Zhang Qiming, head of Anhui Overseas Friendship Association, expressed his thanks to the participants from Anhui and Hong Kong.He pointed out that holding this kind of cloud study camp is an active exploration for the deepening of the cultural interaction between Anhui and Hong Kong and for the promotion of the cultural exchanges between the two places under the epidemic situation. This cloud study camp uses research to substitute training, and uses study to push forward promotion. Through the "screen to screen" approach via internet, Anhui scholars will expound the connotation of Huzhou culture in different times and Hong Kong scholars interpret the thinking path of the Hong Kong people to the perception of traditional culture. In this way, we can promote Anhui culture and boost its image in Hong Kong. Zhang Qiming also expected that young students will get closer to the traditional culture represented by Huizhou culture through this study camp, and become inheritors and disseminators of the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
