The new selection system "touchstone"

The 49-year-old Fang Longfei was engaged in the transportation industry before stepping into the political circle. He said that he was totally cold about politics. Until he moved to Yat Tung Village, Tung Chung in 2014, there were successive tragedies such as young and young students and the elderly who were only discovered a few days after their deaths at home in the village. , Made him determined to join the ranks of voluntary community officers, "trying to do a good job for the community."

In the district election last year, Fang Longfei fought in the North District of Yat Tung Village as a political amateur, and was successfully elected as an outlying island district councillor.

Fang Longfei "ran out of silence" on the first day of the nomination period and became the first non-organized candidate to be nominated by ten election committees to register for direct elections.

Fang Longfei pointed out that ﹛participation is because many people’s livelihood issues are difficult to resolve at the district council level. He hopes that through his membership of the Legislative Council, the people’s livelihood issues that have been accumulated for a long time can be handled from top to bottom, and the problems faced by the lower class can be directly reflected to the government.

He described himself as a "touchstone" under the new electoral system, aiming to test whether the government is really showing goodwill and willingness to tolerate multiple voices. "I want to be a touchstone. I want to take this opportunity to try and frighten multiple voices. I really joined the parliament and scared the government out of good intentions to return to a good society."

Fang Longfei denied that there was a "middleman" who lobbied for the election and did not receive "blessings." All nominations were obtained by "moving emotions and reasoning". When lobbying the election committee for support, he has stated that he will stick to his democratic beliefs. Do things that go against its democratic ideals and principles.

Among the 10 election committee nominations obtained by Fang Longfei, Guan Haoming, Secretary General of the Anglican Education Ministry, revealed that he is a Christian. After talking on the phone and meeting in person, he was finally nominated by the other party. "Everyone talks about three or four words in the office. I say I want to improve people’s livelihood. Politically, if everyone is too hard to tell, I will ask everyone to stop. Stop and examine it."

Among the ten election committee nominations obtained by Fang Longfei included Guan Haoming, Secretary-General of the Anglican Education Department. He revealed that he is a Christian. He learned about the time of "Guan Pastor" in the church through his friends, so he met with the opposite party and lobbyed for support.

Called the church to capture "Guan Mu" for nominations

Fang Longfei, who successfully passed the oath of district councillors earlier, described the decision to participate in the election is very difficult. After a lot of troubling and thinking, he is worried that if the district council seats are not passed the qualification review, he will also owe a large amount of money to the government. , But in the end he decided to give it a go. "If the DQ is registered after registration, even the district council (seats) will not be buried, but why should I fight? Many, people’s livelihood is basically not enough. So I have to fight, I have nothing, at most (after DQ) go out and return to the car, I really want to bring the voice of the lower class into the parliament."

Looking at the three candidates, Fang Longfei's popularity, momentum, and election resources are far less than those of the other two institutional candidates. Coupled with the lack of pan-pop support, the election sentiment is naturally looked down upon.

Fang Longfei believes that resources, volunteers, and local support are not the focus of this election campaign. He believes that the key to non-establishment victory lies in the word "trust", and believes that as long as the general public and pan-democratic supporters trust him, he believes that he is a firm supporter of democracy. , The position will not be shaken. Naturally, some people will promote and vote for him, "It is meaningless to support me with one or two people. Is it true that a large team is really a winner? Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms 20,000 troops beat Yuan Shao and 800,000 troops? , Why does Renmen win? Because Renmen is confident and the team is good enough."

Fang Longfei said that he understands that his fellow travellers are more sad than heartbroken.

Refers to Article 23 legislation is not compelling

However, after the turmoil of amendments and the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, pan-democratic supporters have very low willingness to vote. Many former district councillors and democrats have criticized the non-establishment faction "voting for communism" and " Collect money".

When asked how to attract this group of "Huang Ying" supporters who have been desperate for the democratic movement to vote, Fang Longfei said that he understood that his fellow travellers felt "more sorrow than heart death", but said bluntly: "If I don't try, the government really is If you want to show goodwill and improve the social situation, you will lose an opportunity for those who support democracy. If the government will go against the righteous and tactics to suppress the democrats, I will be the first to bear the brunt in the future. You vote for me. You have a bad bottom, I have to bear all the political risks; if society really has multiple voices in the future, everyone will know it." He threatened, "I have half of my feet ready to spend the rest of my life in prison," and asked: "You say I'm firm? I'm really an old touchstone, I'm on the rocks at any time!"

Talking about the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law, Fang Longfei believes that since the government said that the implementation of the National Security Law has stabilized Hong Kong, Article 23 of the legislation is not compelling. Bring out Article 23 legislation issues to discuss with the society.

Regarding the anti-revision legislation, he said that many families were torn apart due to the legislative turmoil, and many children were separated from their parents due to political opinions. He believed that the government should not shirk all problems on young people who support democracy, and that an investigation committee should be established. Investigate the incident.

He believes that important issues such as social and economic issues should be dealt with first, and then Article 23 legislative issues should be discussed and discussed. Social discussion.
