Hong Kong

A city off the coast of Mainland China that used to be a fairly decent place. After its colonisation by the UK, it became a giant melting pot of cultures and a "Shopping and Food Paradise" for the tourists. Its people are pretty great and there is a lot of undeveloped land in HK due to its many hills. In 2019, there was a massive protest where young people protested against a very controversial extradition bill that soon turned into a protest for democracy and for China to keep their hands off Hong Kong's rights, since China is notorious for its human rights abuses and the June 4th 1989 incident. The protests were peaceful at first but after the police began to use violence on the protestors, they too, turned violent. After nearly a year of this whole thing, they ended due to a National Security Law that basically stripped Hong Kong of all its rights. Now, it's a miserable police state with no freedom of speech, no way to commemorate the Tiananmen Square Massacre and it's getting worse and worse. Hong Kong has been miserable for almost 2 years now.

What happened to my home?

Person 1: Hey, do you know about the Hong Kong protests?
Person 2: Yeah, I supported the protestors.
Person 1: Wow, me too. I miss the good old days, don't you?
Person 2: Yeah.
