The "Tour of the Republic—Guangxi and Hong Kong Youth Building the Chinese Dream" special train delegation, jointly organized by nine Hong Kong associations including the Kowloon Federation of Associations, the Hong Kong Federation of Guangxi Community Organizations, the Hong Kong Guangdong Community Organization, the Hong Kong Federation of Fujian Associations, the Hong Kong Hainan Community Organization, the Youth Council, the Hong Kong Youth Exchange Promotion Association, the Kowloon East Association, and the Kowloon West Association, held a press conference today to introduce the four major projects and highlights of this delegation.
Delegation leader Ma Hongming stated that the activities will include four major projects: a "Hundred-Family Banquet" featuring ethnic minority characteristics, charity activities to sponsor impoverished students, the "My Chinese Dream" theme youth forum, and a joint gala for both regions. He believes that the most important purpose of organizing Hong Kong youth to visit Liuzhou, Guangxi for exchange and study is to allow Hong Kong youth to experience ethnic cultural characteristics, understand development in the Mainland, broaden their horizons, and at the same time encourage youth to understand the country and serve society.
It is reported that the delegation will depart on April 17, with over 500 working Hong Kong youth aged 24 to 45, with an average age of approximately 32, participating. They have all been recommended and selected by more than 40 Hong Kong social organizations and are talented individuals of the new generation who are capable of handling responsibilities across various sectors in Hong Kong. The event also successfully invited Lin Wu, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong S.A.R., and Tsang Tak-sing, Secretary for Home Affairs of the Hong Kong S.A.R. Government, to serve as honorary patrons of the event.
