Huo Qigang, deputy to the National People's Congress of Hong Kong and chairman of the Hong Kong Arts Development Bureau, said in Beijing on the 5th that the cooperation of cultural and artistic talents is very important for Hong Kong to implement the positioning of the Sino-foreign cultural and artistic exchange center. He suggested that the reserve of cultural and artistic talents in Hong Kong should be increased to promote the exchange and connection between Hong Kong and the mainland in the cultural and artistic fields. Huo Qigang's trip to the National People's Congress included proposals and proposals to strengthen the cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong in fisheries, optimize the management system of social organizations, optimize the visa-free policy for overseas tourists, propose the establishment of the Hong Kong branch of the China Sports Arbitration Commission, and increase the reserve of cultural and artistic talents in Hong Kong. In the relevant proposal to increase the reserve of cultural and artistic talents in Hong Kong, Huo Qigang said that the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" clearly proposed to support the development of Hong Kong as a Sino-foreign cultural and artistic exchange center, which is an affirmation of the status and achievements of Hong Kong's culture and art, and also injected new impetus into the development of Hong Kong's cultural undertakings. Talents are the key factor in the development of cultural industries and undertakings. He believes that the allocation of cultural and artistic talents is very important for Hong Kong to implement the positioning of the Sino-foreign cultural and artistic exchange center. In recent years, Hong Kong has a real demand for cultural and artistic talents, especially middle-level or entry-level practitioners, such as performers, venue management, curators and art administrators. The lack of curriculum and practice opportunities in the field of antiquities restoration in Hong Kong also leads to a serious shortage of talent reserves in related fields. Huo Qigang said that in order to solve the above problems, it is suggested to make full use of the resources of the mainland and the open conditions for the construction of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, to carry out exchanges and cooperation, and further promote the development of cultural and artistic talents in Hong Kong. The specific measures include: increasing the number of exchanges and practice places in the cultural and artistic industry in the mainland, and cultivating young literary and artistic talents; Promote the opening of cultural and art-related jobs in all provinces for young people in Hong Kong to apply; Make good use of the cultural venues in the mainland and relax the resident performance of Hong Kong art troupes or artists. Huo Qigang also hopes that in the process of promoting the exchange and connection between Hong Kong and the mainland in the field of culture and art, Hong Kong youth can play their role, find a sense of gain and achieve upward mobility.
