1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,452 Nearly 90,000 of us Chinese 2 00:00:02,017 --> 00:00:05,869 live here and pay taxes, 3 00:00:05,906 --> 00:00:08,806 raise their kids here, 4 00:00:08,843 --> 00:00:11,480 spend and work here, but can't vote. 5 00:00:11,553 --> 00:00:12,718 If you don't have someone who speaks Mandarin, 6 00:00:12,755 --> 00:00:14,094 I'm leaving. I won't open an account. 7 00:00:14,131 --> 00:00:17,150 And sure enough, this was 20-some years ago, 8 00:00:17,187 --> 00:00:19,331 Vancouver's airport suddenly 9 00:00:19,368 --> 00:00:21,206 had signs in Chinese. 10 00:00:23,881 --> 00:00:25,971 Another very important point I want 11 00:00:26,008 --> 00:00:28,892 to raise in this election: in Richmond, 12 00:00:29,327 --> 00:00:31,466 there are a great many PRs. 13 00:00:31,845 --> 00:00:33,744 Among us Chinese alone, nearly 90,000. 14 00:00:34,308 --> 00:00:37,049 These people live here, 15 00:00:37,086 --> 00:00:39,834 pay taxes, raise their kids, 16 00:00:39,871 --> 00:00:42,554 spend and work here, 17 00:00:42,591 --> 00:00:45,276 but they have no vote. I think that 18 00:00:45,313 --> 00:00:47,795 is somewhat unfair to them. 19 00:00:47,832 --> 00:00:50,468 But this isn't a provincial 20 00:00:50,505 --> 00:00:53,597 election issue. It's a federal one. 21 00:00:53,634 --> 00:00:56,764 These permanent residents living here, 22 00:00:56,801 --> 00:00:59,429 since they live here permanently, 23 00:00:59,466 --> 00:01:01,075 your policies actually 24 00:01:01,112 --> 00:01:02,799 affect them. They pay taxes. 25 00:01:02,836 --> 00:01:04,415 It's not like they don't pay taxes. 26 00:01:04,452 --> 00:01:05,837 The only difference between them and us 27 00:01:05,874 --> 00:01:08,035 is the right to vote and run for office. 28 00:01:08,544 --> 00:01:11,156 If these PRs could be given 29 00:01:11,193 --> 00:01:13,128 at least the right to cast a ballot, 30 00:01:13,165 --> 00:01:15,304 you could say they can't be candidates. 31 00:01:15,341 --> 00:01:17,544 I'd understand that. This 32 00:01:17,619 --> 00:01:19,489 the federal government could change. 33 00:01:19,563 --> 00:01:21,568 I'm raising this for the first time today: 34 00:01:21,605 --> 00:01:23,760 I hope that whether it's the provincial 35 00:01:23,797 --> 00:01:27,007 or federal government, in future 36 00:01:27,044 --> 00:01:29,856 elections they'll consider giving PRs 37 00:01:29,893 --> 00:01:32,056 the right to vote. They 38 00:01:32,093 --> 00:01:34,644 also have the right to be heard. 39 00:01:34,681 --> 00:01:37,105 A lot of what I'm hearing this time really 40 00:01:37,142 --> 00:01:38,668 comes from them. Why do they come 41 00:01:38,705 --> 00:01:40,267 to me? Because they can't vote. 42 00:01:40,341 --> 00:01:42,860 They feel helpless. It's like they can talk 43 00:01:42,897 --> 00:01:45,127 but have been made mute, right? 44 00:01:45,201 --> 00:01:45,905 Right. 45 00:01:46,645 --> 00:01:47,544 They want to speak but can't. 46 00:01:48,368 --> 00:01:50,166 Most of them are from mainland China. Why? 47 00:01:50,203 --> 00:01:51,770 Because if you're from Hong Kong, Taiwan, 48 00:01:51,807 --> 00:01:53,967 Malaysia or Singapore, you 49 00:01:54,004 --> 00:01:56,169 can become a citizen without affecting 50 00:01:56,206 --> 00:01:57,627 your benefits back there. 51 00:01:57,664 --> 00:01:59,474 Taiwan recognizes people holding 52 00:01:59,511 --> 00:02:01,488 both Canadian and Taiwanese passports. 53 00:02:01,525 --> 00:02:03,483 Their benefits in Taiwan are very good, 54 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,215 but after coming here they can become citizens 55 00:02:06,891 --> 00:02:09,446 with no impact. But for us mainlanders, once you 56 00:02:09,483 --> 00:02:11,789 become a citizen, a lot of things back there 57 00:02:11,826 --> 00:02:14,491 get complicated, because China doesn't recognize 58 00:02:14,528 --> 00:02:16,363 this kind of dual status. 59 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,446 So they don't become citizens not because they don't love 60 00:02:19,483 --> 00:02:21,057 this land, but because they 61 00:02:21,094 --> 00:02:23,126 have no choice. They may still own property there, 62 00:02:23,163 --> 00:02:25,511 may still have elderly parents there 63 00:02:25,946 --> 00:02:28,326 to look after. And going back to China, 64 00:02:28,363 --> 00:02:30,243 if you're not a citizen, 65 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,932 you're treated one way. If you are a citizen, 66 00:02:31,969 --> 00:02:33,607 you're treated another way. 67 00:02:33,644 --> 00:02:36,104 So they have many practical considerations 68 00:02:36,854 --> 00:02:38,731 and can't take citizenship right now. 69 00:02:38,768 --> 00:02:40,581 But their contribution 70 00:02:40,618 --> 00:02:42,502 to this country is the same as ours. 71 00:02:42,539 --> 00:02:43,677 So given all this, 72 00:02:43,714 --> 00:02:45,147 if possible, 73 00:02:45,184 --> 00:02:47,817 in the future, if there's another federal or 74 00:02:47,854 --> 00:02:50,353 provincial election, I'll take this issue to the federal 75 00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:52,646 level, hoping to give them, 76 00:02:52,683 --> 00:02:55,035 the PRs, the right to vote. 77 00:02:55,072 --> 00:02:57,372 I think they should have that right. 78 00:02:57,446 --> 00:03:00,566 So CanWest's voice, 79 00:03:00,603 --> 00:03:02,993 how can it, in the legislature, or 80 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:04,743 at the federal level, 81 00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:07,169 reach the people at the top? 82 00:03:07,243 --> 00:03:09,217 At the federal level, we have no say, 83 00:03:09,254 --> 00:03:11,150 because we're a provincial party. 84 00:03:11,187 --> 00:03:13,849 All we can do is, first, 85 00:03:13,886 --> 00:03:16,983 raise it with the sitting federal MPs. 86 00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:19,622 For example, a few days ago Chak Au and I 87 00:03:19,659 --> 00:03:22,224 had a conversation. We have photos too. 88 00:03:22,594 --> 00:03:24,811 I told Chak Au, who was sitting next to me. 89 00:03:24,848 --> 00:03:28,549 I said, can I bring some 90 00:03:28,586 --> 00:03:31,165 federal issues to you, 91 00:03:31,202 --> 00:03:33,398 since I can't raise them with the Premier? 92 00:03:33,435 --> 00:03:35,029 He asked, what issues? 93 00:03:35,066 --> 00:03:37,669 The gun ban. Because I teach firearms courses. 94 00:03:37,706 --> 00:03:41,405 This gun ban was issued in 2023 by 95 00:03:41,442 --> 00:03:43,984 the federal Liberals. It was an order 96 00:03:44,021 --> 00:03:46,498 that banned good people's guns. 97 00:03:46,535 --> 00:03:49,343 So whether it's hunting, target shooting 98 00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:51,916 or just shooting for fun, they've been hit hard. 99 00:03:51,953 --> 00:03:53,891 So they have some views on this. 100 00:03:53,965 --> 00:03:56,465 It banned certain types of guns, 101 00:03:56,539 --> 00:03:57,957 only some, but what it banned 102 00:03:57,994 --> 00:04:00,719 were good people's guns. I teach the PAL course. 103 00:04:00,756 --> 00:04:04,020 They take the class and exam, legally obtain 104 00:04:04,057 --> 00:04:05,756 a firearms licence, then legally buy 105 00:04:05,794 --> 00:04:07,402 these guns. They go hunting 106 00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,289 or target shooting. As a... 107 00:04:09,743 --> 00:04:11,863 we call shooting a sport. 108 00:04:12,206 --> 00:04:14,099 It's even in the Olympics, right? 109 00:04:14,136 --> 00:04:16,361 It really is a sport. 110 00:04:16,398 --> 00:04:18,289 And hunting we call an outdoor activity. 111 00:04:18,326 --> 00:04:20,695 They're all good people who've never had any trouble. 112 00:04:20,732 --> 00:04:22,840 So when you ban those guns, 113 00:04:22,877 --> 00:04:24,569 obviously we're not happy. 114 00:04:24,606 --> 00:04:26,444 So why did I tell Chak Au? 115 00:04:26,481 --> 00:04:28,002 Because Chak Au has now joined 116 00:04:28,039 --> 00:04:31,210 the federal Conservatives, and the federal Conservatives' 117 00:04:31,247 --> 00:04:33,199 platform, during the campaign, 118 00:04:33,236 --> 00:04:35,002 included repealing the gun ban. 119 00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:37,201 So I support him. In this situation, 120 00:04:37,238 --> 00:04:39,002 as a provincial party, 121 00:04:39,039 --> 00:04:41,570 all we can do is support the federal Conservatives, 122 00:04:41,607 --> 00:04:43,404 or get our message, 123 00:04:43,441 --> 00:04:45,289 through the federal Conservatives' 124 00:04:45,326 --> 00:04:47,956 platform, to the federal Liberals. 125 00:04:47,993 --> 00:04:51,181 Or if one day we want to run federally, 126 00:04:51,219 --> 00:04:53,844 only at election time could we say this 127 00:04:53,881 --> 00:04:56,229 and have people listen. That's the only way. 128 00:04:56,266 --> 00:04:57,372 That is, for certain issues. 129 00:04:57,446 --> 00:05:00,372 Then how do you tell good from bad? I don't get that part. 130 00:05:00,724 --> 00:05:03,611 What I mean by good and bad people is: 131 00:05:03,648 --> 00:05:06,048 after you pass the exam and apply for a licence, 132 00:05:06,391 --> 00:05:08,669 the RCMP will run 133 00:05:08,706 --> 00:05:10,931 a background check on you, to see 134 00:05:10,968 --> 00:05:12,664 if you have a criminal record. 135 00:05:12,701 --> 00:05:14,529 If you don't have a criminal record, 136 00:05:14,566 --> 00:05:17,169 they issue you a licence. So everyone 137 00:05:17,206 --> 00:05:19,681 holding a licence has been verified by the government 138 00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:21,710 as someone with no criminal record. 139 00:05:21,747 --> 00:05:23,831 Those are who I call good people. 140 00:05:23,868 --> 00:05:25,525 If you have a criminal record, 141 00:05:25,562 --> 00:05:27,111 you can't get a licence. 142 00:05:27,148 --> 00:05:29,567 Those are who I call people who aren't good. 143 00:05:29,983 --> 00:05:32,708 But some people have never committed a crime, 144 00:05:32,745 --> 00:05:35,654 and then one day, suddenly... right? 145 00:05:35,691 --> 00:05:36,808 There are people like that. 146 00:05:36,882 --> 00:05:38,729 Yes, there are. If you hold a licence now 147 00:05:38,766 --> 00:05:40,427 and suddenly get a criminal record, 148 00:05:40,464 --> 00:05:41,924 they'll just revoke it. 149 00:05:42,581 --> 00:05:44,789 So the people who actually hold licences 150 00:05:44,826 --> 00:05:47,211 are really all good people, 151 00:05:47,248 --> 00:05:49,915 who obey the law and have never had a criminal record. 152 00:05:49,952 --> 00:05:52,403 You've banned these people's guns, 153 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,588 but these people aren't 154 00:05:54,625 --> 00:05:56,817 the ones making society unstable. 155 00:05:56,854 --> 00:05:59,600 The people who really make society unstable 156 00:05:59,637 --> 00:06:02,674 aren't among us. They don't have licences, 157 00:06:02,711 --> 00:06:04,643 but they have guns too, 158 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,633 probably from the black market. 159 00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:08,956 That's what I told Chak Au, 160 00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:11,925 and he agreed, because the federal Conservatives 161 00:06:11,962 --> 00:06:15,253 agree that you shouldn't ban good people's guns, 162 00:06:15,290 --> 00:06:18,970 but should put some restrictions 163 00:06:19,007 --> 00:06:21,023 on illegal channels. That's how it is. 164 00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:24,449 So some issues differ depending on the election, 165 00:06:24,486 --> 00:06:26,295 since I've run at all three levels of government. 166 00:06:26,332 --> 00:06:28,310 In 2008 I ran for MP. 167 00:06:28,727 --> 00:06:30,838 When I ran for federal MP, 168 00:06:30,875 --> 00:06:33,195 I said Chinese should become an official language. 169 00:06:33,232 --> 00:06:35,273 At that level, you can say that. 170 00:06:35,681 --> 00:06:38,286 My reasoning for saying Chinese should be 171 00:06:38,323 --> 00:06:41,976 an official language was: if French can be one, 172 00:06:42,013 --> 00:06:43,513 why can't there be a third language? 173 00:06:43,550 --> 00:06:45,773 Because this country calls itself multicultural. 174 00:06:45,810 --> 00:06:47,449 It didn't say monocultural, 175 00:06:47,486 --> 00:06:48,831 and it didn't say bicultural either, right? 176 00:06:48,869 --> 00:06:50,391 So after I put that forward, 177 00:06:50,428 --> 00:06:52,538 some non-Chinese reporters felt what I said 178 00:06:52,575 --> 00:06:54,560 had a point. It made sense, it wasn't nonsense. 179 00:06:54,597 --> 00:06:56,733 I said, exactly. One said, then tell me: 180 00:06:56,770 --> 00:06:58,958 if all of Canada adopted 181 00:06:59,412 --> 00:07:01,208 Chinese as a third language, wouldn't our 182 00:07:01,245 --> 00:07:03,181 government spending go up? 183 00:07:03,218 --> 00:07:04,634 Wouldn't taxes have to go up? 184 00:07:04,671 --> 00:07:07,777 I said no. I only want it in some places. 185 00:07:07,814 --> 00:07:10,097 That's enough. Say, in Vancouver 186 00:07:10,134 --> 00:07:12,403 and Toronto, where there are many Chinese 187 00:07:12,968 --> 00:07:15,434 and few French speakers. Government documents 188 00:07:15,471 --> 00:07:17,144 don't need to be in English and French. 189 00:07:17,181 --> 00:07:19,289 Change the French part to English and Chinese. 190 00:07:19,326 --> 00:07:21,134 You waste no resources at all, 191 00:07:21,171 --> 00:07:22,930 yet the number of us who can benefit 192 00:07:22,967 --> 00:07:24,869 from government services gets huge. 193 00:07:24,906 --> 00:07:26,421 He said, "Wow, that's a really good point." 194 00:07:27,014 --> 00:07:29,995 So I said back then: at Vancouver's airport, 195 00:07:30,032 --> 00:07:31,152 could you make the signs 196 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:32,342 in Chinese? 197 00:07:32,379 --> 00:07:33,773 Skip the French signs. 198 00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:35,657 That way, you're not adding any cost. 199 00:07:35,694 --> 00:07:37,958 And wouldn't it be easier for us arriving? 200 00:07:37,995 --> 00:07:40,099 He said that made sense. That reporter 201 00:07:40,136 --> 00:07:42,489 was a national... a CBC reporter. 202 00:07:42,526 --> 00:07:44,319 He said, I'll help you 203 00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:45,940 spread the word, right? 204 00:07:46,523 --> 00:07:49,542 And sure enough, this was 20-some years ago, 205 00:07:49,579 --> 00:07:52,464 Vancouver's airport suddenly had 206 00:07:52,501 --> 00:07:54,781 Chinese signs and all that, right? 207 00:07:54,818 --> 00:07:57,179 It's simple. What I say, 208 00:07:57,216 --> 00:08:00,109 if it makes sense, through legitimate 209 00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:02,248 media, reaches today's politicians. 210 00:08:02,285 --> 00:08:04,160 If they see me, this person 211 00:08:04,197 --> 00:08:05,781 represents some people too, 212 00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:08,564 since a candidate speaks for part of the public. 213 00:08:08,601 --> 00:08:10,605 So if what this person says makes sense, 214 00:08:10,642 --> 00:08:12,062 can't we make improvements? 215 00:08:12,099 --> 00:08:14,540 And they did. So through this 216 00:08:14,577 --> 00:08:17,494 platform we speak up, and that voice represents 217 00:08:17,531 --> 00:08:20,419 part of the community. If those in power think 218 00:08:20,456 --> 00:08:23,182 it's worth considering and make improvements, 219 00:08:23,219 --> 00:08:25,271 then my job is done. 220 00:08:25,345 --> 00:08:27,037 In Canadian society, we 221 00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:29,306 all carry a dream, and we all hope 222 00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:31,959 society keeps getting better and more complete, 223 00:08:31,996 --> 00:08:34,206 and truly serves ordinary people. 224 00:08:34,734 --> 00:08:35,873 That's really true. 225 00:08:37,105 --> 00:08:41,855 Lao Chen, I can see that for Canada's development, 226 00:08:42,401 --> 00:08:45,975 people's livelihoods and better lives, I think 227 00:08:46,012 --> 00:08:49,253 you really are doing a lot of practical work. 228 00:08:49,327 --> 00:08:52,345 We use legitimate platforms to push 229 00:08:52,382 --> 00:08:53,845 for society's healthy development. 230 00:08:53,882 --> 00:08:56,156 So people can see my intentions 231 00:08:56,193 --> 00:08:59,512 are right. This country 232 00:08:59,549 --> 00:09:01,156 really does have these platforms. For example, 233 00:09:01,193 --> 00:09:03,503 earlier we formed a party, and we launched 234 00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:05,945 a movement to help our people find jobs. 235 00:09:05,982 --> 00:09:07,955 You may not have heard of it. 236 00:09:07,992 --> 00:09:09,639 In the early days, 237 00:09:09,676 --> 00:09:11,234 when we first came in the 2000s, 238 00:09:11,271 --> 00:09:12,531 we were all skilled immigrants. 239 00:09:12,568 --> 00:09:13,864 You were a skilled immigrant too, right? 240 00:09:13,938 --> 00:09:14,808 I came as an international student. 241 00:09:14,882 --> 00:09:15,586 International student, right. 242 00:09:15,827 --> 00:09:17,415 The biggest problem for skilled immigrants here 243 00:09:17,452 --> 00:09:18,855 was that we couldn't find jobs 244 00:09:19,271 --> 00:09:20,632 because our language wasn't good. 245 00:09:21,123 --> 00:09:22,838 So what could we do? Our party 246 00:09:22,875 --> 00:09:24,821 launched a campaign: whenever 247 00:09:24,858 --> 00:09:27,981 we spend money, we only speak Mandarin. 248 00:09:28,019 --> 00:09:31,370 That would lead society 249 00:09:32,167 --> 00:09:34,287 to hire more Mandarin-speaking staff. 250 00:09:34,537 --> 00:09:36,843 Let me give you an example. A bank: 251 00:09:37,167 --> 00:09:40,392 one day I went to open an account. I walked in 252 00:09:40,429 --> 00:09:42,438 and said I'm here to open an account. 253 00:09:42,475 --> 00:09:44,823 A clerk came and spoke English. I said, English 254 00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:46,787 no. Don't understand. 255 00:09:46,824 --> 00:09:48,354 He asked what language. I said Mandarin. "Hold on." I said, 256 00:09:48,391 --> 00:09:49,784 if you don't have someone who speaks Mandarin, 257 00:09:49,821 --> 00:09:50,777 I'm leaving. I won't open an account. 258 00:09:50,814 --> 00:09:52,637 I have $5,000 here I want to deposit. 259 00:09:52,674 --> 00:09:54,648 "Don't go, have a seat, we'll find someone. 260 00:09:54,685 --> 00:09:55,624 We may have someone in the back who speaks 261 00:09:55,661 --> 00:09:57,704 Mandarin." OK. After a while, 262 00:09:57,741 --> 00:10:00,155 I sat a bit, and sure enough a young Taiwanese woman came. 263 00:10:00,645 --> 00:10:01,349 She came over: 264 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,655 "Hello, sir, what can I..." Then she looked: 265 00:10:04,256 --> 00:10:05,939 "Wait a minute..." I was a realtor then, 266 00:10:05,976 --> 00:10:08,224 I had some TV ads. 267 00:10:08,261 --> 00:10:10,006 "Lao Chen? Is that Lao Chen?" I said, yes. 268 00:10:11,219 --> 00:10:13,627 "You speak English. How come... 269 00:10:13,664 --> 00:10:14,868 why did you say you don't?" 270 00:10:14,942 --> 00:10:15,914 You did it so that 271 00:10:16,331 --> 00:10:17,877 the bank's management 272 00:10:18,497 --> 00:10:21,054 would know how important Chinese is. If they 273 00:10:21,091 --> 00:10:24,368 don't hire staff who can speak Chinese, 274 00:10:24,405 --> 00:10:26,794 they could lose some customers. 275 00:10:26,868 --> 00:10:29,453 I said, I came today to tell 276 00:10:29,490 --> 00:10:32,241 your manager: because you served me, 277 00:10:32,278 --> 00:10:34,570 my $5,000 is going in here. 278 00:10:34,607 --> 00:10:36,886 Without you, I'd have turned and walked out. 279 00:10:36,923 --> 00:10:39,369 I want him to know that in Richmond now 280 00:10:39,406 --> 00:10:41,590 it's not just me. There are many people 281 00:10:41,627 --> 00:10:43,569 who really can't speak English well, who 282 00:10:43,606 --> 00:10:46,126 really brought money from China to open accounts. 283 00:10:46,163 --> 00:10:48,023 Do you want to win these customers? 284 00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:49,692 If you do, 285 00:10:49,729 --> 00:10:51,489 if you can hire a teller who speaks 286 00:10:51,526 --> 00:10:53,027 Mandarin, 287 00:10:53,064 --> 00:10:54,619 your bank will surely get 288 00:10:54,656 --> 00:10:55,895 lots of customers, right? 289 00:10:56,553 --> 00:10:59,738 And from then on, you'd find every bank 290 00:10:59,775 --> 00:11:02,125 had Mandarin-speaking tellers right at 291 00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:04,756 the front counter. That's the movement our party 292 00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:05,738 launched. 293 00:11:05,812 --> 00:11:07,876 We didn't break any laws. We 294 00:11:07,913 --> 00:11:09,876 just felt like speaking Mandarin. 295 00:11:09,913 --> 00:11:11,785 And it's true some of us 296 00:11:11,822 --> 00:11:14,083 really can't speak English, like investor immigrants. 297 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,376 They need to deposit money. So banks, 298 00:11:16,413 --> 00:11:18,599 and later even phone companies, 299 00:11:19,071 --> 00:11:22,738 like Telus, all hired Mandarin-speaking 300 00:11:22,775 --> 00:11:24,622 staff, right? So our 301 00:11:24,659 --> 00:11:27,876 movement let ordinary people feel 302 00:11:27,913 --> 00:11:31,453 that the government really cared about us. 303 00:11:31,490 --> 00:11:34,005 Ours is a very constructive suggestion. 304 00:11:34,042 --> 00:11:36,719 It helps society move forward, 305 00:11:36,756 --> 00:11:38,525 so newcomers don't feel 306 00:11:38,562 --> 00:11:41,867 this place is foreign, but warm. Isn't that the point? 307 00:11:41,904 --> 00:11:44,633 That's the true original purpose 308 00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:47,116 behind our running in elections. 309 00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:49,886 Since 2007, your party 310 00:11:49,923 --> 00:11:51,893 has been around for 311 00:11:51,930 --> 00:11:56,069 20 years, always thinking for the community 312 00:11:56,616 --> 00:11:59,965 and planning, listening to everyone, 313 00:12:00,002 --> 00:12:03,093 right? Bit by bit, carrying it upward, 314 00:12:03,130 --> 00:12:05,699 speaking up. You've made a great effort. 315 00:12:06,449 --> 00:12:07,681 I can see you really 316 00:12:08,116 --> 00:12:11,096 want this country to do well, want 317 00:12:11,133 --> 00:12:13,639 ordinary people to live happily. I think 318 00:12:13,676 --> 00:12:16,116 you've done so much. Great work, kudos. 319 00:12:16,190 --> 00:12:18,094 We use legal channels 320 00:12:18,131 --> 00:12:20,652 to speak for the people, and lawful means to promote 321 00:12:20,689 --> 00:12:23,236 society's healthy development. That's all.
