Was about to leave home to meet friends for dinner when I spotted the bright full moon rising from Kowloon Peak. It reminded me that I had returned to this deteriorating city for one full month.
Life seems to be returning to what it used to be before the 3-month long summer vacation in Canada. But deep inside I feel quite lost after the trip. I feel like I need to move back to Canada because that’s the place where I can find freedom, human rights, justice, and a future. But what will I do when I move back to Canada? Couldn’t I do the same thing in HK? Why make the drastic move to return to the country I had left 13 years ago when I don’t even know what I’ll be doing there?
Had been lacking motivation and purpose to work after returning to HK. But after meeting and chatting with friends, my energy level seems to be picking up slightly. I feel like I can still offer the gift God has given me to make others’ lives better even though the city is in a state of deterioration under an authoritarian regime.
May God continue to guide my way, one day at a time. 🙏🏻
