Whether it is the new crown virus epidemic since 2019 or the extreme weather phenomena that have occurred one after another in recent months, in the face of various natural and ecological disasters, there is no barrier between regions and countries, and only concerted efforts can continue to coexist.
However, in the face of the heavy rains in Henan last week and the floods in Germany last week, some people in Hong Kong have an out-of-the-way mentality. They are not only indifferent to foreign disasters, but even mocking the terrible situation in China.
It is undeniable that from the performance of urban water control and the management of natural disasters, Hong Kong is indeed remarkable, and it is not yet facing urgent threats; however, when natural resources are over-exploited, ecosystems are out of balance, and extreme disasters occur frequently, There is really no reason for Hong Kong to sit on the sidelines and relax its vigilance, and there is no reason to choose to conceal the most basic compassion because of the hatred triggered by political issues.
