Open letter from Hong Konger to the free world:
When the eyes of the world were on Hong Kong 22 years ago, barely anyone of us could have ever expected this. The free world, particularly us, were convinced that China would keep its promises of an UN registered treaty with Britain. We were indeed worried about our sovereignty being handed over to a totalitarian state but we had very little help, or power to save ourselves from a monstrous regime. International attentions are only hope to defend our liberty in a total-ideological war, fuelled by Leninism which we thought it was dead in 1991, mobilising racial-nationalist state machine.
We are no longer the same ever since. We changed, but not in an aggressive or invasive way. Since we realised the desire of keeping the promises vanished, we decided to give up our stable, comfortable lives and take it to the street. We tried with every effort to resolve the differences in a peaceful, reasonable way, unfortunately it has been in vain. It was the doctrine that suggest might is right and despise the value of democracy and liberty that we all cherished. As Hong Kong remain standing, we will defend it with our lives. However, we do not how much time we have got as the erosion of the system supposed to protect our vales increasing deepen by day. Hong Kong as the frontier of the free market economy, cannot afford to lose the battle. This is not only our battle, but also the free world.
The ultimate issue is that if such doctrine is established, the order of the free world will be defeated, economies will become chaotic and humanity will fall into abyss. With the relentless support of our international allies, the battle has been prolonged as it never should have. We have paid for our naiveness, and we are still suffering until the battle is over. It is a critical moment of free world to decide whether to close the battle swiftly or to watch large tracts of the world fall into the exploitation by Leninism. As a coastline city of continental Asia with no power of self-defence, we cannot find another possible way out except seeking help to the free world. If this message fail to send, this should serve as our last post to the world.
Best,
Hong Konger
