I know my post may really step on somebody's nerves. I still decided to add my two cents here because finally in this post I saw some very rare comments from real Hong Kong people who actually reflect on themselves and today's Hong Kong instead of pointing fingers to another group of people, which is so much easier in any difficulties.
Yes, I am from mainland and have only been in Hong Kong for a short time. Also I haven't lived in China for quite some years. So I may be biased, but my opinions may provide a perspective of an outsider.
The point I want to make is: the world has changed and Hong Kong has changed as well, not in a good way. You need to fresh up your mind and get ready to change.
The first thing has puzzled me ever since I got here is: why such hatred toward mainland people? I've lived in many places around the world and Hong Kong is where I got the most discrimination only because I speak Putonghua. Sure I can get my way around easily by speaking English, sometimes too easy (so sad). Why should I hide to be a mainlander as I am proud to be Chinese? And in return I got discrimination everywhere. Believe me, my manner is flawless. Of course we also have warm and friendly people everywhere too and my respect goes to them.
And now in this virtual world where should be full of loving and caring parents who appreciate education and self-respect, I am surprised to see so many narrow-minded comments. You have every right to comment on the behavior of the mainlanders you've seen, but please leave generalization, stereotype and hatred out. As mentioned in some of the posts, you need to face the new challenges by getting prepared, not bashing your competitors.
Where is the Hong Kong it claims to be: the international city in Asia? Where is the confidence and openness to accept all people and cultures? Years ago, the Hong Kong in my mind was an open society rising from challenges with extremely hard-working people. Now, sadly Hong Kong is not getting better, if it's not getting worse both economically and politically. Of course there is a lot to blame and some things we can never change. However, avoiding the big problems and simply pointing fingers will not accomplish anything.
I think everybody who lives in Hong Kong wants to see a Hong Kong in its Tang dynasty, not Qing dynasty. |
