E-NEWSPAPER #Hong kong

This 67th issue brings together stories of memory, conscience, and civic courage. From Hong Kong, we examine how even the simple identity of a “bookstore clerk” can become politically charged, revealing how freedom of expression, independent publishing, and personal dignity are being compressed. We also mark the ninth anniversary of Liu Xiaobo’s death. Though he was denied a grave and a public memorial in his homeland, his moral clarity continues to cross borders and generations. Our selected excerpt from The Solitude of Future Survivors further returns readers to the inner world of a writer who confronted fear, responsibility, and the cost of speaking truth. This issue also looks forward. The inaugural in-person gathering of the China Parliament’s founding voters in Los Angeles reflects an effort to turn democratic ideals into organized civic participation. Alongside reports on international recognition of Liu Xiaobo’s legacy, these pages show that remembrance is not passive. To remember is to resist erasure; to read is to preserve independent thought; and to assemble is to practice citizenship before freedom fully arrives. We dedicate this issue to those who defend dignity without hatred, preserve truth without fear, and continue building a democratic future for China.

To open this issue is to feel one’s heart sliced open; our pens are stained not with ink, but with blood and tears. Pages One and Two report the tragedy of the physical fire in the city—innocent lives lost, leaving behind visible scars. Yet, the deeper, more agonizing wound is found on Pages Three and Four: our ten-year deep analysis, where we tearfully document the “Political Conflagration” ignited by the totalitarian regime. For the past decade, the CCP has broken its promise, chaining Hong Kong with the National Security Law, burning down the rule of law, and devastating the spirit of freedom. This is not a detached commentary; it is an elegy, wept in blood, written for a city that has fallen. We condemn tyranny, and we refuse to forget. We must record this pain until the day of historical judgment arrives.

In 2019, Hong Kong’s Anti-Extradition Movement ignited a fight for freedom, leaving lasting scars six years later as the struggle persists. This special issue honors the courage of Hongkongers. Pages one and two chronicle the movement’s timeline, from million-strong marches to the repression under the National Security Law. Pages three and four feature Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow, who sacrificed their youth to gain global attention, yet face imprisonment or exile, stirring both admiration and sorrow. A Los Angeles Democratic Party rally raised the “Liberate Hong Kong” banner, supporting Wong and urging the world not to forget Hong Kong. We also publish urgent news, calling for attention to Chinese Democratic Party member Zhou Junyi, detained in Bangkok’s prison. Their fight reminds us that freedom demands courage. This issue seeks to awaken consciences, wishing glory returns to Hong Kong and the light of freedom shines forever.
