>>This afternoon I returned to the office to do some work and I saw your messages. Thanks for your messages. If there are any new developments, I will let you know. A lot of Hong Kong people were angry about the Tienanmen Square event but people in the future will be able to tell from history whether the event was right or not.

>>>>Never mind. But, please remind we were no longer to "wear" LONG TAILS on our head for a hunder years. (One of my British friend said that before he came to Hong Kong, he thought Hong Kong people had long tails on their heads!?)
>>>>This is a new era for Hong Kong people, but most of them MAY NOT USE TO the new Government. I knew that the foreign news are telling some "terrible" stories but not the truth.
>>>>Before 1 July 97, UK APPOINTED a Governor to HK. The members of "Real Power Centre" - Executive Council were APPOINTED by HK Governor. We didn't have any right to choose our leader and our policy. At that moment, I didn't think we have much democracy.
>>>>I believe "Tomorrow is better" and "Hong Kong people is not a chicken". I am appreciate of your kindness. Please don't be worry about us.
>>>>From 28 June to 2 July is our holiday, I will not go back to office until 3 July. Therefore, I may not receive your messages during the days, but I still keep close contact to you and my friends in UT with internet (How wonderful of internet!). If I get the latest news, I will put them in UT.

>>>>>>From TV news, I was surprised that some American didn't know Hong Kong is part of China. Some of them thought that Hong Kong was part of Japan (actually, Hong Kong never be a part of Japan in the history). Please remaind that Hong Kong is part of China. I am a Chinese now.

>>>Tienamen Square (sp?) still rings very loud here in America. As soon as the ceromonies are over 4,000+ Chinese troops will be in Hong Kong. I am just a little concerned anyone feels the need for such fire power in such a small peaceful place. Anyway, best of luch & definitely stay in touch (also hope internet will still be available to you).

>Yes please keep in touch. If you go silent we will think Internet access is lost which will not be good. But on a bright side, it will be nice to see how Hong Kong will adapt to being "truly" Chinese again.

Hello,
I think this is a great way to communicate with people all over the world with the same background / interests... Please keep telling how your live is changing because of the new rules. In newspapers we can read several things, but news is best from first hand....

Here is another one like 'your' LONG TAILS: Not all the Dutch are wearing woodenshoes, not everybody is living in a windmill, and NO, we are not all using / dealing drugs...

Please keep us informed...
Greetings,
Jean-Pierre
