We are fortunate to be able to catch up, and that we should seize the opportunities that lie ahead, find our own stage, fulfil our dreams, and contribute to the country, Hong Kong and the human world." He was pleased to see that the EDB, Po Leung Kuk, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and a number of school councils united strengths and joined hands to organise the "Love Our Home, Treasure Our Country 2.0" activities to further enhance the sense of national pride and affection for the country and Hong Kong among young people.

Apart from teachers and students, some activities invited parents, experts from different sectors and members of the public to enhance different stakeholders' understanding of national education. Through Chinese cultural heritage and immersionprogrammes under themes such as China's outstanding historical figures, food culture, tea art, poetry and literature, the activities enriched students' understanding of Chinese culture and the development of the country, further promoting national education.
