Hong Kong youth groups reject to march the PLA way

Subscribe to our KZbin channel here: sc.mp/2kAfuvJ
China’s Liaison Office in Hong Kong recently asked 14 military-style youth groups to abandon British foot drills and instead adopt those used by the People’s Liberation Army. But, at a flag-raising ceremony on May 4, only one of the groups complied with the request.

[@RickyPlayingGames]

I love how people are saying that people were treated so poorly under british administration. People in Hong Kong lived far longer than mainland Chinese due to not having to endure Mao's collectivist policies. And when HK was handed back to China most people with money, education, or democratic values moved to other parts of the commonwealth. Like in canada there is a massive HK population due to the mass exodus of people fleeing the PRC.

[@ComedyLoverGirl]

You're ignoring the fact that Chinese people lived much worse lives in the late Qing and ROC eras; this is the reason why the PRC was formed in the first place. It took time to lift the massive country out of poverty. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, though they became wealthy due to being a financial "front office" to connect the western world to China, the people of Hong Kong were never allowed any political agency. Every governor was British, courts were British, documents were in English and Chinese people were marginalised, with rampant crime and tens of thousands lived in slums. There was no freedom of press and attempts at decolonisation were violently crushed (just look up the 1967 protests - 51 dead and over 1000 arrested in a week). I would rather have my own country that has agency, even if it is slow growth, than to be a servant to a wealthy master who tosses me a bone now and then.

This year, I participated in the same event showed in the video. The scout association chose us to represent scout to march on a ceremony that happened on May 4th. They requested our group to march in Chinese style, instead of British Style which is the old and normal way. We had to adapt and completely learn how to march in that way, in the span of 3 weeks. The biggest difference between the 2 types of marching is definitely the way our legs move. For British marching, it feels more formal, where as for Chinese Marching, it feels more like walking, but is definitely still coordinated.

Political discussions aside, the British marching style looks silly. Look all those youngs marching. . . seems a excursion of goofys walking in a park.

[@lakenneth374]

China marching looks like the "Goose Stepping" marching, which is very unnatural - legs are straight and kick high out in front of you - no bending of the knee.

[@giovane3208]

@@lakenneth374 I agree that goose step seems unnatural, yet the stiffness of gait gives soldiers an appearance of power, which the British gait style lacks. Marching in modern military parades must demonstrate synchronicity and strength, not naturalness. By the way, the Britsh marching style has an unnatural and accentuated swing of the arms. Anyway, it's a matter of taste.

[@AmphiStuG]

It looks like they did the quick-march a bit faster than it's usually practiced, combined that with the fact they're just kids it didn't turn out well, I'd doubt the PLA march would look better though with how unnatural the gate is. A slow march would've probably made it easier for them to look professional.
