What a hot but worth day??
Yesterday the temperature turned to 33 degree C. But it did not stop people going to Victoria Park to have the procession from the park to the government headquarters.
It was the 7th year since 2003 that people in Hong Kong went for the demonstration. We are not satisfied with the performance of the government. We want to have the universal suffrage of our own Chief Executive and Legislative Council members. We want to have a balanced living standard among all people. We want to have a basic salary for all people. We want to have a fair life here in Hong Kong, but...
Hope that we don't need to go for it in the future.
It was estimated that there were around 76,000 people on the procession.

When we went to Victoria Park last December, the temperature was around 14 degrees. Quite cold. And the crowd was not as much as the one in the picture you shared here. Thanks for your HK update.
@Norcani - You're welcome. Thank you for dropping by. Even though it was very hot and we were wet with sweat, we think it was worth to have the demonstration. At least, we want the government to know what we want.
I hope your peaceful demonstrations get you the change you want...
@beadbrat - All of us have the same hope. Thank you my friend.
One word: wow!
@QweenCat - Wish that there would not be peace all over the world.
