This section aims to tell how Hongkongers are different from Mainland Chinese. From the borders of Hong Kong, to the differences in languages, culture and values, the identity of Hongkongers has formed.

### 1989 Massacre, 1997 Handover and the first wave of immigration (400 ft. sqt.)
The lease of Hong Kong is ending soon, while the 1989 massacre in Beijing sparked a panic across the world's Chinese community. The hope of democratizing China, the fear of ruled by China are on the mind of most Hong Kong people. China made their promises, and yet a huge group of Hong Kong people chose to leave.
### 2003 - 2013 Law Article 23, High Speed Rail, Reclaim Sheung Shui (200 ft. sqt)
The first huge protest against Hong Kong Government - the July 1st Protest against Law Article 23. The 2003 CEPA accelarated the economic merges between Hong Kong and China, and also highlighted the fictions between Hongkongers and Chinese.

3. What has it costed already
4. In the macro view of history, to rethink about colonization - Why Hongkongers prefer British Colonization but not Chinese Colonization


### The Timeline
The Timeline and The Symbols will form a big part of the museum together. One can imagine a straight corridor, where the content of The Timeline is put on your left and the content of The Symbols are at your right.

#### 6.9 & Prior (200 ft. sqt.)
Why people were suddenly eager to go on the street again? Why Jun 9 but not the other rallies before? Can we see the impact of Umbrella movement, especially in the awareness of "stageless"?
#### The City of Tear Gas (200 ft. sqt.)
The massive use of tear gas, which people defended themselves with masks, the signature symbol of the movment. The movement spread from the two sides of victoria harbour to the whole city quickly, where tear gas were shot, and smoking the whole city in.
Protestors created democracy walls everyehere in the city, trying to speak against the state-controlled reporting from major television and news channels.
#### The United Police and Gangster (200 ft. sqt.)
Without means to stop the protest, and the guts to listen to people, Hong Kong Government and its police resorted to violence. Allowing gangsters and later themselves to violently beat down protesters returning home and also unarmed civilians, the police tried to calm the crowd down with fear, but that didn't not work. 
#### Targeting University Students: CUHK & PolyU (200 ft. sqt.)
The police then turned their eyes on the students, attacking CUHK and surrounding PolyU, trying to silence the young voices. Many students had experienced the hopelessness during the events, but giving up is not the option.
(Might append the founding history of the two universities, during the british period)
#### The Gunshot & The Short Vicotry at District Council Election (200 ft. sqt.)
Finally a real gun shot was made, the whole community shocked but nothing had happened. The Hong Kong Government admitted no mistakes and almost no police had faced any charges against their violent acts in the movement.
In the next district election, the pro-democratic camp won dramatically. But victory were short, as the government start cutting down related budget and reduced their powers by asking governmental staffs to not cooperate. This was the signals showing that the Beijing and Hong Kong Government is willing to destory established democratic systems in order to hold on to their power.

#### The Arrestment (200 ft. sqt.)
In the name of Corvid, the Hong Kong government banned all kinds of protests and gathering. Arresting all named figures in the movement, forcing June 4th Museum and AppleDaily to end their business. Many took the chance to leave Hong Kong.

### The Symbols
#### G20 and Twitter (200 ft. sqt.)
Anything happened to Hong Kong were meant to be global. Hongkongers have learnt much from Ulkraine's Winter on Fire. Realized that fighting on the streets will never lead to China's surrender, Hongkongers tried to bring the event to global level, first with G20 Headlines.
#### The Raincoat (200 ft. sqt.)
The first blood of the movement. A brave soul used his life to accuse the Hong Kong Government, who paid no respect to his death. His death solidified the will of Hongkongers. Many others shared the same sense of hopelessness and some followed his steps. Volunteer teams were formed to save people from harming themselves. In the darkest night, Hongkongers hold each others tight.
In the explosion of the deep emotions, many kinds of protest arts are created. From musics, parodies, to animation, to express their desires to be free, and to mourn who they had lost.
#### 光復香港，時代革命 & The Hong Kong Way (200 ft. sqt.)
First mentioned by Edward Leung Tin-kei, carried on by his followers, and spreaded in the movement. The slogan has become a signature of the movement. While not everyone shared the same vision of Hong Kong, but all would agree that the current Hong Kong is not for Hongkongers.
Trying to gain global attention, Hongkongers organized The Hong Kong Way in coherence of The Baltic Way. It is a consensus that global pressures were needed for the movement to achieve anything. 
#### Livestreams, Be Water, HKmap.live & Yellow & Blue Map (200 ft. sqt.)
When protest become a weekly or daily activities, protesters had advanced their technologies and strategies. How Hongkongers tried to harass police force with minimum forces.
#### The 'National Anthem' *Glory to Hong Kong* (200 ft. sqt.)
This song was called the national anthem once published. Obviously we need to make room for this song.

BNO VISA and more. (To be researched)

- Why HKers love British Colonization?
- Western democracy does not work with Asians?
- Is it wise to fight a seemingly un-winnable war? Or to dodge a war for justice?
