This is heartbreaking. I get the reasons for protesting but trying to blind a lone elder with laser pointers is such a low blow to someone who obviously cares about other people.
Youve already lost if this is how you treat an elder.
They had beaten many elders to unconscious before.

By voicing their opinion and speaking out?

Please explain to me any reason for these kind of "protests". -- Yesterday, here in the Netherlands people were arrested for a peaceful climate change protest... Please explain to me the double standard!!!
"Don't pretend you're innocent" Was such a powerful word.
Clearly they aren't innocents
Elder lady:
Angel Eyes 100
Destruction 100
no one is innocent
You can see that not all of the HKers support this movement, it's just because they are too afraid to express their opinions. I am a HKer, the people who do not support the protest end up exposing everything on the internet because the protesters dig out their "enemies" personal info to make them shut up. That's not democracy.
@@hinkyt25 China isn't a democracy you buffoon....
She just told them to not be disruptive ,that’s not bad. She is just a normal person trying to get on with her life
Advik Venkatesh this is why hk terroist made the protest fail. There was no way for the world to support the violence and keep the facade it was peaceful. These people ruined the hk protest. They made hk lose
The people of the world are at war with totalitarianism. There is no more “normal life”. If the previous generation had kept their head out of the sand we might all have a different future.
@@kaiyote4717 Are you kidding? HK is a free city, but you are saying 'totalitarianism'. Your father and mother built this city, but you ruin it.Yes, you will never have a "normal life". I show no pity on you. You are going to pay for it.
Mak Tak Cheung save your pity for the expanding population in the camps.
@@kaiyote4717 Those in the camps may have a new bright life after great education, joy on them, Mr. Fox.
she literally roasted a group of people protesting just to get their way and i do not see any problem with her.
potatoes rock the problem is that, previously peaceful protests really didn’t work. This protest is different in the way we need to be louder. We are destroying property of those against the protest and slowing down the city to make more noise. I understand this is frustrating, but we need the world to listen.
Hayden Chan yes but it starts to affect the entire country
Those who don’t wish to be affected are also affected
No one listens to a loud frog who croaks all day but would listen to a rooster who calls once a day
If you want a protest to be effective, don’t make it loud, make it fast, swift and spontaneous, before dispersing completely for months
A spontaneous protest will leave an impact, a louder one would not necessarily be so
@@haydenchan6389 Now the world hears you, did it make any difference, yes! The difference is you now have a broken country.
I understand this but i dont agree with the way, i hate and dont like distruction
Open your eyes
I laughed out loud when she said "What did you dig up the bricks for?! To build a Great Wall?!" I love and respect this granny!

If you speak Cantonese then you know what it means
In chinese or Cantonese it means 'I don't know'
granny knows their intentions.
as a chinese indonesian i literally wanted to cry for this granny, she doesn’t support china nor hongkong, she just want to live normal life like she used to have, but these protester change her pretending like shes china puppet, i just wanted to know where’s the morality of these people, as a chinese descendant, we’re really respectful to the elders, that laser, flag, and messing up with her work removing the cones really hurts me, shes moving those bricks and cones could’ve hurt her spine, that laser could damage her eyes like, dude, just let her do the thing, she just wanted to clean up the street not supporting the chinese gov, don’t be a d and make her look like a chinese puppet. i hope she’s still healthy in that age.
Jefferson Joey I’m a mainlander and TBH, I used to believe that the HK protests were OK, but now it has gotten too violent.

Of the fla
"It's gotten worse because you reporters never ask the right questions, you make them think what they are doing it's right." HK grandma 2019
This lady is so smart. but the reporter can not understand what does she mean...
the reporter just want likes on the videos she'll post.
AGREE
She doesn't think she makes a difference,but she is.
We need more people like her
She's showing that citizens shouldn't fight for rights... there's no sense in standing up for what you believe in; Bow to your rulers. These youths see it differently... The same struggle is being waged in nearly every country. Including the United States
@@SnoopCatts you fight for your rights, no problem. But use violence to force other people sacrifice for your fight? NO
@@ctourmaline EVERY WAR has been this way... EVERY war... many people have to sacrifice for better future for all. Had to HK government listen to the millions of protesters early on to retract the extradition Bill... None of this would have gotten so out of hand! But here it is 6 months later and they STILL haven't respected the 5 DEMANDS! The government is not listening to THE PEOPLE... This never ends well
@@SnoopCatts 1. So you agree this is a WAR? then DON'T pretend this is a protest! Don't cry that if police beats these so-called protesters -- instead, please thank HK Police for not shooting most of them as most regimes will do so during a war.
2. "many people have to sacrifice for better future for all", what if many people do NOT see any "better future" that can come out from these kind of violence, vandalism, arson, and lynching? Beat them to agree with you? that is what "better future" means? that is pure fascism, and yet they claim that they are fighting for "democracy".
3. HK government did listen to the millions of protesters in June, the extradition bill has been stopped in June and officially claimed dead in July. Don't hijack those protesters in June, many of them do NOT agree what happened afterwards, especially after this has become escalating violent riots based on lies spread on social medias.
4. 5 demands? The extradition bill is already dead long time ago. The rest demands are either ridiculous or something that is out of control of HK government. Respect the demands does not mean the government has to accept all of them, not to say that many people are also against this so-called 5 demands.
5. Want government to accept everything that you want , otherwise use violence to hijack the whole city and all civilians to force the government to agree? That is just what a spoiled kid or a terrorist will do.
Its funny that u guys keep on recording her instead of helping her a hand. What she said are the truth. In the end those who suffer the most are those who are not involved. And that reporter or journalist or a recorder, u ask the wrong person because u always ask the obvious.
idk but I think the one who suffers the most is the future generation no?
@@frost365 yes future generation which means more people who are and are not involved will suffer again. Because I believe China will never give up to get Hong Kong and resistance will always continue. And of course I already know what u said even before u comment that. My point is even if their protest is for the just cause of the future generation they should behave in a proper way by not blocking the road, destroying places and things, littering the surroundings and etc. and who will clean this mess? Its the people who are affected in that area not the protesters.
They're journalists, they're supposed to be neutral
If they did you probably wouldn't have this footage right here, her voice wouldn't be heard, they are there to record what's happening. It's their job.
yes we are all living a very normal life from this virus with the panic and fear and cant even breath normally suffocated by mask everyday and seeing no ends to it. Now most business can shut down for sure
You will never convince me that you are fighting for anyone's freedom when you in doing so you take away someone else's. This is not the definition of democracy, its actually anarchy.
Thank you, they actually once set aflame on a man all because he disagreed with them. And they call it democracy
Democracy is over. We are at war with totalitarianism. Perhaps our future would have been different if the previous feb pulled their heads out of the sand
@@nytrex_yt7417 well the police have also murdered thousands of protesters and framed them as suicides, so do they not matter to you?
Well now free speech and protesting is illegal in Hong Kong, guess there's less anarchy so you must be happy
When has China been a democracy
7:20 Trying to set up an old lady... Shameless
Out foxed out witted out thought out played by a seventy years old granny!!
The words of wisdom that the rioters should need
As for the fake media reporter she tried to lay a trap for the granny but she turned the tables on her
As to the flag she was streets ahead of him slagging him off for his attempt to set her up
Lesson
There is nothing that can beat age experience of the older generation!!
Go back to your classes to acquire this level of education in humanity
Shameless by plant a HK flag and make her looks like HK rioters supporter
What is even shameless is to recognize a nation to as enemies or even non human.
@@forgaoqiang 那是中国国旗
@@rjgong88 尴尬 不管怎么说 的确都能陷害用 之前的一个反对这些暴徒的老太就让这些媒体拍成支持他们反对警察了 。。。
First, they tried to intimidate her with laser gun. Then, they tried to coach her to say something extreme. Lastly, they tried to frame her by offering her a China flag. All Failed! Best & smartest grandma I've seen in my life! My hero! My idol!
And she is not throwing the flag. U need to respect other country identity. That's what we called as ethic
It would be nice of the old lady was john wick. She could have used the stick on the flag as a pencil.
She was very focus and not get distracted by the fake reporters and cockroaches.
While I admit it is unnecessary to point laser light at the old lady's face, she has the responsibility to learn the reasons behind the protestors' actions. If she disagrees with the values that they are protesting for, she has all the freedom to express her views and clear the road as she likes. I'm quite delighted to see her ranting on the street and doing what she likes without being silenced by the government or beaten by the police!
@@mwmwmw777 i think you meant she had the freedom to rant without being beaten or silenced by these rioters/anatchists for not agreeing with them!
They lost their cause the moment that laser hits grandma's eyes.
They lost their cause long time ago when set fire on a elder.
To be frank and blunt, most of them never really had a cause to start with.
Im NOT saying that there is no cause for revolt. Oh man, there definitely is.
However, most HK protesters are indeed entitled 20-somethings that only want some thrill. They dont have any clear objective, dont know what they are doing, or against who they are fighting.
Just degenerates... rioters, murderers, NOT protestors. Never had a cause. But people will support them and call the police evil xD
You all are disgusting honestly
Why do you focus on the elder that the protesters set on fire, and the one old lady who is supportive of the ccp
Sure, it was wrong to set fire he elder, i admit, we could've done better but why is confronting an old lady for being in the middle of a dangerous protest and telling her to return to safety wrong
There are also, the young, the old, and the disabled protesting, but not being on the frontline, which is for younger and more athletic people like these
The police has murdered so many people and framed them as suicides, and yet you dont even acknowledge it, and instead choose to brainwash yourself with videos like this,in hopes to convince yourself that the protesters are wrong
There have literally been pictures of a dead person missing half their head, and a severed leg, from the murders the police did, but oh no, you decide to go and be angry at the protesters just for being mad that there's an old lady in a dangerous situation caused by the police
Don't you even know that this news company is biased? Smh
@@eliselee2750 we are all "disgusting" for not thinking like you? well, that says a lot about you.
the old lady never said a word in support of ccp. it is your poor mentality that sees everyone that does not support what you do as enemies.
a protest is not supposed to be dangerous in the first place. it is not supposed to have a frontline either. we dont see any elders and disabled in your ranks in the video, only a bunch of entitled 20-somethings.
go find a job. do something constructive to society. perhaps if you do that the police will not attack you. however, expect them to attack back when you attack them.
grow up, elise. there is no unbiased media. also, own your actions. it was not the journalists flashing lasers into that elder woman's eyes.
As a laser science specialist, just lasers to pointed at eyes of people to try blinding people. This is the most unethical and devil means of souls's actions.
wow never knew those existed
They are not going to blind here like that ahaha, nice try.
Matt Shiu yeah and how long was that laser on that woman’s eye?
@@user-fm6yf5hh7q It's not about the damage but the intent!
@@Cecilia-ky3uw just google about the powerful lasers used in HK and the the arrest of people for less powerful lasers in west. Just search about that
Laser damages eyes seriously, especially for the elders whose eyes are normally already extremely fragile. so disgusting to watch this. Wonder how they were brought up and educated.
Fangbo Zheng gunshots and tear gas could be worse, so could harvesting your organs. Wonder what they’re fighting for.
stulego1 what are you trying to express? Nothing can justify such of their behaviors regardless of their intention. Besides, if you do know about the world, using tear gas is common on *rioters* in any countries. Stop pretending those people are innocent, there’s a seed to any fruit as there’s a cause to any consequence.

@@megx0522 It's also a fact, and it seems like you're the only one here fixated on what people think.
The most disgusting part about this is that no one said a word to stand with her or felt empathy/pity, anything. They just mocked her. Such a disgrace as the future and tainting image of young people further
If you were a male or a younger woman trying to defend her, you would end up bleeding on the floor. Only westerners and old grannies didn't get beaten for opposing the hk freedom fighters in 2019.
She just wants to leave in peace. 70 years, she has been through a lot and to see her birth and living place turn into such unsafe zone where everyone suffers, it's unbearable.
If she wanna live in peace she have to complain to the government which don't listen own citizen.
@Alfons Čepička , lol! There’s always a reason or excuses huh...you guys really want to sacrifice your life for the sake of what you’re demanding for?
She should live in the countryside.
She is a baby boomer who never experienced war, enjoyed the most economic growth, and refused to use a smart phone.
Sure, trying to blind her was wrong, but are you kidding me? Do you know how many horrible things have happened to those rioters? They where armor because they’re afraid that they’ll be shot and masked and eye googles to prevent pepper spray
I thought the man was giving her a flag of "protest" but it was a Chinese flag! Forcing her to take it and take picture to blind people with her side is just evil and wrong. We can't see the truth, but your action is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, you guys does not deserve any support on that

@nightwishnemo So the west paid 2 million people to protest back in June 2019?
Because China is griping it's red hand on Hong Kong. They are fighting for freedom but that comes at a cost. The protests there are still better than the ones in America.
You dont understand because you do what CCP asks you to do. This is their fight for freedom.
@@rzkzkr20 They seemed to be doing a better job of abusing and attempting to entrap an elderly person than "fighting for freedom."
They literally said explaining to her is useless
This elderly woman is being most considerate about other people lives while some decides to disrespect her by shining lasers at her??? This is really disgusting, a smart person would understand where she is coming from. I too would get frustrated if my city or community was littered and constantly in a state of panic.
As much as I understand the Hong Kong situation, hearing from a local's perspective makes me feel just as bad for them.
Cici disgusting young hongkong generation
I’ve lost my respect to them
Guy Fawkes what are you trying to say? Hong Kong will eventually be integrated into China, its part of the agreement. Everyone knows this and nothing can change this fact
Jeff Hardy So if she won’t be alive in 2047 then how can she understand what the youth is fighting for?
Yes turmoil is frustrating, but the protesters understands that very well too. They arent out on the street coz they have nothing else to do. They care about freedom that you take granted for.
@Gru slofar That woman is 70. She's going to die soon so she doesn't have to worry about her future. But her grandkids and children will endure what is to come from China. I was lucky enough to have escaped from China with my parents once upon a time or else I would've been killed by my grandparents who wanted a boy under the one child policy act. There's a reason why many are protesting against it in the first place. China is like the milder form of North Korea.
It is a shame nobody helps an old lady. From this we know the kind of people the protesters and reporters are.

Protesters need to analyze where to actually hurt their opposition where it matters. Not the people they're fighting for.
they are fighting for their white daddies in EU and USA.
they are fighting for the money they can get after protesting.
Protesters need to analyze what actually can improve their hometown. Put out plans instead of focusing on hurting and destroy.
The best part of this is the granny scolding all the journalists.
She speaks the truth. Those Online reports are nothing but fake news. They have no new channel. They just have bias agendas. Worst than USA fake news. They are not worthy of the title reporter.
The same feeling
News channels are all fake news, even big one like CNN, BBC are all fake news, independent journalist like Toby Guu, who show you what HK is really like get threatened/death threats by Hong Kongers because they don't want the truth to be know hence want more western media who specialise in fake news to report.
Ahh yes, so China's STATE Media is not fake news? I see most Chinese mainland said every news media all fake news, then have no problems accept news from China.
Fake journalists u mean
This old lady is so smart. She said a few things that are so true....
@Tom Zhao imagine calling people who want rights a disgrace. kek
@Tom Zhao yea let's do things peacefully, let's see if the goverment will care. KEKW

._. Chinese person here. So...um yeah.
Exactly. They only want "freedom" from criminal accountability. I do not want their style of "freedom."
@@canto_v12 they want the freedom of criminal accountability because in Hong kong, you have to send in an application form for demonstration. The government has approved the demonstration, which made it legal for he protestors to literally be on the streets protesting
However, the police still arrested people at the protests for no reason
This is why we're angry
This is why we protest
And there's more but honestly I don't think you simpletons will get it
The old lady was not "one of their people"
In Hong kong I love the police is slang for I dont support protestors I support the ccp
Which are the protestors enemy
I'm pretty sure you all are some people who don't know about the situation at all, just went on some biased news station like this one , watched a few videos and went like ok me no like protestors grr
You guys only focus on the 2 people SOME protestors have hurt,yet you decide to forget all the murders of the protestors done by the police
Framed as suicides
The broken bones and lost lives to the hands of the police
This is why we're angry whenever someone says I like the police
Theyre supporting literal murderers
Research before you speak
@@eliselee2750 The police arrested people because they got a permit to protest, not a permit to block major roads and assault people.

I agree with this lady, 100%. She deserves praise and reward.
How dare you young punks. YOU NEED TO RESPECT. SHAME ON YOU.
She’s from an old generation where you had to biw down to authorities. Young generation is past that, she should be fighting for her granchildren instead of trying to prove a point no one cares.
If only I can bring my pellet gun and defend that woman from these terrorist
Everyone has freedom, everyone’s right and freedom should be protected and respected.No one can ruin other people’s right and freedom in the name of “freedom”. These people are not fighting for democracy, they are fighting for anarchy.
Nobel prize for her.
She is the epitome of the older HK generation - hardworking, persevering, courageous and sensible.
The older generation had the privilege of knowing their hard work will get them somewhere. They reaped the full benefits of it. These kids would be really lucky if their work reaped half of that. Hard work is only a virtue if it gets you somewhere. It is stupidity when you're banging on walls that are caving in but it is not smart either to try to climb them.

The moment those people started pointing the laser to this lady, I lost my patience and temper. That's so disrespectful.
Do you really understand what this is about? This is so much bigger than just a blocked road. This is the youth of Hong Kong fighting for their freedom, which is at threat, and this lady cares more about something al simple at a road block. Sure, it's annoying if you're trying to get to the grocery store, but you can't get mad at the young people trying to fight for their freedom.
@@benjaminjensen3196 so it's okay for these spoiled young people to wreck the city and ruin the lives of the poor and suffering? Some democracy
@@benjaminjensen3196 don't get me wrong, I do despise injustice. I truly want to see HK people the freedom they are trying to redefine. Here in Indonesia we, mostly the youngsters, are fighting for our voices too. You might've seen it all over the news. Yet here in this case, precisely in this video, I just feel there is something off regarding the way those protesters treat an old lady. I don't know who's who there, who has better justification at the moment. Yet elderly shall have our utmost respect at the very least.
@@benjaminjensen3196 and you know nothing about HK real situation.
What they fight for now is way more evolved from simply freedom into revolution, into pure destruction. You probably don't know they also get paid by destroying? They only want to be independent out of China, which is never going to happen. They are a city not country it's just that simple. Without a country you won't have a city. They belong to China and will stay like that no matter what will happen.
@@mgw622 It's about the future. Why can you only focus on the now? China is trying to suppress this democratic state, and you're saying they can't try to fight the suppression because it wrecks the city?
I'll take a wrecked city with freedom over a nice city suppressed by China any day.
I love the ending. When someone mocking her, she's just simply said " take off your mask ". And you think they'll gonna take that off ? I understand their motive to protest, but mocking elderly is something low..
Ellie_EATS_ Candy you can’t be any more ignorant....if you understood what she said...if you could read at all....she said she actually understand. what the protest is about but don’t agree with the useless or wasteful methods. Nmd .... you prob don’t understand anything I have said
Ellie_EATS_ Candy i bet you don’t know how this riot started. It is just ridiculous! They use human rights to cover their misconduct
@@Ar1saMifune the rights were given by the chinese government, before britain gave back hongkong they had no voting rights or any other right, only right to private of property.
@@Ar1saMifune funny comments
Ellie_EATS_ Candy low excuse to say they are fighting for rights, that’s what every no brain (extreme protestor) says... you could protest peacefully like almost every other country. But instead they do it this way, destroying streets, blocking ways, setting buildings on fire. They can be happy they are not all locked up for vandalism, I mean in my country that’s vandalism and all protest go peacefully here. (Netherlands btw). I don’t agree with these ways of protesting at all, at first I supported Hong Kong for getting their free rights but after seeing a lot of videos of how most people protest I stopped supporting them
I love how she said "why you even ask, you not gonna publish it"
So true.

If I was the parents of such rioters and at birth knew that they were to turn out to be of such a low calibre of humans

She's only frustrated because she's about to die and doesn't need to worry about the future.
Selfish garbage, it is all the older people that want their life of security and stagnancy, and they're the same reason why the youth has no future and is out there marching for themselves, at least some older people support them and provide resources.
Garbage complacent selfish robots projecting their own selfishness as if the kids want to be out in the streets and not also have it comfortable in the moment, they put that to the side because they know otherwise their future will be worse.

@@senseizeref9275 Does that justify their cause? That's like saying it's OK to bomb a church because a Christian treated you bad? There are people in Hong Kong that are protesting for genuine freedom and they're not doing it like this.

Western influence
For what? Whining about dissenters? Any whiny old women can do that; it's actually a reason it's so hard to make progress because women whine about anything and blame sexism for their problems instead of respecting that the price of liberty is not always pretty.
Fighting with an old woman. Pointing laser at her is going to destroy her eye sight. No one is even helping her. The reporter doesn't even help her. Shame!
She's right using the bricks to throw at others is absolutely not right. If they want to protest do it the right way. Absolutely a disgrace!
Vic lee according to the protesters, they learned from the 2014 protest that they didn’t get everything they wanted doing it peacefully so they have to persuade them so this granny is partly wrong

The world needs more grannies like this one
She is really brave, considering the fact that protesters have been beating up people just because they have different opinions, e.g. the elderly man in a shopping mall, and a Chase bank manager in front of his office. Even in this video, I saw protesters aimed laser at her eyes, and tried to set her up. These protesters are doing disservice to their cause. Yet every day, more protesters turn to be more violent... I’d say this grandma is the conscience of HK, not the self-righteous rioters.
Well, women will not be beaten, they are very safe unlike the men you have mentioned. Imagine what could have happened to her if she is a grandpa instead...
@@WilliamHouStudio The reality is that many females got beaten by those "freedom fighter"
Lol there are more incidents of random mobs beating up protesters than vice versa.
David Cai those are not protesters.. they are rodents terrorist !
I feel like you only watch a few videos, haven't you seen videos of the police beating up, bystanders and arresting anyone in their way? have you seen videos of triads holding very big knives attacking protesters and bystanders with it? It's so sad that people don't see the full picture.
Granny: "In this generation of reporters, did any of you actually study journalism?"
A slap in the face for the "reporters" for asking too many irrelevant questions (e.g if she has kids, and at 3:38). Obviously this granny is too smart for them to get doxxed or trap into tricky questions.

Yeah, I have no respect for HK protestors and youngsters anymore. Setting her up, watching as she moves those heavy objects alone, then moving those items back into place... These actions are only inconveniencing the ordinary people of HK, do these rioters even care about the wellbeing of their fellow countrymen? The old lady has a point about the bus driver. There has got to be other ways to show unhappiness, so why are they targeting the working class??
They don't have any respect for anyone. The movement has been hijacked by its worst members because everyone else has moved on with life. The moment you disagree with them they will call you a Blue. You had better hope they don't have you outnumbered because they will want to assault you.
The HK protest is just an act staged by the USA and western powers to manipulate the minds of people
This old lady is so brave! Wow props to her. "I've live in HK for 70 years, and never seen HK so great". She even has jokes! lol
@Nguyen Hoang Duc Not anybody, she's a 70 year old woman standing in front of a bunch of young violent rioters. Not scared but cracked jokes. Most people walk by and wouldn't touch those cones out of fear of being beat up.
I've lived in HK for ten years and it was the worlds most prosperous city
Shame on the protestors
This is a true woman. She steps in while the whole world steps out plus she's retired.
Worked her whole life and still not tired, the protesters human value pales in comparison
She's the enemy along with the CCP
To look back.
I believe she was not the only one in HK who wanted to get back into their normal life
They destroyed their own city
I love this woman. Full of class, strong values, ethical and peaceful. She has built and lived during the golden era of Hong Kong along with her peers. Look at the newer generation today destroying this great city, they are selfish, dumb, easily influenced and don't know what is wrong what is right. They're not protesters but rioters. This woman loves her city and she is sad to see why people are destroying her city. She is strong and has set a strong example of what thousands of the rioters lacked. You reminded me of my mum and please take care. You are a true Hong Kong. Live long, stay healthy, prosper and lots of love from Malaysia!
those spoil brats, just out of respect they should let her do what she wanted without bothering her, they talk about freedom of speech, yet they silence whoever dares to speak against them, they talk about democracy but want to impose their view in other. they talk about rule law yet they don't even do themselves.
this just shows how wrong these RIOTERS are.
They did.

They go around filming the rioters as if they are making a movie.,glamorizing violence as if they are stars. It’s like they think they have a right to document a person’s humiliation just to make sensational viewing.
It's not glamorizing this moment. It's to go down into history so that in the future generations can do better than today and learn from the hong kong protest
Larry Thao true.
Larry Thao uh, a barking dog.
It is true u only dig up bricks if u plan on killing some one, so those protestors aren't really peaceful
They've not only been glorifying violence; they've been obstructing the police & have been caught throwing things at the police. It's not that hard to get a fake press card in Hong Kong. Plus, they'd only let journalists siding them to be filming them closeup as they know the video would be portrayed to glorify their actions. They've been threats made against anyone speaking Chinese & some were even beaten up.
That was so heartfelt to watch. I really felt bad for the grandma. She is spot on. Wish I was in HK to help her.
