Smoking Gun A gun enthusiast mail orders bullets from the USA, but one of them falls out of the package during transit, alarming an airport staff member. The police identify the buyer and find an arsenal of 32 firearms and more than 9,100 bullets in his Wong Tai Sin apartment. The police suspect him of being involved in firearms trafficking, and of using his day job as a manager at the Yoshinoya restaurant chain as a cover to receive mail-order weapons.

Village People During the annual July 1 march, around 100 villagers from Kwu Tung and Fanling—whose homes will be torn down and redeveloped into new towns under the government’s development plan—give out 1,000 bottles of free Chinese herbal tea and watermelon slices to the marchers. Another farmer distributes 100 catties of lychees to protestors. They each hold a banana leaf, freshly harvested that morning, to identify themselves as villagers.
