    Respect Different Values Embrace Different Views

    I thought..."They're taking the piss aren't they?".

    Then it got to 0.25.....yep, back in Hong Kong!

    I love how HUGE (for HK) that dining room is in the final scene with the laughing woman .... rich tai tai? How about including a few lifts and MTR exits!

    This goes beyond the usual mainland vs hk difference. It boils down to basically adhering to a rigid and narrow world view, and anything that falls outside of it is intolerable for Hkers. Independent thinking is discouraged and ridiculed. Difference (whether good or bad) is frowned upon. They are encouraged to follow rather than lead. No wonder HK's crop of political leaders post-handover have been so lousy .

    Unfortunately that message won't really mean anything. Anyone in HK who sees it will think they are already being respectful and it's everyone else who is not. It completely fails to give any kind of insight into what sort of different values people will have.
