the longest dream

Chapter 308
At [-]:[-], the new wing of the Hong Kong Island Convention and Exhibition Center was brightly lit.

When Zhang Qing and his party came in, they took cards to look for seats, and the ten seats in the thirteenth row were all theirs.

Looking ahead again, I saw Qi Juan sitting in the second row of the presidium with Gu Weihong, and the old lady and several big leaders of Tianzi sat in the first row.

Tsk, no comparison.

"Why are there so many people..."

Looking at the black crowd that was almost countless, Li Chudong breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Qing read the report and said with a smile: "Representatives from more than [-] countries or regions, heads of more than [-] international and regional organizations, consular representatives in Hong Kong from more than [-] countries, and more than [-] people from all over the world A reporter sent by a number of media. Be honest, or if you make a fool of yourself here, it will really become an international laughingstock."

Right now, the lobby is full of voices, and voices are everywhere.

In the center of the auditorium, the British flag and the Bauhinia regional flag are flying for the time being.

At 23 o'clock, the atmosphere began to change.

The voice of the conversation gradually became quieter, and without the need for the venue personnel to maintain order, most of the people sat down safely.

By 23:30, the huge hall and the exhibition hall with thousands of people were completely silent.

Twelve minutes later, the handover ceremony officially began.

At 23:56, the Chinese and British flag guards entered the arena, symbolizing the beginning of the flag-lowering and flag-raising ceremony for the handover of Hong Kong Island between the two governments.

All Chinese and foreign guests present stand up!
At 23:59, the Union Jack flag and the Hong Kong Island regional flag slowly descended from the flagpole.

But in the end something went wrong...

也不知是不是故意的，或许是想临走前恶心中国一把，英国米字旗按规定是在23时59分57秒时落下，给中国护旗队三秒钟准备时间后，于1997年7月1日0时0分0秒准时升起。

But the Mi Ziqi unexpectedly fell twelve seconds earlier.

By the way, I checked the watch, and pulled Jin Xing's watch to look at it. Yes, it was twelve seconds ahead of schedule, and Zhang Qing's face changed instantly.

Diplomacy is no small matter.

If the Mi Ziqi is landed and the five-star red flag is raised according to the rhythm, then the national flag of China will be raised [-] seconds earlier, so what is the effort of the previous [-] years?

We strictly abide by the time in order to establish a "trust" in the international community.

One more thing, in fact, Hong Kong Island wants to take it back, and it can be taken back when the country was founded!
On the Yangtze River, even the British gunboats can snipe, and the Allied Forces of the Sixteen Nations of Silla can also hit it. Can't you take back a small island that even needs water from the mainland?

It's just that the leaders took a long-term view and left a hole alive.

If we want to integrate into the mainstream of the world dominated by the West and develop our economy, we are willing to compromise and abide by the rules you set.

It's hard work to taste the courage, the ancestors gave us a drill two thousand years ago.

But unexpectedly, even so, these Xiyi people still played tricks.

Fortunately, the guard of honor also discovered this and made timely adjustments.

When the preparation time changed from 12 seconds to 0:0:0, the national anthem sounded on time, and with the flag guards waving suddenly, the five-star red flag rose along with the national anthem.

At this moment, I don’t know how many Chinese and overseas Chinese present, including the elderly compatriots in Macau and Wanwan, all of them burst into tears, even on the spot!

Only then did they truly understand that the motherland has come to this point and achieved such great achievements, how many hardships and humiliations it has endured before it finally grows stronger, so that the western powers can no longer conquer with warships and cannons!

At 04 points, the leader made a speech.

At 12 minutes, the handover ceremony officially ended.

The show is over, but the leaders will also attend the "Dragon's Glory" live broadcast party held by Wireless Jade Channel!

……

Instead of taking the elevator, the group went down the stairs to the fifth floor. Looking at Li Chudong who was still wiping away tears, everyone did not laugh.

As long as there is still some righteousness of the country and the nation in their hearts, they will not be touched lightly today.

Although they have not experienced the darkest days of the Chinese nation, they may as well respect the martyrs.

Although they are all classmates and teenagers in their prime, their courage is obviously not comparable to that of the leader.

When the leader was young, he dared to dung the dirt, because his old man had the fearless spirit of "sacrificing so much ambition, daring to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky".

But Zhang Qing boasted that he didn't, and the hardships he endured while farming at home were almost unbearable for him, not to mention other...

Therefore, just because they couldn't do the sacrifice and dedication of their predecessors, at this moment, they became more and more admired, moved, and proud! !

"Zhang Lan, Zhang Qian, Yueshan, Yueshui, and the weekend, you all have to remember this great moment today. After you go back, you must work hard and be a useful person to society."

Looking at the group of little guys who were more or less infected, but obviously eager to watch the singers sing, Zhang Qing taught seriously.

The children were more afraid of him, and they all nodded in response, but it's hard to say whether they can remember it in their hearts.

After going downstairs, I saw that there were guards in front of the exhibition center to maintain order, and arranged for vehicles to leave one after another. However, there were too many vehicles, and it would take at least an hour or two to finish walking in order.

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Fortunately, our car is outside, hurry up, otherwise there will be a big traffic jam."

"oops!"

Because she was walking in a hurry, Qiao Yue's high heels slipped and she let out a cry of pain, but fortunately she was closer to Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing didn't hear the sound right, so he quickly reached out to help her, which prevented her from falling down.

"How about it, did you twist your foot?"

Zhang Qing asked with concern, and other people gathered around, Qiao Yue turned pale, looked at Zhang Qing pitifully and said, "It hurts...I sprained it."

Zhang Qing squatted down and looked around, but didn't see anything, got up and said, "I'll ask the driver and Zhu Fen to take you back to Deep Water Bay to rest. If the pain is severe, call me and I'll arrange a doctor to see you."

Qiao Yue: "..."

Sun Xin complained: "Zhang Qing, won't you accompany me to send it back?"

Zhang Qing frowned and said: "This is a big circle of people, and there are still people from the company on the Jade Terrace. If I don't go, I don't have a backbone. I can't say that something will happen. It's okay if it's normal, but today's occasion is not the slightest I can't even go out, can I walk away?" After a pause, he said, "You can go! It happens to be my best friend, so I'm sure you'll be fine if you accompany me, go."

Sun Xin: "..."

"Okay, you guys support me a little bit, I can go. I don't want to watch this kind of excitement, I came back for nothing."

Qiao Yue said to Sun Xin and Kong Li.

Kong Li silently said to Zhang Qing: "You are finished!"

Then he went to help Qiao Yue with a smile.

Zhang Qing didn't say any more, and the group got into the car after going out, and went to the TVB headquarters building.

……

"Five thousand years of wind and rain, how many dreams are hidden
The yellow face and the black eyes remain a smile

Eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers are like a song
No matter where you come from and where you're going..."

On the stage, Zhao Mingyu sang "The Chinese" to a good start.

Gu Weihong saw that the old lady tapped on the armrest of the sofa with her fingers and started to beat. Knowing that she liked it, she introduced, "Mom, this is a song written by Juanzi."

The old lady nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I have always heard that she is very talented."

"Yeah yeah!!"

A fierce and surging prelude sounded, and some old people were so shocked that they wanted to touch the heart medicine in their pockets, and then saw three young people, two men and one woman, walking on the stage with various vigorous dance moves. The female singer sang loudly:
"There is a river in the far east, and its name is the Yangtze River.

There is a river in the far east, and its name is the Yellow River.

……

I grew up under the feet of the dragon, and when I grow up, I will be the descendant of the dragon.

With black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, he will always be the descendant of the dragon! ! "

"This song is not bad! It fits the occasion very well."

The big leader beside the old lady suddenly laughed.

Gu Weihong hurriedly said: "These three are American students studying in Huaqing. Many of their ancestors went back to reimburse their sacrifices during the Anti-Japanese War. The old man at home arranged for them to come back to study in order to witness the history of the return of Hong Kong Island today. Moments. They also specially asked Zhang Qing to invite them to sing, and Zhang Qing wrote them this song "Descendants of the Dragon"!"

The big leader smiled and said: "It seems that Zhang Qing is really a great musical genius! I like all the songs he wrote. Listen to the songs, listen to the songs."

Next, several superstars and veterans of Hong Kong Island sang, basically Cantonese songs.

The old lady couldn't understand Cantonese, so she asked Gu Weihong, "How long will it be over?"

Gu Weihong hurriedly said: "There is still an hour, Mom, wait a little longer."

The old lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a child. The old man's last wish is to witness this day, and I will persevere until the end no matter what."

Gu Weihong's eyes were a little red, and his heart was filled with endless regrets and regrets. It would be great if his father could live another year...

Qi Juan leaned a little forward in the back seat, and said, "Aunt Gu, Zhang Qing said there is a surprise show, and it should be coming soon."

Gu Weihong cheered up and said with a smile, "What good song did he write?"

Qi Juan shook her head and said, "I don't know either, let's see."

Another superstar went down amidst warm applause, but the next one to come on stage was a girl whom almost no one knew.

Such a singer can go on stage, and the audience below is a little restless.

However, as the melody sounded, everyone gradually became quiet...

"You are, the long way
Lights in the mountains and fog

I am a child, walking in your eyes
You are, Mingyue Qingfeng

I am your dream

Seeing or not seeing is a lifetime, hugging you..."

After the girl sang, a huge old photo suddenly appeared on the big screen where flowers were falling...

"And I will love the world you love
wish your smile
I'm staggering to hold your hand
please take me to tomorrow
If you ever bitter my sweetness
I would like to live your wish

May not be in vain, may be courageous

Every day in this prosperous world! ! "

With the sound of music, the photos on the screen began to flip. From the founding of the country to the present, great leaders appeared one after another, and finally they were frozen on the ancient kind and wise face...

"Mountains and rivers are safe, fireworks are unusual
But you wish to look
Children, sleep soundly

like you love

......"
