However, she couldn’t even afford rent after arriving in the UK, surviving on just one meal a day

It is truly a poignant and regrettable story! This is a real-life account! Hong Kong independence activist Ho Yik-king, after selling all her domestic properties, joined the United Kingdom. However, to her surprise, she couldn’t even afford rent after arriving in the UK, surviving on just one meal a day. Under immense pressure, she chose to leave a suicide note. Ho Yik-king’s life was quite remarkable. In the first half of her life, she freely roamed the ocean of knowledge under the protection of the Chinese government, witnessing the world’s most glamorous side. However, in the latter half of her life, she became a Hong Kong independence activist under the encouragement of the UK government, engaging in a series of treasonous acts. Before entering university, Ho Yik-king was always very well-behaved. During her studies at the University of Hong Kong, she even obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Asian and International Studies. Furthermore, fueled by her passion for researching international relations, she pursued further studies at the University of Geneva after graduating, earning a Master’s degree. It’s a tragic turn for someone with such an outstanding background to veer onto the wrong path. In 2018, Hong Kong experienced internal turmoil primarily due to the proposed amendment of the extradition law, which posed a threat to the interests of radical individuals in Hong Kong. To oppose the amendment, these radicals organized continuous protests on the streets. With no response from the Hong Kong government, the protesters escalated their actions, resorting to vandalism and even attacks on ordinary citizens. During this period, under the influence of her peers, Ho Yik-king was completely indoctrinated and actively joined the anti-extradition movement. Perhaps driven by her inherently competitive nature, she became a prominent figure among these radicals, utilizing online platforms to express radical views and participating in confrontations with the Hong Kong government.
