Leave comments/ ideasHey people,I've been debating to talk about the fire in this week's episode but my feelings to voice out got the better of me. It's surely a hugely traumatic event for Hongkongers, especially the victims, residents and frontline staff. This episode is about providing you with a first-hand perspective and perhaps what you can do to help. Support the showHow to subscribe to premium content HK Dispatch?
