Parkie Li and his wife, Angel, decided to make their honeymoon trip across Canada a meaningful display of solidarity with democracy in Hong Kong. By showcasing a replica of the Lady Liberty Statue of Hong Kong, the two Canadians wanted to send a message of hope to Hongkongers who were forced to flee their home for Canada.

The couple set out from Vancouver in late February, and travelled through Calgary, Regina, Montreal, Halifax, and Ottawa, with many stops along the way, finally arriving in Toronto three months later on May 13.
