Alvin Cheng Kam-mun (Chinese: 鄭錦滿, born in 23 June 1988), also known as "4 Eyes Brother" (Chinese: 四眼哥哥), is a Hong Kong student activist and has been active since 2014. He formerly studied at Queensland University of Technology, and organized a rally with his schoolmate and Nardo Wai in support for the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement during 2014 G20 Brisbane summit. His political opinion is using violence to fight against the police force. He is well known for participating in the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement and establishing the student activism organization "Student Front".
On 22 September 2014, when the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement started, Alvin, who was studying in Queensland University of Technology, saw the news that student protesters had been arrested in Hong Kong. He then went back to Hong Kong to participate in the protest.
Early in November 2014, Alvin went back to Brisbane to plan for a rally against China during G20 Brisbane summit.
On 16 November 2014, Alvin and Nardo Wai started their 4-hour rally in support for the Umbrella Movement on the lawn near the South Bank Parkland Suncorp Piazza outside the G20 summit venue. Numerous oversea students from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China participated in the rally. After organizing the rally, Alvin went back to Hong Kong again to continuously participate in the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement.
On 6 December 2014, Alvin established "Student Front", a student activism organization, to fight against the "stage power" and keep staying in the front line after the Hong Kong Federation of Students and Scholarism quit from the protests. He was arrested on suspicion of attending and inciting others to take part in an illegal assembly. He wrote an article that indicated he was arrested on 26 December 2014 and failed to be bailed. After the Umbrella Movement, Alvin continued participating in numerous social activities, such as Gau Wu and the movement against parallel trading. He was arrested on several occasions and found it difficult to be bailed. He was then banned from entering Mong Kok by a court order.
