Read and Write Coffee Corner Picks: Just when I needed it most, I found this

When the world is becoming more and more chaotic, Hong Kong is no better there. What red code and green code seems to have rushed on the road. Rather than saying that Hong Kong is rapidly becoming a mainland, it is more straightforward to say that Hong Kong has become more and more prison-like. Seeing my friends leaving Hong Kong one by one, I myself cannot do without Hong Kong, regardless of the wishes of my family members, my immigration qualifications, and my own living facilities. I was actually terrified of having to live in a place that felt more and more like a prison.

Whether it was for my own fears or my worries about the future of my now-young niece, I shared these feelings with the universe during my retreat. I remember the retreat I did for the future of my sister. The universe gave me the answer through my mind: "Face life bravely, don't run away, you can help him." Today I do it for my own fears During the retreat, I actually recalled some episodes of a Lu drama many years ago: a wife who suffered domestic violence was broken by her husband. In addition to hiring a maid to look after her, her husband was also monitoring and under house arrest. On the one hand, the wife who was under house arrest worked hard to rehabilitate her legs, and Ling Fang also secretly asked for help. Finally escaped from the clutches. I got another inspiration from it: in the face of a difficult and terrifying environment, I could endure it with wisdom and perseverance.

I found an old news here today, which is a record of a Taiwanese writer Lin Liqing who works as a construction site director .

The article was written in July 2019 against the backdrop of the anti-amendment movement in Hong Kong. The author records that many Hong Kong people have almost run out of gas masks in Taiwan. The author himself has provided Hong Kong friends with the materials needed to resist tear gas. And the last few sentences resonate with me the most, and just like my meditation, they shed more light on how to face the road ahead and find the answer:

"I can send canisters to Hong Kong people, but I can't imagine how heavy the air is to have to self-censor even if the delivery address is tracked? No matter how poisonous the gas can be combined in various ways, but when those Hong Kong groups once The atmosphere of never speaking again after seeing new faces is not something that gas masks and high-grade filters can block.

Looking at the 7502 Daquan configuration in my hand, the address she gave me and the account that was no longer online, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Poison gas can be blocked with a gas mask, but what about the political atmosphere? "

When I finished reading this article, this sentence popped into my mind: The political climate doesn't need to be resisted, it's just right to face it.

The two retreats, plus the article I stumbled upon this time, pointed me to the same answer: for my own future and for the future of my beloved niece, I must bravely face my fears and not run away. , the answer is found, but it is easier said than done. Maybe this is the subject that I can't avoid in my life!
