The show was hosted by Lee Wai Ling, who began her show “The Big Picture” with a direct statement, “I want to say goodbye to everyone”. She explained that the reason for her resignation is that she has been suffering from insomnia, vocal difficulties and cramps in her feet, and her physical and mental strength is not enough to cope with the 2.5-hour phone-in program every day. She will work until this Thursday (30) after leaving.
Lee Wai-ling stressed that she is not considering emigration, nor is she retiring, and will either “switch” to a text platform or do a shorter commentary program on a social media platform.
After the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, a number of D100 hosts and guests have been arrested one after another. Lee Wai-ling recalled in the program that in the past few years of D100, the most sad thing is that those political circle friends who used to be guest hosts in the program have lost their freedom one after another, including old friends of traditional pan-democrats such as Wan Siu-kin and Lam Cheuk-ting of the Democratic Party, but also “new young friends” such as Cheung Ho-sum and Leung Fong-wai.
She also cited the example of Chan Chi-chuen (aka “Slowly”), Tam Tak-chi (aka “Quickly”) and Jess, all of whom were very good hosts of D100, and all of whom used to speak freely and faithfully on this platform, but now they have lost their freedom. “It’s sad and heartbreaking that the most profound and indelible part of the last period in The Big Picture Left and Right is actually this kind of thing.” She expects them to regain their freedom soon.
Lee Wai-ling, who joined D100 in 2016, has been in the news industry for 30 years, having worked as news director and deputy editor-in-chief at Ming Pao and Apple Daily, respectively. in 2004, Lee switched to Commercial Radio as a program host, and because she often criticized the government in her programs, she gained the support of many netizens and pan-democrats, but was “sniped” by the establishment “In February 2014, Lee was abruptly terminated by Commercial Radio, saying that the reason behind her dismissal was the then Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.
Many loyal listeners of “The Big Picture” have left messages expressing their sadness for Lee Wai Ling’s “closure”, while also expressing their understanding of her hardship and dedication. Netizen Millie Wong left a message saying, “So many hosts are leaving one after another, Uncle S, fast must, slow must, Uncle Tong, etc. have gradually disappeared, only can sigh a pity! Take care of your health!”
