　　The 2024 Government Work Report clearly states that we will support Hong Kong and Macao in developing their economy, improving people's livelihood, actively participating in the construction of the Greater Bay Area, and better integrating into the overall development of the country.

　　Before the two sessions, Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, went to Hong Kong for inspection and research, affirmed the work of the SAR government and cheered for Hong Kong.

　　During this period, the central government continued to send out "big gift packages" to benefit Hong Kong, which effectively boosted the confidence of Hong Kong's tourism industry and related industries.

　　Since the beginning of this year, a series of data and policy signals have given people confidence and expectations in Hong Kong’s economic prospects after the epidemic.

　　During the Spring Festival Golden Week that just passed, the average daily number of mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong reached 157,000, which was 15% higher than the National Day holiday in 2023 and exceeded the level of the same period in 2018.

　　In 2023, the investment amount of overseas and mainland enterprises establishing or expanding business in Hong Kong through Invest Hong Kong will exceed HK$61.6 billion, approximately three times that of 2022.

Hong Kong’s population has exceeded 7.5 million.

　　The Pearl of the Orient remains charming.

　　The SAR government predicts that Hong Kong's economy will expand further in 2024, with full-year real growth ranging from 2.5% to 3.5%.

　　Let’s look at the rapidly changing Greater Bay Area.

It has gradually become a daily routine for young people in Hong Kong to "go north" for consumption and entrepreneurship, and to "start a business in Shenzhen and live in Hong Kong".

　　As a "super connector" connecting the mainland and the world and one of the leading cities in the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong relies on the motherland, seizes opportunities, strives for the economy and benefits people's livelihood, so there is no need to worry about its future.

　　"Every industry is prosperous in the Year of the Dragon, and China is strong in the prosperous times."

After five years, fireworks bloomed again in Victoria Harbor, and New Year's events such as the International Float Parade and "Horse Racing Day" took turns.

　　Cultural prosperity, peaceful living and contentment, and the development dividends brought by governance and prosperity will inject more vitality and momentum into Hong Kong.

　　Spring is getting stronger and the redbud flowers are about to bloom.

As the song goes: blossom with love, live in the same family, embrace each other in rain or shine, and pursue dreams together.
