Hong Kong won’t see a bright future by constantly looking to its past

The article discusses the evolving relationship between Hong Kong and its historical context, particularly in relation to the 1997 handover. It highlights recent events such as public interest in visiting the People's Liberation Army's naval vessels in Hong Kong, contrasting them with the global attention surrounding the initial military presence in 1997. The author argues that while reflecting on the past is natural, especially after significant transitions, Hong Kong now needs to focus on its future rather than continuously comparing itself to its history. This shift is seen as necessary for the city to define its trajectory over the next 29 years.
