In 2020, a sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic brought an impact to all walks of life, and "unity and fighting the epidemic together" has become the common voice of the people of all Chinese. Hong Kong and Macao have issued several stamps with the theme of "United to the Epidemic". The small stamps carry the central government's care for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region, condense the sincere gratitude of our compatriots to the heroes of the fight against the epidemic. They are a witness to the "anti-epidemic war". They have respect and sincerity in every possible way.
The central government rescues the danger and solves the difficulties. All sectors of Hong Kong have overcome difficulties together.
To thank the central government for its support for Hong Kong's anti-epidemic work and pay tribute to the heroes of all sectors of society, Hong Kong Post recently printed and sold two small stamps with the theme of "United to the Epidemic". One of them depicts the touching scene of the mainland nucleic acid testing support team assisting Hong Kong, and the other shows the firm determination of Hong Kong's heroes from all walks of life to fight the epidemic together.

was quickly established as a temporary hospital, an efficient and hard-core "Fire Eye Laboratory", a mainland nucleic acid testing support team for emergency rescue... The scenes in the stamp show the heroic spirit of the mainland nucleic acid testing support team going against the trend, and it is the great love for mainland compatriots and Hong Kong compatriots to share weal and woe.
Still remember that from early July to mid-September 2020, Hong Kong entered the most severe period since the outbreak of the epidemic. The central government extended a helping hand in time at the request of the Hong Kong SAR government. On September 1, Hong Kong launched a community testing program for the popularization of the new coronavirus to conduct free new coronavirus testing for citizens. The mainland nucleic acid testing support team tested a total of 1783,000 samples within 14 days.

Medical staff, scientific researchers... The figures of compatriots from all walks of life who are frozen in stamps have witnessed the tenacious perseverance and the responsibility of sharing weal and woe. Hong Kong dentist Zhong Yingxin responded to the call to participate in the "Popular Community Testing Program" and became a sampling medical staff member. Her back is a microcosm of millions of Hong Kong compatriots who "jointly fight the epidemic together".
The SAR government has set up 141 community testing centers in all districts across Hong Kong, and a total of more than 6,000 Hong Kong medical staff have voluntarily signed up to participate in community sampling. Nearly 4,000 government personnel from more than 70 policy bureaus and departments of the SAR government have also been devoted to supporting community testing centers. With scientific sampling services and efficient and close cooperation, this group of tenacious "reversers" ensures the smooth and effective implementation of the "Popular Community Testing Plan".

The central government strongly supports all sectors of Macao to build a line of defense
To pay tribute to the medical staff fighting on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, the Macau Post and Telecommunications Bureau issued a stamp item with the title "One-one to fight the epidemic", including 1 stamp and 1 small sheet. The stamp pattern is a medical staff, and the small sheet pattern is a medical staff with love.

stamp small stamps The figure of front-line workers in epidemic prevention shows the spirit of fulfilling their duties and the true love of being together through thick and thin. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the SAR government quickly launched a major public health prevention and control mechanism. Comprehensive planning, strict prevention and defense, precise prevention and control, and normal anti-epidemic measures have effectively prevented the spread of the new coronavirus in Macau; canceled public gatherings, postponed the resumption of work, prevented imported cases from outside and rebounded from inside, and prompt response and deployment have prompted all sectors of society to form a joint force for the fight against the epidemic. Under the leadership of the SAR government, compatriots from all walks of life in Macao have their own duties and contribute their own strength in the protracted war against the epidemic.
Macau’s smooth prevention and control of the epidemic is inseparable from the support of the central government and the people of the motherland. From the beginning of the epidemic prevention and control work, the country provided a lot of material support to Macau. More than 3 million masks in the first phase of Macau were purchased in the mainland, which allowed the mask protection plan to be implemented smoothly.The mainland expert team also provided a lot of guidance to Macau, bringing mainland prevention and control standards to Macau, helping Macau effectively do a good job in prevention and control. As the director of the Department of Social Culture of the Macao SAR Government, Ouyang Yu, introduced, in the process of epidemic prevention, the importance of "one country" is well reflected.
Although the epidemic is raging, the wind and rain are the same. Faced with the fierce waves of epidemics, all walks of life in Hong Kong and Macao need to work together. With the support of the motherland and the strong support of the central government and the mainland, we will surely survive the cold winter of the epidemic and usher in a vibrant spring!
