He said that since the establishment of the Communist Party of China, each of us Chinese can feel that it is the Communist Party of China that has led the Chinese people to stand up, become rich and become strong.
I hope that Hong Kong, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, will work hard to make "one country, two systems" stable and far-reaching in Hong Kong. I believe Hong Kong will have a better tomorrow.
Li Xiguang, president of the Hong Kong branch of the China Development Bank who participated in the movie, said that the movie "1921" made him feel excited, and he also participated in the flag-raising ceremony held by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government this morning.
"On the centuries of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, I am very proud to be able to come to work in Hong Kong."

Through an exclusive interview with the anti-Japanese veterans Lin Zhen and Li Han, listen to them talk about this. This section of history textbook does not include the history of Dongjiang Column.
Ling Junjie, chairman of the Hong Kong Elite Club and general convenor of the "Mission" event, hopes that through the short film, Hong Kong people, especially young people, can have a deeper understanding of the history of Hong Kong and the country.
The past presidents of the Hong Kong Elite Club also shared their experiences at the meeting. They believed that the peace and stability of the country today are hard-won, and young people must undertake the mission to jointly build a history of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the next 100 years.
At sunset, returning to the waterfront of Hong Kong Island, the breeze was slow.
In a blink of an eye, night fell, and the lights on both sides of the Victoria Harbour came on one by one.
And Hong Kong’s blessings to the motherland are also particularly shining at this moment.
