Comments by "May L" (@MeiinUK) on "A Tour Of Hong Kong's Triad Gangster District (#141)" video.
To the international viewers, let's set the record straight. Yuen long is kind of like a suburbia village. From my last recollection. It was based on a village model to begin with. I hope that it has not commercialised now though. Their lands shouldn't be sold to commercial property developers to begin with. Why would you drag two random foreign army men to some of the strong indigenous classical and traditional Cantonese villages and then kick off... Make a scene... Creates the videos.. the movies... Why ? Just cos the state council let go of primary sector work and wanted tiertiary work now after the WTO?... And now, you have pockets of regular people doing life the best they know how cos they've literally been left behind. So now self indie movie making is the big businesses of the day ? .... Absolutely trash. Really.

@Music4567able : If you really really want to know the history of that Kowloon Walled area.. This is because when the Qing dynasty ceded that area, to the British for ownership. Any other province's people.. cannot enter Canton then. So what they did was, they entered an area... that would have Chinese Imperial laws.. and then they would hide in there instead. Cos the other lands, they know that they cannot enter. This is why they go in there. And often... people will end up in there, if they already knew or had families in there too. So some of the people.. from a bystanders' viewpoints as well... When they say that it is full of "prostitution"... They better CLARIFY to see if this WAS SO THE CASE FIRST... Rather than to realises that, some of those were husband and wives possibly.. but puts up with sh!ty living conditions by moving from their own rural farming communities !!!!!! Since nobody could talk.. or nobody could speak.. or checks.. or whatever.... People just assumed that one thing go into another and into another etc. Shouldn't really praise this kind of place. Cos it ended up as a horror place... Even if some of those were genuine local Cantonese from over the borders.. of which they could enter HK. Unlike the ones that couldn't enter HK... like the Fuijian regional people.. but ended up there.. And the British allowed the "inter-provincial clan war" happens and take place !!! e.g. Hakka-Punti Clan wars... This is like the same thing now happening all over the internet. Somebody creates a website.. and then takes photos of somebody else's home.. and then sell it and takes the money. Even though the house does not belong to them. This is stealing, isn't it ? And yet.. those times and periods are not stealing ??? Pull the other one.

I think they mean "acidic food"... The words may sound different... but the concept can be similar. Heatie Vs Cold.... Alkaline Vs acidic.

Chi sin....

Chi sin !!!!!!! Even if you were born in HK... you won't know.. cos it does not concern you, at all ?! And what the previous government should've done is to reduced trade or immigration as well. But she did not. And this didn't happen either. So this is what we got... And cos you guys don't learn Cantonese as well.. never mind the basics.. the deeper meaning as well, you won't even understand or get.. or realises, at all ? And even when we had those British educated people that were also British Cantonese AS well... even THEY did not get what is going on.... So yeh... it loses really !!!! Despite the Premier wants an actual "One Country Two System"... well.. what they really mean now is a..."dual PRC system"... Cos the consolidated in Beijing !!!!!! When that didn't existed before !! No thanks to the push by the USA side !!!!

Even some of the overseas' people now.. were non-local to HK will claim that, this is THEIR land... and THEIR.... country, and THEIR cities... The NSL has been created.. and now... There is a call for the "local people that were there to be back".. Or something... Like heck they would. Of course, they would NOT !!!

What does American history has to do with Cantonese history in its own intrinsic ways ? You tell me.... This is Cantonese history... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_4fQwlcrBQ&t=148s The Nine Elders... and why are their actions, or their activities... unknown.. and unbroadcasted.. and un-respected to begin with ???? Why ???.... Careful when people uses those terms "triads" or "mafia".... We say in Cantonese... " do not be petty"... but for a single moment.. do you run around the world, filming other people, and then shaming them on the global internet ? Why would you do that, if the person don't even know you know you ? Right ????

Well.. I have not read or watched as many of these videos.. or anything. Maybe I ought to.. and SHOULD DO... go back and work in HK actually.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WEOTgBTbDQ&list=PLqeNOlDrxqYoZwyjgYtwQNoIWnCAyRsE8&index=5 Cos frankly.. I cannot see myself up UPWARDS into the political tiers..so if MY future is ruined. Then why shouldn't the future of HK be also ruined too? I don't mind. Cos frankly.. it has reached its days. Enough. There aren't as many chinese food. Most of it are now Westernised franchaises anyway. A lot of it are now graffittis.. as well... Families, and lives are lost. Similar in the UK as well.. Lots of people always want to play football.. but not many would do the farming. Those lands.. and those gentries... I mean, my house is sitting on land that is owned by the Duke of Norfolk... So I can see the argument in HK between the "those who works for the trading/HSBC/banking empire"... to those that are "against the international trades, and are the locals.. and owns the land originally".... Whoever controlled those fluctuation... is and should have been executed. I don't mind that ... they should have literally been so. Cos what they have caused is far MORE... than this. The HK media... and Vice.. often calls people like me "triads"... Really? so a triad like me, have been buying Chinese mobile goods from the mainland. Have been eating rice and soy sauces from the mainland. Have been to dining out for dim sums with families.. based on flours that were milled in HK. and tea leaves that were imported from the mainland. I guess.. I am such a betrayer... then. I suppose. What PRC should NOT have done.. is to joined the WTO. That was its downfall !!!!!.. It should've reformed !!! It created a so called "State Council" that looks like a so called central government, but this is nothing central at all. We.. today, have chinese people that aren't chinese in race at all... and mostly... chinese in nationality.... and land grab is happening a lot. And the older generation of the Canton's provincial governors and their descendents today have NO say at all.. about the future. This is weird.. even the Royal families in the UK... and their gentries..a re dominating political and artistis lives. They all work mostly in the public sectors... So how come HK is not like that then ???

Before 1998... Yuen Long was not like THIS kind of a hell hole, I can assure you of THAT !!!!! No wonder those younsters are killing people for it !!! If their elders.. people like me... went back there.. and stood our ground. Do you think that yu would not be forced to live in higher salaries to begin with any way ??? And why should there be this kind of chaos over there to begin with ?! As I stated before.. in 1998... I bought a mobile phone. That costed me around 400 pounds. And that equated to around to be 400, 000 YUANS !!!! WHO is losing here?!!!!! And today.. I still bank with sodding HSBC !!!!! OF COURSE THEY WOULD FEEL WEALTHY !!!! BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME WILL LOSE OUT THOUGH !!!!!! Goddamn.

@Music4567able : That is because historically.... the "rural villages" were the original settlers of HK as well. They have been there, for a long time. This is why.. the distances between the the ceded areas, to the non-ceded areas is vast. This is up for discussion and for correct historical aspect. Did the British being there, also raised open trade between china and vice versa? Yes. Some people will admit it. But some people won't. And HK Chief Exec didn't exactly coordinated things very well either... 300 million versus 1.4 billion... This is a no win race at all. There did not used to be a State Council.. and now suddenly, there is one ??? And then even suddenly... World Bank could enter into the PRC.. and gives "financial advice"..... Now, many countries SHOULD be scared of this aspect. Cos why should world bank enter the PRC and let them manipulate the world ??? This is not, and how things should have gone !!!! Definitely NOT. US was right to mention about the technology aspect as well.. for a long time... ! And so they should !.... Suddenly from rural places, to have things like flying drones... even some of the remote villagers.. cannot handle this as well. You should also watch this too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_qEYIv7gHk&t=241s Just because there was trade, it does not mean that there should be unequal trade... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9W5N0y4l04&t=335s

You mean the local people who has been robbed and cheated and things... or that the locals cannot be declared to be living in peace? Wasn't that what "communism" was all about to begin with ???? HERE... for those who said that there were 1) no British in the North fighting for China. Cos there was. And 2) That the West are basically evil sods throughout again and again and again.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z54akiD10gA In case people also did not know... that Japan... had actual "defeated people".. from China... So when they recooperate.. and then fight back... What they are doing.. is basically... grabbing back their lands and their homes and their towns. This is what they are trying to do. Same with HK... Why were some of the locals chinese or Cantonese were let go of by the Japanese ? Cos it was because of Britain.... and why did they not leave Singapore, or the Malaysian areas alone ? People need to be aware of what is going on !!!

They are not "secret societies"... but really... many were possibly the previous generation's descendents' of the old bankers.. and the old businesses.... And I think that their ethics should stay in all honesty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_qEYIv7gHk&t=18s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOAj_NdpGdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9W5N0y4l04 My father was also bonded to come into the UK to work. So was my grandfather too. And in doing so.. we earned our way.. and we build our own houses, based on our own salaries.. and businesses. And we wouldn't necessarily also...NOT do work. Or indeed do TOO much work. Cos at the end of the day, the rate of what one does... can affect an entire society also too. So why were these "secret" societies... when they were the previous generation's business people and things ???? This is what Europen economists/monitors are saying about the world and china today... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0IRAW8xL4&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYQEnNVBJTOrlvc3v7i47wc&index=23&t=3967s Somebody said.. that just 30 years ago.. we had 3 billion people. Today.. we have 8 billion. I don't believe it. I really don't ? We now have malnourished people, and malnutrioned people as well. Whereas those bankers.. in those days, kept themselves busy.. rather than to be randomly procreating and create lots of babies... Unlike today. Unlike China.. and the PRC... who has a "daddy with 8 kids".... Loose connections.. and going wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc-dJMq9gxM&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYdBCJapnp1xK3cN-2KvFza&index=16&t=1390s And people are still refusing to abort as well. And refusing to build and closed a society down. Even if this meant to keep people apart and not have more children for a mere 5 or 10 years.... Why does Buddhism exists? Why does... Taoism exists? Why does... Hinduism exists ? So a man cannot stop his own urges ? And create a society ? This man cannot even stop saying whatever... Go and run ! Or do what the Dutch did when they realised what they have done... which is to ask for euthanasia !!!!!
