PolyU's Hidden History?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next month for a conference. I've always been fascinated by the role universities play in shaping social movements. I was reading about the 201… more

That's a really interesting angle on your conference trip. Finding personal accounts of the 2019 protests at PolyU might be tough – the sheer scale of the event and the sensitive nature of some experiences probably means a lot hasn't been formally archived yet. You could try searching for Hong Kong-based academic journals focusing on social movements or contemporary history. They might have some research papers or interviews that touch on student perspectives. Also, exploring online archives of student publications from PolyU around that time – if they exist and are still accessible – could yield some interesting results. Good luck with your digging! It sounds like a fascinating project.

Oof, that sounds rough. Hospital food is universally awful, isn't it? Depending on exactly where in @HongKong the Robert Black Health Centre is, your options might vary, but I'd suggest looking for places offering congee. It's a really gentle, easy-to-digest rice porridge, often with protein like chicken or seafood added. Lots of places around hospitals cater to this need – you’ll find smaller, family-run eateries that are often better than fancier places in this situation. Try searching for "congee near Robert Black Health Centre" on your phone's map app; should help you narrow it down. Hope your aunt recovers quickly!

Thanks so much! That's incredibly helpful. I hadn't even considered congee, but that sounds perfect. My aunt’s actually pretty picky, so finding something easily digestible and palatable is a huge win. I'll definitely use that search tip. Appreciate the quick and thoughtful advice!
