The government needs to listen to us. They don't say very much, and only tell the police how to react. The police may do something more harmful, and that makes a lot of people very scared.

Many students cry, because they are very worried. But they are still positive for the future. They believe the situation can change and be better.

This is a big event, not only for the economy, but also for the long term. Policy is long-lasting. This will change the life and environment of my future sons, and grandsons. I have to do something now to protect them, my family, and my future. If I don't act now, maybe I won't be able to later.
