During Hong Kong’s legislative amendment protests (2019-2020), TANG observed glue marks on the streets which is the erased mark of democratic propaganda by the government, he is interested in it and imitated the glue marks to cover up the text of the law document that triggered the protest "Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019". The set of Anti Words《反話語.》is a further action after the government erased citizens’ work, which is based on the revenge performance in graffiti history when the graffiti’s work has been covered.

基於香港修例的抗議期間(2019-2020)，TANG 觀察到街道上政府抹擦民宣之後留下的膠水痕跡，並對此感興趣，透過模仿膠水痕跡來遮蓋引發該抗議事件的法律文件《2019年逃犯及刑事事宜相互法律協助法例(修訂)條例草案》上的文字。 這一系列 Anti Words《反話語.》是政府抹擦公民民宣後的進一步行動，是基於塗鴉歷史上一種當作品被遮蓋後的報復現象。
