In Hong Kong, the injury of an 18-year-old student, who was shot by a police officer during protests on Oct. 1, has become another reason for Hongkongers to continue their mass demonstrations, now in their 17th consecutive week.
The student, Tsang Chi-kin, attended Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College. He was critically wounded after he was shot in the chest during a scuffle with police in the Tsuen Wan neighborhood. Tsang was shot in his left lung, three centimeters from his heart, according to local media.
