EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see a striking advertisement on a taxi in Hong Kong that carries the portraits of five pro-democracy lawmakers who recently resigned from the legislature. From left to right, Leung Kwok-hung, Raymond Wong, Albert Chan, Alan Leong, and Tanya Chan are depicted with determination etched on their faces. The image serves as a powerful symbol of their collective effort to pressure China into granting greater democratic concessions to the former British colony. Taken ahead of an upcoming by-election on May 16th, this photograph encapsulates the essence of Hong Kong's fight for full democracy. The by-election is not merely viewed as a political event but rather as a de facto referendum on the future governance of this vibrant territory. The composition is masterfully captured by photographer Bobby Yip from Reuters Images. Against the backdrop of bustling city streets and towering skyscrapers, these resolute faces stand out boldly against adversity. Their presence on such an unconventional canvas – a moving taxi – ensures that their message reaches far and wide throughout Hong Kong. This thought-provoking image reminds us all that democracy is not just an abstract concept; it is something worth fighting for. It serves as both inspiration and reminder that change can be brought about through unity and unwavering determination.
