Introduction

"My Interfaces with the Belt and Road Initiative"

It is the name of an inter-school integrated skills competition in Hong Kong, and also the flagship program of Belt and Road Pioneer (BRP). The first edition was launched in 2017. Its primary goal is to help young people seize the vast opportunities brought by the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), and prepare themselves early—including choosing further study subjects, learning languages and cultures, and selecting study destinations.

Award-winning students of the competition are arranged to visit and exchange in BRI countries (regions radiated by the GBA) during summer vacations. The program is promoted and led by Honorary Chairman Prof. Herman HU, Honorary Presidents Mr. Bernard CHAN and Hon. CHAN Yung, as well as a group of voluntary distinguished figures.

  • 2017 (1st trip): Silk Road Exploration into Malaysia – The delegation conducted in-depth inspections in Malacca and met with local leaders at the banquet hall on the top floor of Maybank, Malaysia’s largest enterprise.
  • 2018 (2nd trip): Silk Road Exploration into Thailand – Arranged with great care by founding Honorary President Mr. Bernard CHAN, the delegation gathered with local business leaders at the banquet hall on the top floor of Bangkok Bank (Thailand’s largest bank) to learn about the development of the "Digital Silk Road" under "Thailand 4.0" (Eastern Economic Corridor, EEC).
  • 2019 (3rd trip): Exploring Innovation in Vietnam – Hosted and arranged by Mr. Jonathan CHOI (from New China Group) and his son, the delegation learned about the latest progress of Vietnam’s "Industry 4.0".

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, award-winning teachers and students participated in local GBA Green Tourism activities to enhance young people’s awareness of ecological environmental protection, and contribute to building a "high-quality living circle" in the GBA (suitable for living, working and traveling) and advancing the "Beautiful China" initiative.

After the pandemic, overseas exchanges resumed:

  • 2023 (6th trip): Silk Road Exploration into Indonesia – Visiting the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway;
  • 2024 (7th trip): Silk Road Exploration into Cambodia – Inspecting green infrastructure;
  • 2025 (8th trip): Silk Road Exploration into Laos – Visiting the China-Laos Railway.
