"Looking forward, a hopeful new year has arrived." Mai Meijuan said that this year is the Year of the Rabbit, and the year is Kuimao.
"Mao" means flourishing, symbolizing the luxuriant growth of all things.
Maoshi is also the time when the sun rises at dawn and the sun is rising, which means that the long night ravaged by political chaos and the new crown epidemic in the past has finally come to an end, and the dawn of dawn is ushering in.
As Hong Kong resumes orderly and comprehensive "customs clearance", economic and social activities further resume normal recovery, and Hong Kong in the new year will be full of renewal and vitality. "I wish Hong Kong society unity, harmony, prosperity and stability."
