The touring exhibition celebrating the 60th anniversary of the supply of Dongjiang water to Hong Kong with the theme of "Connecting One Thread to Drink Water and Remembering Its Source" kicked off on the 16th at over 100 locations in 18 districts of Hong Kong, attracting about 50000 citizens to participate on the day of the event. The exhibition further deepens the understanding of Hong Kong citizens, especially young people, about the supply of Dongjiang water to Hong Kong through exhibition boards, educational leaflets, on-site sharing, and interactive Q&A. It encourages the younger generation to have a deeper understanding of the history and operation of the Dongjiang water supply project, and strengthens their awareness of water conservation and environmental protection. Li Huiqiong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and the leader of the Hong Kong Patriotic Education Working Group, who attended the event, said that through the commemoration activities, young people can enhance their understanding of the history of Dongjiang River water supply to Hong Kong, and deeply realize that the country has been giving Hong Kong great support at all times. At the same time, we also hope that the younger generation will cherish and pay more attention to the utilization and protection of water resources. Liang Hongzheng, Deputy Secretary for Home Affairs and Youth Affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, stated that this event is not only one of the series of activities celebrating the 60th anniversary of the supply of Dongjiang water to Hong Kong, but also a partner event of Hong Kong Youth Day. The SAR government has organized a series of activities around this theme this year, sponsoring multiple mainland exchange delegations and providing over 2000 spots for young people to conduct on-site inspections along the Dongjiang River. Wan Chai Youth Federation Chairman Soong Chi ling organized young people to participate in a prize winning Q&A session on Dongjiang water knowledge at the scene. She stated that the enthusiasm of citizens for participation is high, and the activities not only popularize knowledge about Dongjiang water, but also make citizens deeply feel the care of the motherland. Li Xueping, Chairman of the Hong Kong Central and Western District Youth Association, said that the older generation of Hong Kong people who have experienced water scarcity have a deep understanding of the significance of Dongjiang water. Without the support of the country, Hong Kong's development today would not have been possible. It is reported that the 60th anniversary series of youth activities for the supply of Dongjiang water to Hong Kong also includes the theme activities of "Tracing the Origins of Dongjiang River and Traveling Through Small Things", the "Knowledge of Dongjiang Water" online knowledge competition for young people in Hong Kong, and theme sharing sessions, aiming to deepen the understanding of Dongjiang water supply to Hong Kong among Hong Kong citizens, especially young people, and cultivate patriotism. This series of activities is organized by the Hong Kong All China Youth Federation Committee and the Hong Kong Youth Activities Committee, and is supported and guided by the Development Bureau, Education Bureau, Home Affairs and Youth Affairs Bureau, and the Youth Work Department of the Liaison Office of the Central Government in Hong Kong.
