It's effectively a life sentence, which he started serving years before the trial even started. IMO this was always the plan. As soon as GovHK had him locked up, they were never going to let him out, one way or the other. They'll make the usual excuses, but they know exactly what they're doing.

Hirundo was a cargo & passenger steamer plying between Shantou & SE Asia. In 1930 it was raided by pirates but unusually the pirates commanded the chef to prepare them a banquet & afterwards complimented him on its excellence. A rather classy touch I have to say….

Mainland netizens were fucking pissed off. Some have pointed out the state media's hypocrisy. On Jan 1, Dr Li was a malicious rumour monger. By Feb 7, when the man was dead and cold, Dr Li was a hero for alerting everyone of COVID. "There were no rumours, only lies" Source: Telegram (Feb 2020)

A rare "disaster postcard" of the PS Hankow, a paddle steamer that was gutted by fire in 1906 in HK with the loss of 130 Chinese lives. This postcard was posted from HK in 1907 where it must have been purchased... It shows a large crowd watching the ship burn, along with people inside it!!

My long read for the South China Morning Post weekend magazine on the refurbishment of the 1928 Modernist Hotel Central, adjacent to Macao’s Senado Square. Once a haunt of gamblers, gangsters, spies, celebrities and Ian Fleming….

This is the exact same garbage Chinese state media and Western tankies were peddling about Hong Kong in 2019. The fact people can autonomously band together, pool resources, rally donations, and organise is truly unthinkable to some folks. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean others can't.

Hong Kong authorities shocked by teenage fan fervour some 60 years after Beatlemania, with “fans running towards the standing area next to the stage as soon as they hurried down the steps, even though security guards told them not to run & tried to maintain order.”

It took 14, FOURTEEN years, to find that the HK Marine Dept inspectors - like the HK Building Dept's scaffolding inspectors, etc - are incompetent and useless. Such a sad indictment of the state of the various departments within the HK Government.
