City Forum


City Forum (Chinese: 城市論壇) is a public forum held weekly on Sunday in Victoria Park, Hong Kong. This forum brings together politicians, academics and prominent public figures to discuss current issues, and also allow the public to participate in a Q&A session. Each week, a number of secondary schools are invited to bring students to the forum to ask questions. This is a rare program in Hong Kong due to its relevance to current events and also to its true nature, being the only non-censured live television program in Hong Kong.

Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) hold live broadcasts every Sunday at 12:05. TVB, a Hong Kong television company, broadcasts the program on live TV for 55 minutes (12:05-13:00), together with RTHK TV 31. (Except August each year)

Uncles of Victoria Park (Chinese: 維園阿伯, with "維園" being the short form of "維多利亞公園") is a colloquial term referring to a special group of people in Hong Kong. These people are usually retired pro-Beijing aged men, also known as indigenous communists. They gather in Victoria Park on Sundays at noon, when City Forum - a public forum which is sponsored and broadcast to the public by Radio Television Hong Kong - is held. Whenever pro-democratic politicians speak at the forum, they would yell outside the forum venue, so their voices cover the speaker's. The most well-known slogan that they usually chant during the forum is "stray dogs!". However "Uncles of Victoria Park" is not a name of a total group of people. There are also conflicts among the "Uncles of Victoria Park" during the forum.
