[Explanation] On March 20th, when Huo Qigang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Hong Kong Sports Association and Olympic Committee of China, attended the award ceremony of the 6th "Bauhinia Cup" Cross-Strait and Hong Kong and Macau Youth Painting and Calligraphy Competition, he said that the art of painting and calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture. It is also an important way to understand Chinese history, culture and customs.
It is believed that Hong Kong youth can not only learn about the motherland through this, but also shoulder the responsibility of inheriting and promoting Chinese culture in the future.

We know that Chinese culture is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. Young people in Hong Kong must know the country better and strengthen their centripetal force. I think the culture and art of calligraphy and painting is a very important way. Just now this friend also shared it. She also learned a lot through calligraphy. East and West, will know the history, customs and cultural development of the motherland.
In this process, we have to shoulder the task of inheriting and promoting Chinese culture, and use their methods to explore and create the beauty and beauty of the motherland.

I also just came back from Beijing to participate in the two sessions. What I am most delighted to see is that the positioning of Hong Kong has been added above. It is to become a center for cultural and artistic exchanges between China and foreign countries. I think this is also the country’s recognition and recognition of Hong Kong’s cultural work. Expectations are also the historical responsibility that Hong Kong should shoulder.
