The vision points to the future and youth participation is essential. In Hong Kong, the successive social incidents and recurring epidemics in recent years have had a huge impact on the governance of the SAR government. The society has also fallen into great difficulties and a gloomy atmosphere; the relationship between young people and the SAR government has experienced unprecedented tension.
In addition, research by the Youth Entrepreneurship Research Center shows that a considerable proportion of young people continue to express distrust of the SAR government; young people have a sense of belonging to Hong Kong, but at the same time, a significant proportion have no hope for Hong Kong's future.
With the implementation of the "National Security Law for the Hong Kong Area" and the implementation of relevant measures on the principle of patriots governing Hong Kong, some social voices believe that Hong Kong has transitioned from chaos to rule. However, there are still many young people who feel quite alienated from society and the government, and the overall society is also under low pressure. If this situation continues or worsens, it will inevitably cause people to worry that it will have a negative impact on the pace and direction of Hong Kong's future development. .

How the new SAR government can assume the role of a better governor, unite society, lead Hong Kong forward, and how to rekindle the confidence of young people are governance issues that the new government must face squarely.
This study aims to take the above background as an opportunity to grasp the younger generation's vision for Hong Kong from a youth perspective, and from a forward-looking perspective, to promote the SAR government's implementation of good governance and good governance, and to maintain Hong Kong's progress. The motivation for development, expectations can provide important reference.
