A card design and essay competition joined the hearts of mainland and Hong Kong students in an expression of affection for the motherland.
The Sincerity Card Design and Essay Competition was open to all primary and secondary students and was organised by the Welcome Back to Our Motherland Committee 97.
It aimed to facilitate academic exchange between mainland and Hong Kong students and to deepen their understanding of their history.
The presentation ceremony was staged at the Hong Kong Convention Centre, which was attended by more than 20 mainland students and Zhang Junsheng , the vice-director of Xinhua (the New China News Agency).
The theme of the competition was: We love our country, we love Hong Kong.
President of the committee Fan Kam-ping said the competition helped local youth understand the true meaning of the handover and strengthen ties between mainland and Hong Kong students.
