Is Hongville a sign of things to come in Hong Kong?

I came across a post on HKGolden, around the time when protests against national education in Hong Kong was in full swing. It was written as a fiction, but so many real life topics, incidents and phenomenons have been covered, and knowing the current state of things in mainland China, even the fictional or future part of the essay sounds plausible.

It was so insightful I decided to attempt a translation for sharing. Feel free to pass this along. Translation after first break. Some references, copyright terms and source after the translation.

Do you want to see Hong Kong becoming the Hongville thus described? I don't. If you do not come out, speak out, and take a stand against things you think are wrong now, while you still can, it may be too late when you personally become subject of these wrongs.

是他也是你和我 － 你想香港變成咁嗎?

看見中國今天的模樣，真的不想見到香港淪為另一個中國城市。

昨天在香港高登讀到一篇很有意思的文章，彷彿揭示了香港的未來。但這種未來是你想見到，香港的未來嗎？老實說，這不是我想見到的未來。各位，趁還可以的時候，要出來表達自己的聲音，不合理的要堅決反對。不要沉默，不然到一切已成定局時，你我他都無力回天。
