"return!"
"Return successful!!!"
“It’s the return of peace!!!”
motherland.
Mainland.
One billion compatriots celebrate nationwide! The whole country is in a state of excitement!
Huge sounds and cheers came from countless buildings and houses!
This is an honor that belongs to every Chinese!
Today, the Chinese people who have experienced the handover celebration will never forget the scenes, nor will they forget the face with the corner of his clothes lifted up...
"Crash!"
Exhibition Center.
Lobby.
Zhuang Shikai raised his hands and applauded.
The CEO, Vice President, and Chinese representatives stood on the stage and applauded.
Every guest at the meeting stood up and applauded.
The whole audience burst into congratulatory applause!
Rong and sacrifice.
National affairs.
The expansion of territory and the recovery of lost territory have always been dynastic ceremonies, and grand sacrifices have to be held.
Homecoming celebration tonight.
It is a ritual with the meaning of "sacrifice". It should be seen not only by the compatriots of the nation, but also by the people of the world. It has long gone beyond the ordinary meaning of "sacrifice" and has become more profound.
It’s also grander.
At this time, the daughter of the Hong Kong Governor buried her head on her father's shoulder and cried.
The emotions shown by the girl were more obvious.
Don't know how to cover up.
Melis looked reminiscing, patting her daughter's shoulder gently, looking at the lively scene below, feeling helpless in her heart.
Why is the daughter of the Hong Kong Governor crying?
Are you still crying for losing the dominance of Hong Kong Island and losing your family’s rights on Hong Kong Island?
These are wolf tears.
Melis was also saddened by losing the sovereignty of Hong Kong Island and witnessing the loneliness of his ancestral family, but he also knew that the loss of his ancestral family had nothing to do with one person's rule or one person's efforts...
This is the process of history!
The foreshadowing was laid more than a hundred years ago.
The rise of another great country is also a historical process, but it is a national miracle achieved by the Chinese nation, which swept away two thousand years of feudal dynasty and transformed itself, relying on its own hard work and blood and sweat!
do not Cry.
baby.
They are laughing...
Melis thought to himself: "Besides, there's no point in crying."
At this time, Charles bowed his head and remained silent beside him, as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of weight on his neck, making him unable to lift his head.
That’s the weight of a billion people!
At this moment, officers and soldiers of the three armies of the Hong Kong Garrison rushed to and arrived at various camps of the British garrison to formally take over the defense of the entire territory.
At the same time, the troops of both sides officially conducted a defense handover ceremony!
In front of the Stonecutters Naval Base, the British flag was lowered and the Chinese flag was raised. The delegations from both sides lined up and stood facing each other.
"Boom!"
As soon as the zero o'clock bell rang, the lieutenant colonel leader of the Chinese delegation stood at attention and saluted, raised his hand and shouted: "I take over the military camp on behalf of the Chinese RMJF Army Hong Kong Garrison! You can lay off, and we will take up the post. I wish you a safe journey!"
I saw the lieutenant colonel commander looking majestic, with a straight posture, wearing a green military uniform, and his roaring voice was full of energy.
"Crack!"
The captain and colonel of the British delegation stood at attention and saluted, with a deep look in his eyes and raised his hand in response.
…
"Change!!!"
police department.
The main door of the General Administration.
Cai Yuanqi, wearing a white uniform, stood at attention at the front.
Zhuo Jingquan, Zeng Xiangrong, Chen Jiaju, Guan Li and other police officers in white uniforms stood in the back and lined up.
Further behind are a group of inspectors, uniformed groups, etc...
At this time, as Cai Yuanqi led the team with a roar, all the police officers faced the red flag of the motherland flying on the flag stand in front of them. The SAR flag stood at attention, and then took off their police hats at the same time and put them in their hands...
At this moment, all the police officers took out the motherland police emblem that had been prepared long ago, took off the Royal Police emblem on the police caps, then installed the motherland police emblem very solemnly, and finally put the Royal Police emblem into their pockets...
The uniform epaulettes on their bodies had been replaced by SAR police epaulettes before they lined up to change their uniforms!
"Wow!" All the police officers put on their motherland police hats at the same time, stood at attention and let out a mighty echo!
"Crack!" All the police officers saluted the flag of the motherland and paid attention!
At this moment, police officers in all police stations, streets and locations in Hong Kong have completed their uniform changes.
The TV station's photographers not only recorded the defense handover ceremony of the Stonecutters Naval Base, but also the police uniform change ceremony at the Police Headquarters...
At midnight that night.
The British garrison in the "Stonecutters Island Naval Base" completed the handover ceremony and immediately picked up their packages and boarded the warship HMS Britannia to leave the port and go home. The garrison troops in Hong Kong took over the entire military camp.
The remaining British army soldiers have already gone to Kai Tak Airport and will take British transport planes back to their ancestral homes from early morning to morning.
The Air Force of the Hong Kong Garrison "protected" the British transport crew throughout the entire process until all personnel evacuated the national airspace.
…
"Master Zhuang, the police force has finished changing their uniforms." At this time, Meako walked into the venue wearing a short skirt, quietly walked around a row of chairs, squatted in front of Master Zhuang and reported, "The British garrison has officially withdrawn."
From this moment on, the CEO took the stage to announce to the world the establishment of the "Special Administrative Region Government", explaining to the world the determination and attitude of our government, and unabashedly showing the joy of the Chinese people to the people of the world.
From this moment on, China officially exercises sovereignty!
At the same time, the CEO also announced a series of basic policies of the Hong Kong SAR government, personnel appointments, stability guidelines, etc...
Among the most important appointments, Mr. Tung is appointed as the first chief executive of the SAR, and Mr. Zhuang is appointed as the commissioner of police...
"Got it." Zhuang Shikai nodded slightly to Meiko, then looked at the podium again, listening to the speeches of the great powers and their development policies.
This kind of occasion is extremely rare. Every sentence and every word is related to the development and changes of Hong Kong Island in the next few decades.
Even most compatriots in front of the TV regard the raising of the national flag as the end of the celebration.
But for politicians, the highlight is the boss’s speech next!
There are rules, bottom lines, and prospects inside and outside these words. It not only depicts a blueprint for future interests, but also tells everyone what can and cannot be done.
Something must be done!
It doesn't matter that the people are all going to drink and celebrate at this time.
He's a fool if he doesn't listen carefully.
Of course, he was able to sit in the front row of the handover celebration and listen to live speeches, while some people could only sit in a house in Victoria Peak and watch TV... Gee, the gap between tycoons and tycoons is really big!
After Meako finished her report, she leaned over and left the scene...
It’s okay for her to show up a little bit.
She doesn't deserve to show up all the time.
For about an hour, various Chinese spokespersons gave a complete explanation of the events surrounding the return of the SAR.
The homecoming celebration is over!
The TV screen in the mainland of the country switched from the scene to the recording studio, and some insignificant introductions and interpretations began.
One o'clock.
The audience fell asleep one after another...
The reporters and guests in the venue left...
The staff began to pack things.
A group of invited SAR chiefs, patriots, and people from the motherland followed the people of the motherland and moved to the banquet hall on the third floor, where a grand homecoming dinner was about to be held.
On this day, many hotels, clubs and celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong are holding handover dinners to celebrate Hong Kong Island's return to the embrace of the motherland.
No matter if you are really happy or fake.
Not celebrating?
Don’t think about being happy anymore!
However, at those low-standard comeback dinners, most of the guests were small bosses, big bosses, district councilors, country squires, etc.
The Handover Dinner held at the Convention and Exhibition Center is the highest-profile Handover Dinner in Hong Kong!
This group of people all came from the return ceremony in person. In addition, not everyone who participated in the return celebration was eligible to attend the return dinner downstairs.
After all, the return celebration needs to be witnessed by people from all walks of life, and more people from the society will be invited. However, two-thirds of the people were immediately excluded from the return dinner, leaving only one-third of the people in the "power center" to participate in the "party."
You know, the format of a gathering can be different from a celebration.
The celebration is open to the whole world, while the gathering is a small circle, a private gathering for some people... This will eliminate countless people!
The boss will attend the dinner.
This is an opportunity for him to get to know most of the senior officials of the SAR government. It is also an opportunity for the vast majority of people in the SAR government to meet, chat, chat, and shake hands with the boss.
It's like a small gathering in the early days of "opening the mansion".
Used to recognize faces...
You know, not every SAR chief is qualified to meet the "boss" in private, chat with him, and drink tea.
That is to say, the head of civil servants and the head of military attachés.
The two of them only have a chance.
At this time.
Return dinner.
Holding a glass of water, the boss, accompanied by a group of secretaries and entourage, greeted the SAR officials cordially and personally told them about the national responsibilities they shouldered.
The SAR officials lined up with glasses of red wine to chat with the bosses and did not dare to drink more.
Those who had not yet had their turn gathered in small circles and chatted and laughed with each other.
Whoever the boss wants to see will naturally come over. No one dares to come up and surround the boss. That would be too rude.
Of course, everyone waited in line silently, and no one really came to have late-night snacks or drink red wine.
Zhuang Shikai was quite special. He was holding a red wine glass, holding the rim of the glass with his five fingers, standing in front of the window, swaying the red wine glass, and quietly looking out at the fireworks blooming outside the window.
Fireworks have different shapes, including normal circular falling, and dynamic fireworks such as "the fetus returns to the mother's arms" and "the redbud flowers slowly bloom".
There is something beautiful about admiring it alone.
"Salena arranged it well."
Zhuang Shikai raised his red wine glass and took a sip of wine, with a slight smile on his lips.
The large-scale fireworks celebrations at various ports in Hong Kong are all organized by Shih Hing Group, with a total cost of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
If you spend more than 10 million yuan, there may be some profit, but it's just a little bit of face.
But Mr. Zhuang is not short of face at all. For Mr. Zhuang, there is no real benefit at all.
Just trying to have fun.
Fireworks are all produced on Hong Kong Island, and many are ordered from the mainland, which somewhat supports the mainland economy.
"Zhuang Sheng!" Zhuang Shikai had just finished drinking a glass of wine when a cry came from behind him.
"Sheng Dong." Zhuang Shikai turned around and saw Chief Executive Dong approaching with the boss, naturally accompanied by his secretary and others...
"Boss." Zhuang Shikai nodded and greeted softly.
At the same time, he put the empty wine glass on the plate of a passing waiter. The passing waiter bowed slightly and prepared to leave.
But the boss raised his hand and said with a smile: "Keep drinking! Why don't you drink when I come? Then wouldn't I spoil the enjoyment of the comrades?"
The waiter stopped immediately.
"Director Zhuang should drink a few more drinks if he is happy."
The boss was the first to pick up a glass of red wine on the plate: "I'm happy! Then I should also have a drink with Director Zhuang and Mr. Dong!"
