Lunar New Year Fireworks Cancelled

Home Affairs Secretary Lau Kong-wah announced that the fireworks display in Victoria Harbour, traditionally held on the second day of the Lunar New Year has been cancelled for security reasons.

It appears that the government is unable to exert enough control on the HK Police to ensure public safety. And that more video of police beating and arresting random people will further erode the tourism industry.

A mainland visitor, when asked if she was afraid of coming to Hong Kong, answered: “I’m afraid of being attacked or arrested for no reason”.

當荒謬成為日常 / When Absurdity Becomes Everyday

當荒謬成為日常

手腳被綁,膠袋套頭被指為自殺。
街上出現腰部斷為兩截的屍體。
墜樓身亡,卻沒有任何巨響和鮮血。
海上出現雙手被綁口封膠紙的浮屍。
⋯⋯ 他們不是一堆無可疑的數字。

當荒謬成為日常,請拒絕麻木,
麻木只會令歪理變常理。
.
若從天而降一具具的屍體,你會怎樣?

Hands and feet were tied and plastic bags were alleged to have committed suicide.
Two corpses with broken waists appeared on the street.
He fell and died without any loud noises or blood.
A floating body with seams sealed in both hands appeared at sea.
…They are not a bunch of unquestionable numbers.

When absurdity becomes everyday, please refuse to be numb, Numbness can only make a fallacy common sense. What would happen to a dead body from heaven?
