83-year-old Li Yi: I don’t have long to live, but I believe Hong Kong young people have wisdom beyond imagination 3/6
▶️ Part Two
How can despair be sustained?
“With the epidemic in mind these days, I started reading The Plague by Albert Camus. The novel touches upon the feeling of despair, and how it is regrettable to feel despair; and ‘that the habit of despair is worse than despair itself’. This is not to say that resistance necessarily leads to the achievement of our goals or the attainment of freedom, but in the process of a struggle, we are free. You are free when you participate in the struggle. I believe that many young people enjoy the freedom and the self-realization in this struggle. This is why pessimism should not mean passivism, you should face your life with active participation. Be free in all kinds of imaginable struggles. For instance, the Anti-Extradition Law movement, it may seem like we have not achieved much, but I actually think that Hong Kong has benefited much from it."

//the British government did a fine job implementing the rule of law so everyone could do as they wished.
//The Hong Kong British Government did not think they would get the support of Hong Kong citizens. They saw that most Hong Kong people were Chinese...The letter from the Governor of Hong Kong, David Trench, to the United Kingdom said that he never thought they would have the support of the Hong Kong people
//Hong Kong was governed by the British since the 19th century, it accepted Western culture, and preserved a pre-modern environment of tolerance.
//Hong Kong was now in shock and without the protection of British rule; its illusions about China were shattered. It was then that indigenous awareness was once again aroused in people’s consciousness.
