Yes, I was here. I was here every year from 2003 to 2011 (I missed one year as I was away for holiday in Europe). On Canada Day every year, Hongkongers would go out and vote with their feet in order to voice their discontent towards the Hong Kong government. This year, 430,000 people protested in the rain.
The picture here was taken in 2003, and I was part of the crowd. It took me more than six hours to walk from Causeway Bay to Central, which would normally take less than two hours. It was a humid day, and it was about 33 degree. Horrible day for protest. However, comparing to the 199 deaths caused by SARS in the spring of 2003, the walk was nothing.
In short, I am a proud Hongkonger, at least once a year.
