Seventeen Year Old Hong Kong Leader for Democracy

Posted on October 2, 2014 by annetbell

 

The faces and places change, but the yearning for  self-determination is  the same. . . in Egypt, Hong Kong,Kiev or Scotland.

There is universal longing for “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!”

A brave new hero! China lied to Hong Kong about promises they made regarding suffrage.  Does that sound familiar Scotland?

    This truly is an amazing time ~ and such a strong group of students/people making the feelings of the population known (although he has shown he is just 17 yrs. old a few times, he’s what HK and all societies need). It is interesting, however, how HK never had a glimpse of democracy or such freedoms when Britain ruled…
