Dear World,
I am a normal citizen of Hong Kong, and have something want to tell you.
I do not know is this the last time that me, a Hongkonger can still share you my point of view about the Extradition Law to China. As you might not know, if the law is passed, Hong Kong will lose the shine; all Hongkoners will lose the rights we used to have, such as the freedom of speech, assemble, press, etc.
Here's the detail of what and why the protests are happening now in Hong Kong: A organisation held a protest on 9th June, over 1M people came onto the street, walked for hours, also wished the government would hear our will.
Unfortunately, they did not, they still continued the council, and this was the main reason why people went on strike, came out again on 12th June, in order to show the government our unwillingness about the law. This time, the police was not nice as before, they used the rubber bullets, tear gases to disperse the crowd. Due to the unlawful use of force by Hong Kong Police(Amnesty International, 21st June 2019), many of the protesters were getting hurt. However, they cannot go to the hospital and seek for help, because the hospital was telling the patients that they do not want to heal the people who attended the protests, and the hospital called the police as well, the patient was arrested in another hospital.
On 15th June, a man died, for the democracy that all Hongkongers should have. He jumped from a building in Admiralty. We have never thought about Hong Kong needs one's to sacrifice his life to wake the people who are still do not know what is happening in Hong Kong. We all shocked, and getting to feel anger, we do not want to let him die with no results.
Those reasons made Hongkongers unsatisfied with the government more and more. Therefore, we did the largest protest ever in Hong Kong, with over 2M plus 1 people attended. The government finally responded the citizens after the protests, they kept telling us they will suspend the law. However, there's no "suspend" in the Rules of Procedure, there are only "withdraw" or "postponement". Is the government truly responds the protesters, I do not see that.
