| HONG KONG — Growing up, Li Tsz-yin was typical of the young men in this city, his parents say. He played video games and basketball. He spent his mid-20s in Hong Kong's cavernous malls and movie theaters. He loved animals, especially his two cats and the stray cows he would feed in country parks.
Li had his political awakening in 2014, as a participant in the Umbrella Movement. The 79-day street occupation failed in its goal of universal suffrage but inspired a new generation of Hong Kongers to join the democratic movement.
His contribution was to obtain his first-aid certification and when protests broke out again in June 2019, Li was on the front lines treating the injured and dousing with saline the stinging eyes ravaged by tear gas.
“I think he just loves Hong Kong so much,” his father said, speaking on the condition on anonymity to protect his privacy and security. “He wants to fight for justice and democracy in his home.”
