China News Service, Suzhou, August 1 (Reporter Zhong Sheng) "My Pride", "Love Is Eternal", "Red Sun"... On the evening of July 31, the melodious sound of the violin reverberated on the shore of Taihu Lake. Classic pop music accompanies the flow of notes.

That night, the famous Hong Kong violinist Yao Jue's solo concert was held in Suzhou, Jiangsu.

　　To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return, Jiangsu Province held a series of celebrations. In mid-July, the "Meet Hong Kong·Hong Kong Classic Movie Screening" event was held in Suzhou, and 15 Hong Kong movies of love, martial arts, comedy, action and other genres were shown in turn. .

Supported by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Shanghai (SHETO), famous Hong Kong violinist Yao Jue held a large-scale tour in the Mainland in July and November, with Suzhou as one of the stops.

　　Yao Jue recalled that in 1997, she participated in the celebration performance of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and expressed the joy of a wanderer returning home with a song "Summer Night" full of homesickness.

"The sense of national pride and historical glory that arose in my heart at that time will be unforgettable in my life." She looks forward to the continuous and vigorous development of cultural exchanges between Jiangsu and Hong Kong.

　　Cai Liang, director of the Hong Kong Office in Shanghai, said that this year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, which is very meaningful for both mainland and Hong Kong residents.

This solo concert by Yao Jue is the first live performance by a Hong Kong artist in East China since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, which is very rare.

She is very honored to invite and support Yao Jue for this performance.

　　Cai Liang said that the Hong Kong SAR government has always spared no effort in cultural development.

With the opening of the Hong Kong Palace Museum in June this year, together with the West Kowloon Xiqu Centre and the M+ Museum, Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District has gathered many cultural landmarks.

While these cultural landmarks will add style to the Victoria Harbour Metropolitan Area, they will also enhance Hong Kong youth's understanding of Chinese culture through different types of activities, thereby enhancing their centripetal force.
