A long-term resident and expert observer of dissent in Hong Kong
takes readers to the frontlines of Hong Kong's revolution. Through
the long, hot summer of 2019, Hong Kong burned. Anti-government
protests, sparked by a government proposal to introduce a
controversial extradition law, grew into a pro-democracy movement
that engulfed the city for months. Protesters fought street battles
with police, and the unrest brought the People's Liberation Army to
the doorstep of Hong Kong. Driven primarily by youth protesters
with their 'Be water!' philosophy, borrowed from hometown hero
Bruce Lee, this leaderless, technology-driven protest movement
defied a global superpower and changed Hong Kong, perhaps forever.
In City on Fire, Antony Dapiran provides the first detailed
analysis of the protests, and reveals the protesters' unique
tactics. He explains how the movement fits into the city's long
history of dissent, examines the cultural aspects of the movement,
and looks at what the protests will mean for the future of Hong
Kong, China, and China's place in the world. City on Fire will be
seen as the definitive account of an historic upheaval.
