Ho Zaak Lung, fifth grader:
“We should be good citizens with brains, not brainwashed robots.”
The term “brainwashing” is now censored from Weibo search results.
Left: “I want to learn Chinese, I don’t want to be brainwashed!” Right: “You want me to love my country, but you won’t teach me Chinese right!”
