00:27After the demolition of Apple and Lai Cheung,
00:29I decided not to be a journalist anymore.
00:32I wanted to tell people the story of Hong Kong.
00:36However, in the past few years,
00:38I have seen that there are still some ambitious businessmen
00:42who are able to reflect the voices of the people
00:46in a very limited space
00:50and are able to make a difference.
00:57This made me feel that I needed to be a journalist again.

01:25I was harassed when I was at Apple Daily
01:27and on and off after it shut down.
01:30I have faced less harassment over the past few years.
01:34During my time at Apple Daily,
01:36they would call my company to find me.
01:38They also called my mobile phone at night.
01:41They called me with their caller ID hidden.
01:44I know other journalists face different types of harassment,
01:47but this is what I've got.

02:00My job was related mostly to visuals.
02:02I still believe that visuals have their way of recording
02:04the changes and differences taking place here,
02:06even if the changes are drastic.
02:08By looking at a certain picture after many years,
02:10you will see the difference.
02:12If I have the chance to stay in this industry,
02:14I still want to record.
