This is a tragic legend. I have always thought that Hong Kong is only suitable for light comedies or light tragedies, because it is a very dynamic city. In other words, it is wishy-washy, with no failures or endings. One cannot judge until the coffin is nailed, and if you lose, there's nothing to be proud of; just get up and start over. Without a so-called history, there is no sedimentation, so everything about it is light and floaty, like the duckweed on the water surface of a pond in summer. It's green, crowded, and lively but it has no roots. When a wave comes along, it scatters and starts all over again. Taipei is different. Perhaps it's because of Taipei's cultural background, I always think of it as a desolate city. It feels as heavy and gloomy as the color of the font I am using now, weighing you down, and you can never get up again.
