Lennon 的詞源

A recurring visual feature of the [Hong Kong] protests has been the so-called Lennon Walls, where people have posted hundreds or even thousands of slogans — mostly on Post-it notes — in public spaces across the city.

Their name comes from a wall in Prague where tributes to John Lennon appeared after the former Beatle’s killing in 1980. It evolved into a place where young Czechs expressed support for democracy and aired grievances against the Communist regime ruling Czechoslovakia.

「連儂牆」是香港抗議活動中的一個常見視覺元素，人們在城市各地的公共場所張貼了數百甚至數千條標語，大多數使用便利貼紙。

這個名字源於布拉格的一堵牆，約翰·列儂在1980年被殺後，人們在那裏悼念他。這堵牆演變成了捷克年輕人表達對民主的支持和對當時統治捷克斯洛伐克的共產主義政權的不滿的場所。[《紐約時報》2019年8月2日]
