against the National Education."

Sit down. Let's start the meeting.

Forget about pouring water.

Everyone has to be more serious.

President, why would we be serious?

If you are serious about your position,

then lead the meeting.

How is everyone?

My name is Joshua Wong,

and I'm the founder of this group.

I'm the one most newspapers

have written about.

I'm Derek Lam.

I'm studying at United Christian College.

I'm repeating my senior year.

What's your job in Scholarism?

Making jokes.

He's responsible for announcing

through the loudspeaker.

According to the procedure,

everyone should introduce themselves.

I'm Agnes Chow.

Tonight, our guest is Joshua Wong.

He's everywhere these days.

If you don't know him,

you will after this show.

Scholarism must take all of your time.

It's true. I feel like I'm working

on Scholarism full-time lately.

I always forget

that you're still a student.

How do you balance your time?

When I'm not on Facebook

dealing with Scholarism, I'm studying.

My grades are not too bad.

It's impossible

that your grades aren't bad!

Are you in a relationship?

No, because I focus on my work.

My mom keeps telling me not to date

until college.

I should focus on studying now.

Everyone values youth,

but there's a difference

between how China

and Hong Kong value youth.

Youth in China do everything

their country tells them to do.

They are one with the country.

But you're different.

You encourage people to go on the street,

to protest, to be radical,

to object to National Education.

Our situation makes it necessary.

If the government didn't push

for National Education,

I wouldn't ask people to join us

and there wouldn't be these interviews.

Allowing the Communist Party to create

our curriculum is a huge problem.

The attitude of the police forces

is quite negative towards the activists.

The policemen will come

and ask a lot of questions.

Which organization are you from?

We are an organization called Scholarism.

You aren't going to have a rally here?

No, we definitely won't.

Of course our regime and government

try to scare us

from not joining social movement.

But I think, as an activist,

one of the things

which is very important for us

is not to be scared.

You don't have to surround us

with so many officers.

We're here every day.

We'll leave if nothing's happening.

It's cool. Continue.

It's really ridiculous for the policemen

to come and tell the activists that,

"We want to protect you.

That's why we keep our eyes on you."

Because what they want

to do is just protect the ruling class

instead of the grassroots in Hong Kong.

Defend freedom of thought!
