I Love Hong Kong

The face of youthful idealism.

She talks about social movement. In any real democracy, there must be a feeling of being alive, of grounds-up initiatives. How to achieve that without creating disorder and chaos is the work of the government who must work harder at engagement. Governments in East Asian societies can no longer bulldoze its way and stifle discontent.

What is youth without idealism and patriotism? I wish there were more young people like her who would care more about their country.

After the umbrella protest, I felt forlorn, I felt that there s nothing i could do, for years. "The feeling of being alive" has left me. I am impressed by their perseverance, the spirit of not giving up, whether they are right or wrong in their actions or comprehension of the situation.

@Sssslm you are right. Young people could be misguided or impulsive. But I prefer that to having no emotion or being indifferent or just caring about their selfish needs. That's what I like about HK- civic and social groups are strong there. And the govt cannot ignore them.
