Leung Kwok-hung (born 27 March 1956 in Hong Kong), also known as Long Hair (), is a Hong Kong Left-wing political activist, a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (representing the New Territories East constituency), a founding member of the League of Social Democrats and a democratic political activist. ==Biography== Leung was born in to migrants from Guangdong Province, living in Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong Island, at the time. The family later moved to a public housing estate in Chai Wan. After his father left home when Leung was only 6 years of age, his mother took to working as an amah to support herself, while he went to live with relatives back in Shau Kei Wan who had seven children.〔http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1852720/pictures-life-and-times-long-hair-activist-hong-kong〕 Leung credits his political awakening to the 1967 Hong Kong riots, which highlighted poverty in Hong Kong. He was a construction worker from 1981 to 1986, after which he delved further into political action, co-founding the Revolutionary Marxist League, a Trotskyist vanguard party. He was also a member of April Fifth Action, a radical socialist group, after the league was disbanded. In 1986, Leung worked for Kowloon Motor Bus as an overnight vehicle cleaner. He says he learned English by listening to British Forces Broadcasting.〔 Leung first contested but lost in both the 2000 Legislative Council elections and 2003 District Council elections though he considered the latter battle a victory in view of the number of votes obtained in the Kam Ping constituency which traditionally supports pro-Beijing candidates. Leung ran again in the LegCo Election 2004 and succeeded in winning a seat in LegCo with 60,925 votes,〔(Election results in 2004 )〕 an over 200% increase in votes compared to the 18,235 votes〔(Election result in 2000 )〕 he achieved in the previous LegCo election. He still lives in public housing, at the Kai Yip Estate in Kowloon Bay.〔 Leung's key campaigns include universal suffrage, workers' rights and welfare for the less well off. His political agenda includes introduction of a liveable minimum wage, comprehensive social security, collective bargaining and taxing speculative business. He has been briefly jailed several times for offences such as shouting from LegCo's public viewing gallery, burning the national flag of the People's Republic of China and forcibly breaking into an opposition political event. His first incarceration was for unlawful assembly in 1979.〔 Although he expresses his fondness for Che Guevara and the ideals of revolutionary Marxism, Leung has not included a proletarian revolution agenda on his election platform and many of his ideas and proposals would be readily accepted by most mainstream social liberal and social democratic parties in other countries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leung Kwok-hung」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
