SCST attends Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony 2023 in Gansu Province (with photos)

     The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Kevin Yeung, today (June 22) attended the Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony 2023 in Tianshui City in Gansu Province on behalf of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government.　　

     He said, "The Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony is a significant platform for the Chinese to trace their roots and pay respect to their ancestors. The delegation designated by the HKSAR Government to attend the ceremony shows that Hong Kong integrates into national development and the HKSAR's future hinges on the Country's prospects. As Tianshui City in Gansu Province is Fuxi's birthplace and the origin of Fuxi culture, the ancient tradition of Fuxi commemoration has been passed down through generations and turned into a custom."　　

     While in Tianshui City, Mr Yeung also met member of the party group of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council Mr Xiang Bin and leaders of Gansu Province and Tianshui City to exchange views and share experience on cultural, sports and tourism fronts, as well as to explore opportunities for collaboration. Mr Yeung attended an evening variety show and visited one of the four major grottoes in China, Maijishan Grottoes, which receives worldwide acclaim for its clay sculptures.  

     Mr Yeung has departed from Tianshui City for the return journey and will arrive Hong Kong tomorrow (June 23).
