在39年的職業生涯中，她擔任過21個職位，並培養了一個能推動政策的好鬥士的聲譽。

In 2012, she became second in command of Hong Kong.

As chief secretary, Lam faced her biggest test when China's legislature unveiled a controversial proposal.

Lam presented an election proposal, but offered only minor changes.

Hong Kong residents responded by flooding the streets with more protests.

批評者說，這項法案將使香港居民和遊客，包括政治批評者，面臨被送往中國大陸，在共產黨控制的法院接受審判。

She's refused to make further concessions and the protests have put Lam's political future in jeopardy.

她拒絕作出進一步的讓步，而抗議活動也讓林鄭月娥的政治前途岌岌可危。
