Hong Kong fencing representative Zhang Jialong won the gold medal in the men's individual foil fencing competition at the Olympic Games on Monday (26th). On that day, hundreds of citizens gathered at the Kwun Tong apm shopping mall to watch the live broadcast.
And there are online clips circulating that when Zhang Jialang received the award and played the national anthem, the mall booed when there were citizens in the mall.
