When Hong Kong was facing a severe epidemic, Shenzhen prevented and controlled the local epidemic while actively ensuring the stability of supplies to Hong Kong. Many Hong Kong citizens were very moved. At the same time, many Hong Kong volunteers helped Shenzhen has contributed its own strength to the epidemic prevention. We and Shenzhen are a family separated by a strip of water." Ding Zhengkai said that it was also because of this kind of touch that he wrote an original song "One Heart Against Epidemic Shenzhen and Hong Kong" a few days ago. online.
He sang in the song: Listening to the story of spring on Lianhua Mountain, you can hear a new rhythm; the gurgling river under Wutong Mountain joins hands with the confluence of the Xiangjiang River, fighting the epidemic together, walking together in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and looking forward to the moment when the spring flowers bloom...
"In the difficult times, we have seen a Hong Kong full of unity, love, faith and dedication. Hong Kong is still a beautiful Hong Kong." Ding Zhengkai said in poetic language: "Lion Rock stands tall, Hong Kong will never fall, everything Everything will be fine!" (End)
