Many members of the pro-democracy party also took a group photo under the "立" character Peugeot. They chanted slogans such as "Come on Hong Kong, fight to the end, Hong Kong people, see you in the bottom."

Hu Zhiwei said that the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council today deliberated on the preliminary funding for Lantau tomorrow, and the establishments kept raising questions. He described the situation as "quite funny". "The establishments raised a lot of'so-called' quality issues today, which just reflects the pan-people's in the Parliament. At that time, the establishment did not have a responsible supervision of the government, and only acted as worms and used mobile phones, which fundamentally made the parliament unbalanced and completely ignored the opinions of the democrats and the public."

When asked whether the democrats would stand for election to the Legislative Council in the future, Hu Zhiwei pointed out that the current parliamentary system has many "framework" restricting the function of members to monitor the government. He also frankly said that there are many unknowns in the election next year. The election is unknown. It is unknown if you can vote but whether you can stand for elections. Even under the new regulations, it is unknown how long you can be elected but can do.” He believes that the democrats need new imagination in the democratic movement in the future. Election may be just one of the platforms of the protest movement, emphasizing the path of the democrats, no matter what the basis of the democratic movement is to never give up, there is hope with persistence.
