🎉 It's been 27 years since Hong Kong returned to China, and its art scene is more vibrant than ever! On July 1, we celebrate not just an anniversary, but the unyielding spirit of a city where East truly meets West.
CGTN's Enoch Wong recently caught up with Sean Lee, a young Hong Kong resident with a suitcase full of experiences. After diving deep into art history at Columbia University in the U.S. 🇺🇸, he's now exploring public policy at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China 🇨🇳. Talk about a journey!
Sean shared his insights on Hong Kong's unique role as a cultural bridge between civilizations. \"Great civilizations need art,\" he said, emphasizing how creativity fuels progress and understanding. 🎭
He also highlighted how the \"One Country, Two Systems\" framework is key to safeguarding freedom of expression in Hong Kong. According to Sean, this arrangement allows the city's art scene to flourish, blending traditions and modernity in ways that resonate globally. 🌏
\"Hong Kong is like that cool friend who introduces you to new music,\" he laughed. \"It's always connecting people and ideas.\" 🎧
As travelers and culture enthusiasts, we can appreciate how Hong Kong continues to be a hotspot for international cultural exchange. Whether you're an art aficionado, a student seeking inspiration, or just someone eager to explore, Hong Kong's dynamic energy is an invitation you can't refuse! ✈️
