【During the same period】Chinese musician Hong Kong's "cultural promotion ambassador" Tan Dun
To promote Hong Kong's achievements, we need to hear Hong Kong's creative voices in every corner of the world, such as the emphasis on science and technology, the importance of the future, and the importance of learning and protecting traditional culture.
Recently, the internationally famous Chinese musician Tan Dun came to the Hong Kong Cultural Center to share with reporters his indissoluble bond with the city of Hong Kong. In January this year, Tam Dun was appointed as Hong Kong's "Cultural Promotion Ambassador", dedicated to planning large-scale art projects in Hong Kong and promoting international cultural exchanges and cooperation. He said that Hong Kong is not only a city with cultural heritage and artistic atmosphere, but also a city full of memories of his youth, and he is very happy to promote Hong Kong to the world.

This place in the cultural center, I once ran into this place (in) 30 years ago, and I got married in this building within two minutes with my girlfriend, so I always felt that I have a deep relationship with Hong Kong since then. Being a "cultural ambassador" for Hong Kong is also a job that I am happy to do. Hong Kong has the essence of both Eastern and Western cultures, and many people in Hong Kong are in Hong Kong in Chinese literature, sinology, and poetics, and I think Hong Kong is indeed a unique cultural base. Let people from anywhere in the world know more about Hong Kong, which is what I think we can start with every day, at least I can tell all my friends, whether he is the royalty of Abu Dhabi, or the folk artist on the streets of New York, or the villagers of Africa, or the pioneers of ancient culture in the village of Darwin (Australia), I tell them that I like Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a pearl of China, and Hong Kong is also a pearl of the world.
【Commentary】Less than 3 months after taking office, Tan Dun has personally practiced the mission of cultural ambassador. In addition, he will also go to many European countries with young musicians to participate in local art festivals, so that more young Hong Kong people can show their talents on the international stage.

I just went to Guizhou with Hong Kong performing artists, and then I will take them to Xi'an to talk to the Terracotta Army, a traditional Chinese culture in Qinling, and then take them to Nüshu (Culture) Village during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Inviting young artists and musicians from Hong Kong to open the Edinburgh Festival, the Dutch Festival Amsterdam, and then the Rome Festival allows young artists and musicians in Hong Kong to talk to audiences around the world (love) music and art on that platform, talk about Hong Kong and celebrate Hong Kong.
In Tan Dun's view, Hong Kong is an international metropolis where East meets West and blends cultures, and he will hold a series of art and cultural activities at the end of the year to promote Hong Kong pop culture and let Hong Kong, as a platform and window connecting East and West, play a greater role.

This year, we also think that at the end of the year, we may do "Bach rock", and will make his music into rock, combined with the most original rock music in China. In addition, we are also wondering if we are combining Yang Liping's (created) Yunnan's "The Rite of Spring" with us in Hong Kong, and at the same time, we are also thinking, what step has the creation of artificial intelligence in the world been? What is Frontier of Artistic Exploration concerned about? I am a "cultural ambassador" myself, and I feel that I also have a relationship with this city and am willing to do something for it. Introducing Hong Kong can not only introduce China's multifaceted prosperity, but also attract some very exciting feedback from the world.
