We should, through civic referendums, determine our own pathways and political status after 2047, because in this lies the future of our democratic movement. If Hong Kong could exercise democratic self-governance under the sovereignty of China, it would not be necessary for us to take this step on the path toward independence.
In December 2014, during the final days of the Umbrella Movement, prominent signs proclaiming We'll Be Back sprang up along Harcourt Road, one of the three major thruways occupied by peaceful pro-democracy protesters for nearly three months.
I do not lead the Hong Kong protests, because no one person leads the protests.
Beyond the barricades we long to see a Hong Kong free from tyranny and a puppet government.
Adversity will only sharpen our wits and make us more strong-willed, resulting in the political awakening of more Hong Kongers, not to mention the international community's support.
Self-determination means the political and economic status of Hong Kong should be freely determined by the Hong Kong people.
The education system of Hong Kong has often been slammed for marginalising a lot of people.
I hope to make clear that involvement in small scale community work can make a difference in our city's politics.
Some people say that given the government's firm stance against genuine universal suffrage, our demands are impossible to achieve. But I believe activism is about making the impossible possible.
Hong Kongers deserve universal suffrage.
I'm optimistic Hong Kong will achieve universal suffrage - no matter the attitude of Beijing.
People may recognize me as some sort of superhero, but it's different. Spider-Man and all these other superheroes, they get superpowers and do what they want to save the city. If we need to save Hong Kong, we can't rely on superpowers, we can just rely on the people.
We long to have a home where civil freedoms are respected, where our children will not be subject to mass surveillance, abuse of human rights, political censorship and mass incarceration.
We long to have a home where civil freedoms are respected, where our children will not be subject to mass surveillance, abuse of human rights, political censorship and mass incarceration. We stand with all the free peoples of the world and hope you stand with us in our quest for justice and freedom.
The Umbrella Movement was a legacy, not a victory, because there weren't any concrete policies or systematic reforms after it.
If a mass movement turns into worshipping a particular person, that's a great problem.
In 2011, when I established the activist group Scholarism, I could have not imagined that a year later, 100,000 people would take to the street and occupy for a week to urge the government to withdraw the national education curriculum.
