Transcription and translation of handwriting:

我信有命數,我信天無絕人之路
我信我哋繼續做一定可以做到
漫長嘅道路踏著
沉重腳步
縱然現實殘酷惟有向著上天禱告
聽日發生乜嘢事無人會知道
淨係知道呢一刻我哋要企出嚟做
(I believe in fate, I believe there is always a way out
I believe if we persist, we will make it
Each step is heavy on this long road
Though reality is cruel, we can only pray
What happens next, no one can tell, but all we can do now is just do it. )

Joshua Wong, activist and politician, Admiralty, Hong Kong, July 5, 2018. Written July 4, 2019.

Transcription and translation of handwriting:

曾經北京話俾一國兩制香港,如今已經變成一國一點五制,喺習近平管治下,我地有既自由越來越少,但我地唔會放棄,因為香港係我地既家,我地值得擁有民主、自由,無人再需要因為恐懼要離開呢度。
(Once, Beijing promised Hong Kong “One Country, Two Systems,” but it has become “One Country, 1.5 Systems” now. Under Xi Jinping’s rule our freedom has been eroding, but we will never give up because Hong Kong is our home. We deserve democracy and freedom. No one should have to flee their home out of fear.)
