Hong Kong Marathon Cancelled│ Yang Deqiang: Mr. Tian will continue to discuss the cancellation without considering the extension

[10:42] The Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2022, which was originally scheduled to be held on November 20, was cancelled by the Hong Kong Athletics Federation on Friday (16th), pointing out that it has not received a notice of approval to hold it, and there are only two months left before the event. Time to cancel this year's event when there is no choice.

Sports Commissioner Yang Deqiang said on the RTHK program this morning (19th) that President Tian had previously considered rescheduling the event in February next year, and Victoria Park would also have a schedule at that time, but President Tian decided not to postpone it and canceled it directly.

He will continue to discuss different directions with President Tian today, emphasizing that the government will cooperate in response to the epidemic, the number of participants and the track.


In addition, the World Dragon Boat Championships were moved from Hong Kong to Thailand, and the conference pointed out that the quarantine in Hong Kong is strict.

Yang Deqiang expressed a pity for this, thinking that the competition was originally scheduled to be held in August next year, and there are still 11 months left, and the Hong Kong government will adjust the epidemic prevention measures according to the epidemic situation.

He quoted the conference as saying that in addition to participating in the competition, dragon boat racers will also visit and communicate like ordinary tourists. Thailand's epidemic prevention measures are not up to Hong Kong's expectations.

Under the epidemic, the entrepreneurial business is almost "zeroed", and three young proprietresses have transformed into e-commerce and turned over

[07:00] In recent years, Hong Kong's industrial structure has become more homogeneous. Although many Hong Kong youths have dreams and talents, they lack the stage to display, and many people embark on the road of entrepreneurship.

Affected by social events in 2019 and the new coronavirus epidemic, three young female entrepreneurs from different industries encountered different types of difficulties after starting their businesses. In response to changes in public consumption habits under the epidemic, they transformed into e-commerce and started online businesses.

One of the entrepreneurs, Liu Yichuan, launched his own brand, Reborn Story, in 2018, which provides spinning and weaving teaching courses, and sells hand-twisted threads and different types of hand-woven products.

She likes to use colorful yarns, because "where there is color, there is light." She believes that there is a lot of thought behind textiles, which is conveying "we (Hong Kong people) insist on what we think is valuable."
