it can be seen from this that on october 4, fok kai-gang, yau tsim mong district affairs commissioner yu kin-keung, several fencing, martial arts, karate, table tennis players, and artists painted a mural on the outer wall of henry leong yau ma tei community center.

uncle hai feels that the following are particularly worth mentioning:

among the mural painting team, huo qigang also specifically mentioned "10ethnic minority students at yau ma tei neighborhood association school."

hong kong is a pluralistic society.

this is not only due to political and business celebrities such as huo qigang, working with athletes and artists to paint murals, but also the participation of "minority students" as huo qigang said.

in terms of blood, these children may come from other countries and regions, such as south asia, southeast asia, etc., but they live in the hong kong special administrative region of china, and they may have family and country identification here, or recognition of china. therefore, during the national day of the people's republic of china, let's celebrate the national day together. this shows a significant positive change in hong kong society in recent years.

the children painted murals with very serious expressions. picture: wechat public account "huo qigang kkchannel"

at the same time, these children participating in this mural painting activity can more or less convey the vitality of hong kong to the ancestral home of their parents and so on. in other words, people from more parts of the world can learn about a harmonious and harmonious hong kong through this event.

from the content of huo qigang's wechat public account, we can also see that it was not easy for him to organize this mural painting activity and "present a small gift to the country." for example, how to find a place for mural painting requires using your brain and thinking of ways. he said that with the assistance of the chief secretary for administration of the hong kong special administrative region, mr chan kwok-kee, the secretary for home affairs and youth affairs, ms mak mei-kuen, the home affairs department and the yau tsim mong district office, they coordinated to an external wall of henry leong yau ma tei community center. make this good thing happen.

it has to be said that huo qigang's network resources helped him realize a small dream.

from his disclosure in the article, it can be seen that this action is not only to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the national day, but also to wish the cultural, artistic and sports circles in hong kong to continue to shine on the international stage.

jiang minxi won the first gold medal for the hong kong delegation at the paris olympics

uncle hai wants to say, as the chief executive of the hong kong special administrative region, lee ka-chiu, said on his social media——

athletes from hong kong, china, showed extraordinary strength at the paris olympics, winning a total of two gold medals and two bronze medals in four sports. it was the first time that hong kong, china, won more than one gold medal at the same olympic games.

huo qigang further proposed that he hopes that hong kong players, including those from the cultural and artistic circles, can also shine on the international stage.

hong kong certainly has a very good foundation. whether it is hong kong movies, some literary works, dramas, etc., they have had their own glory in different historical periods.

fok qigang mentioned that the hong kong performing arts expo, which will be held in hong kong from october 14th to 18th, will host a series of exchange activities such as performance programs, international boutique performances, project promotions, lectures and exhibitions.

"further build a performing arts platform, promote cultural and artistic exchanges, and promote cooperation, exchanges and mutual learning between china and the international performing arts industry. we look forward to more domestic and foreign friends coming to hong kong to appreciate the creativity of our stage arts community." said fok qigang.

from his words, we can feel that he positions hong kong as a window for china to communicate with the world and a stage for the world to contact china.

uncle hai also noticed that just before the 75th anniversary of the national day, fok qigang, as a representative of the national people's congress, a member of the hong kong legislative council, and the chairman of the hong kong arts development council, met with the member of the standing committee of the 14th national committee of the chinese people's political consultative conference, the vice chairman of the all-china federation of industry and commerce, and the all-china federation of tourism he chaoqiong, executive chairman of the chamber of commerce and industry and chairman of shunde group, quan hongchan, a chinese female diver and olympic champion, and zeng xiaomin, a representative of cantonese opera, chairman of the guangdong provincial dramatists association and director of the guangdong cantonese theater, jointly served as the "guangdong cultural tourism promotion ambassador".

i have to say that the "ambassador" of the guangdong provincial department of culture and tourism has been well-appointed!

historically, hong kong and macao were part of guangdong province. due to the arrival of western colonists, these two places were once colonized. after the two places returned to the embrace of the motherland:

one is the hong kong special administrative region,

one is the macao special administrative region.

from the perspective of national system construction, it is "one country, two systems";

from the perspective of administrative division, it is not under the jurisdiction of the same province as guangdong province.

but the southern cantonese culture has the same origin——

speak cantonese,

watching cantonese opera,

eat the same rice as you eat.

it is precisely for this reason that the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area was born at the right time.

after serving as ambassador, huo qigang said via video:

we sincerely invite tourists from home and abroad to come to guangdong,

feel the prosperity of the birthplace of the maritime silk road,

experience in depth the rich international conventions, exhibitions, festivals and colorful cultural and tourism industries in the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area.

he also said that with the 15th national games jointly held by guangdong, hong kong and macao in 2025, more exciting cultural and sports events will be presented in the three places, which will also attract more people to visit the greater bay area.

the islands district office of the hong kong special administrative region, the islands district committee of the new territories federation of societies, the associations of hong kong islands districts, the hong kong flag raising corps association, the hong kong federation of educators wong chu piu secondary school and the hong kong federation of educators wong chu piu school jointly organized the "celebrating the prosperity of the motherland" during the national day flag-raising ceremony, students took the stage and recited "questioning the sky"

it is worth noting that in hong kong, many activities related to celebrating national day have become more characteristic of traditional chinese culture, and have more connotations of being connected by blood and sharing one heart and one mind with the motherland.

for example, at the national day flag-raising ceremony held on october 1 at the "prosperity of the motherland and celebration of peace" held at the auditorium of huang chubiao middle school of the federation of teachers, students not only performed a dragon and lion performance rich in lingnan culture, but also recited "asking the sky·quest" to show the brilliant achievements of my country’s aerospace industry. at the end of the flag-raising ceremony, the huang chubiao middle school choir sang "singing the motherland" with all the guests, which also showed the students' patriotic enthusiasm.

uncle hai also noticed that during the flag-raising ceremony, the flag-raising team marched in chinese goose steps, in line with the pace of the chinese people's liberation army, and proudly raised the national flag of the people's republic of china to the top of the flagpole. this change in the details of the flag-raising ceremony has been realized from top to bottom, from the disciplinary forces of the hong kong special administrative region to primary and secondary schools, which is gratifying.

only in hong kong, china, can the next generation of young people paint a better picture of a heart-to-heart connection with the motherland!
