Some sentimental words from Lee Cheuk Yan to the younger generation in #HongKong in our interview: "I think for the younger generation in Hong Kong, I would say that I’m really proud of them, because they all have showed the spirit in the fight during the protest movement.

I’m sad about the sacrifices that the younger generation has to pay for Hong Kong. I think what we also learned is that we all have to learn to pay the price. Thanks to the younger generation for showing us their courage and the defiant spirit."
"I think in the future, we should focus more on unity. Sometimes there may be differences in the strategies, but I think one thing very clear is that all the people in Hong Kong share the same fate and we share the same struggle."
"Hong Kong needs to maintain its democracy and freedom and it needs to be free from authoritarian rule. I think this is the common goal and I think we should stand together around it in the future."
Lee's message to the international community: "I want to tell the international community to fight for values and fight for what you believe in. Very often, people are compromised by the motivation of economic profit."
"It’s now more and more important in this world that people with shared values of freedom and democracy should stand together and not to compromise for the sake of economic return."
"I think for the people in Hong Kong, we will keep fighting, we will keep the spirit going and keep lighting the candles to show the way forward even in a very dark tunnel. We hope the world can see our light and stand with us."
