Chan Ho-him

Hundreds of Chinese University students and staff, some in masks fearing a lingering toxic threat, ­returned on Monday to the campus that was turned into a war zone a fortnight ago by violent clashes between police and protesters.
On November 11, radical demonstrators dropped objects from a bridge at the university onto Tolo Highway and railway tracks beneath, marking the beginning of a five-day occupation of the campus.
Clashes later broke out between the protesters and police, who fired tear gas after they were attacked with petrol bombs, ­arrows and even catapults.
The protesters retreated on November 15.
The Post later learned that more than 8,000 petrol bombs had been found at the campus.
Most of the Sha Tin site reopened on Monday, although some areas that suffered the most intense bombardments of tear gas and petrol bombs were still no-go zones.
Despite the grounds being shut from November 14, some felt it premature for people to return in case there were still traces of chemical irritants and other harmful substances.

The University railway station, which was extensively damaged by hard-core protesters, has been closed since November 12. Ten shuttle buses were arranged for staff to travel from Tai Po Market MTR station to the main campus on Monday morning.
Mr Szeto, 32, a member of staff at the office of student affairs, who was wearing a mask, was among those who believed the campus was “not fit to reopen”.
“I feel that university management has been a bit irresponsible,” he said.
He added reopening the campus was an “inappropriate decision” given results for tests on dioxin residues had not been released yet.
He said he had to leave home from Tin Shui Wai an hour early at 6am on Monday, in a journey that took him about two hours.
Ms Li, 28, who works in administration at the university, said she had prepared her own lunchbox on Monday because she suspected food and water supplies in the canteens might be polluted.




The university said in a statement last Friday that air, water and environment surface samples were being tested and some results were still outstanding, including for dioxins.
That could take up to two weeks. Water test results were likely to be available next week.
Tests for cyanide in the soil were among those that had already come back negative.
Campus clashes as Hong Kong universities become new battleground
University campuses emerged this month as a new battleground between radical protesters and police as part of the ongoing protests sparked in June by the now-withdrawn extradition bill.
Strengthened security measures were introduced at Chinese University last week with staff guarding every entrance of the campus to check the identities of those seeking access.
Students living on-site had been asked to leave the campus after the university ended its first term two weeks early on November 13, in the face of escalating protests and traffic disruption.
Some were allowed to pack their belongings on Monday. They were promised that accommodation fees would be partly refunded.




A first-year science student, surnamed Siu, said her dormitory closed about two weeks ago and she had not returned since. She was packing her belongings on Monday and reflecting on how abruptly term had ended.
“We were still having lessons just a few weeks ago and now everything has stopped,” she said.
“I really didn’t expect politics would affect a university like that, turning the campus into a war zone, and there was nothing I could do.”

A third-year student from mainland China said he had stayed at his home in Shenzhen for the past two weeks, leaving when many of his peers were fleeing amid the clashes.
Tear gas fired on university campuses for first time as students battle police
He had returned to his on-campus hostel on Monday for checkout and said he would immediately return to Shenzhen.
“If I were a first-year student I probably would have dropped out of [Chinese University],” he said, worrying his future job and postgraduate degree applications in the mainland might be affected by the protests.
“I have come here to study, but even lessons are suspended now.”
A student, who was returning a handful of books before leaving, said he was wearing a black mask and disposable raincoat to protect him from “toxic residues”, although he admitted those measures might not be very effective.




At the university’s No 2 bridge – above the Tolo Highway and railway tracks where protesters threw objects to block traffic – the area remained sealed off, while concrete blocks and plastic hoarding was set up on the bridge.

For safety reasons, the university has cordoned off the area, which hosted some of the most violent exchanges of this month’s outbreak of violence on campuses, to everybody except those providing emergency or essential work there.
Many umbrellas, loose bricks, fire extinguishers, as well of dozens of glass bottles likely to have been used as petrol bombs, were still scattered across the area. An unpleasant burning smell still lingered in the air.
Why I volunteered to provide medical support at Chinese University war zone
Over at the Sir Philip Haddon-Cave Sports Field, where radical protesters who had formed a base camp there were tear-gassed, the clean-up was mostly complete.
At the University of Hong Kong, where facilities were vandalised and roadblocks set up by protesters, its Pok Fu Lam campus also reopened last week to staff and students, under stricter security measures in place for access control.
Separately, the Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) announced on Monday that it had postponed this year’s application deadline by a week to December 11, to help those affected by “recent disruptions”.
