Said that the Patriots' participation in ruling Hong Kong has a broad scope and a large stage

He emphasized that the participation of patriots in governing Hong Kong is very wide and has a large stage. It is by no means a clear-cut one, but a "various colors". It is just that "anti-China chaos in Hong Kong" and Hong Kong independence elements must not participate in the governance structure. .

He said that as long as the patriots govern Hong Kong, as long as they achieve the "five goodness", including being good at accurately implementing the one country, two systems policy, good at doing practical things for the people, and performing their duties, they can also become patriots, emphasizing patriots. Participation in governing Hong Kong is diversified, and can participate regardless of class, occupation, belief, or philosophy.

Xia Baolong also pointed out that the election of the Legislative Council demonstrates balanced participation. The new system reflects the balance of interests. The development of capitalism in Hong Kong has brought many contradictions. The Legislative Council objectively needs to take into account the interests of different people, which is conducive to the development of capitalism and needs to be balanced. The overall interests, sectoral interests, and regional interests. The new system meets this need and is more in line with the actual situation of Hong Kong.

Xia Xu pointed out that elections can also reflect fair competition. He pointed out that there is competition for 90 seats this year. No one can be elected automatically. This is unprecedented since the reunification. "Election", campaign activities are more rational, fair, and orderly, focusing more on the development of people's livelihood, competition ability, and quality display.

He quoted "many Hong Kong citizens" as saying that in the past there were some people in Hong Kong who blindly pursued Western democracy, but this was not true democracy. It only brought division, fighting, and disorder to Hong Kong. The "black violent" incident that day is vividly visible to everyone. The pain in my heart, Hong Kong residents did not get real democracy because of this.

He pointed out that the new electoral system promotes healthy competition, seeks practical benefits for Hong Kong people, develops the economy, and improves people's livelihood.

Xia Baolong also said that Hong Kong’s democratic system must meet the needs of good governance and good governance, and must rely on the active participation of the broad masses of Hong Kong people to promote it. He believes that all citizens who support one country, two systems and hope that Hong Kong will become better and better will certainly exercise their civil rights in accordance with the law with the mentality of being a master. To solemnly cast a sacred vote in your hand. This is not only a vote for your own representative, but also a vote for one country, two systems.

Xia Baolong finally stated that he must solemnly reiterate that the electoral system implemented in Hong Kong is China’s internal affair. The electoral system is "good or bad", depending on whether it is in line with the actual situation of Hong Kong, whether it can contribute to prosperity, stability, and long-term stability. He emphasized that external forces have no right to interfere. For a period of time, some people slandered and smeared Hong Kong’s new electoral system out of ignorance, arrogance, and prejudice. Facts have proved that these countries are not democratic "high students", nor are they qualified to be "teachers."

He specifically mentioned that some people who "forget their ancestors by counting" and colluding with foreign forces, no matter where they flee, will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be punished due to their due punishment.

With support, the Hong Kong Local History Center was established by the Unity Hong Kong Fund, led by the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Tung Chee-hwa, which brought together many social elites, experts and scholars to compile the "Local History". It not only records the historical changes of Hong Kong’s vicissitudes of life, but also has the function of learning from the past, knowing the present, and educating people. It helps people understand where Hong Kong came from, where it has traveled, and where it will go, so as to further increase Hong Kong. Compatriots’ feelings of patriotism, national pride and self-confidence.

It is said that since the Qin Dynasty established the Lingnan three counties, Hong Kong has been brought under the jurisdiction of the central government

Xia Baolong pointed out that Hong Kong has been China's sacred territory since ancient times, and it is an organic part of the long and splendid Chinese civilization. As early as the ancient times, Chinese ancestors have thrived in this hot land of Hong Kong.

He mentioned that since the establishment of the three Lingnan counties in the Qin Dynasty, Hong Kong has been under the jurisdiction of the central government. Chinese culture has a long history and deep roots in Hong Kong. It has been continuously inherited and developed through writing, customs, opera, and architecture. In the long history, Hong Kong has been nurtured and nourished by Chinese culture.

He also pointed out that Hong Kong was forced to separate from the motherland 180 years ago, and Hong Kong fought indomitably for national salvation and national reunification. The Opium War broke out and Hong Kong was forcibly cut by British colonists. China has gradually become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The country is humiliated, the people suffer, and the civilization is dusted. But the Chinese sons and daughters did not succumb to the bloody resistance of the villagers in the "New Territories" in the early days of the leadership, or to participate in the magnificent struggles during the Revolution of 1911, the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation. Compatriots in Hong Kong have also fought shoulder to shoulder with the people of the motherland, stepping forward and succeeding in succession, and there have been many epic and heroic deeds.

Xia Baolong also said that after the founding of New China, Hong Kong compatriots and the motherland were in the same boat, going hand in hand, and jointly creating development miracles one after another.

He pointed out that the time when the People's Republic of China was established and the Chinese nation was slaughtered and bullied was never returned, and Hong Kong has the strongest backing ever since.

Xia Baolong mentioned that in the 1960s, in order to solve the serious water shortage and basic living supplies problems of Hong Kong compatriots, the central government resolutely invested in the construction of the Dongjiang water supply project in the Mainland under extremely difficult conditions, and opened the "three express trains". The motherland, especially since the country's reform and opening up, has made great strides to invest and start business in the motherland, creating numerous "world firsts" and making irreplaceable and important contributions to the development of the country.

He said that the centuries-old wanderer finally returned to the embrace of the motherland, and Hong Kong under the "one country, two systems" has since embarked on the broad road of common development of the motherland and never separation.

Xia Baolong said that the return of Hong Kong to the motherland on July 1, 1997 has wiped out the centuries-old shame of the Chinese nation. The Hong Kong River crosses the banks, the waves are rushing, the lion rock is under the lion rock, and the red flag is fluttering. The fate of Hong Kong has since been in the hands of the Hong Kong compatriots who are the masters of the country.
