I have been here for several days. I think the Chinese government should listen to the hope of the Hong Kong people.

I worry that China may make Hong Kong like North Korea, without any freedom. I worry that the Hong Kong government might call the police to force us to leave, like they did Sunday.

In the past, I hoped to be a policeman. But now, I have changed my mind. I think the police are just government slaves. The police aren't protecting us -- they only protect the government. I would rather be a fire fighter, to help the people.
