Poetic Obituaries: Thousands of Chinese have participated

to honor and commemorate the poet, the Member of Parliament and the democracy activist Szeto Wah who died on January 2, 2011. A large number of Chinese dissidents have been trying to go to Hong Kong to attend the commemoration. But sadly, many have been rejected in the airport, as a direct consequence of China's growing influence in Hong Kong, despite of China's promise of regional autonomy.
