2013年同屋企人移民臺南嘅古小姐表示自小已有親人移民臺灣，常到臺灣旅遊、禮物，完全冇生暴有。2009年高鐵爭議、2010年政改爭議、2011年曾蔭權豪宅風波、2012年反國教運動等均令佢同屋企人對香港前程覺得灰心而下定決心移民。尤其2012年梁振英「爆冷」成為香港特首嘅成用畀佢覺得好事。佢話「感覺到政府嘅心情好似系越嚟越明顯有啲嘢要做，而佢哋嘅方向唔係咁好，都唔係為民設想，有啲政策！你會覺得有啲恐怖。…中國共產黨嘅政策！一直都係想愚民、想你聽話，唔好有反抗，文革到而家可能都係噉，只不過手法有唔同。」古小姐話：佢祖母系香港出世嘅，未接受過教育，但佢會喺民生方面覺得點解我而家買嘢買唔到或者貴咗咁多？咁多大陸人？我祖母唔係好鍾意，因為覺得好邋遢。佢可能都有無認同嘅危機，只係估唔到適當嘅詞彙講出嚟，佢只會講你快D行啦，香港已經唔係以前嘅香港啦。
Miss Gu, who immigrated to Taipei with her family in 2013, said that she has relatives who have immigrated to Taiwan since she was a child, and often travels to Taiwan and gives gifts, and there are no strangers at all. The 2009 high-speed rail controversy, the 2010 political reform controversy, the 2011 Donald Tsang-Kuen mansion scandal, and the 2012 anti-state religion movement all made him and his family discouraged by the future of Hong Kong and decided to emigrate. Especially in 2012, Leung Chun-ying's "upset" became the chief executive of Hong Kong, which made him feel that it was a good thing. He said, "It seems that the mood of the government is becoming more and more obvious, that there is something to do, and that they are not going in such a good direction, and they are not thinking for the people, and there are some policies! … The policy of the Communist Party of China has always been to fool the people, to be obedient, and not to resist, and this may have been the case since the Cultural Revolution, but in different ways. Miss Gu said: His grandmother was born in Hong Kong and had no education, but in terms of people's livelihood, he would think why I can't buy things now or why they are so expensive? He may also have a crisis of disidentity, but he didn't think of the appropriate words to say it, he would only say you hurry up, Hong Kong is not the Hong Kong it used to be.
