It was reported on the Internet that someone launched a "flash mob" tonight (17th) to protest the removal of the pillar of national mourning by the University of Hong Kong.

At 6:30 p.m., no one was seen at the protest site. Only a few leaflets and white flowers were placed on the Huang Kejing platform, where the pillar of national mourning used to be placed, and in front of the school logo of the Centennial Campus of HKU. The leaflets were printed with "The people will not forget" and other words, and poured red dragon juice liquid, and then security arrived at the scene to pick up the leaflet and white flowers, and clean up the scene.

The original location of the meeting place "Pillar of National Mourning" is nowhere to be seen

A few days ago, there was news on the Internet that someone would carry out a "flash mob" operation at around 6:30 tonight to protest the removal of the "pillar of national mourning" by the University of Hong Kong's Huang Kejing platform.

After a large number of reporters arrived at the scene, there was no trace of anyone, but a stack of documents was placed on the ground with the words "Students' Union enjoys the right to manage the platform of Huang Kejing" and "The Pillar of Shame." Documents are picked up and put away.

Leaflet is drizzled with red pitaya juice

More than ten minutes later, someone came to the scene again, saying that there was a row of leaflets and white flowers in front of the school badge of the centennial campus of the University of Hong Kong. After the reporter arrived, there was still no trace of anyone, but the leaflet was splashed on. Broken red dragon fruit juice, with the words "Shame on HKU", "The Old Cannot Kill The Young" and "People will not forget" printed on it, the security immediately picked up the leaflet and white flowers, and cleaned up the scene.

The original place where the statue was placed on the Huang Kejing platform has now been covered with wooden floors and pebble-shaped seats.

The Pillar of National Mourning︱Academy: The original site has wooden floors and new seats. The school suspects that it will be used as a rest space. Li Guozhang says the pillar of national mourning is a hoax. Ownership will be re-directed to the pillar of national mourning. It is planned to rebuild the Pillar of Shame in Taipei next year on June 4th: National mourning is for Hong Kong people
