In his speech at the closing ceremony, Hu Wei spoke highly of the significance and achievements of the study camp, and fully affirmed the active participation and outstanding performance of the students. The camp was not only a cultural exchange, but also a further understanding of our country, which promoted young students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to be more closely linked together, and enhanced their friendship and expanded their horizons. He encouraged all young students to transform the harvest of the camp into practical actions, constantly pursue excellence, and make unremitting efforts to realize personal value and social progress. He also warmly welcomed and looked forward to students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan continuing study and work as well as starting business in this energetic and inclusive city of Shanghai in the future.
