0:51Now Playing60-year-old Doris Lee is handing out posters designed by an American cartoonist to support the young people of the Hong Kong protests. The cartoonist named "Tai Hung" makes 1 poster every week to support young protesters.
Lee says the "unreasonable" Hong Kong government is why she and other seniors have come out to show their support. She's heartbroken.
Hong Kong's despair runs deeper than protests. Tensions have heightened after weeks of demonstrations.
Her concerns underscore the challenges facing Hong Kong's government and its backers in Beijing as they try to quell the former British colony's worst political crisis since the 1997 handover. While the demonstrations began as a fight over a controversial extradition bill, they’ve morphed into an expression of deeper anxieties that have the potential to linger indefinitely.
