2003年初,正值广东爆发非典型肺炎的时候,香港发生了几例禽流感,有父女二人回福建老家先后染病身亡,一时颇为引人关注。但后来经初步研究证实,广东爆发的病症并非禽流感病毒所致,于是事情很快平息,香港方面似乎有一段时间风平浪静。如今回忆起来,在当时广东全民煲醋的背景下,香港的平静越发显得暗流涌动、危机四伏 At the beginning of 2003, when SARS outbreak was reported in Guangdong, there were a few cases of bird flu in Hong Kong. There were two cases in which the father and daughter returned to their hometown in Fujian Province and died of illness one moment in time. However, preliminary studies confirmed that the outbreak of the disease in Guangdong was not caused by the bird flu virus. As a result, things quickly subsided and Hong Kong seemed calm for some time. Now, recalling the backdrop of the burning pot of vinegar in Guangdong at that time, the calm of Hong Kong became more and more apparent.
