She was the first woman in Hong Kong history to be appointed secretary for security, and she took the lead in promoting the SAR passport; she attacked the key points in the face of British conspiracies; she dared to refute national sovereignty in front of her face at an international conference and left the table in anger.
He studied young and intended to enter politics
Born in 1950 to a wealthy family in Hong Kong, Ye Liu Shuyi's father, Liu Fucheng, was an overseas Chinese from Singapore who had earlier done business in Southeast Asia. Liu Fucheng had close ties with the Communists at the time and had funded Communist military supplies during the war.
Ye Liu Shuyi's mother, Hua Caifeng, was the daughter of the commander of the 19th Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and was once an actress. In fact, Ye Liu Shuyi's ancestral home is Foshan Nanhai Baisha Bridge, and later because of the war, the family was forced to settle in Hong Kong. Ye Liu Shuyi, who was born in such a family, was born with a sense of family and country in her bones.
Ye Liu Shuyi is talented and intelligent, and has been the kind of child of other people since she was a child. When he was in middle school, he was sent by his parents to St. Stephen's College in Hong Kong. The school is actually a school that mainly teaches English, but there are many compulsory subjects taught in Chinese, such as Chinese Chinese, Chinese history and Mandarin. At that time, Hong Kong was still under British colonial rule, and St. Stephen's College in Hong Kong was still a school that attached great importance to comprehensive education under the British authorities in Hong Kong.
After graduating from high school, Ye lau lau lau was admitted to the University of Hong Kong with honors and majored in English literature. During the university period, Ye Liu Shuyi maintained her own academic hegemonic personality while also actively participating in the activities of the student union, at this time her leadership and organizational ability has been initially reflected.
In 1972, at the age of 22, She graduated from the University of Hong Kong with first class honours. But before she could start her grand plan, her father, Liu Fucheng, failed in business and took all the family's savings into it. In desperation, Ye Liu Shuyi can only do two jobs at the same time to subsidize the family.
During this time, Ye Liu Shuyi got up early every day and was greedy, exhausted at the end of the day, so much that her fingers did not want to move. However, the reward was not much, which made Ye Liu Shuyi deeply aware of her lack of ability. So after the family conditions improved, Ye Liu Shuyi went to the University of Glasgow in Scotland to study for a master's degree in English literature.
In the 4 years of studying in the UK, Ye Liu Shuyi's biggest feeling is that no one will love you except her own country. At that time, Ye Liu Shuyi lived alone near the University of Gran Glasgow, and no one cared about how life was every day except for academic exchanges with teachers and some British students when she went to school. Whether you are sick or the computer is broken, the teacher will not take more care of you because of the friendship between teachers and students, let alone between classmates, they are very anti-Chinese.
Of course, how indifferent people there are in this world, there are also how warm people there are. But during Ye Liu Shuyi's stay in Britain, all the rare and precious warmth came from her compatriots. Because the family lineage is not as good as before, Ye Liu Shuyi will go out to work part-time to earn living expenses to reduce the burden on her parents.
At that time, many Chinese went to the Uk to open a Chinese restaurant in order to make a living, and Ye Liu Shuyi had a part-time job to teach English to the daughter of one of the Chinese restaurant owners to help her adapt to life in the UK as soon as possible.
The owner of this meal couple, distressed Ye Liu Shuyi, a little girl alone in a foreign country, so often asked her to go to the restaurant to eat, usually in life will also take care of her as much as possible.
This cold and warm experience gave Ye Liu Shuyi the idea of entering politics, and she wanted to do something for her motherland and lovely compatriots.
Entering the political arena, sudden changes have taken place
So in 1975, after graduating and returning to China, Ip Lau Shu-yee was admitted as an administrative officer of the Hong Kong government in the same year and officially began to enter the political arena. Although she was only a small grassroots administrative official, Liu Shuyi did not dare to slack off in her work. As a halfway politician, she knows her inadequacies.
Therefore, in addition to completing her own work, Ye Liu Shuyi often observes how the seniors around her handle the work, and sometimes prefers to be more tired and help lay hands, just in order to learn more things. Kung Fu paid off, only 5 years into politics, Ip Lau Shuk Yee was appreciated by her superiors, appointed as assistant new territories secretary, and then promoted to chief assistant security department.
During the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, because the colonial regime had been entangled in Hong Kong for a long time, it was not easy to smoothly transition to the people's power, and the obstacles from all sides were not to mention, just straightening out the issue of nationality and entry and exit was enough to cause people a headache, and if it was not handled well, it would affect the reputation of the people's government
However, as a member of the Uk-China Joint Liaison Group, Ip Lau Shuk Yee successfully completed her mission, and as a result, in 1996, she was parachuted into the Post office of the People's Immigration Department. Before Ip Lau Suk-yee, there was no precedent for an administrative officer to serve as Director of The People's Immigration. Not only that, Ye Liu Shuyi was also the first woman to take charge of the disciplined force.
In 1997, after the transfer of power in Hong Kong was completed, Ip became the Director of Immigration directly. With the change of regime, the team of the Immigration Department also needs to be reorganized, but this is still a new department, and not many people are willing to come to this Shimizu Yamen. But it took ip lau shu-yee only two years to solve the problem of insufficient manpower, making the Immigration Department a fragrant feast among many departments.
Because of her outstanding performance during her tenure, in 1998, Ip became the first woman in Hong Kong history to be appointed secretary for security, managing a disciplined force of more than 63,000 people, accounting for one-third of the total number of civil servants in Hong Kong.
During her tenure as Secretary for Security, Ip not only helped Hong Kong win visa-free SAR passports from various countries, but also solved the problem of Vietnamese boat people who have plagued Hong Kong for a long time. Because Ip Lau Suk-yee's style of acting is very strong when dealing with these thorny issues, she is called the "Hong Kong version of the Iron Lady" by the public.
It is not difficult to see that Ye Liu Shuyi's journey can be described as a smooth step, and even in the Hong Kong polls at that time, Ip Liu Shuyi was the most popular director of the public. But in the 2002 revision storm, Ye Liu Shuyi fell into the bottom of her political career.
At that time, although Hong Kong had been back to the embrace of the motherland for 5 years, there was still no national security law to safeguard national sovereignty. Article 23 of Hong Kong's Basic Law is all relevant legislation, but some politicians with ulterior motives have prevented the formal promotion of Article 23 legislation.
Moreover, the relevant departments of the SAR government are unwilling to be the one who came out against these oppositions, and the two sides are deadlocked.
At this time, Ip Lau Suk-yee stood up and said passionately: "As a Chinese, and as the Secretary for Security, I have the responsibility to push this sacred work forward!" Not only that, Ye Liu Shuyi also called on the public to support the 23-point legislation on various occasions. In this way, of course, the opposition will not do it.
They also called on some unknown people to march in the streets to resist Ye Liu Shuyi's claims, and Ye Liu Shuyi became the most unpopular government official.
For a while, people were panicked, and in order to avoid causing greater chaos, Ye Liu Shuyi voluntarily resigned. After that, Ye Liu Shuyi left Hong Kong with her daughter and entered Stanford University for the second time.
Return to the political arena and safeguard the interests of the motherland
In 1986, As an important training object of the Hong Kong government, She studied for a master's degree in business administration at Stanford University. This time, Ye Liu Shuyi, at Stanford University, mainly focused on politics, in order to prepare for the future return to politics.
In 2006, after obtaining another master's degree, Ip returned to Hong Kong, hoping to promote the development of Hong Kong's democratic political system through her own efforts. Subsequently, Ip Liu Shuyi established the Huixian Think Tank, a non-governmental think tank organization, dedicated to the study of Hong Kong's political system and economic development, and vigorously advocated the implementation of a parliamentary system in Hong Kong in the name of Huixian Think Tank.
In 2008, Ms Ip actively participated in the election and finally successfully became a member of the Hong Kong Island District Legislative Council, officially returning to politics.
Today, Ip Lau Shuk Yee is a non-official member of the Hong Kong Parliament, and her style of acting is still very strong, especially when it comes to safeguarding national interests. Not long ago, the United Kingdom has been making small moves against Hong Kong, and has also relaxed the conditions for British nationals to emigrate to the United Kingdom for overseas passport holders.
And Ye Liu Shuyi said in an interview on the program: "Many young people think that foreign countries are paradises, will the British regard you as a national?" It's so naïve that they only accept talent, that is, people they think are useful. ”
Later, Ye Liu Shuyi directly suggested that since some Hong Kong people think that the Moon in the UK is relatively round, they would rather sit in immigration prison for 6 years than move to the UK.
That would prove that they don't want to be Chinese, they can end their special treatment of having "dual citizenship", they must choose one or the other, Chinese nationality is not an option they can use as a spare tire. Ye Liu Shuyi's suggestion can be said to be a sharp blow to the point of the British countermeasure.
In addition, in March this year, the performance of the combat effectiveness explosion at the "Wion TV Global Summit" video conference caused a wave of praise on the Internet. At that time, when Tsai Mingxian, head of the defense department of the Taiwan authorities, spoke, he not only referred to Taiwan as "country", but also directly referred to the new coronavirus as "Wuhan virus".
In a speech that followed, Ye Liu Shuyi refuted Tsai Mingxian's previous speech several times, and left the table indignantly after stressing that "Taiwan is not a state, but a rebellious province of China", capitalized "domineering"
In fact, there are many female politicians and diplomats like Liu Shuyi in China. For example, China's fifth female foreign ministry spokesperson is also Hua Chunying, who is currently the director of the Information Department of the Chinese Foreign Ministry;
Another example is Fu Ying, the first female press spokesperson of the Chinese University.
With an elegant and sharp attitude, they safeguard the interests and image of the country and show China's great power style!
