Umbrella Revolution 2nd Anniversa

The Umbrella Revolution (Chinese: 雨傘革命; Jyutping: Jyu5saan3 gaak3meng6; pinyin: Yǔsǎn gémìng), sometimes used interchangeably with Umbrella Movement (Chinese: 雨傘運動; Jyutping: Jyu5saan3 wan6dung6; pinyin: Yǔsǎn yùndòng), was a series of sit-in street protests that occurred in Hong Kong from 26 September to 15 December 2014.The protests began after the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) came to a decision regarding proposed reforms to the Hong Kong electoral system. The decision was widely seen to be highly restrictive, and tantamount to the Chinese Communist Party's pre-screening of the candidates for the Hong Kong Chief Executive election in 2017 before the candidates are presented to the Hong Kong electorate.
