Michael Felix Lau Hoi-man was a frontline nurse at a public hospital in Hong Kong. He was active in the medical community, advocating for medical workers during the Covid-19 pandemic as a leading voice of the workers’ union.
Lau ran in the unofficial primary elections in July 2020, in which he contested the health sector candidacy. In an interview with Apple Daily, Lau said he did not believe in the more extreme political agendas such as mutual assured destruction (“if we burn, you burn with us”). Lau was arrested in January 2021 for his participation in the “35"+” unofficial primary elections. He has not been charged and was released on bail. (Photo: Lau Hoi-man’s Facebook page)
