During the graduation ceremony on Nov 24, some students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) held an artistic demonstration expressing opinions for discussion about the CUHK. Some campus security guards tried to stop the presentation, claiming no unauthorized slogans are allowed on campus.
As reported by the University Community Press (CUHK student media), several students held an artistic demonstration in front of the Beacon monument of CUHK during the graduation ceremony. The students dressed in “graduation gowns,” which were made of black plastic bags, held slogan boards that implied that they were “the last voters of the Students Union (now dissolved).” The CUHK Student Union was forced to dissolve last year after the school accused it of making remarks violating the “Hong Kong National Security Law.” Some complained about being forced to “present a vaccine passport to gain access to the campus.” Some criticized that they graduated as “qualified social animals.” Some other banners were displayed, such as “the canteen is too expensive,” had to “beg for food before graduation,” and others barely related to politics or school policies….
