Withdraw National Education!

Today we've successfully occupied

government headquarters.

We have over 100 Scholarism members,

citizens and volunteers gathered here.

What we're fighting for

is plain and simple.

We hope that the next generation

will have freedom.

Do you worry

about the police using force?

The police do not need to use force.

Scholarism insists on being peaceful,

rational and nonviolent.

So, we hope the police can also be

peaceful, rational and nonviolent.

We are occupying a public area

outside of the government headquarters.

And we named that place Civic Square.

I feel really excited,

but I also feel a bit nervous

because of the people's expectations

of me and Scholarism.

Around 6:
30 in the morning,

someone woke me up

and told me that CY Leung

come to the square.

It's the second time for me to have

the discussion with the chief executive.

These students are not camping out

for fun.

Why are you neglecting

the public's opinion?

This is a three-year initiation period.

Scholarism objects to

National Education's "initiation period."

If we agree on the initiation period,

it means that we agree

with setting up National Education.

I'd like to ask if it's possible

to launch the initiation period

but not launch

the actual National Education?

These questions can be discussed

in the committee.

Visiting the students should not be done

just a few days

before starting the initiation period.

We are really disappointed by that.

Unfortunately, it seems

that he just hoped to do a PR show

instead of really

having a conversation with us.

During the first days,

I was quite depressed.

Only a few people come to support us.

Water seeps into the tents,

but the students won't give up.

We don't want the next generation

in Hong Kong

to have to study National Education.

Joshua, school starts in a few days.

What is your plan?

If CY Leung doesn't withdraw

National Education before September 3rd,

even though we have to go back to school,

we will carry on and continue to fight.

When I wake up, there is only

10 or 20 people inside the square.

There seems to be no hope.

But a miracle happened.

Joshua Wong!

Keep it up!

Scholarism!

Keep it up!

More and more people come to the square.

In the past few days,

there were not many protesters.

But today we've successfully filled

government headquarters.

We have over 4000 people here.

They're even blocking the roads.

The movement is for all people!

With no fear!

Occupy the government headquarters!

Escalate the movement!

All people occupying

government headquarters!

Immediately withdraw the curriculum!

I hope people can shout this last slogan
