In other words, how the people make their cultural political discourses and statements without the monopoly of social elite? This question can be rephrased as follow in the context of Hong Kong: How the "Hong Kongese" narrating Hong Kong from bottom-up? How "Hong Kong" change from what Abbas (1997) called "disappearance" to Eric MA's (2013) "reappear", and then what this paper argue, "re-making" within the internet? To answer the above questions, this paper take the example of "Gau Wu", the "fluid occupation" in the city started from the later stage of Umbrella Movement.
