The graduation ceremony for the "2015 Future Star—China National Conditions Education Training Class" for Hong Kong university students was held at Tsinghua University on the 30th. Many Hong Kong students stated that the 8-day study tour enhanced their understanding of the mainland's development and traditional culture, and that they would pay more attention to the mainland and place greater importance on understanding national conditions in the future.
This training course was co-hosted by Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po and the Future Star Alumni Association, and organized by Tsinghua University. Nearly 100 outstanding students from various Hong Kong universities conducted an 8-day study tour in Beijing. Renowned professors from Tsinghua University and the National Defense University provided lectures covering topics such as governing the country and Hong Kong according to law, China's economy under the new normal, the structure of the Chinese military and the development of national defense forces, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the Chinese development model, and China's international status and contemporary foreign policy. The students also visited the Honor Guard of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the Capital Museum, and toured the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, Shichahai, Wangfujing Street, and the 798 Art Zone.
At the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the students visited the "Great Victory, Historical Contribution—Themed Exhibition Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War." Huang Yuning, a student from Hong Kong Shue Yan University, said that she cherished the opportunity to experience this history firsthand, and after viewing the exhibition, she felt immense respect for the martyrs of the War of Resistance and realized that the motherland's achievements today were hard-won.
