Joshua C.F. Wong, after being arrested on 26
September 2014 and retained for 46 hours by HK Police
Force, had stood up again on 29 September.

He, an 18-year-old student, was said to be the one who
started the greatest protest of all time in Hong Kong
history, namely "Umbrella Revolution", where crucial
districts of the city were occupied by protesters for 81
days. Being one of the key person influencing the pro-
democracy campaigns in HK, he was voted the 3rd
place on "Person of the Year 2014" of Time Magazine
and was later named as the "Young Person of the Year
2014" by The Times.
