A reader sent in a letter, wishing the comrades behind the wall a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Some netizens on the other side of the wall reminded us that the festival is not only for commemorating Qu Yuan, but also memorizing well innumerous morally courageous people who have been deprived of freedoms, or even lost contact with us.

From time to time, readers send us letters from overseas. On the anniversary of 6.12, a flood of armed police officers wantonly stripped the citizens of their freedoms in town in a bid to bar them from voicing their opinion. However, our willpower to resist have been all over the world, as evidenced by the sounds of bugles reverberating in rallies held in various cities that have demonstrated how determined the fighters from Hong Kong are in striving for freedoms.

Driving out darkness

To the comrades imprisoned for justice：

" As thy days, so shall thy strength be.”

What does this saying from the Holy Bible refer to?

It can’t be read reversely.

If it is reversed,

it becomes “As thy strength, so shall thy days be”.

This is the way the world sees it.

The more powerful you are,

the more prosperous your life is.

This is what the Holy Bible tells us.

The more terrible your life is,

and the darker the situation you are in,

the more glaring the “candlelight” in your heart is.

The Creator has put a light in our hearts.

If you let it shine,

in the dark

the light is luminous enough to radiate outwards

to illuminate your steps ahead.

That is true light,

and the protector in our hearts.
