"This is my 70 years of experience in Hong Kong." Chen Baixiang said as a past person, but he also pointed out that he hopes that Hong Kong will continue to develop well and the society must remain stable, because only in this way can there be opportunities for prosperity and progress.
Chen Baixiang is honored to be awarded the Bronze Bauhinia Star.
For many years of supporting and participating in charity projects, he believes that only by virtue of the celebrity's popularity and influence, he has done his part of the public's due responsibility.
So when he received the winning call, he felt happy and "a little surprised".
As a member of the Hong Kong star football team, since its establishment in 1986, Chen Baixiang's team has played more than 300 games in China and raised more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
He also owns several charities and social enterprises, hoping to help people in need.
What is less known is that since the return of Hong Kong to the motherland in 1997, the Hong Kong star football team has participated in the sympathy activities of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison every year.
Chen Baixiang said that the garrison unconditionally guards Hong Kong, and Hong Kong people should have something to say to these people who protect their homes.

Speaking of last year's "Regulations Amendment Disturbance", Chen Baixiang felt that Hong Kong "suddenly seemed to have fallen" and what happened was completely beyond his expectation.
After radical demonstrators surrounded the police headquarters, Chen Baixiang began to take part in activities of condolences and support for the police force.
This is to cheer up the police officers and to be fair to them.
"Because you have no reason to leave them alone." He said.
In Chen Baixiang's view, Hong Kong citizens can have different ideas, but they cannot impose their own ideas on others.
Hong Kong citizens can also fight for their demands peacefully, but it would be a mistake if they were mixed with violence.
He said: "There is a bottom line, that is, you must abide by the law."
Chen Baixiang is a person who does not have his own stand because of fear.
In fact, public figures in the non-political world rarely express their views on political events, especially in the entertainment industry, but Chen Baixiang said: "If you think this is right, and you are afraid of not doing what you want to do. I think it’s boring."
He is well aware that the voices of public figures will resonate with some people.
On the other hand, he is not afraid of the nuisance caused by vocalization, because he understands that the world will not fall sideways and believes in who is right and who is wrong "time will prove everything."
"I don't need to persuade everyone, but when you break the law, I will come out and tell you that you are breaking the law." Chen Baixiang likened his life's way of doing things to playing football. Responsible for the matter.
Once off the court, he will not hate anyone.
Chen Baixiang felt sad to see many young people arrested for participating in illegal activities.
He believes that as the violence intensifies, young people who lack self-control are encouraged to rush to the "frontline."
Chen Baixiang said that he has no children, so he doesn't know how to teach young people, but young people definitely don't experience as many things as their elders.
After saying this, he suddenly changed his tone and clarified that the meaning of the words was not to press the young man through experience.
"It's not that people who have seen a lot are right." He said that after absorbing all this, young people can use their analytical skills to make judgments on the right or wrong of events.
