Last update date: 2020-06-16 08:00One year ago today (June 16, 2019), 2 million Hong Kong people remembered in black, "He Li Fei" once again issued a call for anti-amendment through the parade, but Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yuee still refused to officially withdraw the amendment. Become the key point of the anti-revision movement intensification. The Labor Party Zhang Chaoxiong accepted the interview of "Hong Kong 01" earlier, reviewing the process of amending the law, thinking that the "7.1" impact on the Legislative Council was a major turning point. Zhang Chaoxiong, who tried to dissuade demonstrators from assaulting the legislature on "7.1", pointed out that the day of "7.1" witnessed the young people participating in despair, thinking that "self-sacrifice" was required to continue the movement.
Today, one year later, Hong Kong has not calmed down. In the words of Zhang Chaoxiong, it has moved to the most unstable state. The Hong Kong version of the National Security Law has come to an end. Hong Kong has become a battlefield between China and the United States, and society and people’s livelihood have been greatly affected by the epidemic and trade wars. Influence... Zhang believes that young people should embrace the original intentions of "Be Water" and "no injury, no bloodshed, no arrest" at this moment. Don't be stubborn, wait for the opportunity to move, as long as you are calm, you will have a chance to see the way out.

Repeated appearances at the scene of the conflict believe that the legislators can act as a bridge communication role,
anti-revision laws, and storms trigger continuous conflicts between the police and the public, leaving indelible scars for the Hong Kong people. Zhang Chaoxiong, who is regarded as unreasonable, appeared at the scene of the conflict many times. It acts as a buffer and monitoring role between the police and the police. "In the beginning, the police had some concerns about the MPs. The MPs could still act as buffers and bridges. The demonstrators wanted to express (to the police) that the police wanted the demonstrators to retreat to the side. In the first place, we (Members) passed messages between the two parties and calmed the two sides. At the beginning, we did. But it was only in the early stages. After July, the police’s force and attitude became stronger and tougher, and communication was almost incomparable."
As a moderate democrat, Zhang Chaoxiong is often accused by radicals of being "Left Gum". He admitted that not only were the police scolded at the scene of the conflict, but the demonstrators would also scold him. However, Zhang believes that it is necessary for the parliament to monitor and mediate at the scene of the conflict: "As a parliamentarian, it is the responsibility to monitor the government. If there is a big conflict, I don’t want the police to use disproportionate force... The public still expressed their indignation and courage (demonstration). I’m so worried about the future, health and life of the deceased to protect Hong Kong’s future. I admire but worry, I want to check on the spot, help get as much as possible Help."
Once blocked the "7.1" impact of the legislature, heartbroken young self-sacrifice
The "7.1" demonstrators attacked the Legislative Council and became an important chapter of the anti-amendment movement. Zhang Chaoxiong, street workers Liang Yaozhong, and the Citizen Party Guo Jiaqi tried to dissuade demonstrators but failed, and were even taken away by the demonstrators. Zhang Chaoxiong believes that "7.1" is an important turning point in the sport. "From the moment, many young people who participated in the sport have been desperate. At the moment, they will take the path of self-sacrifice. This sport is a self-sacrifice for many young people and demonstrators for many years. The process of going on to continue this movement is just the same." Zhang Chaoxiong continued, "7.21" Yuen Long attack, "8.31" Prince Station incident, CUHK and PolyU conflicts are also turning points in the movement.

The painful recollection of the PolyU incident recalled that "entering the face is like a battlefield"
stepped into November, and a more startling "PolyU Siege War" broke out. Zhang Chaoxiong, who had just unloaded his teaching point from PolyU, felt deeply about the PolyU incident. At that time, he and the social virtue entered the campus and tried to calm down the event. He hoped to bring the demonstrators and students out of the campus. The scene he saw after entering the campus made him feel very sad. "It's like entering the battlefield, coming out (outside the campus) to burn to the sun, many places are exposed to the sun, the library is all exposed to the sun, it's not easy to try to go with the demonstrators, it's terrifying to trust people "He described the PolyU incident as the most violent of many conflicts. "In the international community, there shouldn't be such a conflict in universities, and it shouldn't use strong firepower to enter campuses."
It has been over a year since the revision of the law was against the fact that the camp successfully overturned the amendments to the "Fugitive Offenders Ordinance." Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, pointed out in an online seminar a few days ago that the central government’s efforts to deal with national security legislation in the port area were forced out by the opposition and radical separation forces.
Zhang Chaoxiong refuted the lecture, thinking that it was "the wicked first complaint", "there is no "send in" (revision example) and there will be "reverse in delivery" (reverse revision example), if Lin Zheng does not eat man-made blood buns, borrow Pan Xiaoying In the tragedy, try to put the "evil law" (revision) on the heads of Hong Kong people. If Lin Zheng does not count on political calculations, it will be a matter (revision) and it will not be necessary to go to the point where... Cliff, it must be Lin Zheng, and Lin Zheng is the "Mother of Lan Chao"."
Zhang Chaoxiong described that Hong Kong will enter a "dark age." Dissidents will be disqualified from running. Social workers and lawyers may defend their rights. The talents will be lost due to the immigration wave. Overseas funds will be withdrawn from Hong Kong. The public will live in poverty for a long time. Will his "prophecy" come true? Time will provide answers. (Photo by Li Zetong)

Using the opportunity to describe the relationship between China and Hong Kong, young people maintain the original intention of "Be Water"
Zhang Chaoxiong believes that the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law will bring Hong Kong into the most unstable state. The social conflicts and turmoil that occurred last year have made Hong Kong into an unstable state. The epidemic situation, the Sino-American wrestling and the National Security Law will cause unprecedented impact on Hong Kong. Seeing the impact, he predicted that Hong Kong will enter the "dark age." Dissidents will be suppressed and disqualified from running. Social workers and lawyers may defend their rights. The talents will be lost due to the immigration wave. Overseas funds will be withdrawn from Hong Kong. The impact of international sanctions on Hong Kong Import and export tariffs, together with the epidemic situation and Sino-US wrestling, will bring Hong Kong society and people's livelihood into trouble. He said with deep concern: "Before there was an epidemic, social movements did not affect Hong Kong's economy, only tourism-related industries were affected, but the epidemic will broaden the scope of the attack, and the future will be more thorough and extensive. Well, it will be fine."
So, how should Hong Kong people manage themselves? Zhang Chaoxiong used the term "playing a machine" to metaphorically, Hong Kong people defeated the "chuck" in the game in the anti-fixing movement and kept passing the game. However, the National Security Act appeared as a "ultimate boss", and he believed that in the final battle The key to victory is to "wait for the opportunity and then move." "By using the tactics to speak, the big brother (Guo'an Law) comes out. Before (Hong Kong people) have won a lot of games, the big guy (Guo'an Law) has to play first. It’s really the last battle when the big guy comes out, but we have a great disparity in strength, so in the final stage, we don’t have to fight hard for a game....We have to retain the strength and make sure that we don’t sacrifice."
Zhang Chaoxiong said to young people, at this moment they should embrace the original intentions of "Be Water" and "no injury, no bloodshed, no arrest". Don't be stubborn, wait for the opportunity and move forward, as long as you are calm, you will have a chance to see the way out.
