Did Lang Lang become a foreigner?

No, he just entered Hong Kong, China.

He said that he didn't want to give up his original nationality in China, but he applied for permanent residence in Hong Kong under the Mainland Talents Scheme for the convenience of performing abroad.

People's Daily Online, Hong Kong, November 27th Reporter Chen Xiaozhong's photo report: Today, according to the "quality migrant admission scheme" regulations of the Hong Kong SAR government, the famous pianist Lang Lang arrived in Hong Kong and submitted relevant documents, and obtained the endorsement certificate that he could enter Hong Kong multiple times. This is the first time that "quality migrant admission scheme" has been introduced to Hong Kong since it was launched in June this year.

After a 9-hour long flight, mainland pianist Lang Lang arrived in Hong Kong at 5 pm and then drove to the Hong Kong Immigration Department. After submitting the originals of the relevant documents, Lang Lang filled out the relevant forms, received the identity documents endorsed by the Immigration Department, and became a Hong Kong resident. For a year or more, Lang Lang can stay in Hong Kong without being hired by his employer in advance until he finds a suitable job and develops his own career.

after completing the relevant formalities, Lang Lang told the media that he was very happy to join the "quality migrant admission scheme" and was honored to be the first person in this project. Regarding obtaining Hong Kong resident status, he said, although I have many opportunities to get identity passports from other countries, I am even more proud to be recognized and appreciated on the music stage all over the world as a China citizen. He said that in the future, he will come to Hong Kong more frequently and will leave more time for Hong Kong to present updated music and new works. He also said that due to the tight time, there is no plan to buy a house, but he thinks he likes the bustling streets of Hong Kong Island and can get together more with friends.

The "quality migrant admission scheme" promulgated by the SAR Government in June this year stipulates that successful applicants do not need to be employed by local employers before coming to settle in Hong Kong; Once approved, you can bring your spouse and unmarried children under 18 at the same time. In a year or more, I got used to life here, got to know the environment here and started to develop my own career. In the first round, 83 applicants passed the examination, of which 76% were from the mainland. Among the applicants, apart from art and sports talents, most were engaged in finance, commerce and information technology, followed by manufacturing, construction, surveying, engineering and law.
