"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."
-Robert Frost, Fire and Ice

- Cooking;; As a child, Hong Kong loved to have his Ge Ge cook for him, but when England took him over as a colony, he had to learn to cook for himself. Ever since then, it's been one of his favorite pass times. Adding his own twists to Ge Ge's old recipes always calms his nerves.
- Kung Fu and other martial arts;; Whether he is actually practicing Kung Fu just watching the movies or two people sparring, Hong Kong always finds it entertaining. He loves studying the techniques of others, predicting the next blow and figuring out what went wrong in a fight, and then applying these concepts in his own fights.
- Pyrotechnics;; He loves detonating fireworks. He loves setting them up, lighting them, and watching them explode into all kinds of light shows.
dislike;;
- Being Tossed Around;; It seems to Hong Kong that ever since the first Opium War, he has been thrown from one country's possession to another without consent. It really is a bother.
- His Relations;; Particularly with England and China. He hates that China would pretty much ignore him until England wanted him and then just sign him away, and he hates England for taking him away from his ge ge and giving him opium to give to China, who became addicted to the drug. But, Hong Kong knows China is his brother, and therefore, will always love him, and England proved that he does care for him by fighting for him during WWII. As much as he doesn't care for either of them, he still loves them as a little brother.
- Bad Cooking;; After 156 years of England's cooking, he has become a bit of a gourmet and won't tolerate it if he knows he can make his own meals.
strengths;;
- Has grown up with strong beliefs
- Won't back down or give up without a fight
- Cooking
weakness;;
- Can be pretty nasty when mad or irritated, even if he doesn't mean to be
- He's proud
- He's extremely insecure, no matter how proud and tough he might appear to be.
