Lack of humbleness



The gentleman in this video clip comes from mainland China. His comment on Hong Kong in the video makes Hong Kong angry. Most of comments in this video shows the anger of Hong Kong people.

I try to tranlsate the words of mainland gentleman to English. He said that Hong Kong was game over without the preferential policy of Beijing.

In the beginning of China economic reform, many Hong Kong people invested in China, and introduced the knowledge and business network to China. This is an important key of China success. Without Hong Kong under British colonial rule, no one think China could reform its economy as fast as today. The arrogance of Chinese people hurts Hong Kong people loyalty towards China.

Chinese is lack of humbleness. This may causes many troubles in foreseeable future. Tibetan, HongKonger and Taiwanese all are the victim of Chinese arrogance.

humble is just an exalted term that people would like to adopt but not practice. ironic though it is one of the core values that we, chinese, believe that a man should possess.

kongers have been in these shoes. and now we are taking the blame. but i guess this is a culprit we all fall easily -- the former tw president? us? i donno about tibetans but, it is clear that we are humans so we are just similarly vulnerable in face of lacking humbleness while memories decay...

Cheryl,
On the contrary, humbleness is a sign of confidence.
