Mark L. Clifford是《南華早報》前總編輯，他參與了周日的反修例大遊行。
I marched because I am afraid. Afraid that the Hong Kong I love will disappear.
I marched because Hong Kong needs freedom. Freedom for economic prosperity. Freedom for the rule of law.
I marched because Hong Kong needs freedom from rule by law. Freedom to joke about Winnie the Pooh. Freedom so that people can feel safe in their homes, feel safe in their schools, feel safe in their workplaces.
I marched to keep Hong Kong safe. Safe from government-sponsored kidnapping. Safe from a legal system designed to serve the state and keep the Party in power.
I marched because Hong Kong people deserve fairness and they deserve fair trials.
I marched because the Hong Kong government no longer listens to its people.
I marched because this is the year 2019, no longer be a time of emperors.
I marched so that thoughts would not become crimes.
I marched because I love Hong Kong.
