【反送中】千人哀悼鄔小姐 Thousands Mourn Ms Wu

民間自發在中環愛丁堡廣場舉行的追悼晚會,包括傳統燒香,佛教誦經及燭光悼念。

6月30日鄔小姐在國際金融中心墮樓,有指她性格樂天,曾於6月9日及16日上街遊行,唯對政府的施政及態度感到不滿。

7月6日有千人參加民間自發在中環愛丁堡廣場舉行的追悼晚會,包括傳統燒香,佛教誦經及燭光悼念,表達大家對鄔女士離去的哀傷與懷念。為避免同類悲劇重演,有駐場社工及牧者聆聽大家6月至今壓抑的心聲。

On 30 June, Ms Wu fell from the International Finance Centre (IFC). She had a cheerful character and participated in the march on June 9 and 16 but was dissatisfied with the government’s actions and response.

On 6 July, about a thousand people participated in the memorial service held in Edinburgh Place in Central, including traditional offering of incense, Buddhist chanting and candlelight vigil, expressing the sadness and remembrance for the departure of Ms Wu. In order to avoid the recurrence of similar tragedies, there are social workers and pastors who listen to and counsel repressed feelings of the attendees.
