Joshua Wong Chi-fung (Chinese: 黃之鋒, born 13 October 1996)[2] is a Hong Kong student activist who is the convenor and founder of the Hong Kong student activist group Scholarism.[2][3] He was a student at the United Christian College, and is now a college student of the Open University of Hong Kong.[4] Wong is most notable for leading fellow Hong Kong students in a massive protest in 2014 that demanded genuine universal suffrage. Due to his influence in Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, he was named as one of TIME's Most Influential Teens of 2014, nominated for TIME's Person of the Year 2014.[5] and listed by Fortune Magazine as one of the World's Greatest Leaders in 2015.[6][7]

Early life

Joshua Wong was born in Hong Kong in 1996, and was diagnosed with dyslexia soon after.[8][9] The son of middle-class couple Grace and Roger Wong,[10] Joshua was raised as a Protestant Christian.[11][12] His family partially awoke his social concern, as Joshua's father often took him to visit the underprivileged classes, telling him he should care about them.[13][14]

Wong studied at the United Christian College in East Kowloon,[15] and developed organisational and speaking skills through involvement in church groups.[16]he started taking an active role in society in Hong Kong at a young age. The 2010 anti-High Speed Rail protests was the first political protest he took part in.[17]

On 29 May 2011, Wong and schoolmate Ivan Lam established Scholarism, a student activist group which initially just handed out leaflets against the newly announced moral and national education (MNE).[16][18] The group went on to organise a petition and organise a massive rally in 2012 attended by over 100,000 people.[16] Wong received widespread attention as the group's convenor.[19] On 27 September 2014, Wong was one of the 78 people arrested by the police during a massive pro-democracy protest,[20] after hundreds of students stormed Civic Square in front of the HKSAR government headquarters in a push for political rights and as a sign of protest against Beijing's decision on the 2014 Hong Kong electoral reform.[21][22] However, unlike most of those arrested who were freed soon afterwards, Wong remained in custody for 46 hours, until his lawyers moved a writ of habeas corpus.[23][24]

Wong is involved in the movement for the inclusion of civic nomination in the 2017 Hong Kong Chief Executive Election.[17]

Role in 2014 Hong Kong protests

In June 2014, Scholarism drafted a plan to reform Hong Kong's electoral system to push for universal suffrage, under one country, two systems. Joshua Wong as a student leader was to start a movement of civil disobedience among Hong Kong's students, which was to send a pro-democracy message to Beijing.[22]

During the protests, Wong stated: "Among all the people in Hong Kong, there is only one person who can decide whether the current movement will last and he is Leung. If Leung can accept our demands ... (the) movement will naturally come to an end."[25]

Chinese state-run media and pro-government Hong Kong newspapers allege that three years prior to the Democratic movement incident, Wong "received donations" and "met with US consulate personnel".[26] They regard him as opposing the government for no apparent reason,[27] and consider him as an extremist.[22] Wong has dismissed the allegations as baseless.[28] Wong states that the principle leading the protest is non-violence.[29]

Wong was charged on 27 November 2014 with obstructing a bailiff clearing one of Hong Kong's three protest areas. His lawyer described the charge as politically motivated.[5][30] He was banned from a large part of Mong Kok as one of the bail conditions. This ban covers the area enclosed by the following streets and roads: Fa Yuen Street, Dundas Street, Shanghai Street and Mong Kok Road. Wong is only allowed to be in the area while in transit.[31] On 2 December 2014, Wong and two other students began a hunger strike for an "indefinite" period to demand renewed talks with the Hong Kong government. However, four days into the strike, he decided to end it due to "strong urging from the doctor".[32]

Wong was arrested for questioning on Friday, 16 January 2015 for his involvement in civil-disobedience offences during the Umbrella Revolution. Wong stated: "I was held for three hours and I was arrested on charges of calling for, inciting and participating in an unauthorized assembly."[33]
