Recently, a mainland female tourist encountered abuse by a Hong Kong sanitation worker while traveling in Hong Kong, which attracted widespread attention. According to the revelations, the sanitation worker even referred to the mainland female tourist as a "chicken" and claimed that she was not afraid of complaints and refused to apologize to her.
Such an incident is not only a person's extreme remarks, but also reflects a prejudice and discrimination against mainland tourists in Hong Kong society. Although Hong Kong is a prosperous city, there are still some people in the city who are hostile and prejudiced against outsiders.
In Hong Kong, this bias is not only against mainlanders, but also against other outsiders. For example, immigrants from Southeast Asia are discriminated against and excluded by some people because of their different languages and cultures. These people's prejudices against outsiders are not much different from what exists in many cities around the world.
However, as an international city, Hong Kong should not allow this to happen. The development of cities cannot rely solely on local people, but needs to attract more outsiders. Although Hong Kong is already a very prosperous city, if it cannot accept people from outside, the city will only become more closed and narrow.
We need to realize that Hong Kong has become part of China. We need to respect the culture and traditions of the people of Hong Kong, but in this era of internationalization, Hong Kong also needs to become more inclusive and open like other cities around the world. If Hong Kong is not able to do this, then future development may be greatly limited.
In general, any ideas of intolerance and discrimination should not exist in an international city like Hong Kong. We should respect everyone's culture and background and pursue a more just and equal society. I hope that the people of Hong Kong can make the right choice to make this city a better and more inclusive place.
