Fuxi is the humanistic root of the Chinese nation, while Tianshui City is Fuxi's birthplace and the origin of Fuxi culture. The Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony, jointly organised by the Gansu Provincial People's Government, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, is a significant event held annually in Gansu Province to promote Chinese traditional culture.
Miss Mak said that the Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony is important to the Chinese national identity. By attending the ceremony, Hong Kong compatriots can enhance their sense of belonging to the nation and strengthen the affection for the Chinese people. She expressed gratitude for being invited to attend the meaningful event. Miss Mak added that Tianshui City is not only the source of Fuxi culture, but also an important node city on the Silk Road, containing a strong cultural ambience. She encouraged Hong Kong youth to visit the motherland more often, to gain in-depth understanding of the history and culture of the country and look for the origin of national culture, so as to deepen their sense of national identity, serve society and contribute to the country in the future.
During her visit to Tianshui City, Miss Mak met with Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress Mr Shohrat Zakir; the Executive Deputy Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, Mr Zhou Ji; the Secretary of the CPC Gansu Provincial Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial People's Congress, Mr Hu Changsheng; and the Deputy Secretary of the CPC Gansu Provincial Committee and Governor of Gansu Province, Mr Ren Zhenhe.
