He was elected in 2017, and at that time he became the youngest member of the assembly.[2] 9,212 people voted for him. He is a part of the New Macau Association. He stated that his goal was to have direct elections for all seats of the assembly.[3]
On May 15, 2016 he held a protest near Macau Chief Executive Fernando Chui's house against the Macao Foundation's "black box" donation to Jinan University (Chief Executive Chui was also the chairman of the foundation's trust committee and the vice chairman of the university). This protest was later deemed illegal by the government. On 4 December, 2017, his fellow legislators passed (28 vs 4 votes) a motion to suspend Sou from the assembly so he could be prosecuted under Macau law. In May 2018 he was declared guilty and ordered to pay a fine of 40,800 patacas (US$5,000). As the conviction did not involve any jail time, he was then reinstated as a member of the Legislative Assembly on July 3, 2018. He expressed his intention to run for office again after the fine.[1]
In 2021 he filed a request for the Macau government to provide information in English.[4]
The Macau Daily Times ranked Sou as "Person of the Year" in 2017.[5]
By September 2021 the courts ruled he was not sufficiently loyal to the government and so was unable to keep his seat in the assembly.[6]
