The ceremony was performed by the PolyU Student Flag-Raising Team. Dr Lam Tai-fai said, “In the 28 years since Hong Kong returned to the Motherland, the City has fully leveraged its distinctive advantages of enjoying the strong support of the Nation and being closely connected to the world. It has actively integrated into the overall national development and contributed to the Nation’s high-quality development. Five years after the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the City has transitioned from chaos to order, leaving behind turmoil and returning to stability and harmony. With public order restored, Hong Kong is now advancing from stability to prosperity. As a member of Hong Kong’s higher education sector, PolyU is committed to serving the Nation’s needs with its own strengths, nurturing professionals and social leaders with a strong sense of national pride and a global perspective, and supporting Hong Kong’s development into an international innovation and technology centre and international hub for post-secondary education.” Prof. Jin-Guang Teng remarked, “This year marks the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR. Under the principle of ‘one country, two systems’, Hong Kong has received staunch support from the Nation and has capitalised on its unique advantage while reinforcing its connectivity with both the Mainland and the world, maintaining long-term prosperity and stability for society. Being an innovative world-class university, PolyU will continue to strive for excellence in talent development, research and knowledge transfer to contribute to the further development of Hong Kong and the nation.”
