A Chinese-language protest zine created during the 2019 Hong Kong Anti-ELAB movement. It provides practical first-aid guidance for treating tear gas exposure, pepper spray irritation, and common protest-related injuries using accessible household items. With its bright pink and green visual design, the zine shows how protest communities transformed everyday materials and design into a portable tool for survival, mutual care, and rapid knowledge sharing under political pressure.
