victoria Park. Some children joined too because they understood what happened and would like to share the sorrow of the survivors who lost their loved ones in the incident. Some smaller children wondered if it was filming when they saw the horrible scene in TV. They asked their parents for the truth.

It was a march of silence. Everybody carried a heavy heart when he/she walked. Many cried because they could perceive the fear to be killed of the hostages , hated the ex-cop of the Philippine police who slaughtered our citizens and became angry at the slow and stupid rescue operation of the local police.

When the participants of the march reached Chater Garden, they tied the yellow ribbons provided onto the railings to express their sympathy towards the dead and the survivors. Some even brought along their flowers and placed them in the garden.

From recent news, the two wounded survivors at Prince of Wales Hospital are in good conditions after operations and speedy recovery is expected. Jason Leung, the young man who received a heavy injury at the head, had been taken back to Hong Kong by a medical plane and had part of his skull taken off to reduce the pressure to the brain in Tuen Mun Hospital. His fever disappears after medication and was put under an anaesthetic at the moment so that his brain can rest. We all hope that Jason can get out of the state of coma and recover as soon as possible.
