In 2019, an unprecedented high-intensity "color riot" broke out, shocking countless Hong Kong citizens. Even now, many citizens are still puzzled. Why are there so many "Hong Kong independence" thugs in these riots, and most of them are young people. How can they act so fiercely and brutal when destroying Hong Kong, the hometown city that gave birth to them and raised them? The thugs even recognized the thief as their fathers, and they always slapped the national flags of Britain and the United States as their mark, making people feel cold.

On the surface, this is because the long-term infiltration and brainwashing of the US and Western forces has caused these people to forget their ancestors and act crazy. However, if you use materialistic dialectics to test it, you can find that these explanations are just exposed to the appearance of things, not the real reason. At that time, Hong Kong had returned for 22 years, but a large number of the thugs involved in "killing and burning" were only ten or twenty years old. They were all born before and after the return and were not poisoned by colonial education. But they were the backbone of the riot gang. If we do not dig out and dissect the fundamental reasons, we cannot prescribe the right medicine, and we cannot save some marginal people who are still not in the mud, and it is difficult to prevent more young people from being involved in the evil path of "Hong Kong independence". Among them, "communication and understanding" is the key.

After the founding of New China , the central government has introduced a lot of language and cultural improvements in the mainland in response to the changes and needs of the times, including the use of standardized characters, to promote Mandarin and the terms and vocabulary of the new era. In Hong Kong at the same time, the colonial government used the excuse of respecting the traditional customs of the citizens to keep writing traditional characters and speaking Cantonese , while never introducing mainland terms and vocabulary. Looking back now, the British were deliberately creating a divisional gap between the mainland and Hong Kong that was conducive to colonial rule.

In other words, since 1949, the text, language, and vocabulary artistic conception used by Hong Kong people in China has remained unchanged, and it is basically the case today. At the same time, the mainland has undergone earth-shaking changes, and has continued to accelerate with the success of reform and opening up . The mainland is getting faster and faster, and Hong Kong is still stuck. In addition, the different developments between the two places in the fields of political system, financial economy, and citizen education. Over time, effective communication and real understanding have become the gap in ", one country, two systems, and ". Due to the intervention of the US and Western forces and the use of "Hong Kong independence" have become one of the main causes of division and subversion.

On October 16, 2022, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was grandly opened in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. On the first day of the opening, it took about 2 hours to propose the "Mission and Task of the Communist Party of China in the New Era", reiterated the two-step strategy of building a modern socialist country in all respects proposed by the "19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China". In the middle of this century, China will be built into a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern country. At the same time, the theme of "Comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization" was added. Every word of this report is the most important thing. The content of this report has a profound impact on the future development of our country and is of great significance. Many Hong Kong citizens pay great attention to it and listen or read from different channels as soon as possible.

The next day, when I exchanged my understanding and longing for this report with my colleagues and friends, many people mentioned a topic at the same time; but my Mandarin level cannot reach the level of understanding at first glance, so I have to watch a video with subtitles or read the text version. The problem they said is that I know every word, but I seem to understand the meaning contained in it, and it is difficult to understand it accurately. Especially since I am very unfamiliar with some mainland vocabulary or political terms, I gradually cannot concentrate. Although I know that the content is related to my future well-being, I didn't continue reading it.

For many Hong Kong citizens, as they return, the communication between citizens of the two places becomes more and more frequent, and the gap caused by standardized characters and Mandarin is becoming lighter and lighter, but it is limited to daily life. Because previous SAR governments have not included the history, culture, government structure and political system after the founding of New China into the school's curriculum, Hong Kong citizens know nothing about all this. As long as the topic is about official terms or political vocabulary, many Hong Kong citizens immediately "lost their way", completely unknown, and they cannot listen. Over time, they will feel alienated or even resisted. The US and Western forces take the opportunity to attack, so they can easily poison so many Hong Kong people and brainwash them into "Hong Kong independence yellow silk".

Based on the author's previous experience as a border liaison officer and his long-term observation, let alone the public who have a poor understanding of politics, even many SAR officials and patriotic politicians at all levels have been blocked by this obstacle. They only have a superficial understanding of the policies and instructions issued by the central government, and they cannot grasp the spirit and strategic direction in them at all. In this way, how can the SAR government ensure that the policies and measures it implements are fully cooperated with the central government? The so-called slight difference can lead to a huge mistake, let alone a long period of more than 20 years? This problem of "communication and understanding" is not completely solved in one day, and the governance efficiency of SAR officials will be unsatisfactory, and the difficulties of promoting and governing will increase a lot.

As long as you understand the problem, the response strategy is actually not technically complicated. As long as the government makes up its mind, it is fine. This Twenty Top Reports are an entry point to open up changes. According to media reports, Chief Executive Li Jiachao understands this important report, so why not instruct all government officials to study and discuss from top to bottom and include their grades as one of the important considerations for assessment and promotion. According to past experience, the good customs in the officialdom will soon actively drive all sectors of society and citizens to follow suit, and take a key step to change customs. The establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office and the practice of fighting every time greed have greatly improved the awareness of social integrity.

On the other hand, Cai Ruolian, Director of the Education Bureau, can focus the content of the report into the teaching materials of each school, which not only demonstrates Director Cai's patriotic sentiment, but also enables students and parents to grasp the latest national conditions and the world situation as soon as possible. It can be said that it is a killing two birds with one stone. The key is whether Director Cai has this awareness, how strong his patriotism is, and how firm his will to overcome difficulties in the face of "Hong Kong independence" obstruction.
