Hong Kong is truly a special place. for historical reasons, colonized by UK, returned to China in 1997 under “one country two systems”.
such a small crowded place with sky high property price, people live in peace, businesses flourish, …
i was 100% “made in HK”. for over half a century, this is my home.
when we were small, most people were not rich. there is a famous “under the Lion Rock” spirit with which everyone worked hard, remained hopeful, positive… study hard, get a good job, improve family finances…
that’s why HK people sometimes considered very money oriented, not very interested politics.
that was until 89.6.4. event in Beijing. 30 years later, HK is still the place where annual vigil is held.
the 97 handover witnessed massive emigration.
personally we were also given a chance to leave for Singapore, but chose to stay. our older generation, who had more first hand experience of what happened under the communist party rule, chose to leave.
22 years past. things still seem ok in general until the very recent proposed amendment of extradition law that raised concerns from all parts of the world, and various types of organisations in HK. something that has never happened before.
religious groups, teacher associations, lawyers, business sector….
more than one million took to the street on 9 June peacefully
then alas, the government decided to press on with the reading.
people seem like to have reached the boiling point. when nothing happened after obeying rules of the games for so long and use every means to voice all concerns / suggestions, violence appears to be the last resort.
of course no one wants to see such a chaotic HK. Most HK people are sensible, loving, caring individuals. when their basic rights are endangered, however, they will certainly stand up to defend their freedom / safety / human rights… and this lovely place they still considered home.
u all can help by sending lovely blessings. thoughts are energies. all good vibes will certainly be received.
Consciousness/ Light shall prevail. It’s only a matter of time and how.
Blessings be to all !!
