Hong Kong Youths Evoke The Glory Of The Dragon
On The 15th Anniversary
Of China-Hong Kong Reunification

On June 30, young people from all walks of life braved inclement weather to take part in the 15th Reunification Anniversary Hong Kong Youth Alliance Gala. With The Glory of the Dragon as its theme, the gala is a celebration on a grand scale of young people’s wish for Hong Kong’s and China’s continued, shared prosperity. Mr. Kit Szeto, Director & CEO of Dim Sum TV, was at the event.

The Glory of the Dragon gala was organized by the Committee of the Hong Kong Youth Alliance. Officiating at the opening ceremony was Mr. Wang Zhimin, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government, with Mr. Tsang Tak Sing, Secretary for Home Affairs, and Mr. Tsang Chi Hung, Executive Chairman of the Committee, joining the festivities along with all the young people at the event.

In his welcome speech, Mr. Tsang Chi Hung pointed out that the motherland’s achievements and progress in recent years should be a source of pride and joy for the younger generation. He hoped that, a decade and a half after reunification, Hong Kong and China can continue to go from strength to strength together.

For the day’s entertainment, a cast of over 1,000 young performers from 7 organizations was assembled. The varied and colorful program included the Yuen Long Merchants Association Secondary School marching band giving a rousing rendition of the event’s theme song, Believe In Our Dream, parade drills by youth corps from Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia, a special dance performance by Dreams Set Sail, martial arts and taekwondo demonstrations by the Hong Kong Chido Association. The rain did little to dampen the spirits of the performers, who made a splash by waving flags and churning the water on the ground into a frenzied aquatic spectacle, drawing long and excited applause from the audience.
