Was surfing around and found this Hong Kong blogger, Matxela.
With the fall of HK to the Beijng butchers, more and more of those who celebrated Double Ten went over to pro-Beijing cocktail parties. Is it so wrong to commemorate Wuchang Uprising, the revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen ?
Perhaps national identity is not that strong among Hongkies, yet, prior to 1997, there were many who voluntarily put up ROC flags all around town, which, according to them, was “10 times more than Commies flag now come October 1…”
Even so, according to them, in the earlier years, the flags were mostly displayed outside everyone’s house. Over time, fewer people do that, and the flags had to be placed around public areas such as roadside, pedestrain bridges or playgrounds, by only a handful of patriots.
All that remains now is nostalgia…
