This award represented a significant milestone in CityU efforts in artistic education and the transmission of China’s outstanding traditional culture. Leveraging the exchange platform provided by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance, CityU students used folk music as a bridge to strengthen cultural interaction among young people across Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, telling the stories of Greater Bay Area youth through the language of folk music. Going forward, CityU Art Troupe will continue to deepen its commitment to arts and artistic education, leveraging various exchange platforms to promote the dissemination of traditional Chinese musical culture, further strengthen cultural ties among Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao youth, and demonstrate the patriotic sentiment and cultural confidence of young people from Macao.
