Serving sweet
milk tea and French toast with fermented tofu, Kate Lee’s traditional diner has
become a sanctuary for Hong Kongers opposed to youth-led democracy protests
sweeping the city.
供應奶茶和腐乳法式土司，李凱瑚的傳統茶餐廳成為反對年輕人帶頭、席捲全港的民主示威活動的香港人的聖地。
On a recent Saturday
morning, the restaurant was packed with hungry patrons served by volunteers who
have flocked to take orders and bus tables after Lee spoke out in support of
the city’s police force.
近日一個週六上午，這家餐館裡坐滿饑腸轆轆的顧客，一群人正在為他們點餐、收拾用完的餐盤，他們是在李凱瑚發聲支持香港警察後，湧入店裡義務幫忙。
Recent polling
data shows the city’s unelected pro-Beijing leader Carrie Lam has historic low
approval ratings. But loyalists do exist －
from die-hard nationalists to more moderate types who favour stability over the
political chaos.
最近的民調數據顯示，香港非民選的親北京領導人林鄭月娥支持度跌至歷史低點。不過，還是有忠誠的支持者，包括堅定民族主義者，和主張穩定重於這波政治混亂的較溫和派。
"I think
they （Beijing）
have already given us many many freedoms in governing us and given us many good
policies that have allowed us to prosper," said Lee, who has become somewhat
of a celebrity in Hong Kong’s pro-police camp and feted by Chinese state media.

「我認為他們（北京）在治理我們時，已經給了我們很多很多的自由，給了我們很多好的政策，讓我們繁榮發展」，李凱瑚說。她已經成為香港挺警察陣營的名人，還獲得中國國營媒體讚揚。（法新社）
