People queue to buy copies of the final edition of Apple Daily, published by Next Digital, in Hong Kong, China on June 24 2021. Picture: REUTERS/LAM YIK Apple Daily cub reporter Yau Ting-leung could not sleep much. Tired, he lay in bed on Wednesday morning checking the news.
Final publication was set for Saturday, with a skeleton crew putting out the last of the roughly 9,500 editions of the paper. Yau, the youngest member of the paper’s investigative team, ignored a warning from management to stay home, showing up at the office in an isolated industrial estate. Many others did the same.“I didn’t have to write anything today. I was put in charge of saving our work, including our award-winning reports,” said Yau, who is three years younger than Apple Daily. But he was unable to finish: “No matter how hard I tried to back up ... there just wasn’t enough time.
As he tried to focus, Choi had a mountain of other tasks, such as taking down slogans beside his desk.Deputy chief editor Chan Pui-man, out on bail after her arrest, wandered the open-plan newsroom with its “I love Apple” logos on the wall, red-eyed at times. “It’s hard to control our emotions,” she said.As news of the paper’s impending closure spread, staff could see and hear crowds gathering outside.
Photographer Harry Long, and his pictures team did not have to venture far for their last front-page image. They settled on a shot from the roof showing the people, many with umbrellas, and vehicles clogging the normally quiet street below. “We would all suddenly start crying as we just couldn’t bear to see this end,” he said. But at the same time, “everyone was happy too. That we could all work through this last day together, united in doing this one thing.”
