[Explanation] On February 5, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region held the 2021 Chinese New Year reception online. This is the first time that the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government of Hong Kong has held a reception in the form of "cloud celebration".

On the same day, Luo Huining, director of the Liaison Office of the Hong Kong Central Committee, and cadres and staff of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China visited Hong Kong compatriots on the live broadcast platform of the "Cloud Drink Party".

In her speech, Luo Huining stated that 2020 will be very unusual and unforgettable.

He said that it has been a year since he came to Hong Kong to perform his duties, and he has learned more about Hong Kong, has a deeper relationship, and has more confidence in Hong Kong.

Looking back on the past year, he shared "Four Unforgettable Moments".

　　The first moment was last year's "July 1st", when the Hong Kong National Security Law was implemented. More than 100 fishing boats spontaneously cruised around the Victoria Harbour. People raised the slogan "National Security, Hong Kong Peace and Peace of Mind".

In the second moment, in August last year, the mainland aid to Hong Kong anti-epidemic team arrived in Hong Kong, and many people held flowers in their hands to welcome them.

The third moment was the Mid-Autumn Festival of the National Day last year. I visited the elderly and subdivided households in Siu Sai Wan on Hong Kong Island and Sham Shui Po in Kowloon. I deeply felt that there was no room for delay in restoring the economy and alleviating the plight of the people.

The fourth moment is the last day of 2020. TVB and B station, the most popular online platform for young people in the Mainland, jointly produced a New Year's Eve party.

Thousands of drones blasted out the words "I love Hong Kong, I love China" over the Victoria Harbour, and netizens from both places swiped the screen of "Hong Kong is better tomorrow".

The four moments, in my opinion, are the true epitome of the spiritual and material pursuits of Hong Kong citizens.

　　[Explanation] Regarding the future development of Hong Kong, Luo Huining said that the “changes” in Hong Kong in the past year are to set things right.

Correcting both the "deformation" and "out-of-shape", "One Country, Two Systems" will surely move forward in the correct direction.

Facing the future, he has "four judgments" about Hong Kong.

　　[Concurrent] Luo Huining, Director of the Liaison Office of the Central Government in Hong Kong

　　First, the policy of "one country, two systems" will not change, and the bottom line of "one country" will be stronger and the vitality of "two systems" will be greater.

Second, the rights conferred by the Constitution and the Basic Law will not change, and the ability to protect Hong Kong’s peace will be stronger and the effectiveness of safeguarding national security will be better.

Third, the lifestyle that everyone is accustomed to will not change, and the pace of economic development and improvement of people's livelihood will increase, and the quality of life of the general public will improve.

Fourth, the advantages of the free market and the pattern of facing the world will not change, and there will be greater room for integration into the country's development and greater confidence in participating in international competition.

We must strengthen our confidence and unite in the fight against the epidemic. The motherland will always be a strong backing for Hong Kong, and the immediate difficulties will surely be overcome.

　　[Explanation] On the same day, the guests at the meeting also sent beautiful New Year blessings to all walks of life through the "Cloud Cocktail Party".

　　[Concurrent] Dong Jianhua, Vice Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee

　　Hong Kong will surely be able to overcome adversity, walk out of the trough, and create a new golden age.

　　[Concurrent] Liang Zhenying, Vice Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee

　　As long as we uphold our past efforts and strive forward, we will certainly be able to open up a new situation for the common development of the country and Hong Kong.

　　[Concurrent] Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

　　I believe that after overcoming the epidemic, with the strong support of the central government and the unlimited opportunities in the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong's economy will thrive and people's livelihood will be improved.

　　[Concurrent] Zheng Yanxiong, Director of the National Security Agency in Hong Kong

　　No matter how the international situation changes, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the general trend of Hong Kong glowing with the charm of the Oriental Pearl, no one can stop it.

　　[Concurrent] Yang Yirui, Acting Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong

　　Fully support the SAR to expand foreign exchanges and cooperation, and participate in the “Belt and Road” and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

　　[Concurrent] Chen Daoxiang, Commander of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison

　　We will comprehensively improve our ability to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and unswervingly promote the great practice of "one country, two systems" with stability and long-term progress.

　　[Commentary] Cai Yongzhong, Political Commissar of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison

　　Make new and greater contributions to the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and a better tomorrow for Hong Kong.
