Open lecture witrh Professor Ming-sho Ho, National Taiwan UniversityThis lecture will present the speaker’s book on Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement of 2019–2020, commonly known as the Be Water Revolution. The book proposes an agency-based explanation for how this unexpectedly prolonged and disruptive protest movement operated without centralized leadership. Triggered by a series of moral shocks, perceived threats, and reflections on past failures, collective improvisation emerged as a key mechanism. Driven by widespread peer production, this process enabled tactical innovation. The lecture will also explore how decentralized participation fostered creative cultural expressions, energized overseas diaspora communities, and sustained resistance against the police state enforced under the national security law.
