Vice-Premier Li Keqiang met with renowned contemporary Sinologist Professor Jao Tsung-I on the last day of his Hong Kong visit today.
 
Prior to the University of Hong Kong centenary ceremony today, Mr Li called on Prof Jao on the university campus.
 
Saying he was pleased to see Prof Jao in good health, Mr Li commended him for his great achievements in Sinology, calligraphy and Chinese painting.
 
He said Prof Jao had not only inherited and enhanced Chinese culture, but also contributed to the “going out” of Chinese culture to the world and promoted global civilisation exchanges.
 
Prof Jao presented to Mr Li two of his written books and his lotus painting. Mr Li in return presented a set of five writing brushes produced by the national museum to Prof Jao.
