In the summer of 1990, 62,000 Hong Kong people chose to flee the city because of the violent crackdown on student protesters at Tiananmen Square the previous year. Now once again, people in Hong Kong were faced with the dilemma: to emigrate or to stay.
The writer discusses China before and since Tiananmen, abandoned enemy spies, and how solidarity will build a nation.
