Hong Kong on strike and my thoughts
    2019-08-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Rain Wu, G8D, RDF International School

If I was to write something featuring Hong Kong and the people going on strike, what would it be? Would it be an article similar to the ones an official account would write, which has all sorts of news that makes one go “oooh!” and “ahh!?”

Or would it be like something on television, which never misses any details?

Well, I’m here to say no. I’m just going to compose something simple and from the perspective of a typical middle school student, which I am.

First of all, I’m going to list some facts. Young people are seen throughout Hong Kong wearing face masks and carrying umbrellas. Wherever they go, vile and offensive anti-government notes are left. They block traffic, harm innocent pedestrians and even influence the police forces. And, from all I’ve learned from mass media, they’re doing it willingly.

If describing it wasn’t shocking enough, the videos and pictures featuring the activities would gain one’s clenched fists and gnashing teeth.

Anti-governmental people are shown using slingshots, gas-grenades, and weaponized umbrellas against policemen.

I have a question: What’s the job of policemen? As any 4-year-old understands, thanks to the hard-working policemen, we are protected and safe. But do they understand?

According to a journalist’s interviews with the rioting people, when they are asked “How should you react when you encounter danger abroad,” they give no reply!

So again we’re inviting the sensible 4-year-olds to tell us that informing the police is the exact thing to do.

These people have no respect for government workers and did not learn what a government worker does before seeing them as the enemy.

Overall, going on strike is a disturbance to our society and shows zero respect for our nation and it’s an unsatisfactory example. Furthermore, we should keep a sharp mind and not be provoked into doing anything regrettable.
