　　Xinhua News Agency reporters Chen Shu and Zhou Wenqi

　　On the 7th, the press conference hall of the Great Hall of the People.

Huo Qigang, a 43-year-old member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Hong Kong, did not leave the venue after answering the reporter's question, but sincerely hoped to say more.

　　"The epidemic situation in Hong Kong is very serious now, and the people of Hong Kong are very worried. I want to thank the central government, the people of the whole country, and especially the medical staff, staff and experts who went to Hong Kong. You gave us great efforts when we needed you most. For your support, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you here: Thank you!"

　　He then faces the camera, bending over and bowing.

　　This is a scene on the second "member channel" of the two sessions this year.

In a short period of time, the number of views of this video on the Weibo platform exceeded 100 million times.

"We are all compatriots and should help each other", "Unite as one and tide over difficulties together" "With the strong backing of the motherland, everything will be fine"... Many netizens responded with warm comments.

　　Shortly after speaking in the "member channel", Huo Qigang accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency.

　　"This bow, I wanted to bow a few years ago. Without the rescue of the state, I can't imagine what Hong Kong would be like now," he said.

　　Recalling the harm caused to Hong Kong by the "revision storm" in 2019, Fok Qigang is still heartbroken: "It was a chaotic and torn past, and everyone was very tense. I have lived in Hong Kong for so many years, never I've seen such a heart-wrenching scene."

　　At this critical moment, the central government acted in a timely manner: supporting Hong Kong in ending violence and chaos, promulgating a national security law for Hong Kong, and improving the SAR election system.

Hong Kong society has successfully achieved from chaos to governance, and moved towards prosperity from governance.

　　Fok Kaigang participated in the election of the seventh Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region held in December last year and was elected as a member of the sports, performing arts, culture and publishing sectors.

He said that after the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, Hong Kong society is stable, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the citizens feel at ease.

After the electoral system was improved, many people who were truly good for Hong Kong stood up and thought about the development of Hong Kong in a pragmatic manner. This is the luck of Hong Kong.

He said that the experience of the past few years has made more Hong Kong people realize from the bottom of their hearts that the country truly loves Hong Kong and is Hong Kong's strongest backing.

　　Right now, Hong Kong society is fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

Faced with the shortage of medical and living materials and the shortage of medical staff, the central government once again extended a helping hand in a timely manner to help Hong Kong citizens overcome the difficulties together.

Relevant central departments and localities also took active actions, donating money and materials one after another.

　　"I'm really touched. Hong Kong and the mainland are a family whose blood is thicker than water. Together, we will be able to overcome the epidemic," he said.

　　The other port representatives who are participating in the National Two Sessions here also expressed their gratitude to the country and the people of the mainland.

　　Kwong Mei-yun, deputy to the National People's Congress of Hong Kong, said that the support of the state has given Hong Kong the greatest strength and confidence, and that with unity, Hong Kong will surely overcome the epidemic.

　　Huang Jinhui, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Hong Kong, said that as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he will do his best to contact people from all walks of life, work together to support the SAR government, and fight the epidemic together.
