Born in the 90s, Nathan Law Kwun-chung never considered that he would be forced to leave his beloved Hong Kong; but that happened after he chose the path of fighting for freedom.

Growing up in a poor family that emigrated from the mainland, Law’s mom moved to Hong Kong from China before she and her husband divorced.
