1st October - the national day of China, we all gathered by the Chinese Embassy to demand electoral reforms, supporting our fellows in HK. The mass movement has swamped the news across the world which is remarkable. How the unrest will be settled I'm not sure. Obama can indeed leverage this opportunity for his own rating.
At the same time, I've come to realise we as hong-kongers have always been an orphan and never given a say to decide our fate, at least our generation. We've been wrapped in a cotton wool under the British rule. Some say the Brits have led us down - have they? I don't think so (well, what more can you expect from Nick Clegg?!). We've just never learnt to be self-sufficient and independent. We don't even get classes at school to be patriotic, that's how we frame singing the Chinese anthem as being brainwashing. Nevertheless, over the last few years, there has been a twist and turn. People took to the streets and struck. Without doubts there will be more frequent movements in the coming days until a deal is signed...

It's been an exhausting week... how I managed that brain-wrecking 9am meeting was a mystery! but am glad I met some interesting people through work!
