November 6, Wu Xu Month, Jia Shen Day

Hong Kong Morning

Today in Hong Kong, there will be brief periods of sunshine, with one or two rain showers in the morning and evening. The temperature in urban areas will range from 25°C to 29°C, with a light breeze. Later, it will gradually shift to an easterly to northeasterly wind at level 4 to 5. Tonight, there will be occasional strong winds offshore (level 6), with relative humidity around 70% to 90%. As a strong northeast monsoon gradually reaches the coastal areas of Guangdong, the wind will noticeably strengthen tonight. Residents are reminded to take an umbrella when going out!

Health Tips

Tomorrow marks the “Beginning of Winter,” one of the 24 solar terms, and with the arrival of the northeast monsoon, the mornings and evenings will be cool and the temperature difference between day and night will start to widen. This time of year is particularly prone to throat dryness and bronchial discomfort. Residents may consider making a soup with codonopsis root, yuchun pear, and lily with lean meat tonight or brew a cup of dried longan and tangerine peel water to moisten the lungs, generate body fluids, resolve phlegm, and relieve cough. As the saying goes, “nourish yin in autumn and winter,” friends who return home early and late should remember to carry a light windbreaker to avoid sudden changes in temperature!

Traffic Reminder

Due to the preliminary facility setup for weekend sports events, Expo Road in Wan Chai (between Legislative Council Road and the middle of Expo Road) is currently temporarily closed until Sunday night. Vehicles heading to the exhibition area should pay attention to detours. Additionally, the Central to Mid-levels escalator system will undergo regular maintenance from 8 PM to 10:45 PM tonight, and services will be suspended in the section between Molin Temple Street and Robinson Road. Residents returning home at night should pay attention to on-site instructions and plan their trips in advance!

🧑‍⚖️John Lee (Chief Executive): “Joshua Wong, Lester Shum, and their gang are the culprits destroying Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.”

The Joshua Wong case was sentenced in Hong Kong on the 5th. Chief Executive John Lee stated that Joshua Wong, Lester Shum, and their gang are the culprits destroying Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. He severely criticized Joshua Wong for repeatedly breaking the law and disregarding it, from obstructing the SAR government's promotion of national education to inciting students to break the law, to advocating “Hong Kong independence,” and playing a role in the 2019 “black violence” and Hong Kong version of the “color revolution.” He emphasized that after the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, Joshua Wong and others showed no intention of repentance, shamelessly acting as agents for foreign and external forces, attempting to pressure the central and SAR governments through foreign forces, harming Hong Kong and selling it out; Joshua Wong was also involved in the “35+ plan” conspiracy to subvert state power. These acts severely harm national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and directly endanger the welfare of the general public and social stability.

💰Paul Chan (Financial Secretary): “Mainland enterprises are going global, and Hong Kong is their important gateway and platform.”
