"During this political campaign, someone tried to silence me by unleashing such terror, as I've been too outspoken," Junius Ho said during an exclusive interview with Global Times on Saturday, noting that he would not move backward under such life threat. 

Ho, a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), was attacked on Wednesday during an election campaign event in Hong Kong's Tuen Mun area.

After undergoing a treatment for two days, he was discharged from the hospital on Friday. "If the man had stabbed me one more time, I would have been dead now," he said.

Ho said that he has been receiving death threats, and has gotten used to online rumors smearing his reputation over the past few months while responding to a question about some people calling it "choreographed" stabbing. 

Over the past few months, Ho said he trained his assistants to take photos and shoot videos at a variety of activities, as a precautionary measure in case of any untoward situation. "An assistant did capture the footage on Wednesday," he said, referring to the video clip that became an important piece of evidence of the knife attack.

"Everyone would be scared by these violent threats, but we cannot yield to it," Ho said, urging the public to bravely say "no" to the violence and "black terror" which have seriously battered Hong Kong.

"Under such spreading of 'black terror,' this year's elections would be a battle for conscience," he added.
