Although the Chinese government promised Hong Kong 50 years of autonomous rule after its return to China from the UK in 1997, Beijing has been blatantly encroaching on Hong Kong's right to self-rule. Beijing has just announced that all the candidates for Chief Executive of Hong Kong must be vetted by China's National People's Congress. If this policy is actually carried out, it means that every future leader of Hong Kong will be pro-Beijing, and pro-democracy candidates will have no chance. Hong Kong people, along with those from Macau, are the few Chinese people out of 1.4 billion who have the fortune to live in a democracy, though even this precious system is being eroded away.

I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin So if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go So why don't we go This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know?

This made me cry.

20 Signs It’s Time To Let Go & Move On

Let go or be dragged - Zen Proverb 1. When your thoughts go to memories more than the present. 2. When the situation causes you more pain than joy. 3. When you expect, hope and plead for the person, place or situation to change. 4. When you become complacent, bored or resentful. 5. When the pattern persists even though you tried to fix it. 6. When you feel alone, unheard or disrespected. 7. When the situation is holding you back from growing and being who you want to be. 8. When you stay, hoping and expecting things to get better. 9. When you cry more than you laugh and love. 10. When you feel exhausted emotionally, spiritualty and physically. 11. When you have lost your passion and joy. 12. When you core beliefs and values have changed and you sacrifice who you are. 13. When you stop having fun. 14. When you fear this is the best it will be. 15. When you force a smile to mask the pain. 16. When you lose who you are and stop dreaming. 17. When you hold on out of fear of the unknown. 18. When you sense you are holding onto something meant to be let go. 19. When the thought of being free of the situation feels expansive. 20. When you believe in a better life for yourself.
