I think it is definitely a good thing. I have said many times that this is Hong Kong’s Dinghai God Needle. Let Hong Kong people know that there are actually “two systems” after “one country”. Hong Kong is not a “bridgehead” against the chaotic port ". That is to let people bear the consequences. I think this is very important. Let people know that if you act violently, you will fight against chaos in Hong Kong, and there will be consequences if you endanger national security.

I hope that after the enactment of the National Security Law of Hong Kong, the right of different people to speak can be protected. I am a middle class. In fact, the middle class in Hong Kong is very simple. Work and work are hard work and hard work. I think I can go to Causeway Bay for shopping. I want to eat. People will stop me, I don't want (Hong Kong) to be as chaotic as before. Maybe my feelings will be very deep, because I really gave them (privately), but fortunately, I’m not dead, and I took back a life, so I feel very deep, the country has finally protected us, and the country has finally protected us with legislation Too.
