I think you still do not get what I was talking about, your chinese seems fluent when you composed a message but your comprehension of the language is not very good (as you stated).
I am not against Islanders who have a sense of belonging to HK Island and feel that they are most comfortable living there. However, this kind of feeling also exists in people who live in Kowloon and New Territories, not something unique to Islanders. I see many comments from different JMs expressing their feelings and reasons about why they like certain districts, most of them are fair comments.
Unfortunately, a few numbers of JMs started talking about "quality in people" outside the Island is not good, that is what I and a few other JMs against. Please take note that this is different to "quality of life" or "lifestyle". To quote someone's saying, "to understand the true quality of people, you must look into their mind and aversion", therefore, I fail to see how those JMs who talked about "quality in people" were making fair comments, have they actually studied about everybody's mind? Or they are judging others by their wealth and lifestyle? Actually, when asked how do you grade the quality in people, some JMs answered "because of the differences in house prices". We are not against all the JMs who said they think HK Island are the best place on Earth, who cares, anyone can have their likes and dislikes, we are just not happy with some of the other discriminative comments about "quality in people".
There is nothing wrong to express how much you love your home, but what I was asking here is while one expresses their love and feeling and loyalty for her chosen area, please also be considerate of other people's feeling. How would you feel if I say "I dislike HK Island because people there are too arrogant and nasty". I am sure if I have dared to say that, hundreds of Islanders would rush out to tell me off! So what is so wrong about us to get upset while some of the people who said "quality in people is not good outside HK Island"? Have you heard about 將心比心? Also if most Islanders have never cross the habour, then how do they know people elsewhere are not good in quality? By watching TV? Is that fair?
I think your limitation in chinese language is confusing you here. Hopefully this reply can help you understand what we were really talking about in this tread, but if you still do not comprehend, I guess my English ability is not good enough or maybe I am just not good in expressing myself in anyway. But I just have to make one thing clear, I am not against people who purely just love to live in Hong Kong Island, some gives very good reasons like "conveniences, nice parks, nice shops, nice restaurants, nice people (but without saying other people are not as nice), childhood memories…."
BTW, thank you for your kind comment about our home cooking
