[Nearly 600,000 HKers just cast votes and say no to tyranny]

1. Ever since #Hongkongprotests last year, I have never underestimated the grit, courage and perseverance of every single #Hongkonger when safeguarding the city’s autonomy and liberty amid #Beijing’s mounting threats.

2. When #China attempts to crush dissents with fear and force, nearly 600,000 #Hkers have used our actions today to ward off fear, cast ballots in this first and maybe last #hkprimaries and proved to the world that - Our spirit of resistance will not be killed.

3. Even after the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw comes into force, HKers have shown our determination for democracy, by protesting with blank white papers and casting ballots in #hkprimaries, in order to let our voices be heard by the world.

4. With our unbeatable determination for liberty, the draconian law marks the beginning of #HKers’ real struggle for freedoms without fear. No matter what will happen to me in the future, I will continue taking part in local protests and international advocacy.

5. These two days, Hongkongers have proved our daring with sweat and tear. In these troubled times, it is my honour to stand shoulder to shoulder with every one of you at this historical juncture, just because - We all really love Hong Kong.
