What will Hong Kong look like 50 years after its return?

According to the Basic Law, after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, its original capitalist system and way of life will remain unchanged for 50 years.

20 17,17 On July 3, when communicating with Zhang Rongshun, deputy director of the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee in the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), Chen Mengchun, a fifth-grade student of Ye Ying Primary School of Hong Kong Yuen Long Public Middle School Alumni Association, asked.

On the same day, 100 Hong Kong primary school students from the 20 17 Hong Kong Inter-school Basic Law Quiz Competition came to Tsinghua University to attend Zhang Rongshun's lecture.

Zhang Rongshun said that Mr. Deng Xiaoping once pointed out that after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the original capitalist system and way of life will remain unchanged for 50 years, not only to calm the people in Hong Kong, but also considering that maintaining Hong Kong's prosperity and stability is closely related to the national development strategy. "50 years unchanged" is an image statement, which cannot be changed within 50 years and does not need to be changed after 50 years. The principle and policy of "one country, two systems" cannot be changed if it is supported by the people of the whole country and Hong Kong.

"In fact, many college students come to ask me. I said that this question should not be asked by me, but should be asked by me. " Zhang Rongshun said with a smile, by 2047, you will be about 40 years old, and that's your business. What will happen after 2047? This question depends on you.

"Will the Basic Law change? If so, what is the procedure? " Liu Siwei, a student at Ye Ying Primary School, asked.

"Any law can be amended. Article 159 of the Basic Law stipulates that the power to amend the Basic Law belongs to the National People's Congress, and the power to amend it belongs to the NPC Standing Committee, the State Council and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. " Zhang Rongshun pointed out that any amendment to the Basic Law is limited and must not contradict the established principles and policies of the state towards Hong Kong.

He also mentioned that the Basic Law is a constitutional law, and its drafting process took four years and eight months, and it was discussed by various circles in Hong Kong and the Mainland, so this law cannot be easily amended.

"If the Basic Law lacks stability, its role in safeguarding society will be reduced. If you really want to modify it, you must follow the procedure carefully. " Zhang Rongshun said.

"According to the relevant provisions of the Basic Law, no one is allowed to commit treason. Is there any specific provision about patriotism education in the Basic Law? "Asked Li Donglin, a fifth-grade student of Taoist Songqing Primary School.

"The Basic Law does not explicitly stipulate patriotism education, but the spirit of patriotism should run through the whole policy of' one country, two systems' and the Basic Law." Zhang Rongshun said that patriotism education needs to understand the history of the country, and more importantly, everyone should care about the development of society and the country.

"How did the name of the Basic Law come from?" "How to better implement the Basic Law in Hong Kong?" "What impact does the implementation of the Basic Law have on China's economic development?" In the 40-minute question-and-answer session, Hong Kong primary school students enthusiastically asked questions, and Zhang Rongshun, who has been engaged in the work related to the Basic Law for more than 30 years, patiently answered them one by one.

On the same day, Zhang Rongshun also gave a lecture entitled "What is China people?". He mentioned in his lecture that Hong Kong is an inseparable part of the country after its return to the motherland. All those who take part in the construction of Hong Kong, even if they have never been to the mainland in their lifetime, are also builders of the country.

"Because maintaining the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and protecting the interests of more than 7 million residents in Hong Kong are also the interests of the country and an integral part of the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Zhang Rongshun said.
