On the night of 30 July and 05 August, 2016, Hong Kong National Party have two convocations in Central Government Complex.
They protested that the Hong Kong Government had disqualified Hong Kong's independence candidate, who originally intended to participate in the District Councilor Election.
In the first convocation there were only about 100 participants, and in the second convocation, there were about 1000.
Most of them are students, risking suspension and imprisonment.

The activities were spontaneous because they felt that the freedom of Hong Kong political was assimilated by China unconsciously. After the speech, they accepted the media interview.
A student leader, stood up and spoke loudly against the masses in the dark.
"We want to fight, even if we do not get majority support, but we will not fall."

Hong Kong is a part of China is a recognized fact in the world.
Hong Kong independence maybe just a delusion for the students.
