00:00I know this is the last night for the memorial. It'll be cleared out by midnight tonight.

00:19I wish it could go on for longer as I believe there are still people who did not have enough

00:24time or the chance to express their feelings. But although, regretfully, there are irresistible

00:32forces, I still wish to have one last chance to share my feelings with everyone.

00:43In my 30 years or more living in Hong Kong, there has never been such tragedy. It's difficult to

00:50say whether we have had enough time for the memorial. We can see that people are coming

00:56here to pay tribute every day. All I can say is that ending this memorial is a pity. I

01:01believe we need more time, but there is nothing we can do.
