After chairing the last meeting of this session of the Legislative Council’s Finance Committee last week, Chen Jianbo, who revisited last year’s "harvest period", again attracted public ridicule. This member of the insurance functional constituency who was elected with "zero votes" in 2012 and 2016 hopes to enjoy the "harvest period" and does not want young people to destroy the results of his and other middle-class struggles. It cannot be completely wrong, but his "explanation" Gives a sense of ignorance and selfishness. A politician must have depth and a conscience. He repeatedly made similar remarks, which shows that this person has made no progress.

Chen Jianbo is ignorant because he does not understand that the success of the previous generation has its own special background. After the "6-7" riots, Hong Kong's socio-economic outlook has continued to improve. Many people with relatively mediocre qualifications and low academic qualifications can also "top". Their success is of course inseparable from personal efforts, but economic take-off is an important background that cannot be ignored. The problem is that at present Hong Kong has lost its ability to renew under the obstruction of vested interests, and the lack of transformation of the economic structure has led to the solidification of class mobility, so that young people cannot choose careers, difficult to go upstairs, high cost of living, long working hours, low wages, etc. It is very sharp, and the path of changing fate through hard work in the past is not easy to replicate. Therefore, it is too far off the ground to talk about "you are proud to build (achievement)" like Chen Jianbo.

Chen Jianbo is said to be selfish because he seems to just want to enjoy the blessing when he goes ashore. If he is an ordinary person, he does not need to worry about the long-term development of Hong Kong, but as a politician, his vision can only be limited to protecting his "harvest period" and only seeking stability in life? Members of the Legislative Council are public officials. It is their duty to speak out and advise on Hong Kong issues. When many young people mistakenly vent their anger by disrupting the operation of society, should politicians think about the root cause? How to do something for the next generation with our own advantages?

Restart with advantage

It is undeniable that Hong Kong’s problems are very complex, with both socio-economic and political difficulties. To overcome them, they must endure huge pains. But we don’t think that Hong Kong’s glory can end here, because we still have good conditions-Hong Kong has a large population of highly educated people, rational professionals, and a good legal environment. As long as it is used properly, it can be renewed. Set off.

Chen Jianbo is not the core figure of the establishment faction, but he is not influential in promoting the re-start of Hong Kong-as long as he and other formation faction politicians do not do "speakers", but urge the government to carry out drastic reforms to many issues in Hong Kong, Hong Kong The face can be renewed. Only reform can break through the bottleneck, create another economic take-off, and allow the next generation to obtain upper-class opportunities, just like Chen Jianbo and establish his own "harvest period."
