Don’t forget this brave young man! Wang Dan speaks out again to support Joshua Wong

Former Hong Kong Secretary-General Joshua Wong has been imprisoned for different cases since the end of 2020. He has been in prison for more than 6 years. On the 5th, the Hong Kong High Court sentenced him to 10 years in prison for "conspiracy to collude with foreign forces to endanger national security". Chinese pro-democracy activist Wang Dan issued an article criticizing this as an extremely shameless verdict, which highlights the guilty conscience and cruelty of this self-proclaimed powerful regime. Wang Dan once again spoke out in support of Huang Zhifeng on the 7th.

Wang Dan posted a post on Facebook yesterday showing Joshua Wong in the same frame, saying sadly: "Thinking of Joshua Wong, I can't help but feel heavy. After all, like many people, I watched him grow from a junior high school student to a symbol of Hong Kong's fighting spirit. Everyone underestimated the courage of this child. He is a very smart person. From beginning to end, he knew what he was doing and what price he would pay."

In 2019, Wang Dan saw him for the last time in Washington, the United States. He recalled: "At that time, Joshua Wong already knew that Beijing would not let him go. He actually had a chance to stay in the United States and keep his own safety, but he still went back to Hong Kong and walked towards the prison. How many people in the world have such courage?"

After reading Joshua Wong's letter to a friend saying that he hopes Hong Kong will not be forgotten, Wang Dan said he was a little sad, "I guess he is a little worried, worried that Hong Kong will be forgotten; and my worry is that he will be forgotten. My prayer is that everyone will not forget this brave young man." Wang Dan said, because Huang Zhifeng's bravery is the hope for all changes.
