Hong Kong, 2024-07-17 - In a message to the city's youth, Chief Executive John Lee urged teenagers to focus on pursuing their dreams rather than solely relying on public housing. Lee emphasized that the potential rewards of following one's aspirations could vastly exceed the benefits of a public home.
"[They] should not have such a mindset," Lee said, acknowledging the importance of having a place to live, but stressing that youngsters should plan their lives based on their visions and ambitions. "I wish to build a Hong Kong that relies on families as the backbone. I believe you will have regrets if you waste your possibilities and dreams for just a public home."
The Chief Executive pointed out that an individual's ultimate achievements could be "100 times greater or even infinite" compared to what a public home can provide. He cited the example of a Hongkonger selected for the Chinese national space program, highlighting the city as a place where dreams can be realized.
Lee's remarks came after reporters inquired about a recent "lying flat" phenomenon, where some young people reportedly apply for public rental housing upon turning 18 and avoid seeking well-paying jobs to meet the income threshold. The Chief Executive firmly rejected this mindset, urging teenagers to pursue their passions and aspirations.
"Because it is very likely that your final achievements and results could be 100 times greater or even infinite compared to what a public home can bring to you," Lee emphasized.
The government, according to the Chief Executive, has been offering assistance to help teenagers purchase their own properties. Lee encouraged the youth to plan and develop their lives in line with their visions, reinforcing the belief that Hong Kong is a place where dreams can be pursued and realized.
追求你的夢想,不要只依賴公共房屋：行政長官李家超的建議
香港，2024年7月17日 - 在給香港青年的信息中，行政長官李家超敦促青少年把重心放在追求夢想上,而不是單單依靠公共房屋。李先生強調,追求理想的潛在回報可能遠遠超過擁有一套公共房屋的好處。
「他們不應該有這種心態」,李先生說,他承認擁有居所的重要性,但強調年輕人應該根據自己的願景和抱負來規劃人生。「我希望建設一個以家庭為中心的香港。我相信,如果你為了一套公屋而放棄機會和夢想,你日後會後悔。」
行政長首長指出,個人最終的成就可能「超過公屋100倍甚至無限」。他引用了一名被選入中國航天員行列的香港人為例,突出了香港是一個可以實現夢想的地方。
李先生的言論是在記者詢問關於最近出現的「躺平」現象後作出的。在這個現象中,一些年輕人在18歲時便申請公屋,並避免找到高收入的工作,以符合入息門檻。行政長官堅決反對這種心態,敦促青少年追求自己的熱情和抱負。
「因為你最終的成就和結果很可能會超過公屋100倍甚至無限」,李先生強調。
據行政長官介紹,政府一直在提供協助,幫助青少年購買自己的物業。李先生鼓勵年輕人根據自己的願景來規劃和發展人生,並重申香港是一個可以追求和實現夢想的地方。
