感謝HKFP的訪問，整理了近這幾個月來，遊走於社區工作與國際倡議的想法。
國際 /As Wong found out, community work required not just different techniques, but also a different way of thinking about himself and the people he is trying to help.
“Recently I did an interview. I was [called] ‘the bravest human being on the planet,’” Wong said, grinning ear to ear.
“After I heard that, I wanted to laugh so hard… There really is a gap in how the international press understands Hong Kong’s political stars.”
The bravest human being on the planet lives with his family in South Horizons, Ap Lei Chau.
Lately, the bravest human and his colleagues organised a tour group for Southern District residents to visit a horse-riding school, and on another occasion helped them catch rats.//
社區 //“Young, non-traditional parties always wanted to differentiate themselves… [but] I have always believed that the key is not about the format, but the message,” Wong said.
He recalled that, in 2013, Au Nok-hin had invited law professor Benny Tai – a co-founder of “Occupy Central with Love and Peace” – to speak at a snake soup dinner. This proved that conventional means can be used for unconventional ends, Wong said.
Other than meals, Wong has also organised tours for residents to go to a nearby craft beer brewery. “It looks trendier than the snake soup dinner, but strictly speaking, the model is the same.”
Wong is also involved in community issues such as gathering opinions on whether a bus station should have an additional canopy above or an extra chair, or whether a community centre should have a water fountain. Or whether there should be new housing development projects or a new hotel in Ap Lei Chau, where the population density is the second highest in Hong Kong.//
選舉 //“Being barred from election is not what kills you,” he said.
He did not seem especially worried about his predicament. “What kills you is spending all your time thinking about elections, and then realising you don’t know how to do anything else.”
Some commentators have said that Demosisto has been turned into an “election machine,” owing to the way it wields support in the Southern District as well as how it offers support to like-minded politicians and relevant causes across Hong Kong Island.
Wong did not disagree with the assessment. He pointed out certain changes the party has gone through in recent months: at its second anniversary in May, Demosisto announced that it would transform itself from a political party into a “civil political group” that aims to lead social movements rather than run for elections.
“One question is: if I run for election, would it be more beneficial to put all my time into the legislature? Or would it be more beneficial for someone else to run, so that I can use my time and effort outside the legislature?” he said.//
