2022年4月24日 もう二度と通らない香港と中国本土間の越境5
9時過ぎの香港発フライトに乗るため、6時に羅湖口岸を通過した。
案の定、6時前には列ができており心配したが、殆どが日常的に越境する人達で外国人が少なく20分程で通過できた。
香港側の地下鉄は通学児童が多い。中国から香港に毎日通うようだ。
上水から香港空港までのバスは混雑で身動きが取れず、日本の通勤電車のようだった。
さすがに立ったままで高速道路を走るバスに乗るのは初めての経験だった。
さて、香港と中国・深圳間の越境方法を5回に分けて書いたが、もう口岸を越えることも香港に行くこともないだろう。
それは中国が国際的約束を反故にして力づくで香港を中国化してしまったからだ。好きな香港が失われるのは悲しい。
Never crossing the border between HK and mainland China anymore, April 24th, 2022
I passed the Luohu Kouan at 6 o'clock to catch a flight from Hong Kong after 9 o'clock.
Sure enough, I was worried that there was a line to cross the border before 6 o'clock,
but most of them were people who crossed the border on a daily basis, and there were few foreigners,
so I was able to pass in about 20 minutes. There were many school children on the subway on the Hong Kong side.
It seemed that they went from China to Hong Kong every day.
The bus from the Sheung Shui to Hong Kong Airport was so crowded that I couldn't move,
and it looked like a Japanese commuter train.
It was my first experience to take a bus driving on the highway while standing.
Well, I wrote the cross-border method between Hong Kong and China / Shenzhen in five parts,
but I will not cross the border or go to Hong Kong anymore.
That is because China has forced Hong Kong into China by violating its international promise.
It's sad that my favorite Hong Kong is lost.
