She said she's been arrested 4 times in her life, but she felt the most afraid this time. She thanked her supporters for creating hashtags, rallying on social media. Reporter asked her to say something in Japanese, she asked around, "Anything Cantonese, English questions left?"

FB update: “I am Agnes, I am back. Sorry for making you all worry. I’ve been arrested 4 times, this is the most terrifying. But even at the station I can still feel your love and concern from what my lawyer shared. Thank you. The road ahead is tough, let’s be careful, take care.” pic.twitter.com/ZLiXVRfn86

The idea of Agnes Chow as the true Mulan is showing up in all sorts of ways (in varied languages and Tweets from varied places) on the Internet (see this image pic.twitter.com/JgY3TX6Vz4 ); the latest in a string of fascinating Hong Kong meets Hollywood protest angles https://t.co/FfvIac9Wx4

Note on Agnes Chow; I first wrote about her in 2016 for @LAReviewofBooks after being impressed by a video she made about the disappearing booksellers https://t.co/9ukuzJX7ZF & led w/comments on her in a 2017 @TheTLS review of @benjaminbland's Generation HK https://t.co/Q8PdLXpc6K pic.twitter.com/rRHiJRcnWx

While Liu is loyal to the authoritarian Communist China to suppress the brave & true people, Agnes is loyal to her conscience & being one of those brave & true people. Isn’t it obvious that who deserves to be called as the “loyal brave true” Mulan?#FreeAgnes
