00:00:01,255 --> 00:00:02,420 My name is Angeline.

And in our free time, myself and a lot of colleagues,

00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,090 My name is Alfred.

Many of these injured protesters are actually

afraid of getting medical help from the established system,

I sometimes go to the front line and talk

to people that are preparing themselves to get arrested

00:00:54,465 --> 00:00:56,400 It's about 8:00 in the evening.

There were some clashes around Causeway Bay, Admiralty

And now, I'm outside North Port Police Station

because we know that a few people were arrested.

And we're here to check who is in here and who's not.

Myself, I think I am in a privileged position,

well off family or whatever but in the sense

that I have fewer concerns than some other people.

I don't have family in the mainland China

compared to what people on the street are giving up.

00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:57,419 As doctors in the public sector in Hong Kong,

we have already quite a heavy workload from our daily work.

Many a time, you have to stay up until 3:00 to 4:00

and arrange accordingly for these patients.

00:02:18,035 --> 00:02:21,109 There was this girl that we engaged online.

And she was telling us that she was very distressed

And her biggest issue is that her father in the police.

and got beaten by police and got tear gassed by police.

And then back home, his dad won't understand anything.

And his dad will just say, all the protesters are rioters.

And she lived in a hotel and she actually

lived in a hotel for two weeks before we can reach her.

00:03:14,345 --> 00:03:19,810 We've done marches for ages and ages.

We've done marches with a turnout of 1m people.

And that evening, Carrie Lam just went ahead and said,

the legislative council on the 11th of June

and on the 12th of June, the bill would have been passed.

I mean, that's something that we have to admit.

The Hong Kong government just didn't listen at all.

Even though we may disagree with their means,

we have to admit that we are now enjoying the results.

00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:03,830 Many of these professions have found their own role

I think this is very important because this is not

This is a very long war that we are going to fight.

It takes probably more than one generation,

and it takes more than just a few thousand

or a few hundreds of protesters fighting at the front line.

and the energy of the young people to win this war.
