My designs are a small part of an important social movement/campaign in Hong Kong right now.

I'm a bit wary of designing graphics related to social issues. It goes against why we think the internet is so great, but I sometimes feel if they aren't actually printed our and spread around, all I get back is a bunch of likes and no real change. It feels a bit masturbatory and slacktivism-ish. So I'm very glad and grateful about how things turned out this time.

Background info:

July 1st is the handover anniversary when Hong Kong got returned to China as a former British colony. But it's also the time when hundreds of thousands of people take part in the annual rally, to make their voices heard.

I was never that into politics, but our city's future has never looked dimmer under the threat of the mainland government. March we must.

This year is more special, because there was a referendum before this, about our city's universal suffrage. It's not recognized by our government and has no real legal power, so some people are saying this is just a feel-good effort with no real impact. But Hong Konngers aren't known for their political activism, so seeing more than 700000 people giving a crap about this at all is pretty amazing. Even if we lose everything to the Chinese government, we're not going down without taking a stand.

Thoughts on Popvote HK

It seems that Hong Kong still has hope. Over the span of 10 days, Hongkongers came out to vote, despite the HK goverment and the CCP calling it an "illegal" referendum without any reference value. The result? 700 thousand people came out to voice their opinions. Albeit this only accounts for 1/10 of the total population, it is still a good sign. It definitely shows that we want the right for a true election, without the restraints of an election committee. Through this dark age, I see a ray of light. There is still hope. Even if the CCP refuses to grant true democracy, we will fight back. If our freedom of speech is suppressed, we will still fight back. Let's all fight for a better HK. We will show them that we have woken up. And we won't tolerate fake democracy. -Hongkonger
