Hong Kong Chief Executive 香港特首(特區行政長官官)

The story follows the end of the first term of the first fully elected HKCE as he is preparing
for his re-election campaign. There are several issues he is fighting and under pressure on:

-education reform, people ask why his kids are not in public school, but expensive inter-
national school.
- health care

He is shown to be a person of value but there wasn't much he could do.

He starts this speech in a rally, "This is your home, your island, what will you do for it? I hear
you that you want change. We need to change, I need your support, support me to change. Together, we can do
it! We need to change the society. How do we do that? Start with yourself, change the way you
think. Think about others, reach out to your neighbours, reach out to your community. Help
those who have less. Get in touch with your society. We can't do it alone, we need to do it
together. This is our home, let's make it better for our children and their children."

RTHK is still here. Class size is smaller. The HKCE is carrying out education reform and political
reform. He has body guards from the central government.

He talks to superman Lee. He carries out bold economic plan and West Kowloon Cultural District
project is finally getting started. He talks to both the business and the democratic sectors.
He greets his supporter from a car.

He deals with questioning from legislative councilors, especially from Long Hair.

The film shows some of the insides of politics, and what actually goes on.

Neighbours

I thought of this story as I was walking home (pretty tire) and this man from one side of the road was greeting and waving his arms to his neighbour across the road. 

The house next to his neighbor across was getting demolished. 

And i though of a piece in which a man in a house has all his neighboring leaving or dying with the houses bought up to be demolished to build bigger houses with small yards which the Chinese like a lot. and his White neighbors transform into Asians. 

He gets angry, disappointed, blame the new comers and has a hard time adjusting to his new neighbor which i a family of Chinese who bought the old house next to his, demolished it and built a 2 stories house over shadowing his.
