Passengers on a bus press their palms against the doors of the bus in support of the 5 demands. Originally fueled by the opposition to a single amendment bill, the Hong Kong protests have evolved into a full ' 5 Demands' movement emphasizing the "One Country, Two Systems" political structure that was promised to the Hong Kong people. Anti-government protesters, usually dressed in black, come from all walks of life, from middle school students to senior citizens. Despite countless injuries and thousands of arrests, Hong Kong continues to fight for its freedom.
