I really should be doing my essay, but I decided to google my favorite politican of all time. My favorite politican is Chris Pattern. He was the last governor of Hong Kong before HK was returned back to China.
For me personally, Pattern had opened the doors of numerous of political debate in my life. For example, the airport in HK. A lot of people had been there and they have to say it was EXTREMELY pretty. But when Pattern first declare they were going to build an airport, he was opposed by EVERYONE. He made a promise to leave a certain amount of money in reserve for the future(current) SAR government. He accomplished that goal by providing a fund that was 10 times what the Chinese government demanded. He was the first politican I pay very close attention to as a child. He was the first politican I can call by name. I watched him swore his office. My father designed his house. Chris Pattern had made a dramatic influence in my life.
As a child, I had the luck.. to meet him a few times. He would show up at the most random places eating the most random food - ranging from Chinese herbal tea to egg tarts.
2 of my all time favorite memories of him will be...
1. watching him gaining weight every single time he's on tv when he's in office
2. when he cried on that very very wet night on july 1, 1997

i had left hk around the same time he did, and i have to say he is still my favorite politican.


on a funnier note, there had been many numerous times he had said when he was send to HK as a governor, he was not impressed. but he grew to love that city and being the governor of HK had became his favorite job in his life and it was what shaped him as a person.
