I took so much for granted for years this view from my office window in Hong Kong, but after a year in Beijing working from home and now sitting at my desk again looking out at the same view, I almost cried. Just the bright sunshine itself is a blessing, plus the symbolic meaning of Court of Final Appeal and the access to any information on the Internet without having to pay for tricks! The spirit of Hong Kong shining through the forest of concrete now speaks to me more than ever before. I hope it doesn't get dimmed by the overwhelming smog from the north.
