Just past Sunday (November 13)At the scene of the international competition, the Land Rugby Series of the Asian Seven Rugby Series sounded the iconic songs in the 2019 anti -repair campaign in Hong Kong to return to Hong Kong.
It is surprising that this fighting song is played in the national anthem playback link in the competition, accompanied by the flag -raising ceremony of the flag of the white bauhinia area of the Hong Kong Special Economic Zone.On the same day, Hong Kong athletes were guests in Incheon, South Korea to play in the final of the second stop.The online video shows that the Hong Kong Rugby team members and Korean athletes stood together and watched the district flag rising, and heard that they would return to Hong Kong to be expressionless.
The Seven Asian Rugby Series is a international seven -person men's rugby competition held in the Asian region. It has been held on a regular basis since 2009.Hong Kong is a strong brigade in this event. Since its hosting, it has won four championships.The organizer of this event is South Korea.
Anti -repair songs sounded in international competitions, or in the important national anthem broadcasting session, which annoyed the Hong Kong government.Chen Guoji, the director of the Hong Kong Department of Administration, took the initiative to meet the Consul General in South Korea in Hong Kong, asking the other party to investigate the incident and responsibility.The institutional organization organized citizen forces to go to the South Korean Consulate General in Hong Kong to protest, hoping that the South Korean government would pay attention to incidents.
A spokesman for the Hong Kong Government said: "Chinese national anthem is a symbol of our country. The organizer has the responsibility to ensure that our national anthem is respected."dissatisfied.
The statement of the South Korean organizer and the Hong Kong Government did not match
The public relations representatives of the Korean Rugby Alliance explained that the participating teams were required to submit the national anthem for playback, but no can be able to be able to be ableGet the national anthem version provided by the Hong Kong team.As a result, the staff searched for the "The Hong Kong National Anthem" on Google, and downloaded a top song to return to Hong Kong.
Subsequently, although the Korean Rugby League received the notice of the Asian Rugby Federation, the event should be played by the Chinese national anthem instead of the "Hong Kong National Anthem", but the staff did not delete the wrong song, which caused the wrong to broadcast the error during the start of the game."National anthem".
Although the Hong Kong government confirmed that "the incident was caused by the person of a local organizer's junior personnel." HoweverConsistent.According to a press release issued by the Hong Kong Government on Monday (14th), the Asian Rugby Federation confirmed that the national anthem recording submitted by the coaches of the Hong Kong team was correct.
Although the details are different, the organizer will make it difficult for the organizer to play the wrong national anthem.The Asian Rugby Federation issued a statement on the official website on Monday that the Asian Rugby Federation and the Korean Rugby Alliance were in this matter to make sincere apologies to the Hong Kong Rugby League, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Central Government of China.
The Asian Rugby Association introduced that after the game, before the award ceremony, the organizer apologized publicly in Korean and English bilingual in the stadium. Hong Kong athletes ranked again, and the on -site charges were played on the scene.The Asian Rugby Federation has already won the version of the wrong national anthem on its own social media, edited the correct national anthem and replaced it.
I wish Rongguang to return to Hong Kong's influence
However, although the social media platform of the Asian Rugby Federation has changed videos, most of the Internet spread on the Internet.Search for the keywords of "Seven Rugby of Asia" in YouTube. The top three rankings are all reports of the incident.
The reason why the incident can cause such a big response is not only because of the wrong Chinese national anthem, but also because they are willing to return to Hong Kong.This song is well -known in Hong Kong and contains strong political information, which makes the incident more sensitive.
I hope that Rongguang returns to Hong Kong in many of the great anti -repair regular rally, becoming one of the symbols of movement.The lyrics wrote: "Dawn comes, to recover, this Hong Kong. Children of peers are justice, the revolution of the times. Pray that democracy and freedom are immortal."It was announced in 2020 that the anti -repair slogan of the Hong Kong National Security Law was announced.
This song has been adapted into multiple "supporting police" (supporting Hong Kong police) versions.The people are also published by the People's Daily and the Chinese Communist Youth League on Weibo.
Supporters of the Repair Movement described that it is willing to return to Hong Kong to Hong Kong's "informal" national anthem.Currently searching for "Hong Kong Anthem" in Chinese and English on Google, all of which appear in the first place are the Wikipedia entry that willing to return to Hong Kong.From this point of view, South Korean organizers said that the staff's wrong song seemed to be a possible situation.
Is it a conspiracy or omissions?
For this incident, some people think that things are strange, and some people accept the interpretation of South Korean organizers and believe that it is the omissions of the staff.
Tang Jiazheng, member of the Hong Kong Executive Council, believes that the incident is not unprepared. "In other words, it is bound to be a behavior of criminal intent."He said that although the cause of the incident was a staff member in South Korea, people who played songs could not be ruled out in Hong Kong.
Liu Zhaojia, vice chairman of the China National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association, believes that the incident is not the intention of the Korean government or organizer, but the organizer has missed the frontline staff of the organizers. "Most people will not pay special attention to these employees."
In order to avoid similar incidents, Wang Minchao, Secretary -General of the Olympic Committee of the Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee, said that he will meet with Yang Runxiong, director of the Hong Kong Cultural and Tourism Bureau to discuss improvement work.What should I react.He also suggested that all the leaders had to confirm whether the flag and national anthem were correct with the organizer before the game.
Others believe that Google has indirectly brewed the incident in the sequence of the entry, and the results of the search engine should be adjusted.However, industry experts say that this operation is very difficult.Fang Baoqiao, the honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Technology, pointed out that although the Hong Kong government may require Google to delete search records containing real content, Google cannot control the content of the discussion area or website.
Fang Baoqiao said that Hong Kong people and foreign people have commented on the songs of Hong Kong to return to Hong Kong. How can they delete them one by one?
The outbreak of the Anti -Repair Movement has passed for more than three years.After Hong Kong society was promulgated in the National Security Law, it has been calm for a long time.However, as many scholars and observer are reminded, the calmness of the surface does not mean that the undercurrent has disappeared, and this movement will still show its sense of presence from time to time.
