During the 2017 Chief Executive race, Hong Kong's democratic camp decided to back a liberal leaning establishment candidate instead of protesting the undemocratic selection system as they have done in the past. Out of discontent and protest, veteran lawmaker and democratic camp politician "Longhair" Leung Kwok-hung decided to run for the city's top job as well. With a lack of support from people on his camp, and a group of elite voters which he most definitely would not have pleased, his run was more of a statement on Hong Kong's political landscape. This video captures his mentality and emotions, as his campaign comes to its inevitable end.
