SHYA attends Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony 2026 in Gansu Province
The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, today (June 21) attended the Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony 2026 in Tianshui City in Gansu Province on behalf of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.
Fuxi is a representative figure of the cultural ancestor of the Chinese nation, and the Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony is of great significance to Chinese national identity. The Taihao Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony was inscribed in the first batch of the national list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2006. To promote Chinese traditional culture, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, and the Gansu Provincial People's Government jointly organised the Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony annually on the Summer Solstice in June. It is a long-standing and important festival retained by Gansu Province.
To complement this cultural event of the Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony, Tianshui City organised an exchange concert with the Hong Kong Gaudeamus Dunhuang Ensemble this year, to deepen regional cultural collaboration and expand the cultural dissemination landscape. Miss Mak expressed gratitude for the invitation to enjoy a wonderful performance by a group of talented young musicians from Hong Kong. She said she believes that the performance is of profound significance as it fosters exchange and mutual learning in history and culture, and celebrates the breadth and depth of traditional Chinese culture.
Miss Mak expressed her deepest appreciation for being invited to attend this meaningful event again, believing that participating in the ceremony would allow one to profoundly experience the significance of Chinese people sharing the same root and inheriting the common historical culture. Miss Mak said that Hong Kong youths were specially invited to join the delegation to participate in the ceremony, and she was delighted to see the strong Fuxi culture in Gansu and the younger generation inheriting thousands of years of Chinese civilisation and becoming the successors of Chinese culture. Miss Mak added that participation in the Public Fuxi Commemoration Ceremony enabled the younger generation of Hong Kong to experience the historical and cultural richness, as well as the rapid development of the nation, thereby enhancing their sense of identity and pride in Chinese culture.
During her visit to Tianshui City, Miss Mak met with the Executive Deputy Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, Mr Xu Qifang; 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 Governor of Gansu Province, Mr Ren Zhenhe.
Miss Mak will conclude her visit to Gansu Province and proceed to Fujian Province this afternoon. She will return to Hong Kong on June 23.
