As the deputy-general of the HKFS, he took a leading role in the 2014 class boycott campaign against the decision of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) which set the framework of the restrictive electoral method on the 2017 Chief Executive election. The student movement led to the massive Occupy protests in September 2014. He was one of the five-member HKFS delegation to held talk with the government officials led by Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie Lam in October 2014. He was detained by the police in October 2014 due to the arrest during a sit-in in July.
