Revolution of Our Times

After reading it, I can only say: Hong Kong people, come on! We in Taiwan will work hard to protect our hard-won freedom and democracy. May the glory return to Hong Kong!

This documentary vividly depicts the evolution of Hong King's social movement from 2019 till today - from the eyes of a journalist, a paramedic, a student, a social worker and many more. Questions pop up as you watch along - what is justice? How come millions of people choose to fight back violence with violence?

Striking, memorable and painful for anyone who has taken part in the movement to watch, but inspiring, though provoking yet tear jerking for others. Highly recommended.

Where is the mention of democracy and human rights under colonial rule?

The British were corrupt and native Chinese Hong Kongers were marginalized and brutalized.

The British colluded with the underworld gangsters to rule it with impunity.

There were no voting, no personal freedoms and no freedom of speech. The British clammed down on freedom of speech and oppressed the Press and reporters!

Wake up and learn the truth about Western democracy and Hong Kong.

George Santayana is credited with the famous quote, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Those words could not ring truer with the Russia/Ukraine conflict this week. It also could become a sad reality with the almost daily threats from China invading Taiwan where I have been living for the past 14 years.

I lived and worked in Hong Kong for 25 years and watching this documentary just confirmed what I thought when I witnessed the 1997 handover "One Country Two Systems", BS for how long? At 152 minutes it is long but well worth every minute. It contains many scenes that were never shown on TV or mentioned in the press. The interviews with the protestors and their supporters that closed down Hong Kong many times are insightful as to why they will never give up. I went to the premiere showing in Taipei and there was not a dry eye in the audience. During the credits (all names are disguised) there was a standing ovation which is unique in Taiwan.

I do hope the youth of Taiwan takes lessons from viewing this film as their future as a free democracy will be up to them.

As a Chinese, although I was inside the wall before, I didn't really see the real face of the riots in Hong Kong! But it's not too late, I really hope that ccp will be brought to justice! But it depends on the time, but I really admire that Hong Kong people can march on the streets for a law, and they dare to fight with the police! Donate your body for the revolution! And inside the wall, we can only watch the Communist Party harvest the leeks, and some things can only be said without actual action! Then the truth is caught! And some people who really know the truth have to wash the ground for the stupid ccp! This movie really shows that the Hong Kong police have become a bit inhumane like the police inside the wall! As for ccp's recent actions, Xi Baozi's title of speeding and reversing master has been slowly verified!

Support the independence of Hong Kong, the former one country, two systems has become a cloud!
