On the 1st of July, 2003, more than 500,000 marchers were seen in the Hong Kong July 1st march.
Since then, July 1st marches were held every year as a channel for citizens to voice their opinions. I were not in Hong Kong since February this year. When I came back home in late June, my mother told me that my father and she wanted to join the July 1st march. On 2013 July 1st, typhoon signal no. 3 was hoisted since 1:15pm. Ten of thousands of people marched in the rain. Before that day, my parents have never join any march.. I walked behind my parents and recorded their very first march. In the rain, I saw seeds of hope. |
