Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, May 8 Question: When youths are tied to violent chariots-Hong Kong's revision of the storm

  Xinhua News Agency reporter

  Looking back at the storms that severely impacted Hong Kong society in 2019, a set of figures is most regrettable: As of early March this year, students accounted for 40% of the more than 7,700 people arrested for participating in the riots, of which more than half were college students; 18 Those arrested under the age of suspected criminal damage accounted for 5% of the total from June to July last year, and more than 50% by January this year.

  The flowery season is suddenly involved in a bloody storm; youthful blood, lost in the street hurricane ...

  How were these young people kidnapped on the runaway chariot and rushed to the cliff? After the unreal passion, who is responsible for their crippled years? What did they encounter at the stage when they needed the right guidance in life?

Distorted education

  On October 13, 2019, black thugs wreak havoc in many places in Hong Kong. Police Ali (pseudonym) and colleagues were ordered to go to the subway Kwun Tong Station to handle a criminal destruction case. A sharp blade suddenly stretched out from the crowd, piercing Ali's neck.

  The wounded with a knife was actually a S6 student who was only 18 years old.

  More than a month later, Ali on the hospital bed regretfully told reporters: "In the past few months, some college students and middle school students have used very violent means to attack the police and citizens and destroy shops. I think there is something wrong with education in Hong Kong."

  In the storm of revision, teenagers are the most enthusiastic group. They indiscriminately set fire, smashed shops, destroyed public facilities, threw petrol bombs, and attacked police and citizens.

  But it is ridiculous that after some of them were dealt with by the police according to law, some schools not only did not criticize their illegal violence, but instead issued a statement accusing "police violations and unauthorized violence", calling on all sectors of society to "accept" perpetrators of violence.

  There is no shortage of instigators and tyrants among teachers in Hong Kong. Huang Junyu, president of the Hong Kong Federation of Educators, introduced that there are more than 60,000 teachers in primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, and some of them are more radical teachers. Although they are small in number, they have great energy. They used the podium to carry out political propaganda, and bewitched some young people and even minors who were not mature enough to take to the streets. Among them, the most violent members have been trained to be "valorous" disciples who discern right from wrong and contempt law.

  According to statistics from the Education Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, from June last year to the end of January this year, a total of 171 complaints about teachers ’professional misconduct were received, most of which involved making inappropriate statements such as hatred and curse. An assistant principal of a high school cursed "the black policeman killed his family" and "the police's children can't live for seven years." According to public opinion in Hong Kong, this is "the shame of education."

  As the largest single-industry trade union in Hong Kong and the organization with the largest number of participating members, the Hong Kong "Education Association" has long been dominated by opposition forces. The head of the organization, Ye Jianyuan, once expressed his support for middle school students to promote "Hong Kong independence" on the campus, beautifying it as "a subjective, personal opinion, and current affairs."

  "If education in Hong Kong is" ill ", then the first thing is that the educator has a problem." Gu Minkang, former deputy dean of the School of Law, City University of Hong Kong, wrote.

  In addition to educators, the teaching content is also problematic. "Hong Kong lacks a positively guided national education, but it is full of negative education and hateful 'education' by the opposition." Said Deng Fei, principal of Xiangdao Middle School in Tseung Kwan O.

  General education became a required subject for the Hong Kong college entrance examination after its return, but it became a platform for unscrupulous teachers in Hong Kong to mislead young students.

  If you go through some general education textbooks, what you suddenly see are attacks on "one country, two systems", beautification of illegal "occupation of the middle", intensification of conflicts between Hong Kong and the mainland, and stigmatization of the mainland ... Some teachers have written general education textbooks independently. It has become a de facto political publicity product and is used to incite students to participate in radical illegal actions.

  The shortcomings and distortions of Chinese history education also have a profound impact. Since 2000, Chinese History has long ceased to be a compulsory subject in Hong Kong schools. Many young people in Hong Kong grew up in a curriculum framework that obscures the roots of history and forgets the rise and fall of history.

  "Some teachers who grew up in the Hong Kong-British era have never experienced patriotic education and Chinese history education. They have a superficial understanding of history and national conditions, and are even full of negative perceptions and prejudices. Their exposition of history and guidance to students have helped Young people are dissatisfied with the status quo, "said Mu Jiajun, a teacher at Peiqiao Middle School in Hong Kong.

  Hong Kong political commentator Qu Yingyan pointed out that with the Hong Kong junior high school textbook, "The Nanjing National Massacre's" national feud "was only 75 words, but the Great Leap Forward and the" Cultural Revolution "period of" Home Hate "used 18 pages. I will understand why young people in Hong Kong are not blushing when holding British and American flags. "

Instigating network

  During June and July 2019, some anti-revision demonstrators in Hong Kong clashed with law enforcement police officers. Subsequently, the personal and relative information of some police officers was made public on the Internet, including the names, ID numbers and families of police officers and their families Address, etc.

  A police officer said that he and his family received a lot of nuisances, threatened calls and text messages. According to statistics, 150 cases of personal data are transferred to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in a short period of time.

  In the storm of revision, some online forums and social media in Hong Kong have become hotbeds for breeding thugs and classrooms that abet violence, becoming the biggest source of chaos in Hong Kong. Faced with the growing up of the Internet and relying heavily on young people in Hong Kong, as long as they seize the right to speak online through various means, continue to cater to their tastes and preferences, and stimulate their extremes and hatred, they can trap their hearts and incite They are rampant on the street.

  A survey by the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups found that nearly 90% of Hong Kong youths own smartphones and use an average of 3.5 hours a day. Social media represented by Facebook (Facebook) has become the most commonly used platform for Hong Kong youths, and nearly half of Hong Kong youths use it as the main source of public affairs information.

  On social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Youtu in Hong Kong, rumors have no cost, and lies are everywhere. "Police sexually assaulted the arrested woman" "Police undercover threw incendiary bombs" "8.31 MTR Prince Edward Station dead" ...... Internet rumors pushed some unknown young people into inexplicable "vengeance" emotions, losing rational thinking And independent judgment. Even though the police and relevant departments have produced evidence to prove that the Internet rumors are purely false, the instigators continue to spread rumors online, and they pretend to play tricks online and engage in "sacrifice" activities.

  Malicious transfer of flowers, Zhang Guanli Dai, is the most common means of inciting violence, inciting hatred and fear. In August, some maliciously modified pictures and videos were circulated online. A picture shows that a family was chased by riot police in Sha Tin New City Plaza. The video played by the police at the press conference clearly showed that the police were escorting them to a safe place. The family later publicly thanked the police for their protection.

  In the demonstration video broadcast by the police, a young man suddenly jumped the bridge, and several policemen pulled him in time to avoid a tragedy. However, this incident was described online as "the police pushed young people off the bridge."

  Violent instigation is not to be blamed on the Internet, and even violent terrorism teaching with a terrorist nature has been transformed. The social media represented by the "Liandeng" online discussion area and the "Telegram" have become the source and command post of the "black terror" and the base camp for atrocity instigation.

  Log in to these two online platforms and spit out violent posts. Want to make your own aggressive weapons and use them correctly? Here are graphic or video tutorials, "Hand to Hand" teach you how to make and use incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, improvised bombs, corrosive liquid bombs. In addition, there are "dog fight sticks", bows and arrows, modified slingshots ... "Eighteen weapons" when black thugs attack the police and siege institutions. "Teaching manuals" can be found here.

  "Hong Kong's online public opinion environment is particularly bad." Chen Zhihao, vice chairman of the Hong Kong Youth Current Critics Association, feels deeply. "The opposition is so popular on popular networks that all kinds of rumors and slander are unblocked."

Blackhand, "star" and "cannon fodder"

  In October 2014, a Hong Kong youth under the age of 20 appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the United States and distributed the article "Fighting Faces". Since then, the life of "Hong Kong Independence" element Huang Zhifeng is like entering a "highlight moment" and has been made into a "political star".

  In the case of the revision law that began in June 2019, together with Huang Zhifeng, he became a "Ming star" figure in the "Pioneer" of anti-chaotic port, as well as Cen Zijie, Liu Yongkuang, Chen Haotian, Ou Nuoxuan ... In front of the microphone, they screamed and incited insults, smashing their blood into the blood. For some young people and even minors in Hong Kong who are not familiar with the world, following them is as exciting as chasing stars.

  Hidden behind these violent "pioneers" is another string of criminal names: Li Zhiying, Li Zhuming, Chen Fang Ansheng, He Junren, and other heads of opposition camps called the "Treasonous Gang of Four" .

  These behind-the-scenes manipulators connected with external forces and tried to use Huang Zhifeng's tree as a benchmark, through which they instilled concepts such as "unlawfulness" and "civil disobedience" into Hong Kong youth. They hyped some social phenomena and social contradictions, triggered young people's dissatisfaction, induced them to "craze speculation", and misled them into thinking they were engaged in a "noble" cause, and "saving Hong Kong" in an alternative way.

  They do everything possible to whitewash and even beautify the violence, and advocate "reasonableness" to do things without having to bear the legal consequences, and step by step induce the young people who are not deeply involved in the world to form the logic of "being prosperous and dying". Some youths who have been "brainwashed" by the anti-China chaotic Hong Kong forces have transformed themselves into selfish and narrow, self-enclosed, and hatred society mobsters in repeated violence.

  In November last year, black thugs, including some students, occupied the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. They occupied bridges and threw objects at traffic lanes, threw petrol bombs at the police, held bows and arrows to confront the police, and treated the campus as a "battlefield." The Chinese University of Hong Kong was even called "tyranny" by society. But the president of the school ’s student council even clamored: “I think this (appellation) is an affirmation to the students of Chinese universities and colleges, and I am proud of the tyranny.”

  "Many young people do not know what law-abiding is, so they learned to break the law first." Liang Meifen, a member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said bluntly that the so-called "violation of the law" "romanticized" and "heroized" the law. Many young people who are more important.

  In order to securely kidnap Hong Kong youths on stalled chariots, the anti-China chaotic Hong Kong forces tried their best to excuse the law and commit crimes. They deceived young people to "keep the case alive and make them more exciting", instigating them to ignore the law and discipline and hit the police.

  Huang Xihua, a Hong Kong social worker born in 1990, has been paying attention to the entire turmoil with cold eyes. He pointed out: "Hong Kong has always been highly praised by the rule of law. Hong Kong youths born and raised in Sri Lanka will not fail to understand the importance of the rule of law to Hong Kong. But under the endorsement of the "justice without error" theory, they know the law and break the law. "

  October 1, 2019 is the day of the nation's celebration for the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. On this day, in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, a large number of thugs attacked police officers. The live video showed that a thug wearing blue gloves and holding a shield struck the police officer wildly with an iron rod in his hand, and the police officer was forced to shoot and hurt him. The shooter was only 18 years old.

  Anyone with a little common sense and rationality knows that violence against the government will be severely punished, and attacking the police is a felony. The anti-China chaotic Hong Kong forces have instigated young people to be "righteous" and "martyrs" to attack the government, attack the police, block roads and set fire, and do everything possible to cause bloodshed. This 18-year-old middle school student became a "cannon fodder" in a muddle.

  "Actually, in Hong Kong today, where is the" illegal justice "? For those politicians who are packaged and nurtured by external forces, the real meaning of this word is actually" illegal Dali. "A political commentator said Say.

  Behind-the-scenes manipulators and "political stars" have unscrupulous lawyers to escort them, help them do everything possible to evade the legally forbidden area, and have various political interests and gifts of money from overseas forces. And those young people who are not involved in the world, but they get iron windows, tears, their future is ruined, and the psychological destruction may have to accompany many people in their lives.

  Deng Bingqiang, Commissioner of the Police Department of the Special Administrative Region Government, pointed out that in the anti-revision routine demonstration conflicts, some violent incidents already have the behavior element of "native terrorism" in nature. However, some people in society not only did not condemn, but instead "heroized" and "romanticized" the violence, pushed others to commit crimes, and enjoyed the political dividend.

  Liang Zhenying, deputy chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, pointedly pointed out that young people are misled by the "big platform" (organization and manipulators) and arrested before they know that they have become "cannon fodder." .
