“Glory to Hong Kong” was written just three weeks ago by a composer identified only as “Thomas dgx yhl.” The song has ignited Hong Kong’s protest movement.
The song is an example of the persistence and creativity of the leaderless Hong Kong protest movement, which has nimbly outmaneuvered Beijing and Hong Kong authorities. It moves so quickly that it often makes the stern editorializing of Chinese state media appear desiccated and out of touch.
Hong Kong’s protest movement erupted several months ago over a legislative bill that would have allowed extradition to mainland China. It persisted through the summer with peaceful mass marches, but also increasingly violent clashes between riot police and protesters.
