The 2024 Hong Kong Youth Mainland Exchange Team for Creating a Future Visits and Exchanges in Shanghai. During the 4-day and 3-night visit event, nearly 150 Hong Kong youth experienced the great achievements of modernization in mainland China from different fields and perspectives, enhancing their understanding of national conditions and the latest developments in the country. From Shanghai Pudong Exhibition Hall to Shanghai Jiaotong University, from the Bund, Chenghuang Temple to Disney Town, Hong Kong youth said that this was a very unforgettable experience. They deeply explored the diverse charm of Shanghai. Each place contains Shanghai's unique culture and historical heritage, providing them with rich experience and learning opportunities. Especially the "Be a Shanghai Person" activity allows them to enter Shanghai families, experience the daily life of Shanghai people, experience the charm of Shanghai's local culture through interactive communication, and deepen mutual understanding and friendship. Hong Kong youth Liang Junyi came to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to study in 2018 and is now starting a business in Shanghai. Liang Junyi said, "Many Hong Kong students are very interested in starting a business in Shanghai during my university years. I will share with them the various preferential policies and vast entrepreneurial space that Shanghai offers to young people from Hong Kong and Macao, so that students can further feel the charm of Shanghai as an international metropolis and be more determined in their desire to enter mainland universities and develop in the mainland." Hong Kong student Pan said that he had visited Shanghai five years ago. "Stepping into this land again, I deeply feel the tremendous changes. Many infrastructure are being updated rapidly, and new equipment and buildings are emerging one after another, which has made me deeply appreciate the vitality and speed of development in the mainland. I am very interested in the policy for Hong Kong and Macao students to enroll in the mainland. The mainland has abundant resources, and I will also encourage my classmates to seize the opportunity and come to the mainland to enrich their life experiences." Hong Kong student Lin said, hoping to have more opportunities to have in-depth exchanges with Shanghai people and gain a deeper understanding of Shanghai style culture. "This event gave me the opportunity to have face-to-face contact with mainland students, feel their enthusiasm and vitality, and also made me look forward to more exchanges and cooperation with mainland China in the future, and contribute to the development of Shanghai Hong Kong Unicom. It is reported that the" Creating the Future Together · Hong Kong Youth Mainland Exchange Plan "is a youth exchange brand activity launched by the Bauda San Foundation in 2016. So far, I have led about 400 Hong Kong university students to visit, exchange, and learn in Shanghai, Zhejiang, and other places. In 2023, it was included in the" Hong Kong and Macao Youth Look at the Motherland "series of activities.". Bao Hongxun, Chairman of the Baoda San Foundation, stated that the original intention of the event was to enable young Hong Kong students to have a better understanding of Shanghai's life, culture, and national history, and to integrate into national development. "I think this two-way communication is very meaningful, and we will organize more Hong Kong youth to visit the mainland in the future." (Xinhua News Agency)
