"The statements in question are reasonable, powerful and measured ... I hope that you will continue to contribute wisdom to Hong Kong-related diplomacy in the future and jointly make positive contributions to the stability and long-term development of 'one country, two systems'." ”
Here is a thank-you letter, payment: Commissioner of the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, 28 March 2022.
From March last year to March this year, Chan Ying-xin, a Hong Kong girl in her early 30s, spoke remotely at UN meetings four times. She framed the letter and placed it on her desk.
"I don't need a stab vest and a fire blanket anymore for this candidacy" – in her most recent speech, she showed the world two outfits for the "black rioters" when she ran in the 2019 district council elections.
"Now they're here too," she said as she pulled out a large bag from under the table... In the office of the Hong Kong Legislative Council Building, Chen Yingxin had a remote conversation with Zhuang Shengchun, a reporter for CCTV News's "Theory of Relativity", laughing and recalling.
Youth, high education, graduated from a prestigious school to take root in the poor community of Hong Kong to work, the youngest member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council this year, overseas platform self-media "fans" of more than 300,000 ... During the dialogue, Chen Yingxin shared the "courage" behind her resume, which is a hope from young people in Hong Kong: "Influence more people and make building Hong Kong our goal in life".
CCTV News "The Theory of Relativity" Series of interviews on the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland" "Relativity under the Lion Rock", the fourth issue of the online today: "Hong Kong Girl Chen Yingxin: Speaking Out at the United Nations".
"Now there are representatives of the United Nations Association of China."
15 March 2021, 90 seconds of the UN Human Rights Council meeting, 90 seconds, is the time for Chen Yingxin to speak, the theme is the Hong Kong National Security Law that came into effect on June 30, 2020.
"The first thing that came to my mind was the image of Wu Shuqing." In preparation for this speech, Chen Yingxin's first thought was Wu Shuqing, who exposed the truth of the "black riot" in and around the UN Human Rights Council in September 2019. Ms. Ng, then 71, noted that the radicals do not represent the people of Hong Kong and that their escalating violence has devastated the city and the livelihoods of most of the city's population.
"It is difficult for 'black rioters' to face the truth. They carried out systematic and systematic violent attacks on Ms. Wu's family business, and Ms. Wu herself was maliciously abused. However, the international media downplayed or even ignored what the 'black rioters' did to Ms. Wu. Chen Yingxin said in her speech, "After the Hong Kong National Security Law landed, the 'black riot' disappeared, Ms. Wu's property rights were guaranteed, and I did not need to worry about my personal safety because I told the truth." ”
The video of the speech was widely disseminated on social networks. "Have you received immediate feedback on the several speeches at the United Nations?" The reporter asked.
"In my first speech, I shared a book by a foreign writer living in Hong Kong, revealing the exaggeration of protesters by 'black rioters' and the bias of Western media reports." Chen Yingxin said that at that time, there were foreign participants who used the system of meetings to 'small window' me, saying that he also wanted to see the book. ”
Before that, speaking out to foreign audiences has become Chen Yingxin's daily routine. "The experience of 2019 made me realize one thing, it is not enough to do it offline, but also to say it online and tell my own story."
Chen Yingxin opened a channel on YouTube, more than two years later, has more than 300,000 "fans", "This is a big challenge, not only physical, but also mental." Below the video, malicious attacks still exist, "but don't be afraid, the most important thing is courage." ”
Before stepping down as a District Council member in 2019, Chan Yingxin presented a gift to her in-laws in Lige Village, Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong: the village's first lift, which leads from the ground to the overpass. From application to final opening, throughout her tenure.
In 2014, after studying two bachelor's degrees in economics and finance and law, the 24-year-old Did not enter the "BRICS industry" but directly rooted in Sham Shui Po, a poorer area of Hong Kong, to serve the grassroots. Pass the elevator, block the road hole, visit the subdivided house... It became her daily routine.
The classmates were surprised, but for Chen Yingxin, this was not a difficult choice.
"I volunteered to go." Under the influence of her father, Chen Yingxin has been volunteering in the community since she was a student, "that was the first time I went to Sham Shui Po District - to visit the subdivided houses to see what they needed." "A residential unit of ordinary size, which is divided into no less than two independent residential units for rent, is called a "subdivided house". At present, there are still more than 200,000 people in Hong Kong living there.
Kill lice
When she first entered the community, Chen Yingxin saw lice for the first time. "The environmental hygiene of some elderly people's homes is not very good, and there are some lice, so I will help them kill the lice myself." I have to be involved before I can report to the government departments. ”
A year later, Chen Yingxin, who was running for the district council for the first time, defeated her opponent who had been re-elected in the district for 12 years with the title of "Lice Wang Xin".
"The name 'Lice Wang Xin' is very good, reflecting that I have done the regional work very carefully and implemented it." At that time, some people also called me 'Little Flower', and I didn't like it very much. We do community work, we have to be tough, because we have to fight for the rights and interests of the citizens. So, I started calling myself 'Big Tree'. Because big trees can help citizens shelter from the wind and rain, and they can also take root in the community. ”
"It's July 1st soon, do you want to talk to your dad?"
Dad is Chen Yingxin's number one "fan" and number one volunteer.
In 2019, when she needed to wear a stab-proof suit and carry a fire blanket to the street station to solicit tickets — "Dad basically accompanied me every day because he was worried about my safety." ”
Dad worked at customs. Before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Dad established the first patriotic trade union in the Hong Kong Discipline Force. Under his influence, when Chen Yingxin applied for university, she chose to major in economics, "that is, I hope to learn a little more about the concept of economics, so that the 1.3 billion people in our country at that time can have a good life." ”
"At that time, did you think so big?"
"That's really the application at that time — I hope that 1.3 billion people can have good places to live and live a good life." When I grew up, I didn't have the opportunity to make this contribution, because our country has successfully overcome poverty. This is really powerful! Chen Yingxin smiled and recalled
When she was a child, Chen Yingxin was one on the right in a row
When I was young, my father was always busy with the trade union and couldn't see anyone. Today, the father and daughter are reversed, and the father mostly watches his daughter in the video - "I believe that mom and dad will definitely watch this visit, and what they say, I will use Cantonese." ”
Chen Yingxin paused and said: "Because I am in politics, I have always worried my parents. Dad was a civil servant, so he knew that it was not easy to enter politics. I know that in the minds of parents, they don't want their daughters to take such a hard road. However, I would like to tell my parents that after we improve the electoral system, we can have greater confidence in politics. I also hope that through the path I have traveled, I can tell my parents that my choice is correct. ”
"The Theory of Relativity Under the Lion Rock", this is the last issue.
The four episodes of the program talked to four Hong Kong people who had worked hard from the grassroots level.
We analyzed all the interview texts into a data analysis – the keyword with the highest frequency of occurrences was "Hong Kong"; The second highest is the "young man". The story of Hong Kong girl Chen Yingxin, as the end of this series, before the end of the dialogue, she said: "If we stand up a little more and go out of our own way, maybe we can influence more people and let them, like us, take the construction of Hong Kong as our life goal."
Hong Kong is about to usher in the 25th anniversary of the return to the motherland, bless the compatriots, bless the young people of the motherland, all the way.
