My apologies. Someone later on in the thread gave me an update on the educational language changes and it is indeed absurd.
That said, as a member of the HK diaspora, whenever someone complains about culture it often ends up being a nativist argument against immigrants. To hear someone from HK bring that up, especially against a population we are similar to, is a bit hard to take.
- spacehunt 10y agoNo need to apologise -- as my parents are still overseas I totally understand, how things are happening far more quickly (and in a more absurd direction) than overseas HKers ever imagine. That said, I don't have anything against mainland Chinese people -- I have worked with them, became friends with them. Yet, it is through extensive interactions with them that have made me realise how different we are, not just in languages or food but in how we think. That's the essence of what we are trying to preserve, and what the PRC is trying to eradicate.
