My father was born in 1954 in HK, he told me amazing stories of when he was a kid playing in Kowloon and seeing Bruce Lee walking past him. I am born in 1998 in the Benelux of Europe and every time I visit Hong Kong I try to imagine how it was for my father to grow up there, this video almost brought me to tears, Hong Kong used to be so relaxed and less fast-paced. However, I still love the city and will always visit my roots.

Wow yes , I always wonder whyyy I feel a connection to Hong Kong when I wasn’t even born there. But at home my parents would talk about Hong Kong a lot. It sounded like a very vibrant place to live in with its food, entertainment industry, billionaires, social gatherings ie mahjong. It’s a shame the politics have changed the mental wellbeing of the citizens. Because of this I no longer want to be associated to Hong Kong. I feel so bad it’s so different and gloomy

If there wasn't starvation at all before Mao's rule in China, how could Mao get millions Chinese to join his army, overthrow KMT Government and take power in 1949? Besides, Mao ruled China 26 years. Only 3 years, from 1960 to 1963, there was a starvation, because China had to repay the debts which China borrowed from Soviet for Korean War and industrialization then, or bowed to Nikita and became a satellite country of Soviet. If Trump was the King of America and he decided to repay all US national debts within 3 years but not left the debt to his successors, what would happen to Americans? Mao used to use radical approach to achieve his goal.But you can not deny that the long-term effects of most of his decision are generally positive. For example, in 1960-1963, there were thousands of Chinese mainlanders fled to HK for seeking better life. But decades later, most of these guys and their descendants still live in HK's cage home meanwhile most of their former neighbor villagers who remain in mainland have better life than them nowadays.

Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s was only beautiful at its face value. I lived in HK from 1966 to 1979, life was a struggle in my youth and teenage years. The place was so full of crimes and corruption. The opportunities of getting higher education passed secondary school was scarce and highly competitive. I was one of the many who did not make it but I was lucky enough to be able to have further education in North America. I only visit HK once in many years and my visits turned out much more enjoyable than when I was living there because I was going back as a tourist to spend my vacation.
