Its a sad state of affairs in China and HK, infact most of that side is fucked. I often watch Laowhy88 and Serpenza on the Odysee platform and i am discongusted at what my home as become. I also catch up with HK news and also day to day happenings via Hong Kong's RTHK podcast "Free As The Wind".
I totally understand your mindset and maybe coming back to England for a spell is a good thing. Dust off. Re-caliberate. Reload. Re-engage. Look into countries to set roots in (for me, Thailand, Mexico, South America, even in the European Balkans - I've heard good things regarding real estate and the cash economy still going strong there)
Get outta that shit hole China man, them mainland Chinese are another breed of savages. I know its getting very dangerous there.
Anyway if you have time, this one's for you...a blog post on hope
May the spirit of magic be with you always my friend. If you ever come back to England, let me know. I'm looking at wild camping at the Yew Forest in Kent, so mayhaps we can meet up?
