Really good entrepreneurs.

Yeah, so it is sad.

Yes, I would say that's definitely accurate that there's an element of goodbye to that.

So you're getting a little bit of CCP propaganda nonsense in force, but only a little bit.

They have international schools.

So they've got a Hong Kong international school, a

you know, various Brit schools are set up there.

So there's a restricted element, but anybody who goes to the regular day-to-day, which my protagonist does because he's a Caucasian, but he was basically raised as another Hong Konger.

Those people are getting the full bore, history, everything shoved down their throat.

And a lot of, I mean, one of the extraordinary thing about Hong Kong was a lot of quote unquote second rate people came out from Britain, but they seem to do very well.

So his father is one of those people who came out pretty late I mean they were still taking people from Britain as in the early 90s, and they were still having difficulties transitioning, you know, they'd only just started having Chinese offices 10 years before.

I mean it wasn't there it was it was called Asia's finest and.

So his father, who died when he was young, and left him in charge of his stepmother, who was Chinese.

So he was basically raised as a full Hong Konger, speaking, you know, properly speaking Mandarin and Cantonese.
