A short film created by Ng Ka Ngai, student in the Department of Communication of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Macau (UM), won the gold award and the best screenplay award at the ‘Introduction to Law—Microfilm Creation Competition for Macao College Students’. Titled Become a family, Ng’s film showcased the integrated development of Macao and Hengqin, as well as the new vitality of the ‘one country, two systems’ policy.

According to Ng, the strong support of the central and the Macao SAR governments has facilitated the coordinated development of Macao and Hengqin, as well as the cultural integration between the two places. For example, the Macau New Neighbourhood project in Hengqin represents a significant development. The Hengqin-Macao Youth Entrepreneurship Valley also offers great development opportunities for young people in the two places. Hengqin’s natural landscape and culinary culture also add to its appeal. Ng’s film shows the bright future of Macao and Hengqin, aiming to captivate audiences with the charm of Hengqin.

The competition was organised by the Education and Youth Development Bureau, presented by the Macao Basic Law Youth Promotion Ambassador Association, and supported by the Centre for Constitutional Law and Basic Law Studies in the UM Faculty of Law and the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ Research Centre of Macao Polytechnic University. It attracted the participation of students from 22 universities in Macao and mainland China. The film entries focused on six themes: the constitutional responsibility of the Macao SAR to safeguard national security, integration into the overall development of the country, reflections on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the country and the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland, my life in Macao and Hengqin, Macao Basic Law as the guardian of Macao’s prosperity and stability, and national security as the prerequisite and foundation for Macao’s social stability and the well-being of its residents, which highlighted the significance of the Constitution and the Basic Law of Macao and their impact on the lives of young people.
