Thank You For Taking Us Back

Woo-hoo, woo-hoo! July 1st, the day of Hong Kong’s rebirth! I think it’s so kind of the mainland to accept us back in the fold after all the horrible things we have said and done during our years as running dogs of capitalism.

Above is a photo from last year’s demonstration? 示威 (si wai, show strength) or parade? 列隊行進 (lit deui haan jeun, row line walk forward)

The posters we were holding said, among other things: 打倒簡體字,(da dou gan tai tsi, Down With Simplified Characters) and we got some great reactions (ended up in Apple Daily, woot woot) – mostly “Do you know what it says on the poster?” “Er, yes, I wrote it.” “Yes, but do you know what it says?”

Happy rebirthday, Hong Kong! Me, I love the mainland very, very much. I just don’t want its language and way of writing here.
