Mainland tourist on a Hong Kong bus.
Alipay won’t go through.
Fare: HK$5.10.
Instead of asking for help, she starts screaming that Hong Kong is “backward,” that she is “not broke,” and that the man who told her to pay is “a disgrace to Chinese people.”
A woman still paid for her.
Imagine if she had just said “sorry, my Alipay isn’t working.” Someone would have tapped Octopus in three seconds.
The fare was never the problem. The attitude was.
On the eve of the 37th anniversary of the #TiananmenSquareMassacre, Hong Kong Watch stands in solidarity with pro-democracy activists in #HongKong and around the world in commemorating #JuneFourth.
As our Chair @benedictrogers says, we must ensure that the truth prevails, and that the courage and sacrifice of those who lost their lives in pursuit of democracy are never forgotten.
