Joshua Wong

I hold Joshua Wong in genuine respect. To found a student movement as a teenager and then stand at the center of the 2014 protests takes a moral seriousness most adults never summon. As secretary-general of Demosisto until the national security law forced its dissolution, he embodied a generation that refused to look away. I am not interested in flattening him into a symbol; what strikes me is the ordinary courage of a young person choosing, again and again, the harder path. History will keep arguing about Hong Kong, but figures like Wong are why those arguments still feel urgent and human rather than abstract.
