Hong Kong Anti-Parallel Trading Youths “Besiege” Mainland Mother and Daughter Explodes on Internet

March 8th, over ten thugs acting in the name of being against parallel trading successively went to Hong Kong’s Sheung Shui, Tuen Mun, and Tsim Sha Tsui districts to arbitrarily besiege, curse, and assault people. Apart from actual parallel traders, even a mainland mother-child pair of tourists who weren’t actual parallel traders as well as born-and-bred local Hong Kong residents were innocently victims of their insults and assault. Photo is of a pair of mainland tourists being besieged by a group of youths, accused of smuggling, with the little girl frightened into bawling.

In the conflict, the young woman at one point said, “We are all Chinese”, never expecting to to draw the fierce response: “We’re not Chinese!” Hong Kong government official, pro-establishment, and pan-democracy members, who have rarely been united, together used strong words to denounce the vile conduct of the anti-parallel trading protesters.

A kind-hearted Hong Kong young woman was beside them continuously consoling the little girl, helping wipe her tears.

The little girl frightened into crying.

The verbally assaulted mother calling the police, with the demonstrators ceaselessly pointing and cursing her.

Protesters pointing at and cursing the mainland mother-daughter pair.

我叫黄糯：

Hong Kong people can choose not to be Chinese, but Hong Kong island can only be a Chinese island.

mango帆：

Hong Kong, hello! If you continue to be so cocky, mama is going to change your name to People’s Republic of China Guangdong province Shenzhen city Hong Kong town.

夜舞莎逻：

I no longer believe the majority of Hong Kongers are good. This mother with her little child was stopped in the middle of the street to inspect her luggage. I think this would be an unacceptable thing to happen in any country or place. Yet the people around them (including the person filming this), none of them went forward to stop this or protect the mother and child. I think Hong Kong has really become rotten. I represent only myself and my family in expressing that we will not go to Hong Kong to shop or vacation.

于LANl：

I want to human flesh search this adorable Hong Kong youth. Those in agreement, click upvote. Posts a poster.

特不深沉：

Jia you Hong Kong. If you work a bit harder, the central government will release a new policy.

原来是李大官人：

Mistaking someone as a parallel trader, only to realize you were wrong, yet still not apologizing. Frightening a child, yet accusing the mother-daughter pair as feigning victimhood. [The mother] asks if you are Chinese, only for all of them to reply in unison that they are not, and cursing her with profanity. Accusing the girl of going to school in Hong Kong and taking a spot in school away from their children, saying if the mother-daughter pair pay taxes then they’ll apologize… When I first watched the video, I was shocked, in disbelief that this is what some of the youth are like in Hong Kong today.

HEYAMEDE：

I’m organizing a quarreling team to go to Hong Kong next month, with a monthly pay of 3000 [RMB]. Starting at 9am each morning, we’ll practice our eloquence of speech, volume of speech, speed of speech, and ability to be vicious. We get off work at 5pm, with dinner provided. The team will be about 11 people, with 3 substitutes. Each Hong Konger you curse into tears gets you a 300 [RMB] bonus.

芹了个菜-甭-达里尼：

In the reports I see these days, these Hong Kongers are almost all covering their faces, which demonstrates these people also know in their hearts that what they are doing is wretched.

艾小妮不念：

It’s time to redraw Hong Kong as part of Guangzhou.

索佳Nick：

If they’re not going to let us go there, we should do precisely the opposite, and go there more. As Northeastern manly man, I’d like to go vacation in Hong Kong with my bros, and it would be even better if we can run into youth like these.

CitadelleYang：

Speaking only about this video, if this were to happen in the mainland, I absolutely cannot say that the mainland does not have brainless extremist youth who refuse to admit fault/mistake, but I daresay there would be people in the mainland trying to break it up, people who would say “young man, how can you be like this”, people who would point and criticize. Yet in the video, there are people who come and go, who silently watch or film, but only at the end is there one woman who consoles the victim, and seems to condemn the young men wearing face masks.

小锤子他妈：

Stupid cunt Hong Kong youth bullying women and children! Saying he isn’t Chinese so loud and clear [resolutely]! I’ve been to Hong Kong countless times, and the lousy place is only good for shopping and nothing else. It’s housing prices are extremely expensive, its streets crowded, its amenities old and far inferior to Shenzhen, and just how high [good] are Hong Kongers’ characters? I don’t know, but streets full of locals who cross the street [jaywalk] without looking at the light are innumerable! Where do they get their superiority complex? Unhappy being economically steamrolled by the mainland [referring to the mainland catching up to Hong Kong economically], so you vent your frustrations on mainlanders? A bunch of retards.

夹心DOVE：

Keep making a fuss and Big Xi [Jinping] will cancel the “one country, two systems” policy, and then you’ll be on your knees begging for mercy.

皓妈玟玟：

I’m a rational person, having never forwarded any of the previous posts about the Hong Kong vs. mainland conflict, but this post of besieging a little child and her mother, scaring the child into tears like this, truly~~truly~is too TM human scum. Those people who are besieging and filming, if you have the ability to shout so loudly and feel you are right in doing what you are doing, then why are you wearing face masks? Truly TM cowardly~

刘志豪358：

These young Hong Kongers are so poor they should be pitied, so lacking in ability that they can only blame the gods and accuse others. Look at us Chinese people, making tens of millions in our twenties, something I bet they couldn’t make over their entire lives! According to principle, we shouldn’t even bicker with them, but it’s just that we can’t put up with seeing them bully the mother-daughter pair like this! Hong Kong youths, if you have the ability/guts and just cause, go after your CY Leung, and have him seal the Hong Kong and mainland border. Otherwise, be good little boys and girls and watch us “have money, be headstrong” while you “have no money, are bitter cunts”.

小狗不可以吃那么多：

This is the first time I’ve heard the godly logic that buying someone’s goods is making someone’s life difficult. I’m floored.

海贼先森啊喂：

Roughly, the several Hong Kong youth at the beginning accused the mainland mother of smuggling. The woman opens her luggage, proving her innocence, says we’re all Chinese so why be like this, I’m not smuggling either… The youths say, we’re not Chinese, that she isn’t smuggling, but her compatriots smuggle, are stealing us Hong Kongers’ resources… Hehe, diu ni lou mou [Cantonese profanity]

Music__W：

Those so-called Hong Kongers insist on accusing that mother pulling a suitcase is a smuggler. The mother says she isn’t, so they begin besieging the mother-daughter pair, referring to themselves as Hong Kongers, not Chinese, accusing mainlanders of taking up their Hong Kong’s resources, stealing their things, taking up their school spots, telling mainlanders the get lost back to China… overall watching this just makes one hatch the impulse to beat these Hong Kongers to death…

灯下花：

When it comes to my homeland’s territory, I’ll go where I want to go, buy what I want to buy, as long as I am earning my money decently. If these Hong Kong cowards can’t survive in China, then quickly get lost. I plan on making a “I’m a mainlander” T-shirt and going to Hong Kong on independent travel [not part of a tour group], I’m not afraid of these punks.

五常大米计波：

Hong Kong should either be opened up completely or completely closed off, cutting water, gas, everything.

From Sina Weibo:

@Happy张江: So disappointed/saddened watching this online video, of anti-parallel trading [protesters/activists] insisting on accusing this mother-daughter pair of being parallel traders. [The mother] asks if they are Chinese, only for them to reply in unison that they aren’t, and cursing her with profanity…really shocking! Wearing face masks bullying women and children, this cannot be endured!!! http://t.cn/Rw1hrah

每天都在发白日夢：

If they want to protest us mainlanders, that’s fine, but do so harmoniously [civilly], support Hong Kong in stopping independent travel [to Hong Kong for mainlanders, without requiring being part of a tour group], and return peace and quiet to the Hong Kong people. At the same time, support stopping the Guangdong electricity grid in providing Hong Kong with electricity, stopping the Guangdong water supply in providing water, stopping the “Three Expresses” in providing Hong Kong with imported agricultural products, stopping the West-to-East Second Gas Pipeline in providing Hong Kong with gas, to return peace and quiet to the Hong Kong people. Then let’s see how niu you people are.

min-余孽-shenhua：

Why do they have sanitary towels on their faces?

Wwwanr：

Request the country/government to cancel the “one country, two systems” policy, so that going to HK in the future will be like going to the market, where we can go whenever we please, without some permit. Those wearing face masks attacking people, lock them all up, and sentenced to Africa.

The mainland has given Hong Kong too much. They are a dog that cannot be appeased. Best would be to not watch even Hong Kong films, a dog that has been fattened.

Caught on Film: Hong Kong Protester Verbally Abuses Mainland Tourists, Kicks Elderly’s Luggage

Mainland tourists pushing handcarts to a bus stop had fingers pointed in their faces and verbal abuse thrown at them. Some protesters kicked the handcarts of the mainland tourists then turned and immediately fled, leaving one elderly man at a loss for words.
