Website in the works to display protesters' notes from 'Lennon Wall'

Its days may be numbered, but the "Lennon Wall" on Harcourt Road, Admiralty - a rainbow collage of colourful notes supporting the democracy protests - is being preserved digitally.

Wall creator Lee Shuk-ching, who has spent much of her time in recent days putting notes up and handing out pens, is working with co-creator Chow Chi, a social worker, and others to take pictures of the notes with a view to putting them online.

"Now that police have cleared Mong Kok, I am worried they will come and destroy the wall in the night," Lee said yesterday.

"To me, the wall is a very important platform for ordinary protesters to express their views directly," the social work student said. "They don't have the bargaining power like the student leaders. What they can do is write their thoughts down, and so this wall represents our diversity."

The project started on October 1, three days after police tried to disperse protesters by firing tear gas. Lee and other protesters brought stationery and Post-it memo sheets to the area and encouraged people to write down their thoughts. A banner on the wall said, "Why we are here".
