The Chinese People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison concluded two annual summer camps for youth on Sunday, drawing over 500 students to the closing ceremonies at San Wai Barracks. Chief Executive John Lee attended the event, bestowing certificates upon the participants. In his remarks, Lee highlighted how the grueling physical training, discipline, and firsthand experience with PLA soldiers fueled the campers' love for the nation and Hong Kong.

He outlined three expectations for the youth: nurturing patriotism, continual skill development to overcome challenges, and courage in assuming responsibility, ultimately contributing to Hong Kong's prosperity and China's rejuvenation. Political Commissar Lai Ruxin also spoke, viewing the participants as the nation's future. A secondary school student, attending his second camp, praised the experience for deepening his understanding of the Garrison, encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone, and providing first-aid training.
