The SAR government started to match public opinion and prepared to “ban” Apple Daily.
Many people who care about freedom of speech are naturally keen to discuss this. I was asked what I thought of this, and I said: Hong Kong is a common law jurisdiction, and there is a proper rule of law procedure to close a newspaper. But if the Apple executives think the rule of law is dead, instead of being pressured every day, they should take the initiative to disband Apple Daily and end it.
This idea, first of all, has logical reasons: since even the Legislative Council election “perfect”, Hong Kong people think that universal suffrage and true democracy is impossible, so all pan-democrats should not participate in the election, then as a “speculation”, Apple’s own end, is also Hong Kong’s speculation As part of the “speculation”, Apple ended itself and is part of the speculation in Hong Kong.
Many of the people who cursed Apple have become addicted to Apple themselves over the years. In addition to the A-direction news page, which is a negative spiritual food for their survival, they also read financial, entertainment and sidebar magazines for consumption. Apple Daily is more than those two or three pages of politics, long time, which star stealing food, those kinds of stocks and real estate property bullish, the price has room to rise, as well as the dollar and pound speculation foreign exchange, and the horse scripture tips, Apple all aspects have more dynamic than other newspapers to report.
As for whether it is fake news? Gover nineteen virus, once by a country’s foreign ministry spokesman said it was from the United States to Wuhan to participate in the Games military, in addition to Apple, every Chinese newspaper also published, please ask whether it is true or fake news? China says it is true, the U.S. Trump administration says it is false. But if a certain media as the target of political hatred, not only the police commissioner, other print media also teeth itching to get rid of it, then Apple might as well end its own early dissolution.
In addition to logic, there are aesthetic reasons.
If you think Apple is the product of the ugly Hong Kong SAR, then remove this filth, the air in Hong Kong more Singaporefeel, if this is the mainstream public opinion, including the Hong Kong business community and parents education sector, Apple should be disbanded on its own.
But the other school, if you think this newspaper is the temple of freedom of speech, is the embodiment of beauty, then according to Mishima Yukio’s fire Kinkakuji aesthetic realm, all beautiful things, will fade, rather than let it decay on earth, early let her live forever in the memory. Because beauty is the fifth space outside of time.
If this is too deep and long-winded, it is better to explain it in the level of the oral period for better understanding: the Chinese say that there is no unbroken feast in the world, and this is what they mean.
In the Chinese world, only the scholar Professor Shen Xuhui, who has read extensively and comprehensively, agrees with my aesthetic point of view. He has repeatedly quoted from his Patreon website, linking Hong Kong to the Golden Pavilion Temple and expressing his feelings. –Professor Shen’s family has temporarily moved overseas and must have new insightful inspiration.
Because all philosophy begins with logic and ends with aesthetics. Apple disbanding itself is the best ending that is both logical and aesthetic.
