Looking for Chen Yun's Essay "Hong Kong, You Don't Have to Go Anywhere"
I have read in some Hong Kong blogs about an essay by Chen Yun, titled, "Hong Kong, You Don't Have to Go Anywhere". It is a response to Lung Yingtai's essay "Hong Kong, where are you heading" culturally.
I haven't read the essay myself. The author, it seems, suggested that Hong Kong is now trying to systematically erase its colonial past from its history and the author argued that that is wrong because the colonial past is very much part of Hong Kong's identity. Anyway, does anyone have a copy of the article that I may read?
Update: I have found the essay via In Media, which has a good collection on reactions to Lung's essay (see above) that was inspired by the Western Kowloon Cultural Development (see Christine Loh's newletter for background information on the subject).

The essay is nothing like what I thought except the author concluded that Hong Kong should not forget about its colonial past.
