Hundreds line up at Hong Kong History Museum to witness the last day of "Hong Kong Story" Exhibition
Hundreds of citizens lined up to visit the “Hong Kong Story” exhibit of the Hong Kong History Museum to witness its last day before closing for renovations.
Mr. Chan, a citizen in his 60s, said people should “visit when there is still a chance”. He suspected the purpose of the renovation is to remove historical facts to fit Beijing's "political correctness" and add sections to glorify China.
“If it wasn’t the social movement last year, I wouldn't have realized how much I love Hong Kong”, Chan said, “Looking back at the old times, Hong Kong was so beautiful. There were hard times, but at least the government treated us better.”
