These young people are truly changing and shaping Chinese culture and government, THIS is how you make a difference. Truth is, YOU are the government, you people, government is here to do what people wish, they work for the people.

Most HK people I know are much more happy and free with mainland than with UK before, do research if you wish to, this is my experience, with UK they had no voice of their own. Hong Kong has never been as free like it is now, that's why lots of them are not aligning with protesters at all, they dont represent or speak for HK people. As I see it, this is a protest, not a revolution joined willingly by most HK people. Democracy doesn't work for all countries and lots of Chinese people realize that and have no problem with it.

There's a high probability that HK and Mainland don't love each other 5/7 of the time actually. You can not take back a child you didn't raise, they had a different father since they were born, now the father is gone and their original father wants them back, someone they never knew before. This is an example of how much love for those parents that really took care of us matters the most than people who neglected us, how spirit matters more than blood. HKers love Chinese culture, but not their father who ignored them and doesn't love them. Love means to allow them be who they are as adults now, you can't steal their heart anymore, it's too late.

However, HK has become like a lost child, lots of youngsters barely speak English and also barely speak Mandarin, over all those years they have established their own culture, it is unreasonable to act based on ideas what belongs to China or not, but what is best for the people NOW.

HK and Mainland don't love each other, they love their ancestors more. You can not take back a child you didn't raise, they had a different father since they were born, now the father is gone and their original father wants them back, someone they never knew before. This is an example of how much love for those parents that really took care of us matters the most than people who neglected us, how spirit matters more than blood. HKers love Chinese culture, but not their father who ignored them and doesn't love them. Love means to allow them be who they are as adults now, you can't steal their heart anymore, it's too late. Some people need to understand that by dividing we gain the strength of unity, Hong Kong would not be as powerful with mainland China if Hong Kongers are two much in conflict with way of life of the mainland China, Chinese people themselves is not a homogenous society, every single one of us is different, China would far more benefit and serve its own people if it was divided into several independent states or communities that better do justice to the demands of those people. That's the power of diversity of people, their hearts and beliefs.
