I set roadblocks.” Seven years ago, this would not be something a typical Hong Kong citizen could say truthfully. However, in 2014, everything changed.

If you are musical, compose a new one, and write down your composition; if you can’t do that, choose a new tune and amend the words as required. Teach the song to the others you share a bathroom with.
