At the "Three Places Children's Voice Cup", we saw young people from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area vividly telling the scientific research spirit of Academician Yuan Longping, the struggle of Quan Hongchan and the literary style of Su Shi in Cantonese, Mandarin and English, etc. We co-organized this trilingual speech contest with the Hong Kong Education Bureau, Foshan Nanhai Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Speech and Debate Association. It not only demonstrated the excellent language control ability and stage style of the young generation, but also let us see how they build a bridge of cultural understanding through language, tell the story of Hong Kong with sincere emotions, and convey the core values of Chinese culture.
As a native of Nanhai, I felt very close to the young contestants from my hometown. This regional connection inspired us to think: the essence of education lies in going beyond the imparting of knowledge, and more emphasis should be placed on emotional resonance and the tracing and identification of cultural roots. In the future, we will continue to support such meaningful activities, collaborate with partners from all walks of life, and jointly cultivate the language literacy and cultural confidence of the younger generation, and help more young people in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area stand on the international stage and show their talents and insights.
