Renowned scholar of Chinese thought Yu Ying-shih passed away at 91
Renowned scholar of Chinese thought, Yu Ying-shih passed away on 1 August 2021 at the age of 91. Since 1950s, Yu had published nearly 60 books and 400 thesis in both English and Chinese. He was also interviewed by Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwan media on heated political issues for many times, in which he was vocal about his stance on human rights and democratic development.
In remembrance of Yu, Dr Chow Po Chung, a Hong Kong Philosopher, shared on his facebook about Yu’s view on Hong Kong’s current predicament.
"Hong Kong is moving in the opposite direction to democratic freedoms. I read about the situation in Hong Kong on New York Times, television and social media. It is probably not easy to change in a short period of time.
But I have always believed that civilization cannot be controlled by a few self-serving people in the long run. Hong Kong has long been enjoying freedom ever since 1843, never being ruled by an authoritarian.
Given Hong Kong people’s high awareness, they will not be slaved or become obedient. But one’s determination to fight is the essence and one must not give up."
