Uncle Jia’s free talk: On Professor Kong Qingdong from Mainland China calling Hong Kong people “dogs” A mainland tourist ate in public in a Hong Kong subway car, which made some people in the car dissatisfied and looked down upon. They thought mainlanders were unruly. This prompted Kong Qingdong, a professor at Peking University, to insult Hong Kong people on the TV station as dogs and the worst people. He said that Hong Kong relies on mainland tourists for its livelihood and has no right to be proud. "One word is cheap". He also said that Chinese people are obliged to speak Mandarin, and those who do not speak Mandarin are bastards. These remarks immediately aroused public indignation in Hong Kong and shocked the people of China and Hong Kong. The conflict reached its peak, with the masses jointly protesting, and people from the mainland and Hong Kong starting a war. Who is Kong Qingdong? He is a professor at Peking University and the host of the "Freedom of Speech" program on the TV station. He is paranoid in speech and extremely moody. He likes to sensationalize and has no sense of social responsibility as a mass communicator. His harsh words and unruly insults of all Hong Kong people as dogs are inconsistent with the demeanor of a professor and a program host. What else is there to say about freedom of speech? They are all gentle and clean. In recent years, mainlanders have traveled south to Hong Kong and Macao. Some of them do not abide by local laws and cannot follow the local customs. For example, some smokers still puff smoke and throw garbage cigarette butts on the street despite the express prohibition in hotels and restaurants. Uncle Jia once waited in line to buy tickets at Hong Kong Ocean Park, but was overwhelmed by a mainland group later. Another time he watched a local opera in the South China Sea, and when the performance reached its peak, people in the back row who spoke Northern dialect rushed to block it. This is only part of the story. Mainland Chinese do not represent all Chinese people on the mainland. Likewise, some Hong Kong people are more civilized and educated and look down on mainland tourists who behave inappropriately, but they do not represent all Hong Kong people. Nowadays, there are still some mainlanders who are considered intellectuals or descendants of bureaucrats. They are often discriminatory in their speech and behavior. They are used to looking at southerners, Hong Kong and Macao compradors, and foreign slaves with a "big brother from the Central Plains" mentality. They can't even speak Mandarin, or they can't speak it well, and they even advocate destroying Cantonese. If Dr. Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago, he established the capital in the south and Cantonese was the main language of the country. How should we call people who don't know how to speak Cantonese now? It is true that since Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, its economy has relied on the support of the mainland. In the current tourism-oriented economy, Hong Kong people rely on the breath of the mainland to maintain prosperity, and mainland tourists bring a lot of money. The remarks of people like Kong Qingdong are all aimed at inciting ethnic strife, undermining the feelings of compatriots and alienating regional friendships. There is no reason for the government to condone him and he should be dismissed immediately and investigated.
