Origin of the term


On 3rd October 2014 in Mong Kok, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the world, members of organized crime gangs tried to remove the barricades set up by protesters and the situation soon escalated into fights. A policewoman used her body to protect the gangsters from the protesters. Andy Tsang Wai-hung, the current Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force, spoke in a live interview show ‘On the Record’ in TVB, a local TV channel, on 20th December 2014. When he spoke of citizens’ discontent towards the conflict, Tsang mentioned that the police acted like a “kind mother’’ protecting her children. Many Internet Users were shocked by this argument; as they felt that police using tear gas against demonstrators in an effort to disperse protesters did not match with his stance. The expression became a major source of discussion among HK citizens.
