29 April 2010 - Every morning a silent army of
little bespectacled professors moves into the Kowloon Tong area, where I live. It is the army of Hong Kong's school kids, all neatly dressed in their 1950s school uniforms. No make up, no sneakers, no punky hair. These kids don't smoke, they don't rebel, and at least 50% of them seem sunken in their own world of video-games and MP3s. The sad thing is that they also don't smile. The general impression on their faces is one of concern combined with fatigue. Life weighs already very heavy on them and I believe many of them will not look much different when 50+. What is Hong Kong doing to their kids? Why do Hong Kong kids have to live like little grown-ups?
