香港民研在2019年5月4日象徵式成立，再在7月1日正式運作。我們選擇了五四，是因為我們要高舉科學和民主的旗幟，為全人類服務，當然包括我們的國家民族和香港社會。兩年前，我寫道：五四之後，民研會調整新聞發布會的次數，下調至每月四次左右，以爭取資源進行網上公民教育工作。一年前，我續寫：還有兩個月，民研進行的「一國兩制25周年中期民情總結」系列便會完成，民研歷史和世界定位，便要再次改變。今天，五四加二三，既是團隊33歲，又是半年總結的開始。民研定必全力以赴，繼續發揚五四精神。
HKPORI was symbolically established on May 4, 2019 and then officially started to operate on July 1. We have chosen May 4 because we want to serve humankind, obviously encompassing our nation and society, under the banners of science and democracy. Two years ago I wrote: After May 4, we will reduce the frequency of our press conferences to about four times a month, in order to spare more resources for our online civic education work. Last year I continued: Two months later, we will have completed all 25 reports of our “25th Anniversary of One Country Two Systems Mid-term Review” series, we will reposition ourselves again. This year, concurring with the 54+23 and the 33rd anniversary of our research team, we will start our half-yearly review again, but our pledge to promote the May Fourth Spirit remains unchanged.
