#LIVE: The #HongKongWay is one of the symbols of the 2019 #antiELAB movement. What is the best way to mark the last day of 2019? Another Hong Kong Way, protesters think. #HongKongProtests

“Six months ago, I was indifferent to political issues. But Hong Kong young people has moved me. We need to stand by them. We can’t lose them,” says Peggy Lai, 49, outside Tai Wai Station. #HongKongProtests

“I feel angry about the govt because although so many people have come out over the months, it still refuses to budge. I will do whatever I can to save Hong Kong from danger,” says primary school student Christy Wong, 10. #HongKongProtests

“Although I’m injured now, I hope my coming out will encourage others to come out,” says 15-year-old student Ethan Chan. “Even I don’t give up, how dare you?” #HongKongProtests

Jo, 40, has come to Hong Kong for holiday. But as she used to work here, she feels she needs to contribute to the Hong Kong’s well-being. “I feel motivated and inspired by the bravery of Hong Kong people who have given up everything just for freedom,” she says. #HongKongProtests

The mascot of @lihkg_forum, LIHKG Pig, has also joined the march. #HongKongProtests

The #HongKongWay has attracted participants, no matter young or old, to help mark the final day of the turbulent year of 2019. They also are chanting #antiELAB slogans and calling on each other to join the mass march to be held at Victoria Park tomorrow. #HongKongProtests
