The Hong Kong Compatriots’ celebration of the founding of the Preparatory Committee Two nights of delightful National Day celebration

The Preparatory Committee of Hong Kong Compatriots’ celebration of the 69th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China (referred to as "the Preparatory Committee") was launched in the afternoon of July 16 at the auditorium of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong, with 700 participants from 20 different sectors invited to become the Members of the Preparatory Committee.

Chaired by the Executive Chairman Tung Chee-hwa, nearly 100 members of the Preparatory Committee attended the ceremony of the founding of the Preparatory Committee. The meeting confirmed this year’s title of the Preparatory Committee as "The Preparatory Committee of Hong Kong Compatriots in celebration of the 69th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China”, and approved the candidates list of the Honorary Chairman, Chairman, the Consultants, members and vice chairman of various sub divisions.

Mr. Huang Lanfa, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office, reviewed the achievements of the country and Hong Kong in the past year. He hopes that Hong Kong will be able to grasp the emerging opportunities of the new reform; the economic transformation and advancement of Guangdong- Hong Kong- Macao Bay Area; the implementation of an innovation-driven development strategy of the country and the transformation of Hong Kong into an international innovation center. Moving along these three transformational interchanges, Hong Kong can realize prosperity and growth along with the country.

The Preparatory Committee will present two performances at the Hong Kong Coliseum this year to celebrate the National Day, including “The 69th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China art and cultural evening” on October 1 (Monday) and “The 69th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China Youth Concert" on October 2 (Tuesday).

With the theme of "Greeting the time of Prosperity" threading through a variety of artistic performances, the first evening will present music, dance, and singing to express the joy of the country’s success, and bring new hope and motivation to the audience. The second National Day Youth Concert will reflect a chic and youthful vibe in celebration with the youth.

Besides watching the two performances live at the Coliseum, they will be broadcasted on Hong Kong and foreign television stations, radio and streaming websites. Dim Sum TV will be involved in the broadcast of these two performances to share the joy of the National Day with the Hong Kong audience.
