Farewell Article: Hong Kong's Constitutional Democracy Has Been Confirmed Promise
Zhong Jianhua's last column, entitled "Farewell: Continuing to Pursue Real Democracy", mentioned that most of today's civilized and developed countries that are politically clear and stable for a long time use the theory of the French thinker Montesquieu as their constitution. , The foundation of democracy and legal system, there is no East or West distinction.
Even though the system design is different, the results pursued are the same.
Hong Kong develops democracy and way of life in accordance with this, and is guaranteed by the promise of "50 years unchanged."
He pointed out that the Basic Law's establishment of "step-by-step progress towards universal suffrage" is accepted by everyone, "but if the so-called 'step-by-step' is to stay in place indefinitely or even go backwards, the so-called 'time is ripe' is to wait for an event that will never come. To be officially recognized as an era of purity", the civilization and progress of today may never appear.
Zhong Jianhua pointed out that it is a pity to suspend the writing of the column for six years, but stressed that he will complete other articles on the original topic and publish them on Facebook later.

Was told to "suspend" last Thursday, the column accumulated more than 650 articles
Zhong Jianhua felt pity to stop writing the column, and believed that in the past, newspapers flourished because, apart from news, the editors and columns were the ones that could "hose readers" the most.
In another Facebook post, he pointed out that the column started in March 2015 and mainly commented on issues related to public administration, social policies and services, but "reasonable policies are of course inseparable from a civilized concept of development and a democratic and open system. .” Zhong Jianhua pointed out that he occasionally touched on political issues, but did not write too much.
He said that the column was written in a disciplined manner twice a week, with more than 700 words each time, and a total of 656 articles had been written, most of which did not deviate from the main axis.
At the beginning of this month, the topic scope for the end of February had been conceived. By last Thursday night, I knew that the column had to be "suspended", but I would still complete the remaining articles and post them on Facebook later: "How about a little later, let's do it later!"
