After the National People’s Congress announced its decision to “improve” Hong Kong‘s electoral system, Mr. Lee Yi announced that he would stop his current affairs commentary column in Apple Daily, although he said he would continue to write articles, but they would be personal reminiscences. Recently, I have not seen Mr. Lam’s current affairs commentary for some Time, and I wonder if he has also stopped writing.
Hong Kong has fallen so far, what else is there to comment on? If it is useless to say anything, but also to invite trouble and calamity, then the closure of the pen is the inevitable choice.
When I first arrived in your country, I was curious about the capitalist Hong Kong, and I was full of fragments of Mao’s revolutionary ideas. The first thing that enlightened me was the editorial by Jin Yong of Ming Pao, the second was the current commentary by Lin Xingzhi, and the third was the political commentary by Mr. Li Yi in the magazine The Seventies. To this day, I still read their articles and I am always inspired by them.
Hong Kong has been ravaged by the Chinese Communist Party, and the democratic movement has been scattered. The authoritarian regime has imposed a set of barbaric ruling techniques on Hong Kong people. Previously, when the National Security Law was enacted, I still had the wishful thinking that there was still room for maneuvering outside the scope of the law, and as long as we were smart enough not to throw ourselves into the net, we could still resist and maintain our posture of not bowing down.
After the National Security Law, the electoral system was raped again, and the future elections of the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council were “firmly” in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, and the Legislative Council could amend the rules at will, thus nullifying the opposition’s martial power. That is to say, the democrats in the Legislative Council are only vases to decorate the Chinese Communist Party’s “one country, two systems” and to continue to woo and cheat.
I sympathize with Mr. Lee Yee and Mr. Lam Hang Chi’s choice. At this point, it is already a bit of a waste of effort to comment on Hong Kong people and Hong Kong affairs. They are a little older than me, and they have done enough for Hong Kong and for the future of Hong Kong people. If they feel discouraged and put down the pen of political commentary to write what they want to write, it is not wrong and I can fully understand.
As for myself, although I am also old and physically numb, but not as old as they are, I still want to write as much as I can to expose and criticize some phenomena that I can’t see, and the ugliness of some bastards, so I still want to take over their classes.
In the difficult days, let us warm each other, I hope that my words, like a little fire, can warm the hearts of Hong Kong people. No matter where I am, I will always love Hong Kong hopelessly, and I will always be hopelessly united with the people of Hong Kong, and I will do as much as I can until I feel that my pen is too heavy and my body and mind are too tired, just like Li Yi and Mr. Lin Xingzhi.
In the short term, I am very pessimistic about Hong Kong, but in the medium and long term, I have great confidence in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people are different from mainlanders in that we have not been brainwashed for a long time, and the freedom and rule of law we have enjoyed for a hundred years, once lost, are even more painful than never having them, a pain that mainlanders who have never enjoyed freedom cannot understand. With this pain in mind, we will never give in. Even if we cannot speak out for the time being, it is not that our hearts are dead, but that we have to bide our time and try to survive. We have to endure, we have to endure, we have to wait, we have to struggle, we have to survive, we have to fight with the CCP for a long Life.
The Chinese Communist Party is not as strong as they boast, the Anti-Communist camp in democratic countries is taking shape, the Chinese Communist Party is in internal and external difficulties, the future is very difficult, once there is a break, causing an inverted domino reaction, then the world will be turned upside down.
Ceausescu of Romania was a dictator and a murderer. At the time of the “Sudombo”, he once spoke in the square and thousands of people were cheering. Ceausescu retreated indoors in disarray, and within a few days he and his wife were found dead in the wilderness.
History is sometimes full of such dramatic scenes. It was not Ceausescu’s bad life, but his decades of evil deeds and deep-seated public grievances, and it was time for a general reckoning. When the internal and external environment is ripe for change, the world will be turned upside down.
I believe we will see this day. Some friends always say I am too optimistic, but I am not blindly optimistic. We all see the direction of the world trend, and we see all the ills of the society under the Chinese Communist Party.
The truth of God is clear, good and evil are only a process, we are only in the evil forces for the time of the harm. Retribution always comes in due time, only we have to keep the hatred in our hearts, never give up, never give in, never accept!
