Voices of Hong Kong's 2014 Protest | The New York Times 20141002
Ray Yep Kin-man, Professor of Public Policy, City University of Hong Kong：
I think what I saw today really surprised me because Hong Kong used to be described as a city of political apathy, but what I saw here is a big surprise, because you see all these young faces, I think they are in teen ages or early 20s, but they are so concerned for their own city and their own home, this is really encouraging.
今天所見實在令我驚訝。香港一直被稱為政治冷感的城市，但今天所見實在驚人，你見到這些年輕的面孔，他們都是二十多歲的青少年，但他們如斯關心自己的城市、自己的家，這實在令人鼓舞。

I think Hong Kong people are all very fed up with Beijing's brokden promise, not only this time but over the last 30 years. They keep saying that democracy will come, we have been very patient, but I think they break their promise again and again and again, I think Hong Kong people can't take it anymore and we need to make our voice heard.
我認為香港人真的受夠了北京破壞承諾，不止今次，過去三十年都是如此。他們不停說會有民主，我們已經很有耐性，但他們一次又一次又一次破壞他們的承諾，香港人實在無法再忍，我們需要發聲。

並肩上 Stand by you message：
Wong (Mainland china) － 見到咁多港人為公義企出黎，覺得很感動，為你們感到驕傲！雖然喺大陸，但都會盡最大力度支持你地，Always stand by you！香港人加油！！
Feel so touched seeing so many Hong Kong people step out, proud of you all! Though I'm in Mainland China, I support you all to the greatest extent, always stand by you! Hong Kong people add oil!!
並肩上 Stand by you message：
Chiu (Boston, USA) － 10月1日boston都有集會為你地加油！You are not alone.
There was assembly in Boston in 1 Oct to support you all! You are not alone.
Michelle Wong, Flight attendant：
The feeling is that we are not working alone. And we know that we have many supporting voices to help us to stay strong and fight for what we are striking for - it's very touching. If they do not consider real options of democracy, Hong Kong will start to be a bigger part of China and will adopt Chinese policy. And we will be more influenced by China and will lose the characteristics of Hong Kong.
我覺得，我們並不孤單。有很多支持的聲音鼓勵我們堅持下去，去爭取我們想爭取的東西 － 這是很令人感動的。如果他們不考慮真正的民主選擇，香港會變成中國的一部份，會被中國政策同化，我們會更受中國影響並失去香港的特色。

On the ground, people are covering walls with notes of encouragement. Tear gas and heavy rains have not driven away the protesters, many of whom have been sleeping on the streets throughout the occupation.
空地上，人們將支持語句貼滿石牆。催淚彈及大雨沒有沖走抗爭者，很多人於佔領時期在街上席地而睡。
Yip Kin-leong, Restaurant worker：
因為我覺得要出來支持自己人，支持香港人及學生們，不可以因為少少雨就放棄。我做飲食業，在上環一間餐廳工作。因為我覺得既然學生都為我們這些已在工作的人的前路去打拼，我覺得我們更要支援他們。
I think I need to come out and support our people, and support our students. You really can't give up because of a little rain. I work in the food and beverage industry in a Sheung Wan restaurant. And I think since the students have fought for the future of workers like us, we have to support even more.
我覺得不會沒改變，因為始終這一次的規模太大，我覺得怎樣也會動搖到他們，不會甚麼改變都沒有。可能會延遲，可以會拖我們，但我覺得最少可以令他們知道，（我們）不是沒威力。
I think there will be some changes. The scale of the protest this time is so big. It will shake them, there will be changes. Maybe this will postpone and drag on... But the bottom line is they know we're not exactly powerless.

On Thursday morning, the crowds of protesters had thinned out. But organizers and protesters have not given up hope.
星期四早上，抗爭者人潮逐漸消退。但組織者及抗爭者沒有放棄希望。
Yep：
I think we have made it very clear, not just to Beijing but people all over in the world, that's that we want: we want democracy. We made our point in a very civilized and peaceful way, so I think anybody heard us. Whether we get what we want, we'll have to wait and see, but I think, at least we try.
我覺得，我們很清晰地表達了我們的訴求 － 不止對北京，還有全世界的人：我們要有民主。我們很文明及和平地表達我們的訴求，我想每個人都已聽到我們的聲音。我們會否得其所願，還需拭目以待，但至少，我們嘗試爭取。
