Hong Kong Kids phenomenon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hong Kong Kids" or "Kong Kids" (Chinese: 港孩; pinyin: Gǎng Hái; Jyutping: Gong2 Haai4) is a derogatory term that refers to a stereotype of children or teenagers in Hong Kong who are said to be overly dependent on their families, have low emotional intelligence and lack self-management skills.[1][2] The term was coined in 2009 in a book titled Kong Kids: The Nightmares for Parents and Teachers published by the Ming Pao newspaper.[3] The stereotype is reinforced by anecdotal evidence from the media, but has no scientific literature to speak of.
