1/ In the final (11th) chapter of aftershock.hk, @sumlokkei discusses covering the Battle of CUHK - which I witnessed myself about one year ago.
The citywide solidarity was breathtaking, and is something which I struggle to put into words.

2/ "Following a call to protect the campus, hundreds of people showed up with resources for protesters. Water, petrol bombs, and other supplies were passed from one hand to another, downhill to the frontline."
3/ Some of us were keeping the police busy in other parts of Hong Kong, so they could not focus their resources on CUHK.
It was absolutely a citywide effort to support the students at CUHK, who became the inspiration for my friends at HKU and other schools.

4/ I'll never forget an architecture prof at HKU witnessing his students mix cement to build a barrier on Pokfulam Road
"I'm so proud of my kids," he said, "they're applying everything I taught them"
Likewise for a chemistry prof and petrol bombs.
