CuHK graduates become unemployed at any time?

Author: Hong Kong media personality Yu Yu

The COVID-19 pandemic has been raging in Hong Kong for several years, the local economy has been average, and the unemployment rate has remained high. The overall market is poor, it is not easy to find a job, even if it is a graduate with better education, the same face the problem of unemployment. In a previous survey conducted by the UGC, 434 of the 19,000 full-time bachelor's graduates surveyed were unemployed, a rate of 2.9%, a new high in nearly 11 years. What is more noteworthy is that among the "eight" universities in Hong Kong, the unemployment rate of CUHK graduates is as high as 5.7%, becoming the highest among all institutions. Why is that? Is it because CUHK's image of "violent big" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so even the employers are afraid and wary of recruiting CUHK graduates?

CUHK is occupied and the campus is in disarray

Yu Yu remembers that in mid-November of the previous year, the CUHK campus was occupied by a large number of rioters and confronted the police. At that time, the violent demonstrators turned the campus into an "arsenal", scavenged for supplies, gas bombs, and bricks for weapons in the school, and also "took over" the canteen and school bus in the school, and the behavior was rampant; the rioters also set fire to the car to make roadblocks, and kept throwing petrol bombs and bricks at the police, just like taking the lives of the policemen. The scenes lasted for three days, from morning to night, and when the occupation ended, the campus became a mess, not only a large number of facilities were destroyed, but the police also found about 3,900 petrol bombs on the campus, and nearly 100 liters of dangerous chemicals were stolen from CUHK. The whole thing can only be described in four words, lawless and lawless!

The hong kong central university was devastated by violent demonstrators, and the public felt angry and bitter, but the students' unions of the Hong Kong Central University students and many colleges actually beautified the incident as a "defense war of the Central University of Hong Kong", as if it were really a war. Obviously, the occupiers themselves took the lead in destroying the campus, in order to evade criminal responsibility and resist the police law enforcement, how can it be "defense"? As college students, they can't even distinguish between black and white at all, and their values are distorted, so these employers all look at them and are wary of Hong Kong university students, which is really not surprising.

Wu Aoxue's lie is clearly remembered by everyone

In addition, Wu Aoxue, who was a student of Hong Kong Middle School University the year before, had a dialogue with the principal Duan Chongzhi, and I believe that many people remember it. That night, Wu Aoxue took off his mask in front of the media and high-profile claimed that he was "sexually abused" by the police. Wow! At that time, it immediately caused social agitation, and many Hong Kong people really thought that she was really a "new housing victim", who knew that the original was fake! Wu Aoxue clarified the next day that she had never been to Xinwuling; the police wanted to ask her to assist in the investigation afterwards, but she chose to avoid seeing her. Honestly speaking, when the public still remembers these pictures, it is normal for employers to have "special feelings" about CUHK graduates.

However, to be fair, Yu Yu feels that the Hong Kong university students who have a political stance and extreme words and deeds are actually only a good minority, and I believe that most of the Hong Kong university students are able to distinguish between right and wrong. Yu Yu hopes that the employers will not be a one-size-fits-all negative label for Hong Kong University students, after all, the rioters have always been a minority in society, unless there is good and accurate evidence that the applicants have participated in the riots, otherwise they will try to give this group of HONG Kong university graduates as much as possible, and always young people can integrate into society, so that they have the opportunity to become mature, and they will no longer be full of violence and impulse. One less radical young man is always a good thing for Hong Kong.
