share and share it and integrate into the overall national development
On November 11, the 5th 18 Luohan Mountain Directional Cross-Country Competition of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Youth Nansha New District was held. Among the nearly 1,000 contestants, there were more than 300 young students from Hong Kong and Macao. The theme of the
event is "New Journey in Nansha, Youth Sets Off Again", which is exactly in line with the major theme of China in the new era.
China enters a new era, and the destiny of Hong Kong and Macao and the motherland have always been closely linked. To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland of the motherland need to adhere to the complementary advantages and common development, and to adhere to the support of compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao and the people of the mainland, we need to adhere to the mutual assistance and work together. To this end, the report of the 19th National Congress will combine "one country, two systems" with the realization of the "two centenary" goals, pointing out the direction for the development of Hong Kong and Macao and Hong Kong and Macao work.
This "reflects the important position of Hong Kong and Macao work in the overall work of the Party and the country, and reflects the central government's high attention to Hong Kong and Macao work." On December 15, when meeting with the Chief Executives of the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, Xi Jinping repeatedly emphasized that adhering to "one country, two systems" and "promoting the reunification of the motherland" are important contents of the basic strategy of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, which is of great significance. At the same time, Xi Jinping once again made a deep commitment: the central government supports Hong Kong and Macao in the overall national development.
Previously, Xi Jinping clearly stated in his report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: focus on the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cooperation, and Pan-Pearl River Delta regional cooperation, comprehensively promote mutually beneficial cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, and formulate and improve policies and measures to facilitate the development of Hong Kong and Macao residents in the mainland.
General Secretary’s words are like a warm current, carrying the strong support of the Party Central Committee as always, conveying the true and moving love and love between compatriots, which makes compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao feel excited and encouraged.
Cui Sai On, Chief Executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region, wrote an article saying that the report of the 19th National Congress fully reflects the central government’s cordial care for compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao, its strong support for the development of Hong Kong and Macao, and its high attention to the work of Hong Kong and Macao.
"Hong Kong is backed by a strong motherland and has unlimited development opportunities. This is the primary source of confidence in Hong Kong's future development." Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive Carrie Lam is full of confidence in future development.

Looking back at the past, with the care and support of the Party Central Committee and the joint efforts of all parties, Hong Kong and Macao have made great progress: from 2012 to 2016, Hong Kong's GDP grew by 2.6% per year, higher than the average growth rate of developed economies in the same period; Macau's economy stopped falling and rebounded after deep adjustments, and its per capita GDP ranked among the forefront in the world, and social undertakings reached a new level...
There are opportunities, there are hope, challenges and risks.
"As an unprecedented cause, the practice of 'one country, two systems' will not be smooth sailing." Xi Jinping pointed out incisively that to continue to promote the cause of 'one country, two systems', it is necessary to organically combine upholding the principle of "one country" and respecting the differences of "two systems", safeguarding the central power and safeguarding the high degree of autonomy of the special administrative region, giving full play to the role of a strong backing in the motherland, and improving Hong Kong and Macao's own competitiveness. We must not be neglected at any time.
Entering a new era, adhering to the foundation of "one country", making good use of the benefits of "two systems", giving full play to its strengths, and serving the needs of the country, has become a major opportunity for Hong Kong and Macao to participate in the integration into national progress and national rejuvenation.
embarks on a new journey and must "fully and accurately implement the policies of 'one country, two systems', 'Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong', 'Macao people governing Macao', and high autonomy, and strictly act in accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law", "support the government and chief executives of the Special Administrative Region to govern according to law, take active actions... fulfill the constitutional responsibility of safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests", "develop and strengthen the patriotic, love Hong Kong, and love Macao"...
- This is the earnest instruction of General Secretary Xi Jinping.
Compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao should keep their mission in mind, seize unprecedented opportunities of the times, actively integrate into national development, and share the great glory of the prosperity and strength of the motherland in the new journey of sharing the historical responsibility of national rejuvenation.
Both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, sincerely seeking the welfare of Taiwanese compatriots
Compatriots have deep feelings, blood is thicker than water; share the destiny and walk hand in hand.
——We uphold the concept of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait", respect Taiwan's existing social system and lifestyle of Taiwan compatriots, and are willing to take the lead in sharing the opportunities of mainland development with Taiwan compatriots;
———We will expand cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, achieve mutual benefit and mutual benefit, and gradually provide Taiwanese compatriots with the same treatment as mainland compatriots in studying, starting businesses, employment and living in the mainland, and enhance the welfare of Taiwanese compatriots;

Walked out of the Great Hall of the People, and the delegates were still excited. "A series of policy declarations are full of warmth, allowing Taiwan compatriots to see a bright future for promoting cross-strait exchanges and benefiting people's livelihood on both sides of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Fu Zhiguan, a representative of the Taiwan National Congress, sighed: I firmly believe that compatriots on both sides of the strait will get closer and closer, realize spiritual harmony in exchanges and exchanges, and work together to develop the Communist Party to realize the beautiful Chinese dream of the Chinese people on both sides of the strait.

All the past is the prologue.
"What we have done to promote cross-strait relations is to realize the yearning for a better life for compatriots on both sides of the strait." The care of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core for compatriots in Taiwan has turned into tangible actions and real benefits.
For a long time, the mainland has actively introduced policies and measures to provide many conveniences for Taiwanese compatriots to study, work and live in the mainland, create better conditions, and allow people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially Taiwanese compatriots, to have more "sense of gain" from exchanges. From 2013 to the first half of 2017, the cumulative trade volume between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait reached US$851.23 billion, of which 198.3 billion was US$198.3 billion in 2014, a record high; 40.967 million people cross-strait personnel exchanges, of which 9.856 million were reached in 2015, a record high...
"If entrepreneurship in Taiwan is the accumulation from '0' to '1', starting a business in the mainland may draw a curve from '1' to '100'." Taiwanese young maker Xu Yuren appeared with his own personal experience and encouraged Taiwanese friends to try their skills in the mainland.
People are increasingly feeling that the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are brothers who break bones and tendons, family members whose blood is thicker than water, and brothers and societies that are constantly being separated. Only by working together to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can we usher in a common and bright future.
lives up to the new era and seize the opportunity to "do it as you say it"
There is a kind of "get" called the care of the party, and a kind of "paying" is called continuous struggle.
"The new era must have a new atmosphere and new achievements." When the new member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee met with Chinese and foreign journalists on October 25, Xi Jinping's powerful words aroused strong resonance and aroused the passion for struggle.
On October 27, on the third day of the closing of the 19th National Congress, the SAR governments of Hong Kong and Macao officially signed the "Arrangement between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region on Establishing Closer Economic and Trade Relations". Both sides agreed that Hong Kong and Macao and Guangdong Province should jointly promote the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and set it as a focus of future cooperation. Some analysts believe that the signing of the agreement will help the two places work together to give full play to their institutional advantages and actively integrate into the overall national development.
On December 15, the water supply pipeline of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was announced to be completed, which also marks another key step in the construction of this world-class super-large cross-sea transportation project. A bridge that covers three places will surely further open up the development space of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
"There will not be pie falling from the sky, and only by working hard can your dream come true." Xi Jinping's earnest teachings are still in his ears. After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there have been constant hot news about the "complementary advantages, sharing resources, and mutual benefit and win-win results" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macao, and the "hot" trend of mutual benefit and common development continues.
On November 6, the annual event of cross-strait industrial exchanges - the 2017 Cross-strait Entrepreneurs Purple Mountain Summit kicked off in Nanjing. This is the largest private economic and trade exchange activity between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. A number of cooperation consensus reached after two days of heated discussions, and a total of 29 cooperation agreements were signed. A new chapter of cross-strait economic cooperation is the first to write a piece of paper amid the expectations.

The opportunities hidden in the new era can always make people feel energetic and full of passion.
"Hong Kong will actively participate in the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road Initiative to provide impetus for national development and promote its own development." "The 'new era' of socialism with Chinese characteristics has begun. This modernization process that highlights Chinese characteristics will surely bring positive impact and more opportunities to Macao." For the future, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots are extremely confident and motivated.
Huang Weijun, who has been living in the mainland for many years, sincerely sighed: "The mainland regards Taiwan compatriots as brothers of flesh and blood, and is willing to take the lead in sharing development opportunities with Taiwan compatriots, which is touching. As Taiwan compatriots, I hope that the Taiwan authorities can feel the goodwill of the mainland, agree that the '1992 Consensus' and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China. I hope that the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will work together to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
shoulders the mission and strives to succeed. "A nation is a common blessing for our compatriots; a nation is a common disaster for our compatriots." Entering a new era, we must "hold the destiny of our nation firmly in our own hands."
The romantic figure, still look at the present day. All Chinese people, including compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, will, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, embark on a new journey and embark on a new era. (Text/Cai Chunlin)
