China News Agency, Hong Kong, August 20 (Reporter Han Xingtong) The "14th Five-Year Plan" approved during the National Two Sessions this year has significantly increased the length of Hong Kong, and the development of Hong Kong youth has also attracted attention.

In a recent interview with a reporter from China News Agency, many youths in Hong Kong talked about integrating into the overall development of the country from the perspectives of art and education. They all believed that under the "14th Five-Year Plan", there is a lot of room for youths to play.

  It has been 24 years since the return of Hong Kong, and it has become increasingly closely linked with the country's development.

Since the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" plan included Hong Kong in the overall framework of national development, Hong Kong’s space has increased significantly in each subsequent five-year plan. The development of youth as the future masters of Hong Kong has received more attention, and Hong Kong’s youth have also received more attention. From this, we can see the way out for diversified development.

  The outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan" proposes to facilitate young people from Hong Kong and Macau to go to schools in the Greater Bay Area for employment and entrepreneurship.

On this point, Zhan Peixun, the chief chairman of the Hong Kong International Youth Maker Alliance and a member of the Youth Committee of the Chinese Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, has enough say.

"From my personal observations and experience, the state is resolute and considerate in helping Hong Kong youth integrate into cities in the Greater Bay Area."

  Zhan Peixun talked about studying separately from employment and entrepreneurship. In terms of school attendance, “Hong Kong’s rate of entering a higher education has always been low, while the mainland’s economy has risen, and universities’ world rankings have steadily improved, and policy preferences have always been given to Hong Kong students.” He believes that for Hong Kong youths , The best time to study in the Mainland is now.

  As for employment and entrepreneurship, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Guangdong Provincial Government have introduced a number of preferential policies, including the "Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Plan" that has been launched. Once the plan is launched, the response has been overwhelming. According to information documents on the official website of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, On June 30, the "Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Program" had 377 companies offering 2,887 job vacancies.

The Labour Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government estimates based on surveys that the overall number of job applications for the program should exceed 18,000.

  Zhan Peixun’s entrepreneurial project is driverless, and there are many friends around him who use Hong Kong’s original food brands and mobile competitive games to start businesses in cities in the Greater Bay Area, and they have adapted well. Similar and convenient life.” He believes that the Greater Bay Area is a "precious land for entrepreneurship" with a hundred flowers blooming, with fertile soil for the youth of Hong Kong to grow.

  Xie Xiaohong, deputy director of Minghui Think Tank and member of the National Hong Kong and Macao Research Association, provided new ideas for the development of Hong Kong youth from the perspective of culture and art.

Xie Xiaohong saw opportunities in supporting Hong Kong's development of Sino-foreign cultural and artistic exchange centers mentioned in the "14th Five-Year Plan" outline.

The West Kowloon Cultural District is gradually being completed, and the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the M+ Visual Culture Museum are both about to be completed. This provides a valuable platform for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. At the same time, it is also a period when a large number of high-quality cultural administrative management talents are needed.

  Hong Kong society experienced the turmoil in 2019, which inevitably exposed the young generation's ignorance of national conditions.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" outline clearly points out that education on the Constitution and Hong Kong Basic Law and national conditions should be strengthened, and the national consciousness and patriotism of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots should be strengthened.

Liang Yinxin, a member of the Creative Intelligence Review Committee of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the project manager of Minghui Think Tank, believes that it is very necessary.

  She talked about taking a team of students from the University of Hong Kong to the Greater Bay Area for the first time many years ago, explaining to them the national infrastructure, technological development, etc. The students listened and remembered. One of the students’ random feelings impressed Liang Yinxin: "Seeing the vastness The bridge falls in the sea. The scale of the project connecting Hong Kong with Zhuhai and Macau can only be experienced by experiencing the scene.” Liang Yinxin was very touched. She believes that education on national conditions is inseparable from practice, and there are really more young people in Hong Kong. Only by walking and seeing more can you have a new vision to discover the rapid development of the country, as well as your own role and opportunities in this.
