Apparently they felt their sentiments had been adequately expressed. When the Chairman, Ho A-mei, stated that inasmuch as there were too many present for all to sign the petition at that time, he would call for a hand vote. The account of the meeting stated “everybody in the room held up a hand." The Chinese appeared to be no longer divided on the issue, unanimity prevailed. The meeting was another important step in the struggle for equal treatment by Chinese living under a colonial administration. WHEN THE PRESS DISAPPROVED OF PROTESTS Several issues were raised by the English language press in Hongkong in its comment on the speeches made by Ho A-mei and Ho Tung at a public meeting to protest against the light and pass regulations. The meeting was held at the Tung Wah Hospital in December 1895. Topics discussed as a result of the meeting were the effects of an English language education on the Chinese, the necessity of using a firm hand in dealing with protests, the principle of freedom of speech and a new look at the relation between the Government and the Chinese population of Hongkong. In discussing English language education the editor of the China Mail did not miss his chance to downgrade the Chinese. He informed his readers that "one of the stock arguments against teaching the English language to Asiatics is that it is so very apt to make them lose their heads." To make his point he cited the old adage: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. He claimed: “The Chinese have already so much faith in themselves and all their ways, that when they do begin to learn any new thing, they often too confidently begin to run before they know how to walk. Sometimes even running is not good enough, and they try to fly. This is especially amusing when they try their 'prentice hand at speechifying, airing their views before ================================================================================ RASHKB Journal 皇家亞洲學會香港分會學刊 | RAS-1988 https://digitalrepository.lib.hku.hk/catalog/ft84gb83q 30 had already departed. Of the original allied commissioners, only Harry Parkes was still there for the final ceremony which included a tri-national group of Chinese, French, and British dignitaries. If the allied occupation of Canton was not as uneventful as some historical accounts record, it nevertheless had very successful elements to it and may have had an influential impact on future Sino-European relations. At least two employees of the Allied Commission, Robert Hart and Prosper Giquel, both young men at the time, went on to play major roles in future Sino-European co-operative ventures later in the century, Robert Hart as the famous director of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service and Prosper Giquel as the future European Director of the Foochow Dockyard and eventually head of several Sino-European Educational Missions of the 1870s and 1880s. That their earlier experiences had been in the somewhat more co-operative world of the Sino-European police forces and the Sino-European coolie emigration inspection teams is certainly likely to have proved significant in the careers of these two men who were later so much more able than most of their countrymen to work with the Chinese on an equal basis.
