The purpose of the banner was to protest the then-Hong Kong chief executive officer Tung Chee-Wha awarded an honorary doctorate degree by Lawrence Lau, the principal of CUHK.

[33] Another familiar yellow-with-black-font "We Demand Genuine Universal Suffrage #Umbrella Movement" (「我要真普選」) banner was unfurled but this time at Kowloon Peak that is located next to Lion Rock.

More happenings of the hanging of "We Demand Genuine Universal Suffrage #Umbrella Movement" (「我要真普選」) and this time the banner was located on the building of a pro-democracy print newspaper Apple Daily headquarter.

[35] On the final days of the Umbrella Movement, two over-sized vertical banners, both were yellow with black font, were among the hundreds of pieces of protest materials being cleaned out.

[36] The smaller one of the two was originally spread out over Harcourt Road and then later vertically hung on a lamppost that showed "WE WILL BE BACK", in capitalized English and "Citizens swear to return" (「人民誓必歸來」) in Chinese.

[43][44] The 2016 Mongkok Civil Unrest, also known as "Fishball Revolution", markedly show the impatience of Hong Kong people after nearly 20 years of fighting for democracy and the beginning of a more violent clashing with authorities.

[45] However, hill-top vertical protest banners continue to surprise, reigniting people's desire to true dual universal suffrage: voting rights to both Hong Kong's Chief Executive and Legislative Council.

A 20-meter yellow banner with a new phrase "Hong Kong Add Oil" (「香港加油」) in Chinese characters was found on Devil's Peak in Lei Yue Mun (Yuan Tong) area.

A man climbed up to the top of the pedestrian bridge connecting the Terminal with Shun Tak Centre and dropped a white banner with black and red fonts.

The wordings were blurred by the news agency possibly due to profanity, as the man accused a Macau company and real estate developer of fraud.

The group League of Social Democrats (LSD) claimed responsibility for this banner that read "We Demand True Universal Suffrage" (「我要真普選」), calling it a "souvenir" for Zhang.

[60][61] Ahead of the annual 1989 June 4 Tienanmen Square Massacre vigil the pro-democracy political party League of Social Democrats once again erected a vertical protest banner calling Hong Kong citizens to remember those who died fighting for democracy under Communist China regime.

On the second anniversary of the Umbrella Movement, League of Social Democrats put up a 6-meter "We Demand Genuine Universal Suffrage" (「我要真普選」) banner at Devil's Peak in Lei Yue Mun.

This black-with-white-font vertical protest banner was put up by Demosisto, a pro-democracy group with which three legislative council election candidates were disqualified by the Hong Kong government.

[87] Reasons to call for her resignation included her interference with Legislative Council Election that ended with multiple young pro-democracy candidates being disqualified, and the alleged illegal constructions and additions to various properties under her name.

Pro-democracy political group League of Social Democrats put out this yellow banner with black font calling Hong Kong voters to "Reject DQ, Let's Vote" (「反DQ齊投票」).

[108] A group called "Shatin Commons" claimed responsibility for hiring a boat on Shing Mun River to showcase their white-font-on-black fabric demanding the government to "Withdraw The Bill" (「撤回惡法」).

[112] This protest was organized by several social worker associations condemning the government's lack of response to the people's demands, causing harm, injuries, arrests, and, indirectly, deaths of Hong Kong citizens.

[114] Trying to increase participation of the general strike on August 5, Sha Tin residents unfurled a series of vertical protest banners throughout the week inside New Town Plaza.

[118] The vertical protest banner seen here appeared to be the "upgraded" version of the same one hung over Admiralty five days ago, showing "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" (「光復香港，時代革命」) with a colorful post-it-memos backed "Lennon Wall" border.

[125] Students from St Paul's College asked a retired Chinese language arts teacher to pen the vertical couplet banners in support of the anti-extradition bill protest while at school.

Several Facebook users took photographs of the banner, black-in-white-font, with Chinese phrase "Drop Riot Charges" (「撤銷暴動控罪」)but news outlets did not report the wordings or the colors.

In addition to the human chain, a 100-ft banner, black fabric with white font that read "Implement Genuine Dual Universal Suffrage" (「實行真雙普選」) was hung over the Lion Rock cliff.

[141] Possibly the same one used on September 22 in Causeway Bay, a yellow "We Long for Glory to Hong Kong" (「我願榮光歸香港」) banner was unfurled from the third floor inside of Pacific Place in Admiralty.

Earlier in the day, four individuals climbed to Lion Rock and unfurled two vertical protest banners in blue fabric and white paint that read "God Kill Communist China; Annihilate The Entire Party" (「天滅中共　全黨死清光」).

[144][145] Not further from Lion Rock, another 40-meter vertical protest banner was hung on Beacon Hill that read "October 1: Celebrate His Mom" (「十一‧賀佢老母」), alluding to the anti-China sentiment Hong Kong citizens felt about the upcoming celebratory Chinese National Day.

[150] With the anti-mask law took effect immediately, citizens also expressed their anger by hanging a black vertical protest banner in Admiralty stated in both Chinese and in English: "Our Gov Is Killing Us" (「殺人政權」)[151]A pair of black vertical protest banners, a couplet, was hung at the main entrance of Hong Kong University accusing the university officials for not speaking up against police brutality, and for not defending Hong Kong freedom.

[153][154] This massive yellow vertical protest banner with black font stated "Citizens' Faces Masked, Carrie Lam's Heart Enshrouded" (「市民蒙面林鄭蒙心」) showed up in Tsim Sha Tsui while concurrently four other districts held mass rallies against Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam's refusal to dialog with the people and the recently passed anti-mask executive order.

[159] From left to right the English translations roughly were: "Never Divide" (「永不分化」), "Never Snitch" (「永不篤灰」), "Never Cut Ties" (「永不割席」), "Withdraw Extradition Bill"「(撤回逃犯條例修訂」), "Release All Protesters" (「釋放所有被補抗爭者」), "Retract June 12 Riot Definition" (「收回六一二暴動定性」), "Enact Genuine Dual Universal Suffrage" (「實行真雙普選」), "Deputize Independent Investigative Committee" (「成立獨立調查委員會」), "Nowhere to Retreat" (「退無可退」), "Never Retreat" (「絕不再退」), "Infinite Police Power" (「警權無限大」), "Hong Kong Got Sold" (「香港被出賣」), "I Would Rather Die Trying Than Live Silently" (「寧鳴而死」「不默而生」), " When Tyranny Is The Reality, Revolution Becomes Our Civic Duty" (「暴政成為事實」「革命就是義務」).

[160] The same yellow vertical protest banner "Citizens' Faces Masked, Carrie Lam's Heart Enshrouded" (「市民蒙面林鄭蒙心」) used on October 19 showed up on Beacon Hill today.
