This century
will be special for China and we are marking it with a series of
events
focusing on young Chinese leaders from around
the world. Dragons in China – the First World Chinese Youth
Forum will take place this month in Beijing, bringing together 2000 young
delegates. They will discuss the theme New Opportunities in
a Global Economy, led by renowned guest speakers. The forum will nurture
leadership potential and encourage the growth of networks among
young Chinese
that can encompass the globe, enabling mutual exchange and the
sharing of a common vision.

These events
embrace Hong Kong youth leaders and their Chinese counterparts
everywhere. The series began with
Dragon at the Great Wall. Thousands of young people from overseas,
the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau took part in a spectacular
dragon dance. Next came The Music of the Dragons – a youth concert
which brought together ten thousand young Chinese percussionists.
And now the long-awaited First World Chinese Youth Forum. This meeting
will generate synergy and emphasize Chinese commitment to global
development. Want to know more? Visit www.hkfyg.org.hk/dragons

Belle and Chun-kong on China
Exchange trips
to China have grown in significance since 1997 when Belle and Chun-kong
went on an early Federation study tour to earthquake-devastated
Tangshan. Like many other young Chinese people who have come to
know China through exchange trips, they were surprised by the sense
of belonging and warm welcome. Belle went to China again in 2000
to take part in the Dragon Dance at the Great Wall – the first
event of several held by the Federation to celebrate the Century
of the Dragon. She and her cohort all say how moving these experiences
were and how forcibly they can bring out the Chinese sense of identity
while also bringing home the idea that despite cultural and linguistic
differences we all have a great deal in common.
