Mini-drama spotlights Hong Kong five-year development plan

Summary

A two-minute episode of the government and TVB co-produced mini-drama Good Things in Hong Kong More Than Ever featured Shaun Tam Chun-yin (譚俊彥), Joey Law Tin-yu (羅天宇) and Moon Lau Hoi-yan (林凱恩) discussing Hong Kong’s first five-year plan, which Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu announced on September 16. The episode was broadcast last Saturday, September 19, and presented the plan as a medium- to long-term development blueprint aligned with the national 15th Five-Year Plan. Through a professor, an investment banker and an IT professional from Guangzhou, the script highlighted finance, innovation and technology, the Northern Metropolis and Greater Bay Area cooperation as major opportunities.

Key Points

  • Bastille Post said the mini-drama Good Things in Hong Kong More Than Ever was jointly produced by the government and TVB, with each episode running about two minutes.
  • In the September 19 episode, the three cast members discussed the first Hong Kong five-year plan announced by Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu on September 16.
  • The programme said the plan fully aligns with the national 15th Five-Year Plan and sets a precise medium- and long-term development blueprint for Hong Kong.
  • Dialogue in the episode focused on advancing the “four centres and one high ground”, including consolidating Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre.
  • The script also stressed the Northern Metropolis, three university towns and the Hetao Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Co-operation Zone as future economic engines.

Why It Matters

The episode shows how the government is using mass-market entertainment formats to explain policy priorities and connect them to jobs, investment and daily life. For Hong Kong audiences, the message is that the five-year plan is being framed not only as a policy document, but as a roadmap linking economic growth with livelihood improvements.
