Cards for Humanity. December 2019.
"It is expected of us. We don't do this for pay. This is about humanity."
On December 16, 2019, office workers and local residents in Taikoo Shing took time during their lunch break to write messages of love, hope, and seasons greetings to those that are in detention due to arrests during the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
Go, 36, one of the main organizers, said he only started planning last night as it was an ad hoc idea that popped up on Telegram, a popular messaging app used by many protesters to share ideas and information. He got to work sourcing more than 500 postcards and greeting cards, either donated or paid out of his own pocket.
Setting up outside of One Island East, a diverse group of people participated and all of the cards were signed within an hour. "No matter where you are, you are always with us," wrote one lady, addressing her card to "Hong Kong children."
"These will be sent to the detention centres and shared with the youth that are there," said Go. "We are asking people not to include political messages so the cards won't be censored. This is about love, hope, and a Merry Christmas."
