The "Frog Road" on the North Gate trail on the HKUST campus has been painted with the slogan "Hope lies in the people, and change begins with resistance" after the Occupy Movement in 2014. Since then, the student union will refuel once a year.

In June last year, the first anniversary of the anti-amendment legislation approached. The HKUST Student Union’s application to the school to repaint the slogan was rejected. The school used iron fences and white cloth to obstruct the operation, and then the student would “raid” to refuel on another day.

In January this year, the Academic Affairs Office of the University of Science and Technology issued a letter to the members of the Student Union, punishing them for holding a memorial service for Zhou Zile’s death and refueling on Frog Road. Among them, the then president of the University of Science and Technology Student Union Mai Jiajun and the vice president of the internal affairs were ordered to suspend school for a semester.

The President of the University of Science and Technology Student Council was ordered to suspend school for one semester due to five actions including Zhou Zile’s memorial service.
