In less than 10 days, Carrie Lam, the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, will step down. A few days ago, in an exclusive interview with Phoenix SATELLITE TV, she reviewed her 42-year public career, and Carrie Lam said that although she may not have done perfectly, she never avoided problems. She also believes that now is a good time to "do things" and hopes that there will be women in Hong Kong as chief executives in the future.
Looking back on 40 years of public service, Carrie Lam: Nothing is taken refuge
Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam:
I am the first female chief executive, and I hope that there will be a female chief executive [in Hong Kong] in the future. After all, this person (I) has served In Hong Kong for 42 years, 42 years without interruption, she may not be perfect, but she does not avoid problems, she is not afraid of things.
Lam, who has been in the government for more than 40 years and has always had a tough style, has been crowned with the title of "good fight". On the day of the 2015 political reform plan voted on the Legislative Council, before speaking, she wrote a sentence on paper: "Too careful, take care of your body." In the end, the plan was not approved, which she regarded as one of the setbacks encountered on the road to politics.
Phoenix TV reporter Jin Xiaofei:
Have you ever wondered whether the trait of "good heart" is an advantage for you, or does it sometimes hurt you, or makes you more upset?
Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam:
I am a very attentive person, very attentive to my work has a great motivation, but when I am very attentive, I can't put down many things, this is inevitable, two sides of a copper coin.
During his tenure, he proposed large-scale projects such as the "Northern Metropolitan Area"
During her term of office, Carrie Lam cheng yuet-ngor proposed large-scale development projects, including the "Northern Metropolitan Area" and "Lantau Tomorrow", although she could no longer personally promote them, she hoped that the new SAR government could continue to implement them.
Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam:
I believe that there will still be opposition, so how can we seriously deal with these different opinions in general and in the political situation that has stabilized, so that we can speed up the implementation of these two large blueprints? This will be the topic to be considered by the next (SAR) government in the future.
Carrie Lam: The vast majority of Hong Kong people are proud of their national development
As for how to better promote the "return of the people's hearts" in the future, Carrie Lam said that the people of the two places are "thicker than water", and the vast majority of Hong Kong people still support and agree with the development of the country and are proud of the country's development. She hopes that the Palace Museum in Hong Kong, which she has single-handedly promoted and will open in early July, can play such a role.
Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam:
Because to have a centripetal force and a sense of identity with your own country, you must understand the history of the country. Now we have so many treasures in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and every treasure on display has a history, as long as our young people are willing to visit the (Hong Kong) Palace Museum, I believe that over time, this sense of national identity and national identity will arise spontaneously.
Carrie Lam: It's a good time to "do things", and the prospects for every category in Hong Kong are bright
Phoenix TV reporter Jin Xiaofei:
"50 years unchanged", now 25 years have passed, how to look at Hong Kong in the next 25 years? You previously proposed that Hong Kong has entered a "new era", how to look at the development of Hong Kong in the next 25 years?
Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam:
I think the whole concept of "one country, two systems" will go beyond 50 years, I don't have to look at the next 25 years, I think in the next 10 to 15 years, Hong Kong will achieve very good results in several aspects.
One is the housing (problem) that citizens are most concerned about, because I have seen where the future supply is, and now it is time to speed up and build consensus to implement it, and there will be a gap in the next 15 to 20 years; In terms of I&T, Hong Kong will really go to a new level, and it is also because we have invested a lot in these five years. In addition, Hong Kong's foundation is very good, Hong Kong's culture will be more diverse, and it will be stronger in finance, shipping and shipping.
In every category, the prospects I see are bright, and there is no political attrition and strife. In fact, it is time to do things, but unfortunately I have retired, and I will eagerly watch the officials who are still in the government or new to the government add color to this beautiful blueprint of Hong Kong.
As for her plans after leaving office, Mrs. Lam said she would go back to the mainland with her husband to complete quarantine, then travel around the country, including her favorite north, and reminisce with mainland officials who have dealt with each other for many years and are familiar with each other, because she is a "very humane" person.
