 “The time has come to fight back.”Whether you hold a weapon, pen, keyboard or donate money to the pro-democracy movement, everyone must do their bit for the revolution to succeed.”I will fight back as much as I can. I am ready and prepared to give up everything. I am even ready to pay with my life.”
