Zhao Puchu has always paid great attention to the exchanges of the Buddhist communities between Chinese mainland and HongKong, Macao, and Taiwan. He devoted himself to the promotion of the peaceful reunification of China. One of his significant Buddhist activities in his later years was the escorting of a sarira (Buddha's tooth) to HongKong in May 1999. In this poem, Zhao spoke highly of the prosperity of HongKong after its return to China. Written by the 93-year-old gentleman, this work conveys an unaffected, relaxed mood through steady and decisive brushwork.
