Zhou Yongqin

In 1994, the Hong Kong District Council election. The Yuen Long District Council, in response to the increase in the population of Tin Shui Village in Tin Shui Wai, delineated the new Tin Shui Constituency.[6] In the new village, Pro-Beijing camp (Hong Kong), which have traditional power, are competing with foreign parties.[6] Chow Wing Kan finally won 2,093 votes with the support of Tang Siu-tong. The opponent Liberal Party Yeung Yan-fai received only 100 votes. Chow won 96% of the votes[2] and was elected as a member of the Yuen Long District Council at the age of 27.[6]

He actively explored the Tin Shui Wai area for work after and afterwards. He believed that Hong Kong ’s good economy has enabled nuclear families to actively invest in the community after moving into new towns and the society is thriving.[7] After he took office in October 1994, a series of sex crimes occurred in Tin Shui Wai. A female victim notified him of the identified person involved and Chow lured him to the office for police to arrest on the spot.[6] Since then, Chow has repeatedly attacked crimes in Tin Shui Wai.

During the colonial period, the opposition villagers were very dissatisfied with the British Hong Kong government. In the 1995 Hong Kong Legislative election, Governor of Hong Kong Chris Patten adopted direct elections, so that the New Territories West Constituency, which has been dominated by the rural party, was also replaced by the Pro-democracy camp (Hong Kong).[6] After the election, the Registration and Electoral Office announced that about 6,000 out of a total of 110,000 voters in Tuen Mun and Yuen Long districts had failed to vote. Chow, who was Tang Siu-tong ’s deputy, personally submitted an election petition to the High Court.[6] Chow found 108 victims who made mistakes in registration in 1996, hoping to rush to re-election before returning, but the High Court ruled that voter registration is not an election procedure and cannot overturn the results of the election. Chow, who lost the case, still thinks the trial is unfair.[6]

Despite the Handover of Hong Kong, a large number of Gurkha soldiers in the British Forces Overseas Hong Kong settled with their families in Hong Kong after retiring.[2] Chow Wing Kan understands that they have difficulty adapting to Hong Kong society, so he decides to serve as a consultant for many South Asian ethnic groups to help them integrate into Hong Kong society.[2] At the same time, new immigrants from Mainland China have also moved into Tin Shui Wai one after another, which is also not suitable for Culture of Hong Kong.[7] The new residents, together with the original Tin Shui Wai residents, have greatly increased the population and density of the district, which has caused many community problems such as insufficient school degrees.[7] In the early days of the reunification, Tin Shui Wai Jumper happened frequently, and Chow personally persuaded at least 13 people to give up suicide.[7]

In 1999, Chow and his engineers revealed the Tin Chung Court short pile case, forcing the Hong Kong Housing Authority to pay HK $250 million for reinforcement works.[6][3] Chow has always been concerned about the quality of the reinforcement works during the reinforcement works.[8] At the same time, he also questioned whether the Housing Authority has properly monitored the construction works on other issues of Tin Chung Court.[8]

Chow pointed out that increasing attention to promote community building requires the support of different channels.[7] He organized various activities in the Tin Shui Wai District, such as singing activities such as Cantonese opera and Cantopop music, organized volunteer networks, and youth groups such as Scouting and Taekwondo teams in order to make the community more harmonious.[2][7] Chow said that the Tin Hang Village and the subsequent mass destruction in 2004, the Hong Kong government began to adjust the development strategy of the new town in Tin Shui Wai.[7]

As a Christian, Chow is very concerned about the crime of church organization. In 2004, he also provided information to the Hong Kong police Force on the incident of hydrogen peroxide drinking promoted by members of the Hong Kong Church of Zion, including church members, meeting places, audio tapes and victim cases.[9] Eventually, the missionary activities of the Church of Zion disappeared on the streets of Tin Shui Wai.[9] In the same year, he was invited by the CCC Fong Yun Wah Secondary School to serve as the school manager and returned to the church at the invitation of the pastor.[5]

After the reunification, Chow was re-elected for many terms in Yuen Long District Council. He won again in the Tin Shui Constituency with a 84% vote in the 1999 Hong Kong local elections.[10] Although the constituencies in the 2003 Hong Kong local elections changed, the original Shui Wah constituency merged with the 1999 Tin Wah Village to form the Shui Wah constituency,[10] but Chow did not challenge his opponent in this election, and was automatically re-elected as a member of the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance.[10] After Tang Siu-tong retired, Chow, who worked well in the region, was favored by Lau wong-fat and invited by Lau to join the Liberal Party. In 2004, he became Lau ’s manager and became a representative of the rural and institutional factions in Yuen Long.[6][3]

After joining the Liberal Party in 2004, Chow Wing Kan continued to work in the district of Tin Shui Wai, and was re-elected in the Shui Wah Constituency with a 81% vote in the 2007 Hong Kong local elections.[10] In the 2008 Hong Kong Legislative election, he was nominated by the Liberal Party for the New Territories West Constituency. He joined the list of Selina Chow who has been a member of the legislature since 1981, and she was behind her to help her re-elect.[11] However, because the Liberal Party did not support Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23[3] to offend the Hong Kong Liaison Office, he and other members of the rural party voted with other formed political parties,[11] and he also joined the Liberal Party member Lau Wong-fat on the election day for the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong Entering the league to solicit votes,[6] Serena Chow failed to be re-elected, and Chow Wing Kan also failed to be elected.[10] The Liberal Party's defeat triggered Chow Liang Shuk-yee's resignation as vice chairman and a large-scale withdrawal from the party.[12] After joining the party, Lau joined the Business and Professionals Alliance and invited Chow Wing Kan to join, but Chow refused.[6]

Although Chow Wing Kan still maintains a good relationship with Lau Wong-fat in private, Chow remains in the Liberal Party and is no longer a political ally of Lau.[3][6] In the 2011 Hong Kong local elections, Chow faced challenges from the Civic Party Lau Koon-Hang and the institutional independent Ko Chun-Kit in the Shui Wah constituency. In the end, Chow was re-elected with more than half of the votes.[10] However, in the 2012 Hong Kong Legislative election, the Liberal Party did not nominate Chow to be elected.[3] Instead, he fully supported James Tien’s return to the Legislative Council in the New Territories East constituency.[6]

Changjiang Industrial holds a majority stake in Fujiahu, the shopping mall where the former Deyi Kindergarten is located.

In 2014, the Tin Shui Wai shopping mall increased the rent of Fortune Kingswood, which led to the closure of Topkids International Pre-School. Chow found that the Li Ka-shing family's Cheung Kong Holdings owned more than half of the mall's equity, which caused the public to put pressure on Li's.[6] He even attended the forum as a guest to protest the rent increase without being invited by the city forum.[6][13] Although in the end, kindergartens could not change the results of the suspension, but in the District Council report later that week,[8] kindergartens lacked government support and believed that the government needs to take more responsibility for early childhood education.[10]
