"This is Hong Kong, please stand up!"
The cold words of the Hong Kong media completely angered mainland tourists who traveled to Hong Kong.
Mainland tourists were directly posted on the Internet by Hong Kong media people because they sat on the subway for a while, causing heated discussions.
No quality, poor, no rules......
All kinds of labels are attached to the body, and the fire in the hearts of mainlanders is also ignited instantly, and you are scolded on the Internet.
What happened in Hong Kong during the National Day period that caused tension between mainland tourists and Hong Kong citizens?
Cultural differences
When you see the gorgeous fireworks rising over Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, the hard work of travel strategy is worth it.
Over the years, I don't know how many mainlanders have regarded Hong Kong as a tourist destination and have always wanted to witness the prosperity and beauty there.
Victoria Harbour usually has a grand fireworks display during major festivals, and this year's National Day is no exception, so it attracts many mainland tourists.
However, mainland tourists who fantasize about a cheerful trip are making a mistake after all.
Not only did they not receive a warm welcome, but they also had a lot of fire.
After watching the fireworks at midnight from the mainland, the exhaustion of more than ten hours made people feel miserable.
Looking at the crowded people on the subway, there is not a single seat, and some tired tourists sit on the ground to postpone the day's fatigue.
I didn't expect that it was such a simple behavior that did not disturb others but made Hong Kong people angry.
A large number of them in the mainland are not qualified, and it is rude and vulgar to sit directly on the ground.
"It's really backward, there are no rules."
"Isn't it dirty? It's disgusting that so many people have stepped on it and sat down. ”
"If you make the environment in Hong Kong worse, can you go back?"
It is not difficult to see from some people's comments that they are resistant to mainland tourists, and even hateful.
If a few netizens say this, forget it, but even influential media have come out to raise the fire.
"This is Hong Kong, can you please stand up?"
Although the rhetoric of this sentence is not as fierce as some individuals, the connotation is full of meaning.
"This is Hong Kong" not only separates Hong Kong from the mainland, but also has a sense of being on top, as if it is such a great place.
"Please stand up" seems to be a polite phrase, but combined with the first half of the sentence, it shows a sense of superiority and arrogance, and it seems to be a serious commanding tone.
Driven by some media, some Hong Kong citizens have intensified their complaints about mainland tourists.
Among these populations, the quality of mainland tourists who are pouring in is very low, and they crowd the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, which really affects the appearance of the city.
One by one, the pots were buckled on their heads, and mainland tourists also fired back with all their firepower.
Their biggest puzzle is why they didn't investigate, and they thought that it was a mainland tourist sitting on the ground.
"Isn't it consciously superior to others and shooting mainlanders as targets?"
In fact, there are some people in Hong Kong who have always been prejudiced against mainlanders, and they look down on mainlanders and think that the mainland is backward and inferior.
Mainlanders who come to Hong Kong, whether they are working or doing business, are like asking for food in their eyes.
So where do they get their sense of superiority, and why do they look down on mainlanders?
Regarding this point, perhaps the comments of the well-known screenwriter Wang Shuo can be used as a reference.
"They feel that they are very foreign, and the mainlanders are very earthy."
"To be a second-class citizen in front of the United Kingdom, you can only pretend to be a nobleman in front of the mainlanders."
After this incident, many mainland netizens accused Hong Kong people of "double standards", and if foreigners did this, they would definitely not scold them for being unqualified.
Something similar happened many years ago when David Beckham took his children shopping in Hong Kong, where his son urinated on the street in a hurry.
As a result, Hong Kong citizens not only did not accuse, but also rushed to praise him for his cuteness and true temperament, and then reflected on why there are so few public toilets in Hong Kong.
At that time, the headline of the media was also "Lack of mobile toilets makes Hong Kong people lose face", which was reasonable.
The media did not reflect on why the tourists did not have a seat to sit and why they sat on the ground, but instead criticized from above and "invited" people to stand up.
A comparison between the two shows that this is not a cultural difference, but a question of tolerance or intolerance.
In the mainland, buying and selling on the subway is not allowed, but when I saw my grandfather who worked hard to sell vegetables on the subway with a basket on his back, there were still people who couldn't bear to buy his vegetables from hard work.
At this time, the reaction of the people around him was not that he violated the subway rules, but that he felt warmth, which was a kind of tolerance.
Hong Kong was once lost, but after returning to the embrace of the motherland, it retained its cultural identity.
It's more cosmopolitan, but it seems to be less "human" to mainlanders.
In fact, some official staff in Hong Kong have been working hard to promote interaction and strengthen relations between the two places.
But this is a long-term process, and they obviously don't have as much experience in this area as they do in the mainland.
If you look at the practices of the mainlanders, you can see that the pattern of Hong Kong people is still too small.
Mainlanders are welcome
With the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, people on both sides of the strait have become closer, and Hong Kong people have come to the mainland more, especially in Shenzhen recently.
When it comes to holidays, Shenzhen's shopping malls and various snack streets are crowded with Hong Kong people.
Even Hong Kong people can't help but sigh, "When I go to Shenzhen, I will be a Hong Kong person in three steps."
However, in the face of the surge of outsiders, Shenzhen did not find fault with "chasing tourists" like Hong Kong, but tried to "attract tourists".
Last year, Shenzhen placed customized travel guide maps for Hong Kong tourists at major ports, and also arranged volunteers to explain.
For the convenience of Hong Kong people, it is also intimately written in traditional characters.
Because cross-strait communications are not interoperable, Shenzhen Telecom has also set up special service points in places where Hong Kong people gather to provide communication services for them, and even the staff members are proficient in Cantonese.
In Futian, Luohu and other ports where there are more people passing through customs, there are even special shopping buses, and Hong Kong people can take these buses to get to the places they want to go as soon as they leave the customs.
Because it is too convenient and inexpensive, Hong Kong people have gone to the mainland in the past two years, occupying the major markets in Shenzhen.
The Shenzhen subway was already tight, but when faced with an average of more than 450,000 Hong Kong people a day, no one accused Hong Kong people of encroaching on their space, let alone "invited" them to stand up.
Because of their arrival, many stores that are about to close down in Shenzhen have also been brought back to life.
It can be said that this is a great thing that can not only boost the economy, but also pull in relations.
However, Hong Kong, whose tourism industry is gradually declining, still puts on a proud posture.
Since many years ago, it seems that many Hong Kong people have treated them differently, blowing their beards and glaring at the time they hear that guests speak Mandarin.
is obviously a service staff, but he is noble like a royal family, and he doesn't know how he got used to it.
Of course, there are also many locals who report that their waiters there are not only like outsiders, but also arrogant to Hong Kong locals.
Perhaps it is this incorrect service attitude that has caused Hong Kong's tourism industry to gradually shrink and close many stores.
After attracting a large number of Hong Kong people to the mainland, Hong Kong has also been trying to find ways to get mainlanders to come and try to restore its former prosperity.
This year's New Year's Day fireworks show in Victoria Harbour attracted nearly 230,000 visitors.
It's a pity that I didn't grasp the opportunity, and many mainland tourists were stranded that night.
Because all the ports where you can take the subway are closed, only the ports where you can pick up and drop off by buses remain.
And because there are not enough buses, coupled with the large number of people, the customs clearance speed is slow.
It is not uncommon to quarrel in line, call the police, and cry children.
Although the staff in Hong Kong were prepared, it was clear that they were not well prepared and did not have an adequate emergency plan.
It is difficult for Hong Kong to achieve perfection overnight and regain its former glory.
Similarly, the prejudice of some Hong Kong people against the mainland will not disappear overnight.
However, it is believed that with the deepening of cross-strait exchanges and exchanges, they will put aside their prejudices and face up to the rapid development of the hinterland.
epilogue
There are many rights and wrongs in places with many people, and it is inevitable that you will encounter various frictions when you go out to travel.
A little more tolerance will reduce a lot of trouble, and it will also give you a good mood.
What do you think of the incident in which Hong Kong people are dissatisfied with the mainlanders' "sitting on the ground"?
