In particular, only by gaining the support and understanding of local British people can we continue to do it in the UK.
British MPs attending the opening ceremonyFabian HamiltonWhen speaking, he expressed concern that the Hong Kong government would further suppress the freedom of Hong Kong people. “Freedom is indivisible. We will not be knocked down by totalitarianism. They want to prevent our freedom as human beings to express ourselves.” He also believes that “art is the best way to record a group, a culture and a history.”
The Leeds Brothers Connection, which is hosting the event this time, is not a registered organization in the UK, so it has not applied for any government funding. It only raises the necessary funds to hold the event through fundraising.ChloeHe believes that groups in the UK should first understand the needs of Hong Kong people. Taking Leeds as an example, most Hong Kong people have families or are about to start families and live there. Therefore, the activities focus on elements suitable for all ages, attracting them to participate first, and thus connecting with the community.
