I did not follow this thread and deleted posts. A few hundred years ago, people probably can not imagine world without kings.
Now people can not imagine world without countries but John Lennon already imagined it

Nothing to delete or die for...

hehehe. peace !

I don't know in HK in general, but in the stadium China team enjoys lots of support, the most after the HK team. LCW and LD are also encouraged strongly by the crowd. After that, I would put Indonesians as receiving strong support - in the early rounds at least.
In the crowd are perhaps many mainlanders and Indonesians, as there are plenty of them in HK, so the crowd support might not reflect perfectly the general opinion here.

Foes on court, friends off court! Minions and Li/Liu follow each other on Instagram. Many didn't know that Kevin is actually acting to spice up the game, make it more interesting as you can see many comments pouring in, the more the attention and controversies that's what he really wanted from the fans. It's just really part of an acting on court, which is far from his real off court personality.

Sorry to butt in. But apparently Kevin said himself that he was not acting on court. He was just being himself on court. He and Marcus genuinely did not understand why the opponents (or other people) were annoyed by them. He just played the way he would and always had since he started playing badminton at 2.5 years old, his dad confirmed it. When people asked him how he played or came up with those crazy shots, he answered he did not know how, he just played it as he felt he would. It is just how he plays badminton, nothing to do with his personality.
