A humble loaf of bread has become a new symbol for Hong Kong's pro-democracy
protesters who have embraced a slew of colourful and sometimes surreal memes as they push the Beijing-backed government for reforms.
Activists have begun bringing loaves of "Life Bread" -- a local brand beloved by Hong Kongers -- to demonstrations, or leaving them next to protest walls after a video of a
police officer taunting protesters went viral.
The footage was shot last week during a siege by police of Polytechnic University where a tense stand-off unfolded between riot officers and hundreds of activists who barricaded themselves inside.
