Writing prompts in HK public exam

The hkdse just started today and as always, each year's Chinese writing prompts are released soon after the exams ended. Here are some of the prompts over the years, translated:

A meal with mixed feelings (2023)
Autobiography of school uniform (2022)
"I will remember this sentence in life." Complete the passage. (2019)
Footprints (2018)
I found happiness from xxx (2016)
A day without my mobile phone (2015)

Do you think these are harder, similar or easier than your creative writing prompts?

‘Write a description of a mysterious place, as suggested by the picture’ or write a story about an event that cannot be explained.

This was just from AQA, there is also OCR, Pearson and WJEC Eduqas exam boards.
