【明報專訊】Yesterday (October 1) people on the mainland enjoyed festivities in perfect "harmony" as they celebrated the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the People's Republic of China. Our city, however, witnessed its most chaotic day in half a century. Violence exploded everywhere and left many areas deserted. In an unprecedented move, the MTR Corporation closed half of its stations. In Yau Ma Tei, some policemen's faces were covered with blood after being beaten up by protesters. In Tsuen Wan, a radical protester was shot with a live round and rushed to hospital. He was still in a critical condition after receiving emergency treatment. A death caused with a bullet accidentally fired, which people fear most, has almost happened.
