1/ Even though the imprisonment meant a lot to me, I didn't shed tears or have any strong sense of fear when the judge announced my sentence. I viewed my imprisonment as the necessary step for the whole society to embrace the cruel fact that the city’s freedom is on shaky ground.
2/ The days in prison also made me realize that the most fearful thing is not being put into jail but that ordinary life may one day look like a prison if none of our generations dares to stand up for our civil liberties.
3/ This feeling grows stronger, especially after police brutality has become ubiquitous. Without effective checks & balances, police can arbitrarily abuse power & torture citizens without consequences. Working with police, mobs can just walk away after attacking pregnant ladies.
4/ Worse still, Gov can be unanswerable to the demands of one-fourth of its population & keep repeating lies. What's fearful is when abnormality becomes normal & people get used to this Chinese-style “new normal.” Hence, our fight must continue so justice doesn't lose its shine.
5/ Hope Is the Most Powerful Arrow: A Conversation with Joshua Wong on #UnfreeSpeech worldliteraturetoday.org/blog/interview…
