Medical Professor and SARS Expert Joseph Sung: Giving up on Hong Kong's younger generation means losing faith in future
At the start of the pro-democracy movement in 2019, the Hong Kong government, and business sector have been ignoring the youngsters' demands. Annie Wu, daughter of Maxim's Catering's founder, said that she had lost all hope in them, causing the pro-democracy fraction to boycott the company and its chains.
In a radio show recently, Joseph Sung, former professor and ex-Vice-Chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) disagreed that one should give up and lose hope on the younger generation.
During the show, Sung said that he understood the frustrations of the younger generation, but they should not lose hope just because they are unable to own homes. He suggested that if one cannot get married and have kids, they could perhaps work overseas for a few years and contribute to the society when they are back. He also said that the younger generation is very creative and energetic, and that people should not write them off. He said that giving up on the younger generation means losing faith in the future, and urged the different generstions to listen to each other.
