HONG KONG—When protests aren’t unfolding on the streets of Hong Kong, the city marches on: people walking to their destinations, hawkers selling their wares, vehicles shuttling passengers to and fro.
But in nearly every neighborhood, there remains graffiti, posters, and stickers—left on sidewalks, walls, skybridges, lamp posts, and storefronts—declaring rebellion, a yearning for freedom, and anger at what protesters view as the brutality of police and the broken government that has endorsed their power.
