With the deployment and commissioning of various medical equipment to prepare for the protection of more lives, the project will effectively enhance Hong Kong's ability to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

  For a period of time, in the face of the super-transmissible Omicron strain, the number of new cases in Hong Kong has risen sharply, and the situation was once extremely severe.

At the critical moment, at the request of the Hong Kong SAR government, the central government fully supports it, and the Hong Kong SAR government assumes the main responsibility to jointly start the epidemic prevention and control war.

From the mainland expert group and medical staff to Hong Kong quickly, to the nucleic acid testing team assembled in Hong Kong; from the launch of the Fire Eye Laboratory, mobile testing vehicles, rapid testing kits, etc., to the completion of 6 makeshift hospitals in less than a month, an increase of about 2 10,000 beds; from opening up water supply routes to innovating the opening of railways to aid Hong Kong... The central government's assistance to Hong Kong to fight the epidemic conforms to the mainstream public opinion in Hong Kong society and reflects the original intention of "one country, two systems".

  The anti-epidemic work in Hong Kong has been carried out with the fastest speed, the strongest intensity, and the largest coverage, which has effectively boosted the determination and confidence of Hong Kong citizens to fight and defeat the epidemic.

Actual actions, touching stories one by one, fully reflect the blood-connected relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong, fully reflect the care of the central government, and fully demonstrate the significant advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.

  Aid in construction and witness the concept and responsibility of people first and life first.

Some people call emergency hospitals and makeshift hospitals the "boats of life".

At the construction site of the first phase of the Hong Kong emergency hospital project aided by the central government, more than 20,000 builders from all over the world faced extremely difficult conditions, racing against time and doing their best to anchor the goal of building 500-bed negative pressure wards in 30 days. The engineering problem of "building a house on tofu".

What supports them in overcoming difficulties and selfless dedication is their firm will to listen to the call of the party, their simple feelings of patriotism, and their deep friendship with Hong Kong compatriots to tide over the difficulties.

  At the handover ceremony of the community isolation facility in Yuen Long, the sentimental slogans were touching - "Central aids Hong Kong to fight the epidemic", "Time is life, race against time to fight the epidemic", "You and I stand together under the Lion Rock"; the background next to the square cabin The photos of the construction participants on the board freeze the silently dedicated figures—some sweating like rain, some with the scorching sun above their heads, and some wearing stars and moons.

Faster, faster, behind the eye-catching Chinese speed, the sweat and hard work of the vast number of builders are condensed.

  "Things have ups and downs, and those who have tasted them know; there are dangers and dangers, and those who have followed them know." Fighting the epidemic together and overcoming difficulties together have gathered the determination and confidence to stabilize and control the epidemic, and have also forged a stronger centripetal force.

A survey released by the Hong Kong Bauhinia Research Institute showed that more than 85% of the citizens agreed with the central expert group's goal of "reducing deaths, reducing severe illness, and reducing infections", and more than 80% of the citizens had increased their confidence in fighting the epidemic because of the central government's support.

  Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong, and the destiny of Hong Kong has always been closely linked with the motherland.

Not only in dealing with the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the motherland will always be Hong Kong's greatest confidence and confidence, and it is Hong Kong's firm backer and strong backing to overcome any risks and difficulties.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

History and reality have fully proved that "Hong Kong is good, the country is good; the country is good, Hong Kong is better".

Hong Kong and the mainland share the same destiny, side by side, heart-to-heart, bringing together the majestic strength of all people, sharing weal and woe, and we can write a new chapter in the era of unity is strength.

  "Who doesn't love Hong Kong? We can only fight the epidemic together." The song "Under the Lion Rock to Fight the Epidemic" sings the consensus of Hong Kong citizens in fighting the epidemic: love and unity.

Making Hong Kong a better tomorrow is the aspiration of every person who loves Hong Kong and the country.

The heart-to-heart connection between Hong Kong and the mainland will surely build a solid and healthy barrier to fight the epidemic, and will surely provide a solid guarantee for the steady and long-term implementation of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong.
