Tam Yiu-chung, a member of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress, called upon people from all walks of life to firmly oppose violence.

"If you ask me whether I can leave Hong Kong, my answer is again maybe. That’s because Hong Kong is the city we love and we hate leaving our home behind."
