Ten years have passed, but injustice is still rampant.
The road of resistance is not easy, and only through perseverance can we go out. From the World Trade Organization in 2005 to the anti–parallel trading protests in 2015, how many struggles have Hong Kong people experienced?

Twenty-two records of events bear witness to the evolution of resistance in Hong Kong over the past decade.
