Take you to know this undefinable councillor with six Tang Feng quotes.

On March 10, 2020, the key word for "Who's Tang Feng?" was the number one word on Google's search list that day.

Who's Tang Feng? She is a digital-savvy engineer, a member of the Council of Government who advocates openness and transparency in the Government, and one of the members of the "Real-Time Mask Map" team during the outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan. She has been called a "genius IT minister" by the Japanese media for promoting digitalization in government ministries, and has become a difficult person to define and insist on being a representative of herself because of her experience as transgender and self-taught at the age of 14.

Everyone is different, but it is an illusion to be the same.

Tang Feng

Tang Feng is probably one of the interviewees who let all media workers have special interview experience. She's used to demanding transparency, so in an interview with Parent's World four years ago, she teamed the entire 360-degree camera with a full interview and uploaded it to Facebook and Youtube. Later, as the interview grew, she set up a discussion area for reporters to ask questions. She occasionally answers, occasionally asks office staff to assist in responding, and if there are repeat questions, put a link directly.

It's different for her, and she believes that everyone has a different place. (Recommended reading:"Genderless" into the cabinet!) Tang Feng in my eyes: give myself a name I want)

I am not the subject of control thought, but the carrier of thought, so that thought can come from different aspects.

Tang Feng

When Foreign Policy ranked her as one of the "World's Top 100 Thinkers of 2019", she said only that "thought is never a personal creation, but the crystallization of mass intelligence", "I am not the subject of controlling thought, but a carrier of thought, so that thought can come from different sources." 」

People joked that she was too smart to control other people's brainwaves. She smiled and said she was just a carrier of all kinds of ideas. Open mind, so that she can always accept different voices, different opinions, from which to draw up their own set of values.

Everything I want to do can't be done. As long as I can do it, I usually won't do it.

Tang Feng

No challenge, no freshness, Tang Feng has no interest. For her, one way to be happy is to keep trying and breaking through. "Anyone who's played Candy Crush probably knows that a game that's going to break, and that game won't be fun after you break it," she said in the "Parent's World" interview. "It's because it's not over, so you can always be happy." 」

There is no end, the process of trying to chase, itself is a kind of happiness. So all she wants to do is not complete.

I think the focus of learning is not "which place to go" but "which place you want to go".

Tang Feng

She applied to self-study at home from the age of 14 because she could not adapt to the traditional education system. Even if she didn't grow up in the formal education process, she still relied on the Internet, books, and learned more open, vast knowledge. The reason why she is able to talk about anything is because she has extensive access to knowledge. It is also because of her attitude towards learning, not for the purpose of the entrance examination, but to see learning as a "go where you want to go" tool.

I don't choose to stand in the gender debate. It's not that I don't think the issue is important, it's that I don't think the argument can solve any thing.

Tang Feng

The 25-year-old, who declared her identity card "genderless", did not want to be kidnapped by a man and a woman. She said in an interview with Le Nouvel Observateur, the French media law,that she belonged to post-gender. The reason why we do not choose a side station does not mean that gender issues are not worthy of attention, but rather that we want to retain a more open attitude to participate in the discussion. (Recommended reading: What about genderless cabinet members?) Tang Feng: I'm not really transgender, I've always been my own look! ) )

To this day I don't feel compelled to be a man, or a woman, but to be able to experience all kinds of sex/other can feel the same way through my own experience.

Tang Feng

Tang has long believed that transgender status has something to do with the current work of councillors, but she does not exclude gender issues in her personal capacity. At the 2019 Transgender Memorial Gala, she has filmed supporting the existence of multiple genders. The "gender-free" declaration on the identity card is precisely the wish not to be written on the basis of gender and not to mark personal value without gender. Boys and girls? It's not really a focus, it's about feeling the same about "sex/gender" issues and your willingness to understand each other with the utmost gentleness.

It's never easy to look at the world gently and treat others. From Tang Feng's six-sentence quotation, we hope that a multi-dimensional and integrated future is no longer far away, we hope that everyone can be sincerely themselves.

Note: In January 2019, including TVBS, The Free Times, This Week and other media reports, Tang Feng was accused of domestic violence by his partner K, Tang Feng himself has not yet explained the matter, only replied "no response", the then spokesman of the Executive Council Kolas Yotaka It also indicated that the matter had been referred to a lawyer for judicial settlement. We understand the controversy, but also confirm tang Feng's efforts and statements on digital government and gender issues, and in the future, women fans will continue to pay attention to the follow-up development of the event.
