蝗虫？还是港怂？—— 陆港之间地域歧视问题之辩论
Since the Occupy Central movement in 2014 National holiday，HK local citizen take an action resently again.
On Feb 16, about 100 Hong Kong residents marched from the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry pier to Canton Road, a shopping street heavily frequented by tourists, including those from the mainland. The protesters referred to the tourists as "locusts" devouring Hong Kong's resources, calling the mainland visitors "shina", a derogatory term used by the Japanese to describe Chinese people after the 1895 Sino-Japanese War.
This is not the first time Hong Kong residents have expressed anger over mainland tourists. In 2012, a group of Hong Kong residents issued a full-page advertisement in a newspaper which depicted mainland tourists as a giant locust over the city's skyline, while a video of a shouting match between mainland visitors and locals on a train went viral.
Topic discussion reference :
1.Why HK local citizen always push mainland people away?
2.The HK goverment is thinking about the limitation of mainland tourists.Please put yourself in HK citizen/mainlanders' shoes to figure out the influence(pros and cons) of this policy.
3.Considered as a general problem between the locals and strangers in a city, what can be done to ease this tension?
话题讨论参考：
1.为什么香港人总是仇视大陆人？是他们的问题，还是我们的问题？
2.香港政府打算限制自由行人数，分别换位思考一下，从香港和大陆的角度分析利弊。
3.作为一种普遍性的地域歧视问题，你觉得应该怎么处理这种紧张关系?
