Last update date: 2020-05-11 06:00There are two good news and one bad news recently: The good news is that Hong Kong has not recorded a local infection case for 21 consecutive days, which proves that the epidemic situation is stable and good; the bad news is that the local economy has deteriorated rapidly, and the first quarter GDP contracted by 8.9% year-on-year in 1974 The worst since record. Many SMEs are struggling to survive, and more wage earners are worried about their jobs. The situation is so severe that everyone is asking: "What should I do?"
The epidemic is a natural disaster, and its occurrence cannot be controlled by manpower, but the management of the epidemic and its "spillover" is manpower-controllable, and improper handling will become a human disaster. Compared with the European and American countries that have not yet gotten rid of the epidemic, Hong Kong ’s response to the epidemic is obviously very good, and this is inseparable from the concerted efforts of the society to stop the spread of the virus. At this moment, responsible politicians and citizens should think about how to consolidate the achievements in the fight against epidemic disease while taking practical measures to avoid further economic downturn. It is a pity that we have seen many stakeholders do the opposite. This is by no means a pleasure for those who love this home!
Worrying about the occurrence of man-made disasters is not without aim. The violent damage caused by the anti-revisionist movement is still lingering, regardless of whether there is a "derailment" phenomenon both inside and outside the parliament. In the Legislative Council, the House Committee has caused widespread controversy because the chairman and deputy chairman have not been elected for more than half a year. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Hong Kong Liaison Office of the State Council for the first time bombarded the National Assembly member Guo Rongkeng who presided over the meeting. This is what Hong Kong society should be alert to. In order to obstruct the legislation of the National Anthem Act, Guo Rongkeng and other Panmin legislators used the opportunity to preside over the election of internal councils to arbitrarily arbitrarily. After the high-profile voices of the "two offices", the Panmin should have come to the cliff and refrain from indulging. Due to unnecessary political operations, it turns out that they are still obsessive.

With Legislative Council Chairman Liang Junyan finally citing external legal opinions to find a way out of the deadlock, the Legislative Council held two consecutive meetings last Friday (May 8), resulting in physical conflicts, and the pan-population also accused the establishment of the system as expected Sending "to seize power", and claiming that the other party would have a more direct way-the re-election of the chairman of the internal conference, Li Huiqiong, withdrew the election-to make the election as soon as possible. In fact, as long as Guo Rongkeng fulfills his duties in the early morning, things will not evolve to such a situation at all. Today, the Panmin, on the one hand, shirks its responsibility to unreasonably obstruct the election, and on the other hand, asks others to give up the right to vote. The logic is really ridiculous.
For a long time, the pan-popular people have been regarded as representatives of "harmony." Many voters hope that the other party can rationally discuss politics and help Hong Kong bring good governance. However, Panmin has misunderstood the situation many times in recent years, especially after the emergence of the "Hong Kong Independence" extreme forces, he gradually lost his position, including recklessly challenging the central principles by acquiring "brute force" to fight, meeting with American politicians, and obstructing the passage of the National Anthem Act. The bottom line, the result attracted the latter to fight back. It can be said that the parliament is gradually moving towards "speculation", and the pan-Chinese people can hardly blame it. Hong Kong should not waste time in political confrontation, but if elected politicians who should have high hopes in society only know how to cater to the populace, obsessed with the "halo" brought by the struggle, and even blindly promote violent destruction, Hong Kong must establish a high level of The culture of deliberation will only last indefinitely.
At the same time, the situation outside parliament is equally worrying. As the dawn of Hong Kong's anti-epidemic showed, some demonstrators were eager to make a comeback during the May Day holiday. The peaceful expression of opinions is of course allowed by law, but last year ’s anti-revisionist storms were vividly visible. Radical protesters were accustomed to hiding behind "harmony" and waiting for trouble to make peaceful demonstrations worse. After the storm last Friday, Mong Kok reappeared in the evening, such as road blockages and other agitated movements, and it became clear that restlessness still permeated society, especially young people.
The above concerns are justified-according to a survey conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Communication and Public Opinion Center in March, 49% of the respondents support large-scale mass movements to fight for claims after the epidemic subsides, among them 15-24 year olds 71% support, and 63% support from 25 to 39 years old. As the first anniversary of the anti-amendment movement approaches, the enthusiasm of the demonstrators may heat up, and peaceful demonstrations risk becoming riots. If the pre-judgment is true, Hong Kong, who has been breathing a little bit after the epidemic slowed down, is bound to fall into a cycle of violent violence that will prevent society from recovering.

Blessing the brave martial arts in disguise
It must be emphasized that since the Anti-Amendment Movement, the trend of "sponsoring speculation" has been increasing day by day, and peaceful demonstrations have gone slanted. They are inextricably linked to the "acquiescence" of "harmony." The level of violence in last year ’s riots is very rare in Hong Kong ’s history, but many “He Lifei” actually refused to part with violence, and some pan-politicians even “understood” young people to fight “in their own way”. Even if you burn a store or throw a petrol bomb, you will be spared. The just movement should not be ugly, but should persuade others with reason. Not only can the riots fail to clarify the issues, but they will disrupt the law and order and create more problems. This is contrary to the demonstrators ’desire to make Hong Kong a better place.
At present, although the local epidemic situation is slowing, its negative effects on the economy have not yet fully emerged. In fact, Hong Kong, as an export-oriented economy, is bound to be hit hard by the epidemic. The aviation industry, the tourism industry, and the catering industry are the first to bear the brunt. The impact must include a large number of ordinary citizens. If the struggle is restarted at this time, economic activities will be difficult to resume. How many wage earners will fall into the economic abyss?
Brave demonstrators should think of the overall well-being of Hong Kong. They should not use the "human disaster" to write off the hard-won results of the epidemic after Hong Kong is about to conquer the epidemic. They should not put themselves in conflict with the police. Among them, because the injured must be myself. As for "He Lifei", they should not think that they are just going out to march. They should also be vigilant that under the current atmosphere, "Helifei" parade may provide "shield" for the radicals and bless violence in disguise.
We have appealed to people from all walks of life more than once to think about how to work together to promote Hong Kong ’s re-departure, and this is inseparable from the public ’s commitment to this homeland. Let's make a metaphor for the recent hot words: the epidemic in many countries in Europe and the United States is uncontrollable. The main reason is that the public lacks the awareness of others and refuses to strictly enforce the family order and wear a mask. In contrast, Hong Kong ’s anti-epidemic performance far outstrips major cities such as New York, London, and Paris, especially Singapore, its main competitor. It relies on 7.5 million citizens, including demonstrators, to exercise self-discipline and be responsible for the overall interests of society, otherwise , I am afraid that Hong Kong has already recurred the tragedy of the 2003 "Saucer". Don't do what you don't want to do. Do not impose on others. Since the citizens know how to be responsible for the health of others, they must also understand that "scramble" will involve others and is irresponsible. Therefore, we must resolutely resist this extreme idea.

It's not too late to recuperate and recuperate before leaving
There are many things that people from all walks of life can do. In the short term, if we want to restore economic activity that has been quiet for a long time, we must say no to the "valorous" signs of resurgence; in the long term, society must consolidate the current hard-won peace and urge the government to face it A series of historically neglected deep-seated structural contradictions, including targeted reforms on issues such as unfavorable rent pressures under real estate hegemony, small and medium-sized enterprises, and wage earners facing disguised exploitation of unpaid leave. If the turmoil is allowed to return, it will inevitably lead to social and economic problems being overshadowed by political struggles, which will eventually make reforms a bad opportunity, and deep-seated structural contradictions will continue to accumulate.
Hong Kong has long since "retreated to the ground" after being hit by the anti-amendment campaign and the epidemic. People with a little conscience understand that they should be rescued, not down. It is not too late to remedy the situation, as long as we recognize the situation, our homeland is not without a future. Earlier, the establishment system established the "Hong Kong Grand Alliance". Many citizens felt that it was "good glue" and believed that it was only a confusing united front tactic. However, the messages brought out by the major alliance include defending "one country, two systems" and refusing "scramble" , Have a positive effect.

How to turn the double strike into an opportunity for Hong Kong to start again is something all citizens should think about. Unjustified Rabbi parliament, street violence, and waving flags for violence are not actions that are responsible for the overall interests of society. Instead, they will continue to ferment emotions and restlessness. Some people who have gone astray think that "fried" can really save Hong Kong. . A truly responsible attitude lies in striving to consolidate the hard-won results of the fight against epidemics, and on this basis to help Hong Kong recover its vitality, thereby creating a favorable environment for the society to promote comprehensive reforms. Only in this way can we declare war on deep-seated structural contradictions and create a favorable space for Hong Kong's redevelopment. This is not only about solving urgent social and economic problems, but also about "disrupting the chaos" for Hong Kong's political operations.
