B: Nah, just the usual stuff. What's up?
A: You know about that tragic fire in Hong Kong last month, right? Well, guess what's happening now?
B: Uh, they're removing the condolence message board there? Is that right?
A: Yep! They're taking it down on Sunday. Remember where it was? Park near the high-rise complex, right? It's been a place for people to express their sympathy after the fire.
B: Oh wow, I can't believe it. So many messages demanding justice and criticizing the government response...
A: Yeah, exactly! The volunteers running the location decided they had to remove it by Sunday. They wanted to avoid any content that might upset the authorities.
B: That makes sense. Too bad some people are sad about it being taken down, ten days after the fire.
A: Totally understandable. One woman in her 20s said the messages were a way for many Hong Kong people to show their support and help those affected by the disaster heal.
B: Makes me feel a bit emotional just thinking about it... I hope they find peace soon.
