"Participation in the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is very important for Hong Kong's development. At the same time, the mainland can also go to the world through Hong Kong. Two-way exchanges are very necessary and can promote a win-win situation, but the top priority is to control the new crown epidemic."
Cai Yi, deputy to the National People's Congress of Hong Kong and chairman of the Hong Kong Island Federation of All Circles, said in a video interview with a reporter from China News Agency in Beijing on the 5th that he hopes to be a bridge between Hong Kong and the mainland.
Mainland's support to increase Hong Kong people's anti-epidemic confidence is most beneficial to "dynamic reset"
At present, Hong Kong is facing severe challenges from the epidemic, and fighting the epidemic is a topic of general concern for the Hong Kong NPC deputies who came to Beijing to attend the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress.
Cai Yi said that the mainland arranges medical staff and anti-epidemic materials in a timely manner to support Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic, increasing the confidence of Hong Kong people to overcome the epidemic.
Regarding some people's different views on the "dynamic clearing" policy, he said that this policy can best protect the life and health of the general public, and all sectors of society should work together.
The epidemic has also caused a significant decrease in tourists visiting Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's traditional retail and service industries have also been hit.
"Controlling the epidemic as soon as possible is the overriding priority at present," Cai Yi said, believing that after the epidemic, with the support of the central government, exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland will gradually resume, and there will be better development.
Hong Kong is developing in a better direction. Young people need to enhance national awareness
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Cai Yi said that in general, the practice of "one country, two systems" is a success and has also received support from the majority of Hong Kong citizens.
He also pointed out that due to the influence of past British colonial rule and the interference and infiltration of Western anti-China forces, the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong will inevitably encounter some challenges.
Cai Yi said that after the formulation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the improvement of Hong Kong's electoral system, the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" has been implemented, and Hong Kong has changed from chaos to governance, and is developing in the direction of good governance and good governance.
He pointed out that many young people in Hong Kong have never been to the mainland. Before the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, some media in Hong Kong, under the influence of anti-China and anti-China forces and Western anti-China forces, spread a lot of distorted information, and many young people in Hong Kong were affected. .
Cai Yi called on Hong Kong young people to study, work, start a business or travel in the mainland to increase their understanding of the mainland and enhance their national awareness.
The National People's Congress has a major mission, and the mainland has experience that Hong Kong can learn from
For a long time, Cai Yi often travels between Hong Kong and the Mainland, and donates to school in Quanzhou, Fujian and other places, and cares about the development of education in the Mainland.
In addition to Hong Kong-related issues, he also paid attention to policies such as the birth of three children in the Mainland, and suggested that kindergarten education should be included in compulsory education.
Before the outbreak, deputies to the National People's Congress in Hong Kong would visit different cities in the mainland for investigation and research every year.
In the past ten years as a deputy to the National People's Congress, Cai Yi has seen "a thousand miles of change" in the mainland.
He believes that the mainland has made great achievements in infrastructure construction, technological development, care for the people and services, and some experiences can also be used for Hong Kong to learn from.
During his research, he constantly found cooperation opportunities between Hong Kong and the Mainland.
For example, there are many talents and projects in the development of high-tech in the Mainland, and Hong Kong can provide financial support.
At the same time, Hong Kong's business platform can help mainland products go to the rest of the world.
"Deputies to the National People's Congress have a great mission." Cai Yi often made suggestions on issues related to Hong Kong and the mainland when he attended the meeting, and he was often interviewed by the media, or published articles on the media to point out the current shortcomings.
"Hong Kong society expects us to do more and more things, and the central government also highly cares and supports the work of deputies to the National People's Congress." Cai Yi said.
