Why do some Hong Kong movies make 1997 sound like the end of the world?

That's a good question You should be young. There are some things you don't know. I can't say it here either. Let's just say that China and Britain signed the agreement on the return of Hong Kong in 1984. At that time, most Hong Kong people were very happy at first, but later they became more and more worried. Because at that time, the capitalist countries continued to grow and unite, and constantly advocated that socialism was not feasible, which made people panic. In addition, many socialist countries in the world were basically in dire straits at that time, and the whole world was full of doubts, especially after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Although China's leaders said "one country, two systems" and "run according to the horse and dance according to the dance", based on some tough measures and mysterious images of the central authorities at that time, Hong Kong people did not trust this commitment and were not optimistic about the development after the reunification, so there was an immigration wave, which pushed the people's panic to the extreme. It can be reflected in the movies and songs at that time.
