Journey to Nowhere » Distortion of history 4 years 16 weeks ago

I was shocked to hear from the news that the Hong Kong Canto pop song “At the foothill of the Lion Mountain” (獅子山下) was named the most well known “national affair song”(國情歌) in a survey among secondary students. How was it possible that the song is about national affair when the song, as every Hong Kong adult knows, is the theme song of a very popular TV series in the 70s about the lives of Hong Kong people? It is a song about Hong Kong, a city, not China, the whole country.

I don't get this. He was a passenger in the car and now he's charged with murder? I guess he tried to get away in the taxi for some reason but am I missing some crucial aspect of HK law here?

Maybe he killed the driver of the taxi he hit after taking the first one?

I think he violently argued with the driver, which caused the driver to crash into some other cars. The driver died because of this.

I wonder if people who make controversial statements about the party ever disappear from Hong Kong like they've been known to do on the mainland.

We all hate Maths, seriously. But when it comes to rating girls, you wouldn’t mind doing a bit of simple evaluation, calculation and optimization. Most people in the world would rate a girl using a score of 1 the worst to 10 the best. And the most common criteria used are the look and the body assuming that you haven’t talked to the girl yet.
