Don't believe everything you see on TV

no mainland is the cultural desert. Do you even celebrate Duan Wu or August 15th anymore? Do you hold dragon boat festivals? eat rice wrapped in lotus leaf? how many of you actually read Confucius in the original text? if anything Hong Kong is enriched by its western influence.

i dont know the whole thing what the video is trying to say, but i got one impression that, for ppl who made this video, you should go to college and take at least one courses on sociology..and what the ending is suppose to say?

[Rab1975bit]

How can you possibly generalize people like that? Based on what? Your personal experiences talking to every single Hong Kong person on earth? How many Hong Kongers do you know personally? Have you even lived in Hong Kong? What's the difference between what you don't like about Hong Kong people and you coming up with such comments? It just shows your childishness and shallowness.

wht u talking about hongkongese has no culture+value, they only admire money money money(not even capitallistic society, cuz least there is sense of value and belief in there) lol, they re not more than half jap

"the wall" they talk about is very similar to the "bracelet of hair" in John Donne's poem "The Relic". symbolizing a method of location where 2 lovers can meet together in the afterlife.
