Walking in the storm: guarding our own Radio Television Hong Kong

The government finally took on RTHK, Leung Ka Wing terminated his contract early and sent a political officer to take over as Director of Broadcasting, and another report came out to fully regulate RTHK.

All these are expected, if not today, it will come tomorrow, sooner or later.

The Chinese Communist Party‘s method of maintaining dictatorial rule, apart from the military, is propaganda. The violent suppression of the army and the brainwashing and Education of the propaganda have been a two-pronged approach to maintain decades of brutal rule. The Communist Party wants to liberate all mankind, but the result of “liberation” is to put heavier shackles on the people, both physically and mentally.

RTHK is administratively untouchable, and the government has the power. RTHK is supported by public money, and where does it come from? The public money comes from taxes, where do taxes come from? Taxes are paid by you and me, so it is not the government that supports RTHK, it is us, the 7 million people of Hong Kong, we are the owners of RTHK, not Lin Zheng, not Qiu Teng Hua, not even the Chinese Communist Party.

Not only do we support RTHK, we also support a bunch of white-eyed wolves like Lin Zheng and Qiu Teng Hua, not only do we support them, but we also support them with high salaries, and then fatten them up, and then let them fix us. But in a system without democracy, there is nothing we can do about it.

Because there is no democracy, we do not have the power to make decisions about RTHK, and we have to put up with Lin Zheng’s “civil and military”, but under the limited conditions, we should be able to fight with the government, not to accept so easily and not to tolerate dumbly.

Within RTHK, of course, I hope that all the staff to hold on, of course, we must adhere to the freedom of the press and editorial independence, these are the basis for the statutory charter. What programs should be done, do what programs, do not pre-censorship, do not speculate on what programs will be appreciated by the government, what programs will cause trouble.

As long as there is news value of the program, let’s do it first, not afraid of out of the ordinary, at most is unable to broadcast, but can not broadcast the program, after all, will not be destroyed, there is a chance to see the day later. Before there is a final decision, we must argue on the basis of reason, insist on the end, if necessary, resort to the public, causing social pressure. Most importantly, do not first speculate on the upper intention, self-restraint.

Secondly, RTHK should be united up and down, to unify their thinking. The government wants to occupy RTHK, must be from top to bottom, slowly changing blood, now comes a political officer, lay leadership insiders, is to replace the vocation of journalists with party spirit, RTHK colleagues should not give an inch, adhere to their own bottom line. As long as unity, we have the power to maneuver with the government, even if in the end may not succeed, but at least less “submissive”, less weak, can not fight to ten points, fight to eight points can, eight points can not fight, then fight for six points, the most important thing is, do not start back to zero.

Externally, RTHK is our RTHK, guarding RTHK is the responsibility of all of us. RTHK has a good program, we have to vigorously promote, RTHK as a government mouthpiece, we have to discuss the whole community. In a word, we must always stand on the side of RTHK staff and the opposite side of the Lam Cheng government. RTHK has the duty to monitor the government’s administration, and fulfilling its duty is its legitimacy. Many people, including the author, are not familiar with the content of the RTHK Charter. Someone who is familiar with the Charter should come forward to give some explanations so that everyone can understand, and if necessary, use their spear to attack their shield.

Most of the newspapers in Hong Kong have fallen into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, and only Apple is left to hold up the situation. We should do everything we can to protect these independent media, expand their room for survival, and give them more support. Some journalists with a conscience have left the harmonized institutions, some have joined the free media, some have started another business, doing self-publishing or small-scale online media, we have to take care of these star fires and keep each other warm.

The penguins in Antarctica will gather in a pile to lean on each other to avoid getting lost and being swallowed by the wind and snow when a heavy snowstorm comes. Our situation is similar to that of the penguins in Antarctica, so we should try to stay close to each other and protect each other. The Chinese Communist Party’s tactic is to attack each other, so we have to fight for every inch of land and not give up every step, and this is how we have to live our lives.

Before he left the company, he wrote a few lines that looked like a poem, but not like a poem. Since “moisten”, and how will “forget”? If you can forget each other, you won’t be able to moisten each other. What do you mean by “no fear of favor or disgrace, no intention to stay or go”? Since “no shock”, it will not be “unintentional”, from the beginning there is no shock, it should stick to their own will. As for “there is no storm and no sunshine”, this is even more confusing, now there is still “no storm”, when will be called a storm? The question is not whether there is a storm, but when the storm is raging, you are walking against the wind, or just go Home to hide.

Hong Kong people’s living environment, has deteriorated to “no eyesight”, but still pretending to be elegant, saying what “no rain or shine”, he can be elegant, RTHK staff how to be elegant?

Thereafter, Hong Kong, is the sky is full of wind and rain, Hong Kong people only have to walk with the wind and rain, wind and rain, determine the direction, never lose the way.
