Mr. Lu said that the Hong Kong government’s governance was “uncomfortable” and rebuked that “the government is partial to help”, so it “did not make a noise”. He revealed that he voted for the Citizen Party Yang Yueqiao, and the "Super District" chose Cen Aohui, the former secretary-general of the Federation of Students, because he "reads newspapers often", "I think it's better to have two!"

Mr. Cai, 26, said that after the implementation of the National Security Law, "it is no longer possible", and voting for the primary election is "the only way to do it." He said that waiting in line for 30 to 45 minutes is worth it, because "If you don't do it again, you won't do it."

Mr. Cai said that if there are 2 million people voting for the Democrats in the general election, "35+" is not impossible. He also pointed out that the local faction is more representative of their own ideas, that the traditional democratic faction does local work but not enough, and that the local faction is based on the Hong Kong people and understands young people's ideas.

Mr. Zhong said that his intention to vote is local first, because the local school can best represent his own ideas.
