The "Pillar of National Sorrow", which has been erected on the campus of the University of Hong Kong for more than 20 years, was approved by the school council yesterday (22nd) to move away from the campus of the University of Hong Kong.

At 7 am, the container truck was escorted by a police car and moved away from the campus of the University of Hong Kong, and was taken to the Kadoorie Center of the University of Hong Kong.
