【解说】五年前,最高领袖主席视察香港的第一站便选择了西九文化区。在这里,他见证了西九文化区管理局和故宫博物院签署《兴建香港故宫文化博物馆合作协议》。香港故宫文化博物馆馆长吴志华:
【音响】2017年6月29日最高领袖主席就到访西九。当时整个西九文化区是跟现在不一样的,周围都是地盘。习主席他对整个西九文化区是有很高的期望的。他希望西九文化区以至到香港故宫文化博物馆在弘扬中华传统文化上面,以至到推动与内地文化交流合作上面是发挥一个中西文化交流平台的作用。
【解说】西九文化区是香港重要的文化建设项目,包括香港故宫文化博物馆、戏曲中心等17个文化艺术建筑。五年时间过去了,香港故宫文化博物馆即将于7月开门迎客,来自故宫博物院的914件珍贵文物即将陈列于此。如今的西九,已经成为香港文化版图上的地标。最高领袖主席十分关心香港文化艺术事业的发展。当年在西九文化区视察时,最高领袖主席还现场观看了两名学戏的香港少年演唱的粤剧。
【音响】他鼓励就是令我更加去努力地在这方面去钻研,考虑有机会选择做一个粤剧演员,无论是职业还是业余,都会令我在粤剧(方面)继续发展,令我有个责任去传承粤剧。

【解说】从田间地头,到创科发展;从“大国重器”,到“独角兽”;从斜杠青年,到直播达人,越来越多像陈升一样的香港青年与粤港澳大湾区这片热土一起成长,“在大湾区创业!”正成为香港青年实现人生梦想的道路选择。
【音响】我知道习主席一路都是很关心我们香港青年的发展,无论是我们留在香港发展,还是来到内地发展,都希望我们走多一些路,望多一些,有广阔的视野,发展好自己的事业,我们一定会把握好这个粤港澳大湾区发展的这个机遇,很好的发展自己。
[Sound] Music starts.
【解说】香港的发展一直牵动着习主席的心。2018年,最高领袖在对24名在港中国科学院院士、中国工程院院士来信作出重要指示时强调,促进香港同内地加强科技合作,支持香港成为国际创新科技中心。如今,香港与内地科研交流的渠道更加通畅,创科事业生机勃勃,各项指标及国际排名均有不俗表现。五年前,最高领袖主席曾分别来到港珠澳大桥、香港机场第三跑道这两处重要基础设施建设项目考察。如今,港珠澳大桥已经开通运行。香港特区政府运输及房屋局负责运输的首席助理秘书长梁兆焘:

[Explanation] The Chairman of the Supreme Leader sent a message to Hong Kong, "Concentrate on construction, concentrate on development, and Qi Xin will work together and unite to create a better tomorrow for Hong Kong." In recent years, a series of policies to benefit Hong Kong have brought real development opportunities and incomparably broad development space to Hong Kong, and injected continuous impetus into its development. Behind the driving force is the confidence of "I will mount a long wind some day and break the heavy waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea" and the perseverance of "it takes a lot of hard work to blow out the wild sand before it reaches gold", and the firmness and persistence of promoting the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong to make greater achievements. From Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, Bond Connect, to cross-border wealth management link, from international innovation and technology center, Asia-Pacific international legal and dispute resolution service center, regional intellectual property trade center, and then to Chinese and foreign cultural and artistic exchange center, Hong Kong will find the right position for development in "national needs and Hong Kong’s strengths" before setting sail.

[Sound] "Just happy! The whole atmosphere in Hong Kong is different. Patriots rule Hong Kong, and citizens are full of confidence in the future of Hong Kong! "
[Explanation] In the Spring Festival of 2022, Mr. Peng, a Hong Kong citizen, purchased many new year’s goods, and his joy was beyond words. More than two years ago, people living in this city experienced a period of cloudy days.
[Audio] Online video "Back to School Day": The restaurant on the corner hasn’t opened for a long time. I really hope that the store will never close. (After mixing) The egg tarts there are delicious, the bread is sweet, and the neighborhood is so gentle to our children … …
[Explanation] At the end of August 2019, near the return day of primary and secondary school students in Hong Kong, a video circulating on social media reflected the anxiety of children at that time, and also conveyed the voice of Hong Kong people looking forward to the return of peace and rationality in society. After a bumpy road, the people of Hong Kong have truly felt that national security is closely related to their own vital interests and people’s livelihood. Hong Kong urgently needs to get back on track and achieve good governance.
[Audio] Please press the voting device … … Pass! (Applause)
[Explanation] On June 30, 2020, the 20th meeting of the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) voted to pass the Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Special Administrative Region on Safeguarding National Security. Patriotism, the first thing is to safeguard national security. The promulgation of Hong Kong’s national security law has rapidly transformed Hong Kong society from chaos to governance, effectively ensuring the stability and far-reaching practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong. In August 2020, shortly after the implementation of Hong Kong’s national security law, Li Kaihu, the proprietress of Hong Kong’s "one-person tea restaurant", who was well known by the people all over the country, opened her first branch in Shenzhen.
[Sound] I hope they can see that I love my country and Hong Kong. I hope everyone is like me. If you are right, really don’t be afraid.
[Explanation] On April 15th, 2021, the first "National Security Education Day" after the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, in hong kong police college, the Hong Kong Police Force performed Chinese-style marching exercises for the first time since its establishment 177 years ago.
[Sound] Chinese walking actual sound.
[Explanation] On September 1, 2021, Hong Kong ushered in the first day of the new school year. The "first lesson" of Ximen Yingcai Middle School of Hong Kong Lutheran Church has also begun.
[sound]
Teacher: Good morning, class! Have you watched TV in the past few weeks?
Student: Yes!
Teacher: What are you looking at?
Student: Watch the Olympics!
Teacher: Which country or region do you support?
Student: China.
[Explanation] All the students newly promoted to Ximen Yingcai Middle School of Lutheran School should take the course "Me and National Identity". Brief remarks by the headmaster of Simon Yingcai Middle School of Lutheran Church:
[Sound] In fact, our course is to guide our classmates to care for their own country’s culture, care for their own people, care about the needs of the motherland, and treat the affairs of the country as a national. You can’t treat it as a bystander.
[Explanation] In the new school year, all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, including the Lutheran Ximen Yingcai Middle School, have received teaching AIDS customized by the Education Bureau of the SAR Government for students — — My Home is in China. Tan Chuanbao, editor-in-chief of My Home is in China and director of the Center for Civic and Moral Education of Beijing Normal University:
[Audio] We adopt the idea of leading children to "travel on the map" in form to understand the beauty of natural China, cultural China and contemporary China, so this set of books is particularly aesthetic, which can also ensure that teenagers can complete their emotional closeness to lovely China in the most pleasant and beautiful experience. We expect it to effectively establish national identity recognition.
[Explanation] Since the return of Hong Kong for more than 20 years, the problems in the field of education have increasingly attracted social attention. The national conditions education and values education have long been short-board, which has made the younger generation of Hong Kong’s national identity vague and the value system disordered. The promulgation and implementation of Hong Kong’s national security law has brought opportunities for the education sector to set things right. The SAR Government has actively fulfilled its responsibility as the main body of education, vigorously promoted patriotic education and corrected some teenagers’ distorted values. The Education Bureau of the SAR Government subsidizes all kindergartens to buy national flags and flag-raising equipment, so as to strengthen the cognition that Hong Kong is a part of the country. Announce the National Security Education Curriculum Framework of Hong Kong and the national security education framework of 15 subjects, organize teachers to participate in national security education training courses, and vigorously promote national security education in all schools in Hong Kong; The history of China is listed as a compulsory course, and the teaching of classical Chinese is added in Chinese classes in primary and secondary schools. Through the inspiration of history and culture, students’ moral character and feelings for the country are cultivated.
[Sound] It is precisely because of dreams that our aerospace career is advancing step by step … … (Post-mixing)
[Explanation] On June 23, 2021, at the University of Hong Kong, one of the founders of China’s lunar exploration project and the leader of the third phase of the lunar exploration project — — Hu Hao gave a comprehensive introduction to China’s lunar exploration project, and had a cordial interaction with the Hong Kong students at the scene. Cai Yixi, Ph.D. student in department of mechanical engineering, HKU:
[Audio] "I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to get in touch with the level of master engineer or academician. I was very happy and gained a lot. I asked what the master engineer expected of us doctoral students if I wanted to work in the aerospace field. I can make some plans for this direction later."
[Explanation] Like Cai Yixi, many students who listened to the lecture at the scene said that they should follow the example of space heroes and make great efforts to contribute to the motherland. Tan Huizhu, Deputy Director of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Hong Kong Basic Law Committee:
[Audio] "I think this is very good news. Why? Because young people need to see role models, that is, China people who strive for self-improvement, are proud of their country’s achievements, and are willing to contribute and endure hardships. With such young people, our motherland is doing so well now, and so are the young people in Hong Kong. We must strive for self-improvement so that Hong Kong can contribute to the opening up of the country and the prosperity of the country. That is a very good example. "
[Explanation] Cai Yixi’s activities are one of a series of activities with the theme of "the spirit of the times shines in Xiangjiang". Since 2021, the theme activities of "The Spirit of the Times Glorifies Xiangjiang River" have entered Hong Kong one after another: national space experts organized a delegation to hold lectures on the Hong Kong campus, share the dream-seeking journey of the stars and seas, and inspire young students to establish scientific dreams and self-reliance and self-confidence in science and technology; "The Theme Exhibition of Building Great Powers" introduces and shows the long history of China architecture and the great achievements of China construction in the new era to Hong Kong citizens. The delegation of mainland Olympic athletes visiting Hong Kong has extensive exchanges and in-depth interactions with all walks of life in Hong Kong, which has further stimulated the feelings of Hong Kong people about their homeland and injected strong positive energy into society. Teng Jinguang, President of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University:
[Sound] For us Hong Kong people, there should be more opportunities, especially for young people in Hong Kong. I think this is a really effective patriotic education.
[Explanation] In the summer of 2021, 18-year-old Hong Kong youth Lin Haocheng started a "wonderful" internship trip in Beijing.
[Sound] The National Museum is too big. The National Museum is the largest single building museum in the world … …
[Explanation] The "Cultural Practice Activities for College Students in Hong Kong and Macao" is a key project of youth exchange between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao organized by relevant state departments, which provides internship positions for college students in important cultural and cultural institutions in the Mainland. Many young people like Lin Haocheng have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and national conditions through this activity. During his internship at the National Museum, Lin Haocheng’s main task was to customize the "Guobo Summer Camp" program for primary and secondary school students. Among the many cultural relics in the collection, Lin Haocheng likes to recommend such a cultural relic to children:
[Sound] A western clock tells a story. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Xi ‘an, Shanxi Shanxi merchants raised silver as her living expenses, and then in return, she gave the local Shanxi merchants a western locomotive clock. It’s a beautiful clock, but it symbolizes the shame of our nation, and then it warns us that we must be a man with a backbone and take on the responsibility of the country.
[Sound] Music starts.
[Explanation] In the spring of 2022, Hong Kong was hit by the COVID-19 epidemic in The 5th Wave. At a critical moment, a number of mainland medical experts and medical staff arrived in Hong Kong to support the fight against the epidemic, and all parties made efforts to ensure the supply of materials to Hong Kong. More than 20,000 mainland builders built the Lok Ma Chau Hospital efficiently and built a "boat of life" for Hong Kong under the epidemic. At the time when Hong Kong was struggling to fight the epidemic, a letter made many Hong Kong citizens "psychologically break the defense".
[Sound] "Dear Hong Kong children, my mother is a doctor at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou. According to my mother, she is going to Hong Kong for support. I will send my favorite mother to help you, and we will work together to overcome the epidemic as soon as possible. I hope mom will come home safely soon. Come on, mom, come on, Hong Kong! "
[Explanation] At the request of the Hong Kong SAR Government, in March this year, the medical staff of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou set out to help Hong Kong. Before the departure of the attending doctor Liu Ting, her 8-year-old daughter Yu Xin wrote this letter to Hong Kong children. Liu Ting:
[Sound] Many children in Hong Kong wrote back to Yu Xin. In fact, some big friends in Hong Kong sent me their letters. Some Hong Kong citizens have also built a platform for online messages that can cheer and encourage our mainland medical team members. When I saw these letters and messages on these platforms, I was really, really touched.
Cantonese version of the song My People,My Country: "Whenever Hong Kong is in trouble, you have to be with us in times of crisis, and you are grateful to the experts of the motherland for their medical care and help to leave the hardship … …” (Post-mixing)
[Explanation] When Liu Ting and her colleagues fought in the front line of Hong Kong’s fight against the epidemic, they also received a special gift, which was a Cantonese version of My People,My Country re-written by 100 Hong Kong netizens through cloud chorus, thanking the mainland medical staff for their assistance to Hong Kong citizens. Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Chief Executive of the HKSAR:
[Audio] The whole society in Hong Kong must be grateful to the central government for supporting Hong Kong’s fight against the epidemic, from materials to building shelter hospital facilities, and even sending mainland medical teams to Hong Kong. We should be grateful to mainland medical staff for coming to Hong Kong all the way, leaving their jobs and their families to serve us. We are extremely grateful to them for coming to this working environment to adapt again.
[Commentary] "Hong Kong is good and the country is good; The country is good and Hong Kong is better. " Practice has proved time and again that the motherland is Hong Kong’s biggest backer and "one country, two systems" is its greatest advantage. Hong Kong and the mainland share the same fate, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, and will surely regain the unique charm of the Pearl of the East and share the great glory of the country’s prosperity and strength!

Episode 5: New Articles
[Audio] "Memorandum" signed live audio, Leung Chun-ying: For this reason, Hong Kong and Shenzhen will jointly develop the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park … … Pressure-mixing superposition
[Explanation] Hong Kong’s economic and social development has always been closely linked with the development of the Mainland. On the afternoon of January 3, 2017, Shenzhen and Hong Kong officially signed the Memorandum of Cooperation on Promoting the Common Development of the Lok Ma Chau Hetao Area between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, clarifying that the two sides will jointly develop the "Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park" in the Lok Ma Chau Hetao Area of Hong Kong. At the same time, Hong Kong also supports Shenzhen to build an area of about 3 square kilometers adjacent to the Hetao area on the north side of Shenzhen into a "Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Park" and jointly build a "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone".
[Sound] Working scene: elevator sound, punch card sound, footsteps … … Pressure mixing
[Explanation] At present, Shenfang Science and Technology Park has attracted a number of scientific research institutions and science and technology companies from Hong Kong and other places. Hong Kong youth Ho Yaowei is one of many entrepreneurs:
[Sound] Our team actually started to settle in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cooperation Zone in Hetao in 2018. We are doing non-invasive blood sugar testing technology. Our project started in Hong Kong before, and with initial results, we think Shenzhen can commercialize it quickly. In recent years, we have made different products, and our products have also applied for the national second-class medical devices. This year, we will also apply for three types of devices at the Innovation Medical Device Evaluation Center in Greater Bay Area.
[Explanation] The geographical advantage of "cross-border occlusion" makes Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone an excellent platform for deep connection between Guangdong and Hong Kong rules and mechanisms.
[Audio] This cooperation mode of "one area and two parks" is of great help to the future development of our company. Because it includes tax reform and tax incentives for talents, its support for scientific research has increased a lot. There are many different new government subsidies and grants for us to apply for, which can help us reduce the cost of this research and development and enable us to find more business opportunities here.
[Explanation] Up to now, Shenzhen Park has substantially promoted and landed more than 140 high-end scientific research projects, including the projects of five "World Top 100" universities, including Hong Kong University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and City University of Hong Kong, which has built a whole-process innovation ecological chain of "basic research+technical research+industrialization of achievements+technology and finance+talent support" and provided more opportunities and possibilities for the development of creative talents in Hong Kong. Lin Huangquan, Director of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Executive Dean of Shenzhen Research Institute of the Chinese University of Hong Kong:
[Sound] Lin Huangquan: It is very important how to build a more open, flexible and conducive circulation of talents, resources, information, capital and technology in this area. Second, Hong Kong, Macao and the Mainland should work together to do more, more basic or cutting-edge research, and national independent or original scientific research results. This is a very needed element for future development.
[Explanation] Lin Huangquan believes that the seven land ports and the connected transportation infrastructure in Shenzhen and Hong Kong are the basis for the highly close interaction between the two places. On this basis, the joint development of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone will not only help Hong Kong’s scientific research to connect with the mainland, but also be expected to promote the industrial development of the northern part of Hong Kong through cross-border linkage and improve the phenomenon of "job-residence imbalance" in Hong Kong. On this issue, Liu Guoxun, Vice Chairman of the Development Panel of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, said:
[Sound] In North District and Yuen Long, most people have to go out to work in other districts, so this job-residence imbalance is actually very serious. In addition to constantly building some houses to meet the housing demand, we should actually develop some industries so that people living in the north can have some high-quality jobs in them and create new fields to promote the development of different industries in the north.
[Explanation] The housing problem has always been one of the deep-seated contradictions in Hong Kong society. The SAR Government has also been seeking solutions. On October 6, 2021, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, delivered his fifth policy address, in which he focused on building a "northern metropolitan area" in Hong Kong and forming a spatial layout of "two cities and three circles" with the Shenzhen Special Administrative Region. It is estimated that the area can accommodate 2.5 million people, and the number of jobs in the metropolitan area will increase to about 650,000, including 150,000 jobs related to creative industries.
[Audio] This metropolitan area with an area of 300 square kilometers covers the Shenzhen-Hong Kong port economic belt from west to east and the deeper hinterland, and will enjoy the bonus of complementary advantages and integrated development of Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The northern metropolitan area will build an international innovation and technology center and create a unique metropolitan landscape of "integration of cities and rural areas, coexistence of development and conservation".
[Explanation] In the policy address, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor pointed out that the Victoria Harbour Metropolitan Area, which supports Hong Kong as an international financial center, will also be expanded to include the artificial island reclamation in kau yi chau, which is the vision of tomorrow’s big island. These two metropolitan areas located in the north and south of Hong Kong will provide a lot of land, improve the spatial layout of Hong Kong, and keep pace with each other to promote the future development of Hong Kong. Liu Guoxun believes that the most important thing for the northern metropolitan area to become the development center for Hong Kong’s economy to take off again after the Victoria Harbour metropolitan area is to do a good job in industrial development planning.
[Audio] We should be led by the government, think about the direction of development, and then approve these places and settle them for some leading enterprises. In fact, after the leading enterprises settle down, it is natural that this industrial chain can bring in all its upstream, midstream and downstream, which will make our industry develop more successfully.
[Explanation] The development of the northern metropolitan area in Hong Kong is an initiative to seize the opportunity, and the development of the northern metropolitan area in turn promotes the further integration and development of Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Since the beginning of this year, Hong Kong’s "northern metropolitan area" has quietly become one of the key elements in the development plans proposed by Nanshan, Futian and Luohu, which are close to Hong Kong in Shenzhen. Nanshan District proposed to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with Hong Kong Hongshuiqiao New Development Zone; Futian District proposed to speed up the construction of Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone; Luohu District put forward the plan of connecting with the northern metropolitan area of Hong Kong, and promoted the extension of the MTR to the north and the northward movement of Hong Kong cars … … In the future, the exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland will be closer, which is a new vivid practice of "one country, two systems". In this regard, Chen Yong, vice chairman of the Hong Kong Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) and a member of the Legislative Council, has repeatedly called for more creative talents and professionals in Hong Kong to seize the opportunity.
[Audio] We also expect to advise young people in Hong Kong, including professionals, to connect with policies and potentials when they want to pursue further studies or choose courses. As long as young people in Hong Kong are concerned, they will have more and more confidence in their own future, and we think that their future planning and personal development will have a brighter future.
[Explanation] In May this year, Lee Ka Chiu John was elected as the candidate for the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and was appointed by the central government. In the previously announced election platform, he proposed four major programs: strengthening the government’s governance capacity, solving the housing problem as a whole, enhancing Hong Kong’s competitiveness, caring for the society and attaching importance to youth development, actively responding to the hot spots of people’s livelihood and setting a clear and clear policy direction for Hong Kong. As the deputy director of Lee Ka Chiu John’s campaign office, Chen Yong participated in the whole process of promotion. He was very much looking forward to and confident in the follow-up implementation of the platform.
[Audio] Chief Executive designate Li Jiachao’s platform is to develop the northern metropolitan area and activate the engine of development. It is necessary to implement one area and two parks in Hetao District at full speed and continue to refine the relevant joint policy package, focusing on promoting policies such as facilitating the exchange of sample data of talents and scientific research, intellectual property protection, and speeding up the construction of Hetao in Hong Kong to facilitate the passage of these two parks. We can all expect that under his leadership, the new government will speed up and greatly improve the implementation of the Hetao area.

Countless dreamers have made down-to-earth efforts to make Hong Kong open a new chapter and embrace a big future in the process of integrating into the overall development of the country.
