contents We present a forward-modeling framework to forecast the galaxies detected in the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST) spectroscopic survey and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) HI survey. Starting from the L-Galaxies 2020 semi-analytic model run on the Millennium-II N-body simulation (MS-II), the cold gas in galaxies is partitioned into atomic and molecular components self-consistently within the model. We further model the emission-lines (H $α$, H $β$, O III) relevant for the slitless spectrograph of the CSST in a post-processing step. We construct mock lightcones using the Mock Map Facility (MoMaF) approach, simulating the neutral hydrogen (HI) data cubes representing a 2000 hour SKA-Mid spectral line observation from redshifts 0.25--0.5, and employ the Source Finding Application 2(SOFIA-2) source-finding package to generate an HI galaxy catalog. In parallel, we apply the CSST selection function and noise model to obtain a realistic catalog of emission-line galaxies; the emission-line signal is proportional to the star formation rate. These products allow us to cross compare the galaxy samples and assess the synergy between CSST and SKA. We study the correlations of the HI and the emission-line signal with the halo mass, HI mass, and the stellar mass, and the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR). We also perform stacking analysis of the HI signal from the CSST-selected sample, which probes the HI content in galaxies with low HI mass. Finally, we derive the optical-HI cross-correlation power spectrum of the galaxies, and measure the bias of these galaxies. These results can provide useful insight on the cold gas and stellar content of the galaxies.
