Mr. Nuo Xuan, a Democrat Legislative Council member who was a former student of CUHK, was there to help ease the tension. He thanked the principal Duan Chongzhi and the former principal Shen Zuyao for his tears when they were in trouble. Taking the front line to mediate, alumni and teachers also assisted the demonstrators in a concerted effort, fully embodying the New Asia school song "I am in danger, I am forging ahead, and I am asleep." I believe what happened on November 12 will be recorded in the history of CUHK.
At about 4.30 pm on the same day, Ou Nuoxuan entered the CUHK with 7 members of the Legislative Council and passed the "Four Pillars" entrance. He had already seen roadblocks on the road and was full of vehicles across the Chiniping village entrance. When arriving at the Xia Dingji Stadium, the district met with the president of the University of China Duan Chongzhi who was rushing to the front line. At that time, the principal was surrounded by the masses and reporters. He just left a sentence, "I ’m going to interview me, I'm going to negotiate with the police." President Duan negotiated with the police, as long as the demonstrators promised not to throw debris at the Tolo Highway under the No. 2 bridge, the police would evacuate.

According to the district's memory, President Duan had repeatedly negotiated with the police and demonstrators on the same day. However, because of the baptism of tear gas at the Xia Dingji Stadium earlier, and the demonstrators criticized the police for having been arrested by the University of China, the demonstrators seemed quite impetuous. One after another complained of distrust and refused to heed police demands. At night, when the principal of Duan was surrounded by students and tried to contact the police, he was driven away by tear gas fired by the police, leaving the principal to cover his nose without any protective equipment.
After President Duan exited, all parties continued their efforts and hoped that the tension would be eased, including former President of the University of China Shen Zuyao and Vice President of the University of China Wu Jipei. District Zeng joined Wu to the front line, hoping to talk to the police. I went up and went, and shot "bursting" and burying myself. I shed tears, held back, and walked forward. "
Proud of being a CUHK member
In the end, the CUHK war ended in the early hours of the 13th. As a CUHK graduate, Qu described the day as loading into the history of the CUHK. "As a CUHK adult, I am so proud. The frontline, aunt alumni and teachers all use different methods to resolve differences and contradictions. "Former principal Shen Zuyao also organized a group to provide assistance to the temporary emergency station. Demonstration students even used motorcycles, school buses, etc. to transport supplies, which impressed him and reflected Xinya. The phrase of the school song "I endure hardships and hardships, and I am sleepy and passionate."
In the past month, the establishment faction has criticized the university's high-level leaders. The government has drawn up funding for university expansion. The district frankly disgusted it, saying that "well, students will want to turn their loved campus into a battlefield." The "Battle of the Second Bridge" originated from someone throwing objects under the bridge to block the road. The police called it a stop event. The number of tear gas fired on that day was the highest in the anti-revision legislation for a half year, a total of 2,330 rounds. Breaking into the campus, it is even said that obtaining dormitory search warrants to search for contraband products has made students have a strong sense of defense. The police have a certain responsibility, "It is the sorrow of Hong Kong." At present, I only hope that CUHK can complete the repair as soon as possible. aims.
