Every teardrop seems to say your dignity

Watch today's news: Citizen groups were disbanded, a group of people were sentenced without trial, and celebrities appeared on CCTV to show their loyalty; but they were not talking about mainland China news, but Hong Kong news, which is really incredible. Since the implementation of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law, such unbelievable things have been staged in Hong Kong every three or five times. It has become the new normal, and I don't know when it will end.

It's really strange that we live in this era. It seems that there are more people talking about patriotism than ever before, but at the same time, there seem to be more separatists of all kinds than ever before. What's the point of this? ? Today, our great motherland has become stronger and richer, which is obviously a picture of prosperity of the rejuvenation of a great nation, but more and more Taiwanese feel that they are not Chinese, and more and more Hong Kong people feel that they are not Chinese. Now, what's the point of this? There are also those celebrities who are either named or have the courage to criticize themselves, only to know that they have become foreigners when they are exposed. Now they say that they are applying to renounce their foreign nationality, are they naturalization of foreigners?

This kind of value and emphasis on nationality does not even conform to the ideology of communism, because communism advocates the union of proletarians all over the world. It's a wonder to be able to integrate far-left communism and far-right nationalist ideas into one self-justification.

I remembered that there was a time when calling oneself a Hong Konger or a Taiwanese was the most common thing, and it would not be automatically interpreted as one or the other. The floods in East China, Hong Kong held a large charity donation party, and Hong Kong people donated generously. A word I often heard at that time was called blood is thicker than water.

In the dispute between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands, the people from Hong Kong and Taiwan are the ones who are at the forefront of the Diaoyu campaign .

It was even recorded in the Hong Kong movie "City of Glass":

At that time, when watching TV dramas, you only needed to pay attention to whether the plot was good or not, and which characters you liked or hated, regardless of the nationality of the actors, their political stance, and whether they had a black history of insulting China. Aunt Qiong Yao doesn't need to stress that she is from Taiwan Province of China, and Mr. Jin Yong doesn't need to post on Weibo that he is a flag bearer.

The largest number of flag guards in Hong Kong was probably in 2008, when Beijing hosted the Olympic Games. It can be felt that the people of Hong Kong were genuinely happy at that time and were sincerely proud of being Chinese.

Unfortunately, 2008 was already the peak, and since then, things have gotten worse.

The conflict between China and Hong Kong is complicated, but the most crucial point is actually the issue of the commitment of one country, two systems. If it is said that there are still people who can defend Beijing in every previous turmoil, then today, the anniversary of the expiration of the National Security Law, looking at the current situation of Hong Kong society, I am afraid that no one can argue that Hong Kong has remained unchanged for 50 years. Bar?

The most patriotic group in Hong Kong is probably the stake . The stake, whose full name is the Hong Kong Citizens Supporting Patriotic and Democratic Movements Federation, was established on May 21, 1989 during the global Chinese parade in Hong Kong in support of the Chinese student movement at that time. After the June 4th Incident, they organized Operation Yellow Bird to rescue the pro-democracy activists from leaving the country, and they have been holding the June 4th candlelight party for 32 years. Party dictatorship and building a democratic China".

The chairman of the stake, Li Zhuoren, personally went north to participate in Operation Oriole. After the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law, he was imprisoned. If patriotism is to love the party, it will be much easier; but he chose to live in the truth, his patriotism is to love the people , which is destined to be a heavy "Bitter Love": "You love the country, but Does the country love you?"

Looking back now, I feel that patriotism was a very strong feeling at that time. To this day, patriotism is still a very strong feeling, but it is completely different from before.

Once, in the land of Hong Kong, anyone could freely express the love in their hearts. Luo Dayou expressed his affection for the city in the final song "Pearl of the Orient" on his 1991 album Queen's Road East. At that time, mainland people loved to sing this song in karaoke, regardless of whether Luo Dayou was a Taiwanese or an American, and they could express their love for Hong Kong in public without fear.

Pearl of the Orient, only if you win, we will not lose.

"Pearl of the Orient"

Lyrics/Music: Luo Dayou Vocals: Li Zongsheng, Chen Shuhua, Zhou Huajian, Pan Yueyun, Doll, Zhao Chuan

The river bends to the south / Flows to the Xiangjiang to have a look / Pearl of the Orient my love / Is your style still romantic?

The harbour with the crooked moon / The night is deep and the lights are shining / The Pearl of the Orient has not slept all night / Keeping the promise of changing seas and fields

Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years / Every teardrop seems to speak of your dignity / Let the tide accompany me to bless you / Please don't forget my face that will never change yellow

The boat bends into the harbor/Looks back at the vast sea/The Pearl of the Orient embraces me/Let me warm your desolate chest

Let's make a little firefly and light each other in the dark.

#you and i want to turn into fireflies

#People who hold salary for everyone can't let them freeze to death in the wind and snow

#They want to bury us but don't know we are seeds

#I hope we have enough courage and wisdom to continue to do something
