The Guardian did a callout asking Hong Kongers to share their feelings about the national security law. In just a few days, we got more than 30,000 messages - the most any call out the paper has done has ever gotten. Here are some of them: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/04/hongkongers-on-chinas-crackdown-i-feel-helpless-and-hopeless?CMP=share_btn_tw
Hongkongers on China's crackdown: 'I feel helpless and hopeless'

Guardian readers in or from Hong Kong share their views on the new national security law

A lot of the messages were people asking for the international community to help: "We have shown our passion, our dignity. We built Hong Kong. We contributed our time, our life to the city. Didn’t we do enough? Didn’t our peace move you? Please help us. Help Hong Kong."
Another one that is particularly resonant: "If the example of Hong Kong teaches the world anything, it is the necessity of vigilance in preserving the institutions of liberty and democracy with concrete actions. Don’t wait until it is too late."
