Since leaving officialdom, Zeng Haohui disappeared in front of the spotlight. News about him came out only occasionally, but it was all lace news, such as laughing at his own stocks, buying opera tickets for his parents full-time, and pursuing female companions.

He served as the deputy dean of the School of Social Medicine of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine until 2014 and is currently the dean.

The new crown virus ravaged Hong Kong last year. The Department of Health invited Tsang Ho-fai to make an appearance again, and her partner artist Cheng Yuling (Sister DoDo) filmed an advertisement calling for people with symptoms to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

"It's a great honor to work with Sister DoDo. The only thing that is not good is that she is too fit and I am too fat." At the end of the year, he was invited to serve as a member of the Government Vaccine Advisory Committee and Vaccination Program Task Force. He was the only one. Experts also participate in the review and promotion of vaccines.

He has also frequently interviewed recently, explaining the latest developments in the new crown vaccine on TV, radio, newspapers, and online media.

"Someone from the government called me, and Yijia is preparing for an injection. There is a vaccination. I have done it before. I have some experience and hope that I can return to work as a consultant." He said it was not by Chief Executive Carrie Lam. Come forward and only claim that the other party is a member of the government.

Are officials unable to build public confidence?

The current officials’ anti-epidemic performance has been repeatedly criticized, and the public does not trust the government. Some people say that Zeng Haohui’s “return to the nest” can add points to the government’s image. He was asked whether officials cannot build public confidence and must rely on themselves to convince the public to vaccinate .

He denied, "I don't think I have a baby, I think I used to get swine flu injections for a while. I'm the director. I've gotten together with one hand and one foot. There are places where I can come back and help a bunch of people."

He quoted a friend who said, "'Dr. Zeng, you come back, you finally got a secret weapon.' I don't think I'm a secret weapon. I'm a warehouse stock. I must have passed the best expiration date. I hope. It’s a good idea to change things to bad. Let’s do as little as possible. It’s not selflessness.” Zeng Haohui, who is in his 50s, is in the “year of knowing his fate.” He knows his life's direction and where his destiny is. , Smiled heartily and said, "Retirement is so happy."

The lack of officials is a portrayal of his escape.

In 1998, Zeng Haohui was recommended by the Department of Health to train at the California branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for two years. He said that he was the last lucky person to study at the CDC. His local strength is the investigation of difficult new infectious diseases. When the outbreak broke out, the mode of transmission was quickly discovered. "It was a very special situation in Amoy Gardens during the SARS outbreak. No one has ever tried it. American studies have an effect." But the actual experience of infectious diseases in Hong Kong Richer, contact tracing capabilities are no weaker than the United States.

In fact, the CHP has dispatched personnel to the World Health Organization for short-term internships and invited European and American experts to Hong Kong to share experience. Zeng Haohui agreed that it would be difficult to arrange personnel to go overseas for two years, so he did not actively participate when he was a director, but "( New crown pneumonia) is worthy of consideration after the epidemic. At least there is a heritage, and there are people who follow every technique."

The Department of Health replied that in recent years, an average of 12 to 15 people have been arranged to receive infectious disease training overseas. The training expenses involved vary according to the training location and the length of the course. However, due to the epidemic, it was not possible to arrange for employees to go overseas for training directly last year. Part of it was changed to online.
