On Dec. 31, while hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong citizens participated in countdown activities across Hong Kong to cheer the arrival of 2023, a dozen or so Hong Kong people went to the top of the Lion Rock. They held up a luminaire combo showcasing the “Free HK Political Prisoners” slogan to the thousands of households below in the hope that freedom will return to Hong Kong with all political prisoners currently remanded in prison being released soon.
With the relaxation of local COVID-19 pandemic prevention measures and the lifting of social distance restrictions, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong citizens flocked to various locations in Hong Kong to participate in the countdown.
