The Hong Kong society is known for its diversity in public opinions. However, the overwhelming opinion right now is that Hong Kong shall not continue to fall like this. This is the heartfelt demand of most Hong Kong citizens, including the “silent majority”. More and more Hong Kong citizens have stepped up and said no to violence. These converging public opinions will become the sturdiest shield against the violence and protecting the rule of law. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road Initiative are providing Hong Kong with broader space and more opportunities of development. The priority of Hong Kong citizens is to avoid being fixed on the political disputes and go all out for development, building and safeguarding their home. The brilliant Pearl of the Orient will only shine in the sunlight of peace and stability.

　　Just like the lyrics of the popular song in Hong Kong, Below the Lion Rock, “We should leave our differences behind and let go of the conflicts we have. As one we can strive to write down the timeless story of our home”. I believe that Hong Kong, weathering the storm, will remain united, stable and aspirant, and will continue its century-long glories. The Pearl of the Orient will shine again.
