According to Xinhua News Agency Hong Kong (Reporter Cao Jiyang) The "Bathletic Dream Building the Brave Heart·Beijing-Hong Kong Team Enters Campus" charity event was held at Peiqiao Middle School in Hong Kong on June 6. A total of about 200 teachers and students from Beijing Enterprises Men's Basketball Team, Hong Kong Nanhua Basketball Team and Peiqiao Middle School participated in the event. The atmosphere at the event was warm, and professional players from the Beijing Enterprises Men's Basketball Team and the Nanhua Basketball Team first brought a wonderful three-person basketball exhibition match to the students. Afterwards, the players of the two teams turned into "basketball teachers" and held a "campus basketball workshop", demonstrating basic technical key points such as dribbling, passing, and shooting for students, and held a three-person basketball friendly match with the students.

Deputy Director of the Civil Affairs and Youth Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government Leung Hongzheng delivered a speech saying that the SAR government has always been very concerned about youth development and launched the "Youth Development Blueprint" by the end of 2022. He encouraged students to actively explore and experience it, and use this event to broaden their horizons and expand their diverse career development paths.

Zhou Shiyao, Development Director of Peiqiao Education Institution, said that the Beijing-Hong Kong team's campus charity event uses basketball as a link to provide Hong Kong youth with valuable opportunities to get close to professional sports and broaden their life horizons. At the same time, it also enhances the exchange and cooperation between sports cultures between Beijing and Hong Kong.
