Ray Wong Toi-yeung (Chinese: 黃台仰; Jyutping: wong4 toi4 joeng5; born 15 September 1993) is a Hong Kong activist. He founded the localist pressure group Hong Kong Indigenous with other activists who were dissatisfied with the efficacy of Hong Kong's mainstream democratic movement during the 2014 Hong Kong protests. He took an active part in the Mong Kok civil unrest on Chinese New Year's Day (8 February) 2016 and was arrested later that month.
He was born in Hong Kong in 1993 and studied at the Tang Shiu Kin Victoria Government Secondary School and the Caritas Bianchi College of Careers and is currently working as a freelance interior designer.
He participated in the 2014 Hong Kong protests which is often dubbed the "Umbrella Revolution". After the protests, he formed Hong Kong Indigenous, a localist group, with other young protesters he met in Mong Kok who shared disappointment at the failure of the protests and disaffection with its leaders.
Hong Kong Indigenous continued to organise and participate in other social movements, notably the anti-parallel trading protests in 2015, including the "Liberate Sheung Shui" on 24 January, "Liberate Tuen Mun" on 8 February and "Liberate Yuen Long" on 1 March. He was arrested five times in relation to those protests.
Wong states that he is anti-Mainland immigrant and that the influx of mainland immigrants is undermining Hong Kong culture and abusing the Hong Kong welfare system. He has also stated, however, that he would regard an immigrant as a Hongkonger if he is willing to defend Hong Kong, its culture and values.
