　　There are great changes in one year.

A better moment is coming.

Although there is such a good opportunity, we must not be too proud, because there is too much work to be done.

We have always experienced a lot of difficulties, but the difficulties now are not so difficult, because of what?

Because we are getting stronger.

We can do better.

Our country will do better and better.

　　[Explanation] Liang Zhenying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and general convener of the Hong Kong Restart Alliance, pointed out that if the country is developing rapidly, Hong Kong must take advantage of its advantages and actively integrate into the overall situation of the country's development.

　　Against these backgrounds, the Grand Alliance is about to start its second year of work, focusing on being more proactive and promoting Hong Kong’s integration into the overall development of the country, including concentrating efforts to promote cooperation between Hong Kong and mainland provinces and cities, and making good use of the development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area. Through the cooperation between Hong Kong and the Mainland, we will realize our ideals for all sectors of Hong Kong society and transform our efforts into the greatest and best results.

　　Last year (2020), at the beginning of the epidemic, masks on the market in Hong Kong were severely out of stock. We were anxious to the public’s urgency and tried every means to find some anti-epidemic materials. Of citizens and school students distributed more than 10 million masks.

Under the epidemic, Hong Kong's economy has been severely hit. We have also established "economic stimulus groups". On the one hand, we call on all employers to promise not to lay off employees and to tide over the difficulties with the public.

In addition, in view of the employment difficulties of recent graduates, the major alliance has also established a "Working Group to Assist Fresh Graduates in Employment."

We called on some of our co-sponsor's companies to provide job vacancies. At that time, we found 3,000 job vacancies.

In order to get the rule of law in Hong Kong back on track, we have gathered a group of professionals in the legal profession, set up a rule of law education team, produced suitable teaching materials for primary and secondary schools, and promoted the Basic Law and National Security Law to all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong.

　　[Commentary] Tan Yaozong introduced that there are five key points for the future development of the Major League.

　　First, we will continue to promote "one country, two systems" and adhere to "one country, two systems". When Hong Kong starts again, we will hold a series of forums.

Second, it will promote Hong Kong to accelerate its integration into the overall development of the country and implement the plan to depart from the Greater Bay Area.

Third, it will support the development of youth education, through the rule of law education, hoping to (bring it) into the campus, and will also organize youths to return to the mainland for exchanges and internships to "off-job."

The fourth is to actively tell the "Hong Kong Story".

Fifth, we will strengthen the self-construction of the big alliance, and we will start the arrangement of additional co-sponsors in due course.

　　[Commentary] Tan Yaozong said that in the future, the Grand Alliance hopes to take the lead and cooperate with various organizations and groups in Hong Kong to jointly promote Hong Kong and promote the positive image of Hong Kong to the Mainland.
