On Monday 29th September 2014, students singing songs as part of a pro-democracy sit-in known as "Occupy Central", blocking traffic on Yee Wo Street, an otherwise busy multi-lane thoroughfare in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.

The protestors also seek the resignation of Hong Kong's current chief executive, Leung.
