Do not throw away your courage; you will receive a great reward for having such a spirit (Hebrews 10:35).

1. It doesn’t matter how much money a person makes, the key is to have good values and do the right things, which is more important than money (Denise Ho).
2. Life does not refer to how long you live in this world. The key is to be able to serve others at all times. This is the real life.

Shelley Shan also has a write up over at The Taipei Times.
And HOCC stayed a lot calmer about this than I would have:
Denise Ho (HOCC)@hoccgoomusic·18h
“I have just been attacked with red paint by a person who was identified as a pro-beijing camp member. Arrived in Taipei to participate in the #929GlobalAntiTotalitarianism protest. This is a serious attack to free speech and we shall not back down in face of these threats.”
By the way, don’t read the comments over at the South China Morning Post link, it will make your blood boil. =(
Joshua Wong, Denise Ho, and Sunny Cheung testify before the United States Congressional-Executive Commission on China, along with Sharon Hom, Executive Director of Human Rights in China (HRIC) and author Dan Garrett. Livestream of the complete testimony on September 17, 2019 in English.

Denise Ho: Resistance in Hong Kong | Hocc 何韻詩| China Uncensored
China Uncensored Published on Jun 5, 2019
Canto-pop star Denise Ho joins us to discuss Beijing's encroachment on Hong Kong's freedom and democracy, and how her activism and appearance at the Umbrella Movement hurt her career in Mainland China.
If you are a westerner interested in knowing how severe and ugly the situation in Hong Kong has become, Denise Ho is tweeting in English and sharing lots of English content. Many of the photos and clips are graphic/disturbing, so be warned.
She’s also consistently interviewed in English/Western media. Here’s a piece from yesterday on BuzzFeedNews: This Hong Kong Pop Star Told Protesters To Stay Strong Against Chinese Scare Tactics
The English language South China Morning Post is constantly updating: https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3022668/riot-police-protesters-clash-unprecedented-violence-hong

Of course, there are MANY other HK-based twitter accounts you can explore, including 周庭 Agnes Chow Ting, she posts in Chinese.
Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 is one of the most prominent activists, and he tweets mostly in English. Joshua & Agnes are 2 of the founders of Demosistō 香港眾志 (twitter)
From Wikipedia: “Demosistō is a pro-democracy organisation advocating self-determination for Hong Kong initially established on 10 April 2016 as a political party.”
Hong Kong Free Press is another English language account for HK/China news.
UPDATE: I don’t know if it’s just me, but Twitter won’t work if I click on a Twitter link from another browser window (I get the message: “Something went wrong.”), but if I paste the link into a new window, it works.
UPDATE: If you are following the news you know that the HK airport is closing intermittently because of the protest; the duo Deer Mx are trying to get out of town and go play some dates in their home country of Mexico. Well, I was wondering about bands that had dates scheduled in HK being able to arrive on time, but leaving on time is also an issue!
何韻詩 DENISE HO HOCC Dear Friend 2016 at HK Coliseum 2CD 可能是史上最團結的紅館演唱會。 2016年,何韻詩回到最初歌手的身份, 重返紅館, 在同樣的舞台上建構一個不一樣的演唱會。 透過史無前例的「集體獨家贊助」,獲得近三百個中小企、社區小店及個體戶單位支持, 成就一個屬於集體的演唱會。 「『平凡的我,從來無一點傳奇』。是這時代,把平凡的我推到一個浪尖,看似肩負了許多人的盼望,但事實是,是你們承托了我對世界的想像。是你們告訴我,相信仁慈,相信善良,相信人,準沒有錯。在最困難之時,回歸本位,做好自己,就對了。」 ── 何韻詩 https://nemb.ly/p/Hyu6oOwPe Happily published via Nembol
