Love


It may be coincidental to talk about extracurricular activity today.

Many of you would know I am rather apathetic to local politics. Nonetheless, it is amazing to learn that a slogan as neutral as Love our country, love our people (愛國愛民) could become a target of debate - and it is really eye-opening to see this simple motto has to be put aside in order not to offend the others.

As the old English proverb says: If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything.

And my opinion is naive: I love my country.

I believe the people whom we pay tribute to today were holding the same belief during that exceptionally long May.
