二、现场活动概况与氛围
冬日公园里的讲台与声音
海德公园当天寒风凛冽，但“演讲者之角”作为自由言说的象征场地，早已聚集了一批坚定的志愿者和参与者。据主办方提供图文资料，志愿者们在树影摇曳、落叶飘零的环境中设置横幅、募捐箱，并数次向群众解释募捐目的与民主理念。
活动现场，组织者依次上台演讲，以中英双语介绍中国当前的政治与人权议题，讲述刘晓波等人权象征人物的故事，并鼓励现场听众思考“自由与发展之间的真正关系”。台下群众有人驻足倾听，有人低声交谈，也有路人举起手机现场录制。
路人反应的多样性
现场许多本是经过海德公园散步的市民对此活动表示好奇。有英国本地居民表示，该类街头活动与伦敦开放社会的传统契合，值得尊重：“这里是自由言论的角落，让人们有机会听到不同声音，这本身就是宝贵的。”也有游客在听取简短讲解后表示愿意捐出少量款项支持倡议。
不过，也有路人对活动内容表现出困惑与疏离，尤其是在涉及较深层中国国内政治话题时，有的现场听众摇头表示“不太理解”，希望有更多背景说明。此外，也有少数围观者批评此类活动“带有政治色彩”，认为街头募捐应更聚焦慈善而非政治主张。

三、媒体视角与报道反响
英国本地媒体
据此前该组织在海德公园“演讲者之角”多次活动吸引媒体关注的经验，有英国媒体如 Artfact Magazine、The London Tribune、Euronews UK 等曾采访组织者并直播片段，捕捉现场对话与辩论场面。
这些报道通常从“言论自由与公民社会”的角度出发，呈现组织者如何与现场公众讨论民主与人权议题。例如，记者提问志愿者如何看待中国经济成就与人权状况之间的讨论，组织者理性回应并引发深思。
社交媒体镜头
现场画面在社交平台同步直播，不少观众在线上留言互动：“在伦敦看到中国人为了自由发声很令人动容”、“这里是不同声音交流的地方”，也有评论质疑募捐是否具有明确透明的资金监管机制等。主办方的社交账号在直播后发布现场图集与短评，与观众进一步互动。
国际声音与对比
虽然当日并未看到主流国际新闻机构发布独立现场报道，但相关民主倡议与人权议题近期持续引发讨论。例如，关于海外民主人士在英国遭遇骚扰与中国政府压力的报道近期引起英媒关注，强调在海外环境下民主活动者的安全与表达自由问题。

四、募捐意义与后续影响
主办方在活动尾声强调，募捐不仅是筹资，更是“让被压制声音发声的机会”，希望通过英国这类开放环境，将中国境内外民主诉求带到世界关注之下。募捐所得将用于后续“人权奖”支持项目，以及更多公众教育与对话活动。
组织者还表示，这类活动将持续举办，让更多不同背景的人群有机会交流观点，共同探讨自由、法治与人权的普世价值。

China Democracy Party UK Headquarters Raises Funds in Hyde Park on 14 December for the Liu Xiaobo Human Rights Award
Hyde Park, London — 14 December 2025
At around 12:30 UK time on 14 December 2025, the China Democracy Party UK Headquarters held a street fundraising event at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, London, under the theme of supporting “the cause of freedom and human rights”. The event took place amid the cold winter wind and damp air, attracting participants from multiple countries, onlookers and the attention of various media outlets.
⸻
I. Background and aims of the event
The China Democracy Party UK Headquarters is an overseas political organisation which has long been advocating in London on issues such as freedom of speech, democratic governance and respect for human rights. Its official website states that the organisation is committed to “building a free, fair and just human rights-based civil society in China” and to actively promoting democratic ideas.
The theme of this event focused on fundraising for the “Liu Xiaobo Human Rights Award” and supporting global democracy initiatives. The aim was to raise funds to reward individuals or groups who have made contributions in the fields of freedom of expression, democratic progress and civic courage, while at the same time raising public awareness of democracy and human rights issues relating to China, both inside and outside the country. Clear information about the fundraising was displayed at the stand, including an explanation of how the funds would be used and the methods by which donations could be made.

II. Overview and atmosphere of the event on site
A platform and voices in a winter park
Despite the biting wind in the park that day, Speakers’ Corner, as a symbolic venue for free expression, had already gathered a group of committed volunteers and participants. According to photos and materials provided by the organisers, volunteers set up banners and donation boxes among the swaying trees and falling leaves, and repeatedly explained to the public the purpose of the fundraising and the democratic ideas behind it.
At the scene, the organisers took turns to speak, using both Chinese and English to introduce current political and human rights issues in China, to tell the stories of Liu Xiaobo and other symbolic figures of human rights, and to encourage the audience to reflect on “the true relationship between freedom and development”. Among the crowd, some stopped to listen, some whispered to one another, and some passers-by held up their phones to record the event.
The diversity of reactions from passers-by
Many people who had originally just come to Hyde Park for a walk expressed curiosity about the event. Some local British residents commented that such street activities are in keeping with London’s tradition as an open society and deserve respect: “This is a corner for free speech, giving people a chance to hear different voices – that in itself is valuable.” Some tourists, after listening to a brief explanation, said they were willing to donate a small amount to support the initiative.
However, there were also passers-by who felt puzzled or distant in relation to the content of the event. In particular, when it came to more in-depth discussion of domestic politics in China, some in the audience shook their heads and said they “didn’t really understand” and hoped for more background information. In addition, a small number of onlookers criticised such events as being “politically tinged”, arguing that street fundraising should focus more on charity than on political advocacy.

III. Media perspectives and reporting response
British media
Based on previous occasions when the organisation’s activities at Speakers’ Corner have attracted media attention, British outlets such as Artfact Magazine, The London Tribune and Euronews UK have interviewed the organisers and livestreamed segments, capturing scenes of on-site dialogue and debate.
These reports have generally approached matters from the perspective of “freedom of speech and civil society”, showing how organisers discuss democracy and human rights issues with members of the public. For example, journalists have asked volunteers how they view the debate between China’s economic achievements and its human rights situation, to which the organisers have responded in a reasoned way that has prompted deeper reflection.
Social media coverage
Footage from the event was broadcast live on social media platforms, where many online viewers left comments such as: “It’s very moving to see Chinese people speaking out for freedom in London,” and “This is a place for different voices to engage with each other.” There were also comments questioning whether the fundraising had a clear and transparent mechanism for monitoring the use of funds. After the livestream, the organisers’ social media accounts posted photo galleries and short commentaries from the event to further engage with the audience.
International voices and comparisons
Although no independent on-site reports from major international news organisations were seen on the day, related democratic initiatives and human rights issues have continued to feature in recent discussions. For example, reports about overseas democracy activists in the UK facing harassment and pressure from the Chinese government have recently drawn the attention of British media, highlighting the safety and freedom of expression concerns faced by democracy advocates abroad.

IV. Significance of the fundraising and its subsequent impact
At the end of the event, the organisers stressed that fundraising is not only about collecting money, but also about “giving a voice to those who are being silenced”. They hope that by making use of open environments such as the UK, they can bring democratic demands from inside and outside China to the attention of the wider world. The funds raised will be used for subsequent projects in support of the Human Rights Award, as well as for further public education and dialogue activities.
The organisers also stated that such events will continue to be held, so that people from different backgrounds can have opportunities to exchange views and jointly explore the universal values of freedom, the rule of law and human rights.
