The 2014 Hong Kong protests, also known as the Umbrella Movement or Umbrella
Revolution, began in September 2014 when activists in Hong Kong protested outside 
the government headquarters and occupied several major city intersections after 
the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) announced its 
decision on proposed electoral reform. 
In disallowing civil nominations, the NPCSC made 
it clear that a 1200-member nominating committee, which would remain nominated by 
the business factions and strictly controlled by Beijing, would elect two to three 
electoral candidates with more than half of the votes before the general public can vote 
upon.
The Hong Kong Federation of Students and Scholarism began protesting outside the 
government headquarters on 22 September 2014 against the NPCSC's decision. 
On the 
evening of 26 September, several hundred demonstrators breached a security barrier 
and entered the forecourt of the Central Government Complex led by Joshua Wong, 
which was once a public space that has been barred from public entry since July 2014. 
Officers cordoned off protesters within the courtyard and restricted their movement 
overnight, eventually removing them by force the next day. 
Occupy Central announced 
that they would begin their civil disobedience campaign immediately.
On 28 September, protesters blocked both east–west arterial routes in northern Hong 
Kong Island near Admiralty. Heavy-handed police tactics, including the unnecessary use 
of tear gas, and attacks on protesters by opponents that included triad members, 
triggered more citizens joining the protests. 
The government set 6 October as a 
'deadline' for the protests to end, but this was ignored by protesters, although they 
allowed government workers to enter offices that had previously been blocked. 
The 
state-run Chinese media claimed that the West had played an "instigating" role in the 
protests and that "more people in Hong Kong are supporting the anti-Occupy Central 
movement," and warned of "deaths and injuries and other grave consequences.“ 
In an 
opinion poll carried out by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 59% of 850 people 
surveyed since 4 October supported the protests.
…day until sunset
…we are calm and we keep fighting in a peaceful manner

This is not an end,
this is just the beginning…
Things that could only happen in a
Hong Kong protest
By Samanthi Dissanayake
BBC News
Tear gas, pepper spray, feelings of anger and
betrayal, crowds forced to run from riot police... and
yet the protests retain that uniquely Hong Kong
character.
Reporters and Hong Kong residents have shared their
most surreal and charming experiences on the
streets.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-29423147
Doing your homework
Perhaps it isn't actually anarchic but it is definitely
one of the biggest protests in Hong Kong for years.
And yet students - some of whom were at the
vanguard of this movement - find time to sit down
and do their homework. Richard Frost for
Bloomberg News tweeted this picture of children
doing just that.
Students doing their homework in Hong Kong's street protest
Apologizing for the barricade you put up
An entrance to the Causeway Bay MTR station was
barricaded and emblazoned with signs shouting out
for democracy. In the middle was a small cardboard
sign - also written by the protesters: "Sorry for the
inconvenience."
Hong Kong resident Collier Nogues, who took the picture, said it is
"characteristic of the feeling everywhere I went this afternoon. Generous,
polite."
Always apologise for putting up a barricade and blocking access
Deploying ancient arts of self defence with an umbrellaThe humblest and
most domestic of props became a protest icon after it was transformed into
a shield against pepper spray and tear gas. The picture of a sole protester
wielding his umbrella against the tear gas went viral online on Monday.
And when it began to rain on Tuesday, it was put to its secondary use as
protection in wet weather. Residents also tweeted that protesters were
distributing raincoats in Mong Kok. Police say umbrellas were also used by
some protesters to threaten officers during Sunday night's unrest.
How to deploy an umbrella in self defence
Concern for how fragrant fellow protesters areHong-Kong-based journalist Tom
Grundy tweeted this picture of a protester proffering free shirt-fresheners. At times the
temperature has been sweltering and amid the crowds things are bound to get a little bit
sweaty.
Shirt freshener anyone?
Keeping off the well cut grass lawn when asked by a cardboard sign
A picture on the live page of the South China Morning Post showed a sea
of protesters who it noted had parted for the grass courtyard where Hong
Kong's cenotaph is located. Protesters still obeyed signs telling them to
keep off the grass at the monument, putting the "civil" into civil
disobedience.
"Despite the crowds around the war memorial in Central, not one person
is standing or sitting on the grass. There's a new cardboard sign over the
usual sign telling people not to go on the grass," the Hong Kong-based
paper wrote.
File picture of Hong Kong's war memorial outside the old legislative council building -
protesters stayed off the grass
Being the tidiest protesters on the block
The BBC's Saira Asher reports on how diligently the
protesters cleared up after themselves. "The morning is
being spent mostly removing rubbish left over from last
night's huge crowd. Students are picking up cigarette
butts and plastic bottles, others are distributing
breakfast buns. That is why those on the street are being
called 'the politest protesters' by some on social media."
Recycling has also been organised by those on the streets. Many agree that the world hasn't
seen organised and tidy protests quite like this before.
Most witnesses agree that despite the clashes on Sunday
night and the sheer anger at China's decision to restrict
who can run to be Hong Kong's leader, the mood on the
streets is largely peaceful and generous. There have been
incidents of commuters and angry local residents
exhorting protesters to give up and leave - a reminder that
not all of Hong Kong's residents agree with the
demonstrations
(Remark from Curator: Those who dose not agree because they are benefited from the
existing distorted system).
But for the moment it looks as if the Hong Kong protesters
will keep on tidying up, creating lanes to enable smooth
passage, doing their homework and of course making the
demands they see as crucial to the future of Hong
Kong.
How the humble umbrella became a HK protest symbol

Standing in the rain…
What we are standing here fighting for today,
you share with it and you are eventually benefited…
do you understand, do you understand???
If it is your duty standing here fighting the rain, I am here to
share what you are suffering…

The 2014 Hong Kong protests, also known as the Umbrella Movement or Umbrella Revolution, began in September 2014 when activists in Hong Kong protested outside  the government headquarters and occupied several major city intersections after  the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) announced its  decision on proposed electoral reform.  In disallowing civil nominations, the NPCSC made  it clear that a 1200-member nominating committee, which would remain nominated by  the business factions and strictly controlled by Beijing, would elect two to three  electoral candidates with more than half of the votes before the general public can vote  upon. The Hong Kong Federation of Students and Scholarism began protesting outside the  government headquarters on 22 September 2014 against the NPCSC's decision.  On the  evening of 26 September, several hundred demonstrators breached a security barrier  and entered the forecourt of the Central Government Complex led by Joshua Wong,  which was once a public space that has been barred from public entry since July 2014.  Officers cordoned off protesters within the courtyard and restricted their movement  overnight, eventually removing them by force the next day.  Occupy Central announced  that they would begin their civil disobedience campaign immediately. On 28 September, protesters blocked both east–west arterial routes in northern Hong  Kong Island near Admiralty. Heavy-handed police tactics, including the unnecessary use  of tear gas, and attacks on protesters by opponents that included triad members,  triggered more citizens joining the protests.  The government set 6 October as a  'deadline' for the protests to end, but this was ignored by protesters, although they  allowed government workers to enter offices that had previously been blocked.  The  state-run Chinese media claimed that the West had played an "instigating" role in the  protests and that "more people in Hong Kong are supporting the anti-Occupy Central  movement," and warned of "deaths and injuries and other grave consequences.“  In an  opinion poll carried out by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 59% of 850 people  surveyed since 4 October supported the protests.

  • 43. Things that could only happen in a Hong Kong protest By Samanthi Dissanayake BBC News Tear gas, pepper spray, feelings of anger and betrayal, crowds forced to run from riot police... and yet the protests retain that uniquely Hong Kong character. Reporters and Hong Kong residents have shared their most surreal and charming experiences on the streets. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-29423147
  • 44. Doing your homework Perhaps it isn't actually anarchic but it is definitely one of the biggest protests in Hong Kong for years. And yet students - some of whom were at the vanguard of this movement - find time to sit down and do their homework. Richard Frost for Bloomberg News tweeted this picture of children doing just that. Students doing their homework in Hong Kong's street protest
  • 45. Apologizing for the barricade you put up An entrance to the Causeway Bay MTR station was barricaded and emblazoned with signs shouting out for democracy. In the middle was a small cardboard sign - also written by the protesters: "Sorry for the inconvenience." Hong Kong resident Collier Nogues, who took the picture, said it is "characteristic of the feeling everywhere I went this afternoon. Generous, polite." Always apologise for putting up a barricade and blocking access
  • 46. Deploying ancient arts of self defence with an umbrellaThe humblest and most domestic of props became a protest icon after it was transformed into a shield against pepper spray and tear gas. The picture of a sole protester wielding his umbrella against the tear gas went viral online on Monday. And when it began to rain on Tuesday, it was put to its secondary use as protection in wet weather. Residents also tweeted that protesters were distributing raincoats in Mong Kok. Police say umbrellas were also used by some protesters to threaten officers during Sunday night's unrest. How to deploy an umbrella in self defence
  • 47. Concern for how fragrant fellow protesters areHong-Kong-based journalist Tom Grundy tweeted this picture of a protester proffering free shirt-fresheners. At times the temperature has been sweltering and amid the crowds things are bound to get a little bit sweaty. Shirt freshener anyone?
  • 48. Keeping off the well cut grass lawn when asked by a cardboard sign A picture on the live page of the South China Morning Post showed a sea of protesters who it noted had parted for the grass courtyard where Hong Kong's cenotaph is located. Protesters still obeyed signs telling them to keep off the grass at the monument, putting the "civil" into civil disobedience. "Despite the crowds around the war memorial in Central, not one person is standing or sitting on the grass. There's a new cardboard sign over the usual sign telling people not to go on the grass," the Hong Kong-based paper wrote.

  • 49. Being the tidiest protesters on the block The BBC's Saira Asher reports on how diligently the protesters cleared up after themselves. "The morning is being spent mostly removing rubbish left over from last night's huge crowd. Students are picking up cigarette butts and plastic bottles, others are distributing breakfast buns. That is why those on the street are being called 'the politest protesters' by some on social media." Recycling has also been organised by those on the streets. Many agree that the world hasn't seen organised and tidy protests quite like this before.
  • 50. Most witnesses agree that despite the clashes on Sunday night and the sheer anger at China's decision to restrict who can run to be Hong Kong's leader, the mood on the streets is largely peaceful and generous. There have been incidents of commuters and angry local residents exhorting protesters to give up and leave - a reminder that not all of Hong Kong's residents agree with the demonstrations (Remark from Curator: Those who dose not agree because they are benefited from the existing distorted system). But for the moment it looks as if the Hong Kong protesters will keep on tidying up, creating lanes to enable smooth passage, doing their homework and of course making the demands they see as crucial to the future of Hong Kong.
