Why I'm protesting in Hong Kong

Tens of thousands of protesters have flooded the streets of Hong Kong to demand open elections free from Beijing's influence. Eight protesters explain why they're taking a stand.

'Universal suffrage for Hong Kong'

Name: Ting Fung Choi, 32
Occupation: IT worker

The Hong Kong government doesn't understand what the people need. Right now, they only take care of themselves. Government representatives, and other businessmen, have high salaries. I very much agree that they will only get richer, while the poor get poorer.

I don't see a big change in how business operates in Hong Kong. For example, I work in a bank doing IT, and I see they have a back up plan to keep operating during the protests -- nothing is affected.

I support universal suffrage for Hong Kong. We can't let someone else take our voice away.
