The Face
Face of Confrontation
These pictures bring some of the drama and pathos of Hong Kong's months of confrontation into focus. They give some idea of the problems faced by the police who displayed great discipline and tolerance throughout and who dealt with the early disturbances with the minimum of force. They show too, moments of human kindness,
in the midst of violence.
Surrounding this text is the smoke from fire, typical of the many started by hooligans when mobs took to the streets of Kowloon in May. Below are some of the young troublemakers who harrassed the police with stones and bottles. Most pictures in this section were taken by photographers of the Colony's
newspapers.
