Thanks for the reply. I left HK when I was 13 and can't remember I had a ID or not, probably not. I still have the old passport. But as I said in the first post, I have a birth certificate. Hope that will be enough.

My purpose to get the HK id at first is like your aunt, ease of travel to China, but eventually retiring in China.

So after getting HK id, I will get HK passport, and Home Return Permit. My big issue is I don't have a HK address.

I don't think you need an address to get it, but I think you might need one for correspondence.

In HK birth does not grant the natural right to live in HK, which means you'd probably need to still need to prove you are eligible based on the criteria. If you had your parents' ID, it might help since one of the criteria is one parent being an HK/Chinese national.

The difficultly my mom had was the proving the 7 years. To do this, she was getting school attendance records, but since all her records were so old, it took time to locate them and then deliver them. Since these were just vacation trips to HK, she couldn't always get this accomplished in one trip, thus it took a few trips over a few years.

I read about China Tobacco. Certain reports mention that it's the highest profit earning corporation.

Is this true? I wonder how come we hear so less about this.

Those state owned corps have to send more than 90% of profit to their provicial government as tax or production goal. Hence theres a joke about the smokers along payed the whole military budget in China. It do has lots of corruption and bureaucrat shit but it did not create secret billionaires. Maybe thats why it is not famous in west.
Ah, for those who invested in electric smoking things, those state owned corps pushed for the crack down of it in China cuz electric smoking dont have to pay 90% tax but normal 25%.

Did you mean to post on the soft power and media discussion thread? From what I read, its cause the demographics is mostly women and the directors are all women now.

Women are more likely to do ratings and comments so that the industry tends to believe women is the major audience.
Also the idol drama for girls is always the safe option for production both financially and politically.

Serious historical dramas and realist-themed TV series have long been a traditional strength of Chinese television. Although relatively few such works have been produced in recent years, this genre continues to yield the best rated productions annually.

For example, the widely believed best cdrama in 2020s is The Long Season (漫长的季节), It tells a story spanning nearly 20 years about 3 guys involved in a dismemberment case in a small town, which is an are deeply declined during this era.

But yeah, there is masterpiece about feminist too, She and Her Girls （山海烂漫时), about a dedicated educator who founded a free high school for girls in the remote mountains , helping them escape poverty through education.

The electric one is more harmful actually.
