Dad showed an alternative in a few things. He showed an alternative to the news with Apple Daily, news that didn't have to cower to the government and didn't have to suck up to the elites. He also showed an alternative that you didn't have to bend your knee to China to be successful and to do well in business in Hong Kong. They didn't really like that. They didn't like someone who they were unable to control and unable to bend. That's what Dad was for the last 30 years.
As well, the people of Hong Kong have themselves shown that they truly love these values of freedom. I mean, two million people showed up for a pro-democracy protest. That was 20% to 30% of the Hong Kong population. Can we imagine that anywhere else? That would be absolutely crazy. But that was what Hong Kong was, and I think it's still in people's hearts. That is what they're cracking down on.
My father is an amalgamation of all these things—this stowaway who arrived in Hong Kong almost 60 years ago, who is now here fighting for his home and its freedoms.
