Hong Kong 5 years ago: June 9, 2019
There were so many people — 1.03 million — in the peaceful march that, in the evening — 5 hours after the march began, the starting point at Causeway Bay was still packed with people waiting for their turn to set off (video).
私たちがやっていることの多くは無意味で目的がないように思えるかもしれませんが、過去5年間で学んだ多くのことの中で、私は自分の不安や不確実性と共に生きることに慣れてきました。毎日が幸せである必要はなく、すべてが成功する必要もなく、すべてが即座に結果を出す必要もありません。今見えるものに縛られないことで、より自由な未来を想像する権利を得るのです。
今日は新宿に来てくれた皆さん、そして世界中の集会に参加してくれた友人たち、本当にありがとうございました。どこにいても、私たち香港人は恐怖と苦痛だけでなく、希望と回復力によってもつながっていることを、皆さんに保証します。

Much of what we do may seem fruitless and aimless, but over the past five years, I've learned to live more comfortably with my anxiety and uncertainty. Not every day has to be happy, and not everything needs to yield instant results. By freeing ourselves from the constraints of the present, we can imagine a more liberated future.
Thank you again to everyone who joined us in Shinjuku today, and to friends who participated in rallies around the world. I assure all Hongkongers that, no matter where we are, we remain connected not just by fear and pain, but also by hope and resilience.
