Occupy Central one year on - the key players look back in anger and anguish
A year on from the start of the Occupy protests, some key players reflect on the momentous events that shook the city

On Saturdays, often under a scorching sun, Dr Chan Kin-man meets his allies in Ng Tung Chai to hike to the city's highest peak, Tai Mo Shan.
They are gearing up for the annual Oxfam Trailwalker fundraiser in November. This is the challenge Chan, who has not exercised for more than a decade because of knee injuries, has set for himself after the civil disobedience movement he co-led with student leaders ended a year ago.
The 'umbrella movement' changed the lives of many Hongkongers, even though it failed in its goal to achieve "one person, one vote" when Hong Kong picks its next leader in 2017.
Chan, a Chinese University sociologist, co-founded the Occupy Central movement with University of Hong Kong law professor Benny Tai Yiu-ting and Reverend Chu Yiu-ming.
A year after the mass sit-ins ended, the key organisers have done their share of reflecting on how they could have succeeded, though they still have not sat down together for a thorough review.
Their consensus: there were two turning points that changed the course of events and made them veer off script, but they could not stop the tide.
To Chan, the ending of the Occupy sit-in was almost pre- ordained.
