On July 31st, the Cross-Strait, Hong Kong and Macao Animation New Wave Greater Bay Area (GBA) Creation Camp, themed "Strolling through the GBA, Painting a Smart New Future", successfully concluded at the Zhiku Workshop in Yangcheng Creative Industrial Park. This event was jointly organized by Yangcheng Evening News Group and Guangdong Cartoonists Association (GDCA).

After a four-day field trip and co-creation tour in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, over 60 university students and young artists from Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan unleashed their creativity on the two themes of "AI Empowerment: Cyber GBA" and "A Dialogue Across Mountains and Seas," delivering a series of imaginative works.
Hong Kong student Chen Qiting and Taiwanese student Chen Qingyun, both studying at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (GAFA), teamed up to create the comic "New Technology in GBA, Preserving Old Warmth." They were inspired by the smart robots they saw during a visit. "Smart pets can give us the same warm companionship, and they never die," they said. "We started imagining them staying with us as we grow old. The fast‑growing technology in the GBA makes that kind of gentle companionship and memory last."

Macao student Wang Binfeng also drew inspiration from humanoid robots to create an illustration titled "King of Fighters." With a unique perspective, the piece features Shenzhen city landmarks, drones, and futuristic architecture, showcasing the technological charm and urban vitality of the GBA's rapid development.
Taiwanese student Huang Miqi formed close friendships with her mentors and fellow campers during the art camp. Her comic, "Even Across Mountains and Seas, Our Thoughts and Words Can Still Reach One Another," captures everyday moments at the camp and preserves those precious memories. Huang said, "A group of art lovers traveled across mountains and seas to the GBA for this camp. Distance is no longer a barrier. When people from five different places come together, their artistic hearts truly connect."

The closing ceremony brought together many renowned figures, including Jin Cheng, Chairman of the GDCA, Liu Pingyun, Dean of the School of Visual Arts and Design of GAFA, and Wen Shaolun, Vice President of the Hong Kong Comics and Animation Federation (HKCAF). The camp participants delivered outstanding works full of emotion and creativity. Finally, after evaluation and selection by the mentor panel, several awards were presented, such as "Theme of the Year Award," "Best Creative Award," "Best Story Award," "Most Promising Award," and "Mentor's Commendation Award."
