Huang Liuquan, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, recently came to Hong Kong to attend several "14th Five-Year Plan" presentations. On Wednesday (25th), he was asked by the media whether he would support the re-election of Chief Executive Carrie Lam.
Huang Liuquan first told reporters that "your problem is very good," and then pointed out that Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, has put forward the "five good" conditions for those who govern Hong Kong, and believes that those who meet the requirements should be supported.
After the reunification, there have been several elections for the chief executive, and every time the society focused on the individual.
For example, in 2012, Liang Zhenying and Tang Yingnian competed for the chief executive. Some people believed that the former was a wolf or the latter was a pig, which meant that they focused on their personal characteristics. To please the public is to focus on personal background and dealing with others.
However, if asked which policies support the above-mentioned politicians, many people will be unable to answer for a while.
In the process of discussing the rulers of Hong Kong, not many people will seriously and conscientiously examine what problems Hong Kong is facing and what methods should be used to solve them.
Election is the form, the key is the actual connotation
To be honest, this is not just a phenomenon unique to Hong Kong.
In the 21st century, elections are becoming more and more an image project, and politicians are becoming more and more KOL, and whether they are subjectively pleased has become the focus.
Some people equate democracy with elections, thinking that with elections, there will be democracy and society will be well.
But elections are only a form of democracy, and who should be elected is the real issue of how to govern society.
As the leader of Hong Kong, the chief executive must grasp the problems of society and have solutions to the problems.
In fact, as early as the former director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, Wang Guangya put forward the four criteria of the Chief Executive, including "the ability to govern", and the current director Xia Baolong put forward the five good skills, including being good at "breaking housing, employment, medical care, and disparity between the rich and the poor." "Problems", being good at "thinking what the citizens think, anxious about what the citizens want, alleviating the difficulties of the citizens, always sticking to the grassroots and being down-to-earth" shows that the focus of finding the next chief executive in Hong Kong must be problem-solving-oriented.
The election of the Election Committee will be held in less than a month, and the sixth Hong Kong Chief Executive will be elected in half a year. Naturally, more and more people in society are concerned about who will do the next Chief Executive.
But more than "who will be the chief executive", what we need to think about is what kind of leadership and policies Hong Kong needs.
When Huang Liuquan explained the "14th Five-Year Plan", he emphasized that Hong Kong needs to connect ideas and ideas. The fundamental concept of the "14th Five-Year Plan" is to "promote the common prosperity of all people", "all-round social progress", and "satisfy the public for the better." Life expectancy."
If those who govern Hong Kong cannot use these values as a guide, how can we lead the society in the direction of the goal?
How can people who only have slogans but lack fundamental ideas make Hong Kong a good governance?
