China News Service, Hong Kong, September 30 (Reporter Han Xingtong) Hong Kong compatriots celebrated the 71st anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China on the 30th at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

Luo Huining, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attended the conference and said in a speech that Hong Kong is the common home of the citizens. To build this home, we need to deeply root the feelings of family and country in the soil of Hong Kong society.

  Luo Huining, after extending festive congratulations to the general public of Hong Kong, said that the country is tens of millions, and a good country is better.

This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day gathering together made people think deeply about the relationship between the home and the country.

"Looking back on the extraordinary journey that Hong Kong and the motherland have gone through together, we have become more and more aware of the principle of the same structure and common destiny for our family and country."

  He pointed out that since modern times, the Chinese nation has been in the deep suffering of China's landfall and the country's collapse and family destruction. It was at that time that Hong Kong was forced to leave the embrace of the motherland and suffered from humiliation and pain, and experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes.

It is the growing strength of the country that enabled Hong Kong to return to the motherland under the great concept of "one country, two systems" and embark on a broad road of common development and never separation with the motherland.

  Luo Huining said that it is the growing strength of the country that has enabled Hong Kong to successfully resist the major impacts of the Asian financial crisis, SARS epidemic and international financial crisis one after another. It has consolidated its position as an international financial, shipping, and trade center, and has been continuously selected as the world's most important by many international organizations. One of the areas of competitiveness; the growing strength of the country prevents Hong Kong from falling into the abyss of the "color revolution". The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress enacted the Hong Kong National Security Law, which allowed Hong Kong to end the rampant "Hong Kong independence" and "black violence". The turbulent situation in China ushered in a major turning point from chaos to governance.

  Luo Huining said that if you look back at the past, Guoan will bring peace to your family, and a strong country will prosper your family. This is the personal experience of generations of Hong Kong compatriots and the deepest memory of family-state relations under the Lion Rock.

Hong Kong compatriots have a glorious tradition of loving the country and Hong Kong.

However, over the years, some people have tried their best to downplay the national consciousness of Hong Kong society, and even tried to counter "one country" by distorting the "two systems".

This clearly tells the world that it is still a very important and urgent issue to enhance national awareness and promote family and country feelings in Hong Kong.

  Luo Huining pointed out that at present, the world has undergone profound changes unseen in a century.

"The ship is great to head the waves." Facing the increasingly severe and complex international situation, Hong Kong needs the shoulders of the great motherland more than ever, and more than ever, it should emphasize its responsibility to the country.

  Luo Huining emphasized that to build Hong Kong as a home, we must enhance national awareness.

Fully and accurately implement the "one country, two systems" policy, and clearly realize that only by adhering to the bottom line of "one country" can there be room for "two systems"; if not abiding by "the foundation of one country," there will be no benefits of "two systems."

Stand more firmly with the motherland, safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, walk with the country in the same spirit and direction, stand firm and stand firm on major issues of right and wrong, and be committed to the uncompromising and commitment that should be adhered to Only when Hong Kong does not evade or let go of what should be promoted, can Hong Kong break through the whirlpool of "pan-politicization", lift the bondage of "dark violence" and "hype speculation," and successfully deal with various risks and challenges, so that the interests of citizens can be better protected. .

  He said that to build a home in Hong Kong, we must persist in the prosperity of the country.

The Chinese nation is advancing courageously towards the grand goal of national rejuvenation, which has brought strong momentum and huge space for Hong Kong's future development.

More proactively integrate into the overall situation of national development, closely link Hong Kong’s fundamental interests with the overall interests of the nation, and make good use of the biggest advantage of “one country, two systems”, the biggest stage of national reform and opening up, and the joint construction of “One Belt, One Road” and With the implementation of this new major opportunity for national strategies such as the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong can solve deep-seated contradictions and problems in its development, give full play to its comparative advantages, and better protect the development of citizens.
