Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, August 24 - Question: How can we allow glorify violence rhetoric once again torment Hong Kong students

  Xinhua News Agency reporter

  The school season is approaching, and many teachers and seniors have sent sincere blessings to the new students. However, the "Family Letter to Freshmen" concocted by the Student Union of the Chinese University of Hong Kong is full of evil intentions and malice.

  Obviously it is a gathering of riots, but it is said that it is "to defend the campus to the death"; it is clearly a violation of the law, but complacent with the title of "violent university (violent university)"... Looking at this "family letter", its essence is to beautify and justify violence , It can be called another "black storm" "brainwashing essay".

  The Chinese University of Hong Kong paid a very painful price in the "regulations". The rioters once occupied the CUHK campus and set fires everywhere, smashed facilities, threw petrol bombs, attacked passing vehicles and police officers, turning the school into a "battlefield" and "arsenal." After the mob left, weapons and rubbish were everywhere on the scene, and the former city of Zhongda Mountain was like a dead city. According to the school, it will cost more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars to repair the campus.

  The international reputation of the Chinese University of Hong Kong has also weakened. Many educators worry that CUHK's teaching and research progress will be hindered, talents may be lost, and international rankings may fall further. The future of many middle school students may be affected by this.

  Regrettably, instead of reflecting on the evil consequences of violence, this "family letter" beautifies it as a "spirit of resistance," and even claims to pass on the humanistic spirit of CUHK with the "spirit of resistance."

  The academic circles generally believe that the humanistic spirit refers to people-oriented, respect for human dignity, value, rights and freedom. Using this as a measure, violence not only fails to continue the humanistic spirit, it is a crude trampling on the humanistic spirit.

  On the campuses of universities in Hong Kong, many professors devote themselves to teaching and research, and students can study at ease. However, when the "dark violence" hit, some radicals insulted and harassed dissident teachers and classmates, and a large number of teachers and students were forced to evacuate hastily. Their basic human rights and freedoms were difficult to protect, and their academic freedom was seriously damaged.

  It needs to be emphasized that respecting the humanistic spirit is by no means an excuse for individuals to harm the public interest with their own selfish desires. Encouraging academic freedom is by no means advocating division and ruining Hong Kong’s freedom.

  With the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, its deterrent effect has initially appeared. The anti-China and Hong Kong elements are in chaos, some claim to "fade out of politics", some high-profile "cut seats" try to "prove their innocence", and some quietly fled to avoid legal accountability. However, there are still organizations similar to the Student Union of the Chinese University of Hong Kong that do not know how to converge, and continue to extend their black hands to education in an attempt to use students as "cannon fodder" and "political fuel" again in order to seek political personal gain.

  During the "Regulations Controversy", some immature students have been tricked into taking advantage of it. Based on the data as of June 30 this year alone, there have been more than 9,000 detainees in Hong Kong involved in the "Regulation Amendment Disturbance", of which 40.4% are students. Therefore, the majority of students should learn lessons, distinguish right from wrong, and avoid ruining the otherwise beautiful future.

  In fact, the "home letter" of the Student Union of the Chinese University of Hong Kong is only the tip of the iceberg of the chaos of education in Hong Kong. Over the years, the Hong Kong education system has been full of abuses. From the "drug teaching materials" that incited students to hate the Mainland, to the "drug teacher" who cursed the Hong Kong police for "killing the whole family", to spreading "drug test questions" that distort history and anti-China rebellion against Hong Kong... These facts all show that Hong Kong should Make great efforts to solve the education problem.

  At present, the Education Bureau of the SAR Government has issued a number of targeted measures. For example, the Education Bureau issued a notice requiring schools to interpret the background, main content and significance of Hong Kong's national security law legislation to improve national security awareness and law-abiding awareness; Hong Kong primary and secondary schools are celebrating New Year's Day (January 1) and National Day ( On October 1st), the national flag must be raised and the national anthem must be sung. All sectors of the community believe that the above-mentioned measures will help promote chaos in the education field.

  However, due to the profound disadvantages, there is still a long way to go to solve the education problem in Hong Kong. In the future, Hong Kong should strengthen basic law education and national conditions education for young people, and "zero tolerance" for disseminating "Hong Kong independence" and advocating "criminal violence". All sectors of society that care about the next generation in Hong Kong should also actively participate in the cause of caring for the healthy growth of young people, and jointly cut off the black hand that extends to education and to students.
