My name is Chan His M. I undertake doctoral research in
cross-cultural theory at the University of Cardiff. I am a Hong Kong citizen
living, studying and working in the UK since I was 17. Whereas the tension
growing in Hong Kong between the Umbrella movement - Occupy Central - and the
government, I feel that it is time to write.
Having the experience of growing up in mainland China, Hong Kong and the UK, have never been fully recognized any of them.
I mainlander, as I hold Hong Kong citizenship. Not real Hong Longer was like I had the experience of growing up on the land, and for many that means I am to some extent brainwashed. I'm not British, even though I have lived in this country for almost 10 years and can speak English fluently.
Thoroughly There will always be seen as an outsider, at least for a long, long time.
But as an outsider, maybe I can see the big picture in a more objective way. I'm not brainwashed by any '-ism', as I do not believe that there is only one ultimate "-ism" that is suitable for all human civilization.

So who am I represent here? I am representing, Hong Kong citizen with a rather hybrid life experience. I do not choose any party. What I believe and what I hope is a movement towards democracy that we all hope for. What I believe in is not who is going to 'win' this battle to the end, but rather, how we can move things forward.
However, if you think what I believe at this time is the absolute truth and right, then you May stop reading this letter (you may have already done so). The absolute answer to your opinion, but the determination of one's actions.
Here are some very naive proposals of each party events.
Although I have not changed my Face book picture yellow tape or umbrella, I was watching the progress of protest every day, and my heart beats my house - regardless of whether the people in the country recognize this failure.
