Last updated: 2019-11-20 22:07On Tuesday (19th) afternoon, the police announced at the press conference that 3,900 petrol bombs were found on the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It was more visually described as "disposing one every ten seconds and losing eleven clocks." In addition to petrol bombs, a large number of weapons such as bows and arrows and homemade catapults were found on campus. Such a huge number of weapons is like an "arsenal." As we all know, the motto of Zhongda University is a "communication ceremony". When we sympathize with the young people who pursue social justice, we must also recognize that the violent means used by the radicals involved in the struggle pose a great threat to public safety. Occupy the school's mission, the mission of Xin Xuezi, who is both morally and decently opposed. Everyone must be responsible for his actions. He cannot be fortunate enough to think that committing serious crimes can still go unpunished. Learning this is also part of the growth of young people.
The number of 3,900 petrol bombs is enough to shock a civilized society. It is definitely not saying that "they are just young people" can get rid of it. These weapons can be used to attack the police. They can also be used against people with different opinions, destruction or arson. What is more serious is that they will develop a "brave force" mentality and even inflate some extreme imaginations. During the "occupation" period, Some people advocate that "the country can be independent." These acts are not worthy of my beautification. They are extremely dangerous and will inevitably cause serious consequences. Afterwards, I can only hope that no one will go further.
Too many people cheaply throw a phrase "they are still young", turning a blind eye to the bad psychology and behavior of violent demonstrators, and letting them ignore them. The "01 point of view" has long been reminded that the constant connivance of violent demonstrators will eventually make their path of breaking the law farther and farther, and the result will harm them. No matter how much you care for your children, you should "be it right and wrong"; just like seeing a donkey climb a well, is it safe to let him fall into the well?
The police said that Zhongda had seized 3,900 petrol bombs.
The case of Zhongda is already a warning, and the conflict of PolyU is a living example. Needless to say, violent demonstrations have been developed so far, and some people have made a big mistake and cannot be held responsible for the actions they have done. Young is definitely not an excuse to evade responsibility. Just as the Chief of Police of the Public Relations Division of the Police, Mr. Kwok Ka-wai, said at a press conference on Tuesday, "A petrol bomb is dropped from the age of 15 and 25, and the lethality is nothing. respectively". Learning to face mistakes and taking responsibility is a process of growth. Forever, luck can only escape and shirk responsibility. In the end, it is likely to become a "giant baby."
It is precisely because young people are the main body of this social conflict, many of them are engaged in sports by changing the society and creating a "bright future" for themselves, only to win the sympathy of the majority of the society, but also as the CUHK. The three school-study colleges, the new school and the Chongji, and the Yifu Academy, which were founded in the 1980s, have their own trainings: "Mingde Xinmin", "Sincereness", "Stop at Good", and "School Lecture". We do not ask students for moral requirements, so we hope that society, teachers, and parents can teach them to learn to take responsibility instead of escaping. Of course, how to balance the law and the situation is also a problem that every society constantly faces. Rehabilitation is also a value and goal that is more valued in the punishment system of modern civilized society. If you commit a serious crime, it is difficult to escape the criminal responsibility you deserve. In the process of rehabilitating, and strive to re-invest in society as soon as possible.
The law and the feelings, the sympathy and the lessons are not easy to handle. But no matter what position we are, we should not be overwhelmed by politics or hatred. We should play the role of "harmony and rationality" to deal with the problem. "Peace, rationality, non-violence" is the "universal" principle that is universal in any political spectrum. Recently, the social elite who went to PolyU to help young people stay in peace and peace has played a good role in the "harmony and non-rationalism" of the political standpoint and proved its important strength in solving the current dilemma of Hong Kong.
On Monday (18th), the three-way "and Lifei" people respectively rushed to ease the situation of PolyU. It was learned that many middle school principals who were trapped in the University of Science and Technology, under the leadership of Legislative Council member Ye Jianyuan, began discussions with the police on how to rescue these students. Many of the middle school principals may have come from different political positions, but they only want to keep students safe and avoid the worst bloodshed. On the other hand, Lin Dahui, Chairman of the PolyU Board of Trustees, also discussed with the police and resolved the issue more peacefully. Former Legislative Council Chairman Zeng Yucheng and Hong Kong University legal scholar Zhang Daming and others also received help and then set off for rescue. They walked side by side with more people who were behind the support, and played a true "harmony" spirit, gradually defusing a crisis that worried the public.

According to the on-site news, many students at PolyU were at a loss, desperate, and even crying. When they were lobbied, some people stopped and some people refused. These scenes are sad, and fortunately, the action was not in vain, and hundreds of left-behind people accepted the arrangement and left PolyU. These people are told that they will be arrested on the spot or may face the risk of arrest in the future. They are willing to leave. On the one hand, they are worried about their personal safety. On the other hand, they also say that they are no longer lucky to choose to escape. . The "harmony" of different positions in the community should also be understood from this matter, and the importance of using social power to exercise social responsibility.
