Abstract
Slow-living is not regarded as a virtue, but a sin, in a bustling metropolis like Hong Kong. Procrastination is even worse, as it reveals the anxiety towards seeing a caveat underlying a possible nadir. In order to make one feel that the nadir does not exist, one will develop a delusion that "everything already exists, and there is no rooms for dispute". This projects every social phenomenon in Hong Kong: from the attitude towards disputed archipelago in Eastern Sea, to the identity of "Hong Kong" as "the city is dying". This even extends to the topic in question: psychology in Hong Kong. On one hand it "exists" as a group of people labeled as psychologists, on the other hand does not constitute an independent entity of "Hong Kong Psychology". Only "Psychology in Hong Kong" could be found.
