She said youths stand for the future and are the most creative part in a society. She hoped young people in China, from Hong Kong, Macao as well as the Chinese mainland and Taiwan province, can shoulder the historical responsibility to make their contributions to the great revival of the Chinese nation.

She also urged that the young people in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) should love the motherland and love Hong Kong, and be a united force in preserving the national sovereignty and Hong Kong's prosperity.

Liu came to Hong Kong Saturday to open the 5th East Asian Games on Saturday.
