The next 15 years and beyond…
15 years ago, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region. During these years, we have faced many challenges: economically, health-wise, socially and even politically. All these challenges have tested our strength and resolved.
But in every situation, the people of Hong Kong have shown determination, courage and sheer perseverance to not only meet the challenges, but to find ways to overcome them.
|
|
Keeping that in mind, the Federation celebrated the 15th Anniversary with young people in a unique and record breaking performance of body percussion. Bringing together 8,000 youth to drum out their dreams and passions, with so much energy and enthusiasm, was a sight and sound to behold! |
