Pro-democracy protesters waves American flags and flags reading "Liberate Hong Kong, the Revolution of Our Times" during a protest in Hong Kong, Sunday, Dec. 8, 2019. Marchers are again expected to fill Hong Kong streets Sunday in a rally that will test the enduring appeal of an anti-government movement marking a half year of demonstrations.
"Her performance art is about the difficulty, or the repetitiveness, of demonstrations," said one of her friends, who walked alongside and identified herself by her surname, Chan. “This is really a long-term struggle."Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators crammed into Hong Kong's streets, their chants echoing off high-rises, in a mass show of support for the protest movement entering its seventh month.
The demonstrator who crawled part of the route wouldn't give her name. But her protest turned heads, gave pause for thought and raised the question: How much longer can Hong Kong keep up its push to preserve its freedoms that make it unique among China's cities?"We have too much burden, but perhaps we have enough hope to make us go further," she said.
“So many people are still supporting this movement. You can see how determined Hong Kong people are," said demonstrator Justin Ng, a 20-year-old student. The protests have since snowballed into a broad anti-government campaign, presenting the communist leadership in Beijing with a major headache and battering Hong Kong's economy.
Authorities, who have liberally used tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets at previous demonstrations, say force has been necessary to disperse hard-core protesters who have battled riot officers, vandalized shops and thrown gasoline bombs. Police banned mass marches as protests turned increasingly violent, but relented and allowed Sunday's march after a few weeks of relative peace.

It was at least eight hundred thousand.
The people of Hong Kong are showing determination to fight for freedom and democracy. Will the world give a helping hand?
Maybe we should trade Americans who want to implement Communism and waive our 2A rights with Hong Kong citizens who want freedom.
Can you imagine how we feel when we think of those who have sacrificed themselves over these six months? I hope that they could be one of the lights here but they couldn't 😢
hongkongers are amazing that they share the common goal to fight for what they suppose to have and deserve to have. Five demands are the majority of public opinion. However, Hong Kong government is blind and deaf to see and hear nothing.
Our fight for freedom and democracy will go on until the 5 demands are met HongKongProtests StandWithHongKong 5DemandsNot1Less
Justicegroupie2 Hey ABC are you sure this is Hong Kong?
5 Demands not 1 less Hope HK gov listen our voice
No matter in heated breeze or cold blast, HKers persist on fighting for more democracy and accountability. Ignored by our govt, we hope our voices are loud enough to be heard by the world. Please support us and also other places being controlled by tyranny. StandWithHongKong
That's what Democracy looks like to the world. How lucky America is to have had this Democracy for forever!😀😀😀😀😀😀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!
Standing with HK. Some of the most tenacious, hardworking and resilient people I’ve met were HKongers. 加油香港人
We have been fighting for our 5DemandsNot1Less for months & yet our gov't still turned a blind eye to it. We will continue until our voices are heard!
The demands of hk people have never been unclear to the world. 5DemandsNot1Less anticcp HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct HKprotests

In spite of peaceful rallies and civilised election, the Hong Kong government still ignore us. But we will never give up! Photo credit: 城寨facebook
Every time millions of people take to the streets, is also told the totalitarian government, 'We will not give in.' No matter how much time has passed, as long as the 'five demands not one less' has not been fulfilled, we will not stop!!! StandwithHongKong HumanRights
idawhannadoyou Hoe about we trade a million or so men and women from Hong Kong desperate for freedom for a million or so American liberals desperate to have their lives run and controlled by Government Communists. Would be an amazing social experiment.
TheLastRefuge2 They’re marching against the type of government that democrats favor...
This is common sense.
HongKongers everybody add oil 5DemandsNot1Less FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong
Beautiful! StandWithHongKong
We need to do this if Trump is not impeached & removed from office.
JayWrenn That will happen here, If this continues in 2020.
Night scene is one of the famous sight seeing scene of Hong Kong, but it should be from the lights of households, but not mobile phone lights of angry people going out on the street, fighting for the basic human rights HongKongProtests 5DemandsNot1Less
carrielam hongkonggov ccp can you hear that! No because you all don’t care! But we do care! So we keep fighting for almost 6 months! Don’t forget we have fought for that since 1997, 2003, 2012, 2014 and today!
Why can't United State's citizens take to the streets over how long this Trump impeachment has taken ?
catinblackwalks We shall never surrender. We are Hongkongers. 5DemandsNot1Less
1. Full withdrawal of the extradition bill 2. An independent commission of inquiry into alleged police brutality 3. Retracting the classification of protesters as 'rioters' 4. Amnesty for arrested protesters 5. Dual universal suffrage: Legislative Council & the Chief Executive
800,000 people joined the protests. That's more than 10% of the whole population. It just shows the persistence of Hong Kong people in fighting for freedom. The government & HKPolice should stop any brutality & suppression on these protesters and give them justice! FreeHK
Five demands, not one less! FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong
Fight for Freedom! Stand with Hong Kong!
JESUS save you, Hong Kong. The Blood of JESUS has Power. ChinaDaily.
TheLastRefuge2 Frankly, I am amazed or any major news outfit is broadcasting these images. They have proven over the past many years they value their access in China and pleasing the CCP more than free reporting of honest news.
Still using bows and arrows? When I need to use deadly force, I use an AR-15. My Founding Fathers taught me well.
Even the people in Hong Kong recognize that we have a great president.
You only saw demonstrations in Hong Kong, what about the ones happening in Algeria since 9 months by millions and not even a word from all of you!!! Shame Shame Shame on the so called Media of the free world freealgeria
Protesters are united against the Democrats favorite communist country
It’s funny how ABC never reports on what the protesters are shouting...
Coz freedom & democracy are what all people should protect in the world. Anyone undermine is an feudal evil.
Until 5DemandsNot1Less are met, we can’t and we won’t stop, for the sake of the passed away and for the future of the young generations, for freedom, human rights and justice, we will keep on voicing
Curious why we aren’t in the streets like this demanding realDonaldTrump resign
greens claim greta protest is bigger
How can you do?
