Fourteen young rehabilitated persons began their exchange tour in Foshan on February 7. They first visited the San Tan Geming Shiji Exhibition Hall to learn about modern Chinese history, followed by a visit to a local school to interact with teachers and students, gaining insights into the local learning environment. They then proceeded to a Chinese medicine hospital to understand the long history of Chinese medicine and the development of the healthcare system. Participants subsequently headed to Zhuhai to participate in educational activities at a general aircraft company and a space centre to gain an understanding of national aircraft research and development, aircraft manufacturing and operational services as well as its achievements in aerospace technology. They also visited an intelligent technology company to learn about the nation's research, development and application of unmanned surface vessels.

A participating youth, Ah Ming (pseudonym), who had not returned to the Chinese Mainland for years, stated that during the "black-clad violence" in 2019, he and his friends were incited and misled by newspapers to commit violent acts on the street. He was subsequently sentenced to imprisonment, bearing the legal consequences of his actions. With the help of the Correctional Services Department (CSD)'s rehabilitation services, Ah Ming said he hopes to turn over a new leaf and reintegrate into society, making a contribution to Hong Kong and the homeland.

Ah Ming added that he previously had misunderstandings about the Chinese Mainland due to being misled. This trip has broadened his horizons significantly, not only allowing him to learn about Chinese history and culture, but also providing an opportunity for him to ride a high-speed train for the first time and visit technology enterprises, so that he could understand in person the rapid development of the country. He appreciated the CSD for the meticulous arrangements, which allowed him to rediscover his homeland.

The Exchange Tour is an extension of the Department's targeted rehabilitation programme, the Project PATH. Participants include youths under supervision who were involved in the "black-clad violence". The tour aims, through visits and observation, to allow participants to learn and understand the profound Chinese history and culture as well as to witness the nation's prosperous development, thereby deepening their understanding of national conditions and development and fostering their sense of belonging to the country and national identity.

CEDD achieves four top accolades of gold medals with congratulations of jury at International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva

The Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) achieved outstanding results at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, winning a total of 10 awards, including four top accolades of gold medals with the congratulations of jury, two gold medals, three silver medals and a bronze medal.

The Director of Civil Engineering and Development, Mr Michael Fong, today (March 15) was encouraged by the department's remarkable achievements at the Exhibition this year. He said, "The department has been actively engaging in research and development and applying innovative technologies to enhance work efficiency and quality, as well as improving site safety. This achievement affirms the professionalism and innovative spirit of our colleagues."

In the field of disaster prevention, the in-house team of the CEDD developed the fifth-generation AI Landslip Warning System, applying artificial intelligence and big data technology to analyse the rainfall and landslide data in Hong Kong. This significantly improves the accuracy of risk assessment and issuance of warning signals. In addition, the department also developed a number of intelligent safety management systems, including the occupational health and safety management and monitoring system for confined spaces that can achieve instant alerts and closed-loop management; the CANOPUS - Smart Safety Harness monitoring system focusing on safety for working-at-height which can ensure that safety harnesses are securely attached; and the pioneering multi-channel certification mechanism that can enable real-time tracking and predictive alerts of personnel and equipment. The above inventions all received the gold medals with the congratulations of jury at this Exhibition.

The awarded projects by the CEDD are:

Gold medals with the congratulations of jury

• AI Landslip Warning System

• Intelligent occupational health and safety management and monitoring system for confined spaces

• CANOPUS - Smart Safety Harness

• Personnel real-name system and equipment tracking intelligent software

Gold medals

• IntelliGuard OS

Silver medals

• CEDD AI Assistant

• Heavy machinery and hazardous area monitoring system

• TAMAGO - Smart Falsework Monitoring System

Bronze medal

• Electronic lock and work permit system for hazardous areas

The International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva is an annual grand event in the global invention community. This year, the Exhibition was held from March 11 to 15 in Geneva, Switzerland, showcasing about 1 000 inventions from 35 countries and regions, which were evaluated by the international jury of specialists.
