When someone said "Hong Kong is my home."? If you read the attached article from a columnist Chan Wan, you would realize that very few of us (even among those who actually live in Hong Kong!) can rightfully claim Hong Kong as our home, and that's because many of us view Hong Kong as a "stepping stone" and often fail to recognize what it means to be a citizen. I am definitely guilty on that account...
In the first ever popular vote held in hong kong, 780,000 citizens casted their votes on the issue of universal suffrage for 2017. That’s not a bad turnout considering the fact that this is not sanctioned by the government n it has been maligned by the prochina camp ever since its conception. Truth be told, this is really only a symbolic vote. It carries no mandate except that it might reflect what some hong kong citizens feel about universal suffrage.
Nevertheless, the result of this popular vote points to the fact that Hong Kong people are no longer what they once were. There were times when we were described as politically frigid n non-commital. I am glad to say that at least 780,000 of us choose to be otherwise.

香港要變革,必須認識香港的內外情況。香港平民陷入千古奇冤的困局,這是依照階級、地緣及中美關係而精心佈下的困局。我稱之為香港困局。
香港的困局,是掌握資產、論述力和動員力的中產離地了,無法在本土啟動變革。香港中產在中港交易之中得利,這些交易,包括商貿、金融、專業服務(會計、法律、教育等)和資產增值(大陸人來港買樓租樓)。在無限制的情況下,這些中港業務必會傷害香港的,如果中產是於香港在地安居的話,他們會適可而止,劃定界限。然而,香港的中產並無劃定界限,即是說,他們沒有堅持在中港區隔之下從事中港業務。
這是什麼原因?這是因為中產無心在香港安居。空間擠擁、生活質素下降和本土文化被貶低、英美文化殖民入腦,都令到中產以海外移民為最後歸屬,他們一早在家中講英文,將子女送往外國留學。這叫做離地。中產離地,表示此地缺乏政治抵抗力,令中共及美國可以借助香港,從事剝削大陸勞工與環境及金融套利的骯髒工作,也令到接收香港移民的英語國家可以接收香港的逃逸資產和人才庫存。至於中共,也是離地政權,以向美國輸血來維繫生存。輸血的方式,是購買美國債券,輸出割喉式的廉價工業品,放任外資污染中共水土及破壞勞工健康,還有最直接的輸血,就是權貴階級夾帶私逃,將人才和資金安置在美國。
你讀通了這點,就知道香港的困局,知道必須擺脫英美及中共在香港政壇的代理人,沒有這些代理人的精神洗腦,香港的中產會慢慢醒覺過來,不再離地。你在地,得到的尊嚴和益處更多。而要你在地,也不是說要與中共或英美斷絕來往,而是重新以自己的尊嚴和利益,以我為主,重訂互惠互利的關係。
