The new term of the Legislative Council reorganized the electoral committee sector, attracting 51 people to compete for 40 seats, including a number of people from the Hong Kong district representing the CPPCC. Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, was one of them.

Wu Jiezhuang, the former chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, said in an interview with "Hong Kong 01" that he was born at the grassroots level. Even though the current economic conditions and social status have been significantly improved, he will never "forget his roots". The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, "I like to go to the market to buy food, and I use the Octopus every day."

He hopes to successfully enter the parliament and promote the government to speed up the search for land to build houses, hoping that no more children will live in subdivided houses within 10 years.


As a founding member of the Mainland Development Association of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Industry, he has invested heavily in the film industry. Wu Jiezhuang expressed his support for the free development of local cultural and creative industries and the blossoming of a hundred flowers. Will appear in Hong Kong.


To help young people break away from the grassroots "chasing dreams"

Wu Jiezhuang, 47, lived in cubicles when he was a child. Later, he used public housing and home housing to improve his living environment step by step. After graduating from the University of Science and Technology, he continued to study and start his own business. He studied at Tsinghua University and has transformed into a venture capital investor in recent years, investing in biotechnology and financial technology start-ups in Hong Kong, the Mainland and South Korea.

"I have never separated from young people." Wu Jiezhuang emphasized at the beginning of the interview.

"I have played many roles, but my purpose has never changed. It is to serve young people. I will serve as a tutor in some university summer exchange internship activities. At my alma mater, Polytechnic University, I will still be a part-time professor, teaching industrial systems engineering. , Business management development, financing management, etc. These are all my personal experience. I hope to help students benefit more. I will help young people to leave the grassroots and move up, help them find suitable jobs, and make Hong Kong a professional The space is a place where young people can "have dreams and chase dreams"."

He mentioned that although in the economic environment, people are no longer at the grassroots level, they have never separated from the grassroots: "From the grassroots to the middle class, I have never left. I am currently a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. "Let me better reflect the problems of the grassroots. Although I have a private car, I often take public transportation. At least I use the Octopus for daily use. I enjoy taking the MTR to see the daily life of the people. Look and feel the pulse of this society. I go to tea restaurants to drink milk tea, food stalls to eat common people’s meals, and go to the market to buy vegetables. I often do it. I will not stop because my status and economic situation have changed.”

Wu Jiezhuang stated that even if he did not participate in the election through direct elections, if he is elected, he will open a regional office to accept the help of the public. It is to better play the function of monitoring governance from another angle and look at the interests of Hong Kong citizens from the overall picture."

Wu Jiezhuang said that the goal is to make Hong Kong no more children born in sub-divided houses within 10 years.

Born in a cubicle family, Wu: The sub-district has poor growth for children

In reality, Wu Jiezhuang said frankly that the land and housing problem in Hong Kong is quite serious, especially when he was born in a cubicle family. He feels particularly deeply about this phenomenon: "I hope that in 10 years or less, there will be no children born in Hong Kong. In subdivided households, it is really very, very bad for their growth." He hopes that if he is fortunate enough to be elected, he can continue to promote the SAR government to speed up land search, strengthen transit and transitional housing policies, and increase land supply in the long run." There are some urban planning procedures. Can they be optimized to reduce time? How can public-private collaboration be improved?"

In terms of innovation and technology in his old bank, he also hopes that future SAR government policies can guide more young people to join the innovation and technology industry and attract investment: "Not long ago, I met with one of the co-founders (co-founders) of Tencent in the Mainland. Saying that I am an innovation and technology company, he seems to feel a little "strange" for Hong Kong people to devote themselves to innovation and technology; I have also met people in Taiwan who directly asked "Hong Kong people engage in technology?" But in fact, Hong Kong has always had the innovation and technology soil. There are a full 11 unicorn companies (referring to companies that have been established for less than 10 years and have a valuation of more than US$1 billion but have not been listed). It depends on whether government policies can be well coordinated to allow talents to play. In the future, I will be in Xintian. In the direction of the development of the Science and Technology City, more suggestions will be made."

Advocate the introduction of a "political negotiation" culture

In the Mainland, the full name of the CPPCC is "The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference." Wu Jiezhuang said that if he is elected, he hopes to introduce a culture of political consultation in the Legislative Council in the future. Drain!” He explained that during his tenure as the CPPCC, he would put forward proposals on people’s livelihood policies from time to time, which were valued by the chairman of the CPPCC and included in the discussion items. Different CPPCC members would also have a number of opinions to be absorbed. In Hong Kong’s new political environment, legislation There will be more room for rational political discussion: "Different individuals have different interests and appeals. There is no issue that everyone agrees on. The most important thing is to take the greatest common divisor and balance everyone's demands as much as possible."

He hopes that in the future he can play the role of a bridge to connect with the general public, all walks of life and the government. For example, a few years ago, there were frequent news of school children committing suicide. It was very sad. He thought that there are actually many things that Members can do. The unfortunate incident accuses political opponents, "For example, contacting civil society to understand the ideas of society, helping children relieve pressure, and communicating with the media to hope that they will not exaggerate too much. Some things are not only legislative, but also good as a legislator. The entry point is to allow everyone to express their opinions on a topic and coordinate in the middle. In the future, 40 members of the Legislative Council will come from the Election Committee. I hope that this group of Members can really represent the overall interests of all Hong Kong citizens and different industries."

I'm not happy about PolyU's battlefield two years ago

Wu Jiezhuang once said in a media interview that entering the Institute of Technology (the predecessor of the University of Technology) in 1993 was a turning point in his life.

However, two years ago today, the Polytechnic University became one of the "battlefields" of the anti-revision demonstration conflict. The police-civilian conflict spread from the campus to the entire Kowloon area and was described as the most intense, violent, and socially affecting battle of the year.

Wu Jiezhuang, who has been honored as an "Outstanding PolyU Alumni", said: "It is not only PolyU. I still remember the political events two years ago. Even if I don't want to mention it, I will always remember that my home was destroyed. Of course I am very unhappy, but I have also noticed that PolyU has recovered very quickly after this incident. In the QS World University Rankings, it was still out of the 100th place two years ago, and now it has advanced to more than 70 by leaps and bounds. Several subjects are even more successful. In the forefront of the world." He hopes that after Hong Kong has the "National Security Law" and the improvement of the electoral system, society can learn from history and prevent similar things from happening again.

He also mentioned that no matter where in the world, young people must have a good development and dream-seeking space. "First stability and then prosperity" is the basic condition: "For an extreme example, the war in Afghanistan has lasted for so many years, and it is impossible for young people. Talking about dreams, so I also hope that everyone will look at it from a higher perspective and cherish the hard-won stability of Hong Kong."

Mainland "little fresh meat" idols not only tend to be feminine in appearance, they are also accused of being too feminine, and are accused of "mother guns."

It’s not surprising that it’s not surprising that a men’s group breaks out of the local market

In addition to being involved in innovation and technology, investing in venture capital, and politics, Wu Jiezhuang is also active in the performing arts industry and is a founding member of the Mainland Development Association for the Hong Kong Performing Arts Industry.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a notice in September this year, stating that it will further strengthen the management of cultural programs and their personnel, and strictly rectify the illegal and moral failures of artists, and the chaos in the "rice circle". "The atmosphere" even more clearly stated that it will severely crack down on the "girly cannon" aesthetic in entertainment programs.

The film producer Huang Baiming said on a forum recently that the trend of young people in Mainland China and Hong Kong in pursuit of celebrity artists was too "popular and crazy". Some people sought after "feminized" male artists, referring to the rise of a country. There is no way to be without a man, and we must fight against the "girly artillery culture."

The outside world can't help but pay attention to whether the mainland's rectification of the cultural and creative industries will affect Hong Kong as the two places have more frequent exchanges and the "red line" is tightened.

Wu Jiezhuang pointed out: "The Mainland has its own national conditions. I believe the relevant departments will launch new policies after careful consideration. This is inconvenient for me to comment too much. However, Hong Kong has always been under "one country, two systems" and has its own set of cultural industry characteristics. It also started as early as the 1980s and 1990s, and it is quite developed. As long as it is legal, I believe that a hundred flowers will bloom.” Regarding Huang Baiming’s remarks, Wu said that the other party is a respected senior. It is human nature to have different opinions and will not comment specifically. "In short, I personally think that there is no question of "beating" this or "beating" that."

He also mentioned that the current hot boy group MIRROR is still in the early stages of development. Of course, it will pay more attention to the local market, but if it grows to a certain scale over time, it is quite normal to have the idea of ​​"breaking out of Hong Kong": "Of course this is different. The company’s own strategy, the combination you mentioned just now, has only been out for about two or three years, and it is normal to focus on the local market. But when it reaches a certain point, it will continue to serve only seven or eight million people. In the market, I still hope that, like some artists in Korea, some good products will be promoted to entertain more people. Maybe someone has a different view."

Wu Jiezhuang has signed up to participate in the election of the Legislative Council Election Committee.
