There are many reasons why Hong Kong can become an international cultural center.
Zhao, general manager of Jicoo Zhai Co., Ltd. believes that among many reasons, "one country, two systems" makes Hong Kong's culture more diverse and rich, which is Hong Kong's greatest advantage and feature.
Shi, assistant to the general manager of Jicoo Zhai, has been in contact with culture and art for 20 years. He said that the purchasing power of mainland guests has driven the cultural trading market in Hong Kong, especially since 2003, and the Hong Kong market has been rising steadily until around 20 1 1.
At present, the word "cultural desert" is no longer heard in Hong Kong's cultural market, which is characterized by pluralism and a hundred schools of thought contend. People will describe it as "cultural oasis", "cultural wetland" and "cultural exchange center".
Shi Ziqing, the 78-year-old president of the China Calligraphers Association Hong Kong Branch, said: "Hong Kong has always been the exchange center of eastern and western cultures, and the term' cultural desert' underestimates the foundation of Hong Kong's traditional culture and art."
