Hong Kong ¨C As public libraries in Hong Kong remove books and documentaries about the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, a race to preserve them somewhere else continues.
Leung Kai Chi, a Hong Kong-born professor who is now a visiting scholar at National Taiwan University, said he is still collecting books related to Hong Kong society and sending them to public university libraries in Taiwan, according to a post he made on Facebook following the news of the removal of sensitive materials in public libraries.
¡°If someone is willing to donate books that libraries in Taiwan do not have in stock, I will be happy to act as an intermediary to coordinate the process,¡± Leung said, adding that several books about the aftermath of the Umbrella Movement ¡ª a widespread protest in Hong Kong in 2014 demanding universal suffrage ¡ª have been relocated to a library at National Taiwan University.
