[100th Anniversary of the Communist Party of China] Former Hong Kong Affairs Adviser Shi Xuehui: One Hundred Songs "Wang Jiangnan" Looking Back to the Road of One Hundred Years
[Explanation] Shi Xuegui, whose ancestral home is in Jinjiang, Fujian, is a well-known patriotic entrepreneur in Hong Kong. He has special emotions for the country and Hong Kong.
He has made great achievements in the creation of ancient poems. On the eve of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, he chose to fill in 100 poems from the ancient poem "Wang Jiangnan" to express his patriotic feelings.
[Explanation] A few days ago, Shi Xuegui, former Hong Kong affairs consultant and director of the China Overseas Friendship Association, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency that his patriotism originated from the influence of the school owner, Mr. Tan Kah Kee, when he was a student. He was taught by Tan Kah Kee. With ears and eyes, he gradually planted the seeds of patriotism in his heart.

Looking back when I was 14 years old, I went from the countryside to Jimei Middle School in Xiamen to study in junior high. At that time, I was fortunate enough to talk to our schoolmaster, Mr. Tan Kah Kee, who had just returned home from Beijing due to retirement.
At that time, every action and speech of the old man was to educate us middle school students who were only teenagers from the theme of loving the country and making more contributions to the country. Since then, I have been greatly influenced and infected.
So there was the bud of patriotism since childhood.
[Explanation] Shi Xuegui told reporters that Hong Kong’s illegal "Occupy Central" in 2014 and the "dark violence" in 2019 have caused unrest and turmoil in Hong Kong society.
Hong Kong should now work harder to realize "patriots ruling Hong Kong". Only then will Hong Kong be more stable, the life of the people of Hong Kong will be happier, and the youth of Hong Kong will have a better path.

Our country has done a lot of work now, and the Greater Bay Area has given Hong Kong’s young people more enthusiasm. This is of course part of it, but we must really start with educating the youth to correct their mentality and correct the mentality of (Hong Kong) youths. There is a better way.
[Explanation] Shi Xueguan believes that Hong Kong society, especially Hong Kong youth, should objectively recognize the Chinese Communist Party, because without the Chinese Communist Party, there would be no rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and there would be no "one country, two systems".
He tried to use poetry creation to help citizens understand the Chinese Communist Party.

This time, the information is relatively rich, because the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China has basically followed the creative line of the Communist Party of China from its establishment. The Communist Party has led the Chinese people in all aspects from its establishment to the Zunyi Conference, to the Long March, and to the Communist Party. Build a new socialist China.
This entire (historical) line serves as a red line of my creation.
[Explanation] "The people are good, the happiness of each other is good. All generations of Hongji will sing together, and the ages will be in the same period. The nectar will be the same." Shi Xuegui said that he has greater expectations of the Communist Party of China, and this expectation is placed here. In the 100th song "Wang Jiangnan".
