HONG KONG — As the student-led protests here roll into their second week, surviving a weekend of attacks and alleged police indifference, a feeling of calm has returned, tinged with uncertainty.
How will this end, and when?
Protest leaders continue to debate how to negotiate with the city government, while the numbers of protesters dwindle to a committed core.
For many, the weekend marked a high-point in the weeklong pro-democracy demonstrations. While the future may be unclear, the #OccupyCentral movement has already left a legacy of remarkable and powerful images testifying to the hopes of the city's younger generation. Here are just a few of the many inspiring examples from the last week.
