Just at at 9:18pm(Peking time) today(Sep, 16th), I was on the way when passing the Japan Consulate General of our local Canton.
I was shocked by the scene. (As I caculate simply guess), there are still about 2,000 policemen surrounding and locating around the whole location of Japan Consulate General - Garden hotel, including the anting-riot police with shield.
There havenot been seen those protesters. But they are still at there. I took some pictures. When I was taking, they were leaving too. About at 9:40, I saw those who are locating far over about 300-400 metres away have left totally.
This makes me think that in this morning, I have got the news from a bus terminal of No.1 bus, they said that, "All passengers please notice, for the zhongshan(Sun Yat-sen) road passing Canton Martyrs' Cemetery has been closed, please use the subway." On the way, I really noticed that all the bus passing there designed have used the other way.
As the latest news report, this morning, some people broke the glass of the 1st floor of Garden hotel, and rushed into then destroied a Japanese Resturant locating at the 2nd floor. Police following arrested some. As someone said, the protesters are over 10 thousands at the peak.
Today, I darenot to go to the scene. Because I have saw police have set the iron-block barriers in front of the square of Canton Martyrs' Cemetery and zhonghua Plaza front square had been set that and surround yesterday, it couldnot be used to sit there to protest, I think. 3
My mother told me today, what she had saw, when she go to see the doctor for her some pain on the way. 1st, She could see some youth walked on the way, red big lags in several's hands, some with small flags and shaking. When walking, they just shout a very simple sentence, some shouted"Diaoyu island, " then others followed"China owning". 2nd, she heard 1 couple's talking, boy"I heard the glass of the of Garden hotel have been destroied by some throwing objects", the girl"I havenot been to there, if I were there, I would rush and break some glass..." 3rdly, some middle age people complained, "Those protesters are making some troubles for our bus waiting, making some troubles for our plans..."
On our building, 1 cleaning aunt said, "All this was caused by Japan(government)...".
...
Now, there are still 1- just a few policemen's group and 1-a small group of normal-wearing people(what they are talking about, are they secrect policemen) group still stand outside the road around the Garden hotel. Now, the clock is showing the time 10:35pm.
