The Lunar New Year is approaching. The government will rarely cancel the Lunar New Year dry goods area this year. The folks will voluntarily hold "Hei You Lu" activities in multiple districts. Among them, the Huangpu District Lunar New Year is the longest. However, the Transport Department had previously notified in writing and refused to borrow the land next to Hung Hom Pier for public safety reasons, and some stall owners then transferred to the No. 9 Aquatic Products Continuing Market.

The market started today. Some stall owners criticized the government's decision for political suppression. They should not check whether the products are politically colored. Some stall owners were disappointed with the government's decision. They believed that the existing public space was wasted and some stall owners received it. Shopping mall "warm reminder", "self-review" to sell items.

Victoria Park Lunar New Year has begun today, and the Lunar New Year Fairs spontaneously organized by people in many districts have begun. Among them, the market in Huangpu District is convenient to take the lead in opening the market at 11:30 in the morning.

Calligraphy products etc. Among them, there are also stalls for charity sales, and the proceeds are donated at no cost to help the frontline and the arrested.

The color channel should not be reviewed, it is my own freedom. "She said that the store mainly sells hand-painted local creative products, and creates a series of mouse-related products in response to the Year of the Rat. She revealed that the mall expects to have as few political products as possible, so as not to cause trouble for the organizer, so the store also tries its best to cooperate

The Christian Council's Whampoa Comprehensive Children's Service Centre also set up a stall to sell headwear, handmade soap and pendants. The director of the center, Mr. Zheng, pointed out that the government announced the decision based on public safety reasons and was afraid to say whether it was politically suppressed, but frankly disappointed with the decision. He went on to point out that the stalls seen at the scene were only general dry goods, and goods that had always appeared in the Lunar New Year Fair, not products containing party information. He mentioned that the original application for the venue bus terminal had been vacated for a long time, and now it has only been reduced to illegal parking. It is very wasteful. . "

Mr. He, who was in the neighborhood for less than half an hour, spent more than 300 yuan to buy a variety of products, many of which were related to the anti-revision campaign. He believes that the reason the government does not approve the venue is entirely "political suppression", encouraging Hong Kong people to fight against adversity, and deliberately visit the market today, and by the way support the stalls for the Lunar New Year. Regarding the government's Lunar New Year's Festival this year, only set up wet goods instead of dry goods. He used to visit the Lunar New Year's Festival every year.
