A cold grey morning, matured into a damp miserable night – the first really grotty night of the six week long protest. Yet, Umbrella Square was a hive of activity as protestors water-proofed their leaky ‘made-in-China” tents and raised them off the road. Modified supply centres, and continued to raise and expand awareness through discussion, art, music and friendship.
HK’s postcrossing community held their third hand-out of postcards. 40,000 cards in 30 designs, the message was simple the cards are free, post them to your friends around the world!
Advertising executives gave away stickers they’d designed and created. Others gave away umbrella charms and love HK necklaces. While Flo and her friends delivered hot spicy Chinese style ginger soup to help ward off the cold and damp.
The unique peaceful nature of the Umbrella Movement was emphasised by the newspaper images of violent protest on the streets of London and Belgium the previous night. The most ‘aggression’ shown by the protesters has been against invading rain water and the constant menace of rubbish.
