The district board elections will be held on Sunday (24th). More than 300 district board members will be re-elected this year. Among them, Cheng Zhang, a member of the Democratic Party Shatian District, will be elected for the ninth time. The opponent is He Weijun of the Federation of Trade Unions. After more than 30 years of "Sin Tin Wai District Chief", he has undergone a return to change. Cheng believes that no matter how much the officials attach importance to the District Councils, the quality of their speeches and the quality of their services, they have also changed their views. In recent years, officials have often ignored the views of the District Councils. Do it all."

Cheng has never thought of retreating for many years, and even moved his residence to the vicinity of San Tin Wai. It is because of the deep feelings between a group of neighborhoods and even an extra monthly payment of over 10,000 yuan for the activities of the neighborhood. However, after the waves of the Yangtze River pushed forward, he also admitted that young people were participating in the trend and lamented that "qualification is a negative asset", so he would consider withdrawing from the political arena after he was able to entrust the ideal successor to the neighborhood.

Cheng Zhangying began his election in the second district council in 1985 and took root in Xintianwei, Sha Tin for more than 30 years. From the political road, he moved to Xincuic Village in Sha Tin in 1983. At that time, Cheng Fu served as a member of the MAC. Therefore, Cheng Zhang Ying assisted his father in a timely manner. During the period, he met many neighborhoods. In 1985, he encouraged the neighborhood to participate in the first election. parliament. In the past three elections, he has won more than 60% of the votes.

In the past 34 years, he has gone through nine elections, tried to be automatically elected, and has been running for re-election. I was asked why I was willing to stay in a small community. He laughed for a group of neighborhoods. "For many years, the neighborhood is like a comrade-in-arms. The feelings are too deep. Even the housing estates are nearby, and they are willing to go!" During the internal inspection, he stopped to greet or chat with the neighborhood almost every 5 steps.

Cheng Zhangying: Officials pay more attention to District Council opinions before returning

Rolling back in the District Council for many years, Cheng witnessed the rise and fall of the District Council and district services, and the 1997 return is an important watershed. He pointed out that before and after the reunification, the District Councils had been the advisory structure. However, before the reunification, the British and British government officials paid more attention to the views of the district boards. However, after the reunification, officials often ignored the views of Members and "do the best."

For example, if the Hong Kong British Government wants to develop a new public housing estate, it will plan traffic according to the views of the district boards. The supporting facilities are closer to the public's needs. However, in recent years, many new public housing estates have frequent traffic support problems. For example, the District Council has repeatedly reported to the Government that the public transport in Shui Chuen Estate in the district is inadequate. However, the Government has turned a deaf ear to the problem and the problem has finally disappeared. They are all open to it."

97 years ago, Hong Kong and British officials paid more attention to the opinions of the district boards, and they handled the district boards' opinions and raised their enthusiasm. After 1997, the officials seemed to be nervous about the opinions of the district board members, and they did everything. They finally lost.

The quality of the speeches of District Council members has gone from bad to worse.

As regards the district board members, Mr Cheng said that the quality of the speeches of Members has gone from bad to worse. It is described that some Members have performed like "Ma Ying". For example, when the last Sha Tin District Council meeting discussed the issue of monkey nuisance, some Members proposed "wearing a condom for the horse" as a solution. Many Members also spoke only for venting. He thinks that one of the reasons is that the district board constituencies have become more and more fragmented in recent years. The number of members is large, the media attention is also reduced, the monitoring of district board members is reduced, and district board members are only concerned about matters in their constituencies.

Another change in the district council is too politicized. Cheng Zhangying said that before the reunification, "independent members of the legislature would be independent." Members can not get along with each other. However, in recent years, they have become clear-cut. "There is a division of the party, even if there is a background for independence." For example, the Chairman of the sub-committees of the former District Councils are all capable of living. The members of the formed system are also very polite. However, in recent years, the establishment of the "Personal Monopoly" has been established. For example, the Chairman of the Sha Tin District Boards It was won by the members of the formed system, which narrowed the living space of the parliamentarians in the parliament.

Residents ask the district board members to change the district members to contact the public.

In addition to the change of the District Council, the mentality of the residents is also significantly different. He pointed out that before the reunification, residents only expected district board members to solve problems for them. At present, "want to have a good service, the office will become a community service center." Time shifts are easy, and Cheng Zhangying also needs to provide more welfare activities described by the outside world as "snake cakes", including video documents, blood pressure, and tour groups. He did not say that the founding faction had sufficient resources to have an advantage in this respect, and admitted that he would have to pay an additional subsidy of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per month to provide various activities to residents.

Despite the change in residents' demands, the work of District Council members has increased greatly. However, he does not resist the "Snake Cake". He thinks that it will force District Council members to have more contact with the public and to be more "sticking to the people".

At the same time, he observed that in recent years, voters have increasingly attached importance to the political position of candidates. In the past, candidates were "highly educated and good at eating," as if they were teachers and lawyers. However, in recent years, social differences have become polarized. Therefore, voters are more concerned about the political background of candidates. This is particularly evident in the Legislative Council elections. As for the district board elections, voters will still consider the candidate's political achievements.

The most memorable way to sell and sell the market in the market

As a district board member for more than 30 years, Cheng Zhangying has encountered setbacks in handling regional affairs. He recalled that the most memorable event in the term of office was to handle the sale of shopping malls in 2016. The new buyers no longer renew their contracts with the existing merchants in the market and shopping malls. So far, the shopping malls are still ten rooms and nine empty spaces, causing great inconvenience to the neighbourhood. Little Street is deeply dissatisfied with this. "I feel that the district board members seem to be doing something wrong." He has repeatedly discussed with other new buyers and the Government, but he was unable to reverse the situation because of commercial decisions. Cheng Zhiyan was extremely indignant at the incident. "It is very unforgettable to cause residents to react with great enthusiasm. "Generation", and has listed the incident as "the number one task", hoping to supervise the government to solve the problem.

Over the years, Cheng Zhang has been a part-time district board member and a secondary school teacher. He did not retire from school until last year. He said that in the past, precise time management was required to take care of both jobs, and that the district board meeting schedule would be obtained one year earlier to avoid scheduling classes during the meeting time. After retirement, I hope to spend more time working in the community.

With Cheng Zhang's long-term qualification as a district board member and a former member of the Regional Council, he should have the conditions and ability to be elected to the Legislative Council. When he was considered for the Legislative Council, he replied categorically. He explained that he loves teaching work. If he is elected to the Legislative Council, he will not be able to take care of both faculty and parliamentary duties. In addition, the Legislative Council has a complicated environment or is not suitable for its straightforward character. As for when the future will retreat, he feels that "who wants to pay for the second place of the residents," he will find that the ideal successor will return.
