Let Hong Kong be Hong Kong: Listen to Old Polish People — they carry important lessons in their memories
I have said it more than one hundred times in Hong Kong while on air, or in writing: STUDY POLAND.
Invaluable lessons rest in the memories of old Polish people. Find them. Ask them.
There was a time when Poland was “Hong Kong,” 100x worse. Far worse. Poland was in epic pain.
Bodies crushed by Nazis and Communists.
Poles would say, so long as one Pole lives, Poland never dies. Bread and Freedom! The Polish spirit is legendary.
And now Poland is free because they are smart, strong, patient, resilient. Like Hong Kongers.
The odds were all against Poland. They had no chance. But they won anyway.
STUDY POLAND.
Find old Polish men and women and take them to dinner and ask, and listen.
They had no chance. But they won anyway.
