[Explanation] On the morning of February 25, the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

China has won an all-round victory in the battle against poverty.

A few days ago, Ye Jianming, member of the CPPCC National Committee of the Hong Kong District and director of the China Economic and Social Council, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency that in 2020, China will fight poverty as scheduled and eliminate absolute poverty and regional overall poverty. How can this meaning be emphasized? Not an exaggeration.

Because this is not only an unprecedented miracle in China's 5000-year history, but also a miracle in the history of poverty alleviation in the world.

　　[Explanation] Ye Jianming, whose ancestral home is in Quanzhou, Fujian, grew up curled up under the burden of his grandmother selling goods. Poverty is the deepest background of his childhood.

He dropped out of school at the age of 13, earning money to support his family by raising ducks, feeding pigs, and selling popsicles.

Because of this, Ye Jianming, who started from scratch and worked hard in Hong Kong for 36 years, has turned from a "wage earner" to an industrialist, and has a strong empathy for the miracle of poverty alleviation created by China.

In his view, it should be a monument to the "Chinese backbone" on the road to poverty alleviation.

　　How many people are involved in poverty alleviation projects in China? No relevant data have been found. I think hundreds of millions of people are not an exaggeration.

I have seen many grassroots people’s difficult poverty alleviation deeds from the media, and I am very moved. Some have fallen on the road of poverty alleviation. They are the backbone of China. We must not forget them. We should set up a monument for them. At the same time, we also A digital museum for poverty eradication should be established, and a large number of historical facts, including pictures, videos, texts and other historical documents should be included in the digital museum, so as to pass this Chinese spirit to future generations.

　　[Explanation] In Ye Jianmin's view, in the past 2020, China has handed in qualified answers in front of the severe exams.

As a member of the China Economic and Social Council, he is also very concerned about Hong Kong's economic development.

He pointed out that every new policy and development progress of the country is an opportunity for Hong Kong.

　　In the past year, China took the lead in controlling the epidemic globally and taking the lead in restoring the economy. This has become a bright spot in the world, demonstrating the strong cohesion of the Chinese people and the ability of the Chinese government to govern under difficult circumstances.

China has achieved its first 100-year goal of alleviating poverty and building a moderately prosperous society on schedule. This has drawn a strong stroke in Chinese history and has also injected strong confidence in China's continued progress towards the goal.

(2020) In December last year, the value of Hong Kong's exports rose 11.7% year-on-year to 392.2 billion yuan, the largest increase since October 2018.

Therefore, with the momentum of the country’s recovery, Hong Kong’s economy will be able to turn around this year (2021).

　　[Explanation] 2021 is the first year of China's 14th Five-Year Plan.

Ye Jianming is very concerned about the in-depth development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area proposed in the "14th Five-Year Plan".

　　Due to an epidemic, obstacles to customs clearance between the two places have affected the most important "flow of people" among the four "flows" of people, materials, funds, and information.

This means that there are still many obstacles to overcome in the integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Institutional innovation should be carried out in terms of top-level design, reduction of differences in institutional mechanisms, and elimination of barriers to the flow of factors within the region.

The most important thing now is to pragmatically promote the integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

It also includes measures for Hong Kong youth to work in the Greater Bay Area.

　　[Explanation] Ye Jianming said that promoting the integration and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area cannot be achieved overnight. At present, some cities in the Greater Bay Area have recruited civil servants from Hong Kong youth. I believe such innovative measures will continue to be introduced in the future.
