That really sucks. Mainland China is really pushing for Mandarin to be the main language, or at least the prestige language, used in China, even though there are so many languages there. Cantonese has its own rich linguistic history. But cracking down on Cantonese advocacy groups is one way Beijing is going to make Hong Kong just like the rest of China.
Wow thats a shame. I imagine there is so many cutural and historical languages there, it would be sad if they were lost to history.
