Posters are everywhere, but not as dense as the Lennon Walls. Some of them are quite timely reflecting very recent events. – at Sir Run Run Shaw Hall 邵逸夫堂
“Today, no mask. Tomorrow, no speech.”
Many students wear a black face wherever they go to make a strong statement against the anti-mask law recently enacted.
There’s also a strong distrust of the police that is reflected everywhere on the campus. – at United College Library 聯合書院圖書館
