At 6 o'clock in the morning, Debby stood at the roundabout at the Dawangzi barbecue site in Saigon. Sai Kung is known as the "back garden of Hong Kong". During the holidays, a large number of tourists visit the outings. However, with the continuous development of Saigon in recent years and the increase in tourists, the residents of the back garden have suffered from the traffic jam.

As a candidate for the Sai Kung Outlying Islands Constituency, she said: "If you enter the crowd, you will feel that there is someone living in Sai Kung." In order to avoid traffic jams, the neighbours go out early, from 8 am to 6 am, Saturday and Sunday. I prefer to stay at home. Between the green mountains and the blue sea, Chen Jialin, who is familiar with urban planning, hopes to join hands with the neighbourhood to bring the development of Sai Kung into Hong Kong and protect the country parks at the district board level.

Judicial review for the development of country parks

In the past, I have been able to submit a "Jung Ka Lam" and "Sai Kung" on the Internet. You will find that he has twice raised the judicial review for the development of the Sai Kung Country Park. In 2014, the Town Planning Board proposed to re-plan and develop more than 300 village houses in part of the rural development land of Sai Kung Hoi Ha, Sha Lai and Sha Tau Kok. At that time, Chen Jialin was a non-governmental organization for urban planning. She believed that the authorities misjudged the demand for small houses and the damage to the environment and ecosystems, and proposed a judicial review on behalf of the organization "defending country parks". Three years later, the court sentenced her to win the case. She has gone to Germany to study a master's degree in urban planning.

The first encounter with the anti-high-speed rail first sense planning

Urban planning has always given a professional and difficult image, which is quite different from the image of Chen Jialin's sunshine and escape. After all, her interest in urban planning stems from social movements rather than colleges. In 2009, an anti-high-speed rail campaign broke out in Hong Kong. Chen Jialin was also a first-year student in the Department of Cultural Studies at Lingnan University. In the same year, she and her classmates first contacted the sky-high city planning project. The public designed the questionnaire to understand whether the high-speed rail at Tai Kok Tsui Street was passed by the ground under his feet and caused the settlement of the old buildings in the district. She began to discover that there is a huge gap between citizens and urban development. "The high-speed rail is big and it is planned with a lot of money, but many people see it," she said.

Invisible or related to the cumbersome local urban planning system. After graduating from college, Chen Jialin joined the local urban planning NGO "Create Hong Kong". Liberal arts graduates face the professional world of urban planning. They study the rules of the city planning plan from scratch and frequently enter and exit government meetings. She is like Liu Wei who first entered the Grand View Garden. "Hong Kong does a good job in urban planning." She silently smashes the documents and digests the information into a lazy package, inviting the public to express their views to the Town Planning Board.

Saigon is a base for rural and institutional forces. In the same year, Liu Huangfa had no precedent in the Legislative Council to move the proposal to remove the Sanwan Village of Big Wave Bay into the territory of the country park. "I know that it will touch a lot of homesickness," she said. (Photo by Ou Jiale)

In the same year, the judicial review reported that she was an environmentalist, and vegetarians did not deny it. However, her gaze is not only to defend the country parks, but also the overall planning and development of Sai Kung. She sighed, "A lot of time is too late. If you come out, you will develop your prophet, and you will be alert to the environment around you."

There are many country parks in the Sai Kung Country Park and adjacent areas which do not include land. As the land is adjacent to country parks, the development of relevant land is often accompanied by a whole body. "A lot of Sai Kung neighbourhoods think of many houses because there are many people in many houses." She said that on average, each Sai Kung family has two private cars. In other words, every development of a village house in Sai Kung will definitely increase the traffic load in the district.

District Councils discuss country park development

Over the years, Sai Kung has been positioned by the Hong Kong Government as a "back garden" for the development of green tourism. However, the wishes of the Sai Kung neighbourhood have received little attention. The Sai Kung Off Island Constituency where she played is very extensive. From the country parks in the Sai Kung Peninsula to the 10 islands in Sai Kung, it is also a constituency boundary. In the past, she has been involved in the development of country parks. Members of the public have submitted letters to the Country Parks Committee. The Legislative Council has also raised the issue of environmental protection. However, the development of country parks has not been discussed at the district board level. She explained that the small area projects and facilities in the country parks will be discussed in the District Councils. "Bei Tam Chung to the West Dam has started a tram but has never appeared in the eyes of the public."

In this year's Sai Kung District Council elections, the Sai Kung District was seriously watched by the attack on the "Shagang Township" He Weihang, a candidate for the Baishawan Constituency. On the contrary, Chen Jialin, who is also a member of the Sai Kung villagers, was often dismissed when she laughed. She had forgotten herself when she had a large-scale newspaper to attack the Democratic candidates in Saigon. (Photo by Ou Jiale)

Sigh Hong Kong planning to go to humanity to promote democracy planning Saigon

She believes that DC members have a duty to discuss with Sai Kung residents how they should develop their country parks. In particular, the traffic problem in Sai Kung District is a common problem for neighbours. She pointed out that local planning habits throw a vision map. The opinions of the neighbourhood are often regarded as unprofessional. They are excluded from the professional and "rational" planning vision. "Hong Kong planning is to erase humanity." Therefore, "Democratic Planning" became her slogan for election and the concept of electoral engineering.

Chen Jialin currently has a number of election volunteers, and she is also the Saigon neighbourhood that she recruited in the past five months. Ruby, the neighbourhood of Saigon, is currently one of Chen Jialin's election volunteers. Ruby has never been a candidate for any election, but is now the election team for the Saigon Outlying Islands candidate. She explained that she was dissatisfied with the development of Sai Kung for many years, such as the traffic jam in the district. She questioned that the district board members knew the development of Sai Kung early, but did not seriously plan the traffic development in the district early. "Before 8:00, I’m going to get out at 6 o'clock." She sighed. "It’s not a dream to go out at 5 o’clock."

Ruby has never been a candidate for any election, but is now the election team for the Saigon Outlying Islands candidate. She pointed out that when the typhoon mangroves were struggling to find the district board members, there was no result. As a result, they had to personally remove the fallen trees outside the road.

The first democratic candidate in the following year: I am just a medium

Since the establishment of the Saigon Islands District, it has been a base for rural and institutional forces. In the past 20 years, there have been no democratic candidates to the islands of Saigon. Chen Jialin ended up fighting Saigon off the island because of her affection and accidentally absorbed the supporters of the district. Volunteer Ruby said frankly that she had never chosen the right, so when Chen Jialin appeared, she immediately became a member of her volunteer group.

Chen Jialin said frankly that she is only a medium. "I want to be a representative, and I want to fight together, and I will be depressed." She believes that residents of Sai Kung have their own observations. "It is only a matter of knowing what to do. A district board member is going to bury the class and then go to the future." At present, most of the regional initiatives in her political platform are the needs of Saigon. For example, the social welfare service in Sai Kung District has long relied on the Tseung Kwan O District. The elderly and young children need to travel long distances to obtain the necessary services. Volunteers believe that the Sai Kung District Social Welfare Center and Nursery School should be added to the district. Chen Jialin put this appeal into her own political platform.

However, the election of the District Council is accompanied by the anti-reform movements that have lasted for many months, and it is difficult to separate from the social environment. Chen Jialin played in Saigon with a democrat candidate. She acknowledged that the movement has made more neighborhoods concerned about the district board elections in the district. Since the anti-reform movement, Saigon has been isolated from tear gas. "Saigon seems to be independent," she said with a smile. In the past five months, she and other "Saigon Villagers" candidates held a number of screenings in downtown Saigon, including "Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom", attracting near 200 neighbourhoods gather on the streets of downtown Saigon.

"I want to bring Saigon back to Hong Kong," said Chen Jialin. Sai Kung is not just a back garden in Hong Kong. Sai Kung has a neighbourhood and life in Sai Kung.

There are two candidates for the Sai Kung City Centre Constituency, No. 1 Democratic Alliance Wu Shifu, and No. 2 candidate Sai Kung Xiang Min Liang Yan.

There are two candidates in the Baishawan Constituency, the No. 1 candidate Labour Party, the Saigon Villager He Weihang, and the No. 2 Candidate People's Federation Chen Quanjun.

There are two candidates for the Sai Kung Offshore Islands Constituency, the No. 1 candidate, Sai Kung Township, Chen Jialin, and the No. 2 candidate, the People's Liaison Union Li Jialiang.
