As the 24^th anniversary of Macao’s Handover to China is approaching, Student Group for Nurturing the Spirit of Loving our Country and Macao of Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau initiated to shoot a Music Video (MV) using sign language, signing “Joining Together as One Family” at the Mandarin’s House, a world cultural heritage site in Macau. The group used music and sign language as an emotional carrier, conveying the message that after Macao’s handover to China, it became one family with the motherland, and the family and the country rejoiced together.

​On 3^rd December 2023, the MV production crew arrived at the Mandarin’s House at 10 a.m., and specially selected the locations for filming at the Moon Gate, Sedan Way and Front Courtyard in accordance with the lyrics to ensure the best presentation of the artistic conception of the lyrics. This MV was produced under the guidance of Resident Fellow, Alice Hong, filmed and edited by Resident Tutor, Jennifer Lu. Sign language teaching is provided by sign language interpreters, Mr. Fong Weng Man and Ms. Li Jia Yi from the Macau Deaf Association.

Here, on behalf of MCM College, we would like to present the sign language song, “Joining Together As One Family” and wish Macao, the “Lotus Land”, prosperity!
