		Hong Kong has a population of 6 million, with a land area 422 sq mi (compare with Rhode Island, the smallest state of the U.S., which is 1,214 sq mi, with a population of 1 million).

		But with Britain's agreement in 1984 to return Hong Kong to China, followed by waves of repression in China culminating in the mass killing of protesters in Beijing in 1989, many people here who were determined to have some say in their future began organizing pressure groups and political parties.

		The looming threat of China's "takeover" of Hong Kong in these years had produced a great sense of urgency among the local cultural workers that "Hong Kong" as such was to be no more and had to be preserved with all one's might.
