context_page_description: Waiting for Uncle Fat is a Hong Kong Internet slang term and an internet meme; “Uncle Fat” is the nickname of rural patriarch Lau Wong-fat. The expression is derived from the 2015 Hong Kong electoral reform vote, when the 31 pro-Beijing camp lawmakers walked out of the chamber just before the vote in order to wait for Uncle Fat to arrive and vote to show their unity. The voting results turned out to be an embarrassing eight votes supporting the reform package. The pro-Beijing camp parties’ reason for not attending the vote – to wait for Uncle Fat – has sparked an intense discussion about the method the pro-establishment parties had used among Hong Kong citizens. Even more, "waiting for Uncle Fat" has become Internet slang and many derivative works or parodies have been created by Hong Kong netizens according to this slang.
context_section_description: After the voting of the proposal, the relationship between the members of Pro-Beijing camp is also a concerned issue. Since there were still eight members inside the chamber while there were total 31 stayed out the chamber, the public doubted that their communication was insufficient and the discrepancy appeared. The media also exposed their whatsapp group conversation and discovered that they did not communicate before going out the chamber. On the other hand, they tried to punish each other after the voting. Wong Kwok-kin, a member from the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, blamed that Regina Ip and Tam Yiu-chung did not consider comprehensively, and had already angered the central government. However, Ip said that she was just following the action of DAB, which is the largest Pro-Beijing camp political party. The objection of this motion has shown the discrepancy of the Pro-Beijing parties.
