During negotiations in the early ‘80s about the return of HK to China… “The Unofficials [Hong Kong representatives] were in a peculiarly powerless and paradoxical position. To Beijing, they were nonexistent though sometimes sought for their views, while to Britain they were consulted, then ignored.”
Britain had extremely racist views of HKers. 🤦🏻♀️

“The history of Hong Kong of the last 150 years is quite vague in our consciousness. We don’t have heroes. We don’t have war heroes. We don’t have great statesmen. We don’t have heroic acts. We don’t have that storehouse of myths and legends as Chinese history does. So it’s really a barren rock in a metaphoric sense.” -Playwright Wong Kwok-kui
