Description

“A lot of my friends that I grew up with, that I met during my activism, a lot of them are either in jail or they're in exile,” says Frances Hui. She joined the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong when she was only 14 years old. Now she’s living in exile in the United States.While the Chinese regime is “putting millions of Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps, when they are also doing that to Tibetans, when they're also putting thousands of Hong Kongers in jail, they realize none of these human rights abuses comes [at] any cost … That bar for accountability keeps getting lower and lower,” Ms. Hui says.In this episode, we discuss her remarkable story, the Chinese regime’s attempts to brainwash people and rewrite history, and her hopes and fears for her city.“I was fortunate enough that I experienced that golden era of Hong Kong. I got to be engaged in civil society. I [could] go to the streets and fight for my own freedom … But a lot of the young people now ... they don't get to grow up in that environment,” Ms. Hui says. “We are going to have a generation that [doesn't] know what's right or wrong.”
