In the midsummer of the Bingwu year, members of the Hong Kong Whampoa Military Academy Descendants and Friends Association inscribed a calligraphy plaque bearing the words “Hong Kong Academy of Technology” in Hong Kong. The work features vigorous and well-regulated brushwork, with clear inscriptions and preserved seals, embodying both calligraphic artistic value and cultural commemorative significance.
The Hong Kong Whampoa Military Academy Descendants and Friends Association has long carried forward the Whampoa spirit of patriotism and national service, organizing various public welfare activities across Hong Kong, Macao, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, including historical heritage preservation, patriotic fellowship, and youth education, thereby rallying patriotic forces in Hong Kong and Macao. The inscription for the Hong Kong Academy of Technology represents a cultural collaboration between a patriotic historical association and a civilian academic research institution.
Rooted in Hong Kong’s strategic position, the Hong Kong Academy of Technology is dedicated to cutting-edge technological research and cross-border academic exchange. With calligraphy as the bond, the two parties have integrated the founding aspirations of Whampoa forebears—serving the nation through science and technology, and revitalizing the country through industry—into the sci-tech innovation endeavors of the new era. This collaboration helps the Academy leverage the advantages of “One Country, Two Systems” to deepen industry-academia-research cooperation across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, nurture sci-tech talent, better integrate into the broader landscape of Greater Bay Area innovation, cultivate a deep-rooted patriotic cultural heritage in Hong Kong, and serve regional innovative development.
