President Xi Jinping arrived in Hong Kong today (June 30) to attend the celebration of the return of the motherland. One of the "designated actions" was to take a group photo with people from all walks of life. Due to the epidemic, the scale of this group photo was greatly reduced, and only about 100 people attended.

Li Ka-shing, the founder of Changhe Department, was among Xi Jinping's last two visits to Hong Kong. In 2017, he shook hands with Xi for more than 10 seconds, but Li Ka-shing was not seen at this meeting. His eldest son and chairman of Changhe University, Li Zeju, participated.


Comparing the group photos of Xi Jinping’s two visits to Hong Kong in 2017 and 2022, we may see the changes in Hong Kong’s political and business forces in the five years.

Fok Zhenting and He Zhuguo "rise" to sit in the first row

Accompanied by Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Xi Jinping met with more than 100 people from all walks of life in Hong Kong at the exhibition in the afternoon.

Unlike in the past, Xi Jinping did not shake hands with everyone, but only nodded in greeting.

According to the scene clips, the guests in the first row include Fan Xu Litai, former member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Liang Aishi, former deputy director of the Basic Law Committee, Tan Huizhu, deputy director of the Basic Law Committee, Chen Margaret, He Zhuguo, Yu Guochun, members of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Lui Zhihe, chairman of the K. Wah Group, and the Hong Kong Association cum Olympic Committee President Zhenting Fok, etc.

Among them, Fok Zhenting and He Zhuguo were placed in the second row in 2017. This time, they all "raised it" and sat on the far right of the first row, which was originally an excellent "handshake position".

In the middle of the second row are Cheung Kong Chairman Li Zeju, Henderson Chairman Li Jiajie, Sino Chairman Huang Zhixiang, Head of the Hong Kong People's Congress Delegation Ma Fengguo, Lan Kwai Fong Group Chairman Sheng Zhiwen, Bank of East Asia Co-CEO Li Minbin, and All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Vice Chairman Lu Wenduan On the left and right are Li Huiqiong, Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of China, Wu Qiubei, President of the Federation of Trade Unions, Lei Tianliang, representatives of the Hong Kong People's Congress, Huang Junyu and others.

In 2017, President Xi Jinping visited Hong Kong and took a group photo with people from all walks of life. The lineup of attendees was overwhelming.

When Xi Jinping visited Hong Kong in 2017 and took photos with people from all walks of life, the first row of guests were all heavyweight political and business figures, including Li Ka-shing and former Hong Kong District People's Congress representative Wu Kangmin, but they did not participate this time.

When Xi Jinping visited Hong Kong in 2008 as vice-president, Li Ka-shing was in the middle of the second row, and Xi Jinping was sitting in front.

In 2017, Xi Jinping shook hands with Li Ka-shing, the founder of the Changhe Department, for more than 10 seconds.

However, Li Zeju, Li Ka-shing's eldest son and member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, continued to be invited. He and Li Jiajie, another member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, were placed in the middle of the second row, the "beautiful seat" behind Xi Jinping.

As for other real estate developers, SHKP Chairman Guo Binglian or Executive Director Guo Jihui have not been seen, and New World's father and son Cheng Ka-shun and Cheng Zhigang have not participated. The 92-year-old Ka Wah Lui Chi-wo continued to "firmly maintain" his position on the side of the first row.

Several members of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC attended the photo session, including Cai Guanshen, Wu Haohao, and Tan Jinqiu, but did not see Tang Yingnian.

Shi Ronghuai and Rong Yongqi, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, also participated, and the youth representatives included Liang Hongzheng, vice chairman of the All-China Youth Federation.
