HONG KONG—Remember, remember the 5th of November. That was the famous chant of Guy Fawkes Day, celebrated in the UK, then immortalized in the graphic novel and “V for Vendetta,” where it took on the meaning of a hero standing up against an oppressive government. The white, wildly grinning mask has found its way into almost every major scene of popular resistance around the world.
