A starting point will be Shanghai protests and counter-protests during the Civil War era (1945-1949), while an end point will be the Hong Kong events of the last year, which the presenter briefly observed firsthand. Some attention will also be paid to events in between, from the Shanghai protests of 1986, which once again the presenter observed directly, to the Hong Kong demonstrations of 2012.
