“I don’t blame you if you can’t speak Cantonese and write traditional character. Why do you want to ban us?? Do you know that this is an act of heritage destruction? Do you want that only Japan and Korea can use traditional character??? I really want to know the intention behind the ban. You don’t speak it? You can’t understand it? Therefore you are afraid of it? Get lost! Loser!” - Paul Wong, a band member of Beyond

Support Cantonese Protest in Hong Kong?

A man painted “頂硬上” (Hit the hard), which was a chant used by Cantonese coolie in the past and also in last year Guangzhou’s Cantonese protest, on the intersection between Waterloo 窩打老道 and Cornwall 歌和老街 in Kowloon Tong.

However, the person made a mistake on the third stroke of 頂 and it becomes 項…lol
