I painted these 7 years ago and what’s happening in Hong Kong reminded me of them. People of Hong Kong, keeping fighting for freedom, the rest of the world stands with you!
The last time I made a pro Hong Kong drawing, I got spammed by wumaos (Chinese government paid propaganda posters). They all say the same thing, that it’s a misunderstanding, that the people of Hong Kong actually love China, that the protestors are just thugs who want chaos. Some even sent me long ass essays on why China is so great in every way.
It’s funny because these wumaos used a VPN to visit all the social media sites that I post my art on. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube are all blocked in China. If China is so great, why are you wumaos breaking your beloved government’s law to yell at me?
I was born in China and I love China too, but I love China in the real way. True patriotism is not being afraid to criticize what’s wrong with your country so that it can become better. Blind patriotism is what allows dictators to get away with injustice.
If China had democracy and no censorship, then maybe Hong Kong wouldn’t be so against joining China.
