He Qile, a Shenzhen-Hong Kong cross-border primary school student living near the Man Kam To Port in Shenzhen, is studying at Fung Kai No. 1 Primary School in Yuen Long, Hong Kong.

After three years, he and a group of cross-border students returned to the school in Hong Kong to participate in class face-to-face lectures.

To this end, the school specially made special arrangements for teaching activities to allow them to adapt to campus life as soon as possible.

The so-called Shenzhen-Hong Kong cross-border students refer to the group of students who have permanent resident status in Hong Kong, study in Hong Kong schools on weekdays but live and live in Shenzhen, and need to travel between the two places.

At the beginning of 2020, with the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the "customs clearance" between the two places was blocked. Cross-border students had to bid farewell to the campus and classroom in Hong Kong and study online instead.

According to statistics, there are about 27,000 students currently studying in kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools in Hong Kong but living in the Mainland.

With the full resumption of "customs clearance" between Hong Kong and the mainland, Hong Kong has resumed orderly from the beginning of February for Shenzhen-Hong Kong cross-border students to travel from the mainland to Hong Kong schools every day, gradually returning to normal study and life.

The Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is speeding up work arrangements to resume cross-boundary school bus pick-up and "free landing" clearance for cross-boundary primary and kindergarten students as soon as possible, so as to facilitate cross-boundary students to study in Hong Kong.
