In fact, people across the country have been looking forward to this day since the Spring Festival this year. Banners and slogans welcoming the return can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The return of Hong Kong is of great significance to the Chinese people.
The land we were forced to lose a hundred years ago is finally returning to our mother's embrace today.
This not only represents the determination of the Chinese people to work hard to build socialism, but also publicly demonstrates to the world that we resolutely safeguard our country's territory and must not infringe.
Even the children realized that this was a very important matter from such an atmosphere of urgent expectation.
In the backstage makeup area of Rongcheng TV station, people started queuing up to put on makeup early in the morning.
The flower girl group is arranged at the end every year because they only need to go on stage to lay flowers at the moment after midnight of the party.
Compared with the tasks of other groups, it can be said to be very simple and leisurely.
But staying up late is also a big challenge for children who are only seven years old.
Because Li Manjun and Zhao Yong still had jobs in their respective companies, Li Jianjun led his niece to the TV station to queue up for makeup in the afternoon.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the party officially started.
Li Manjun and his wife each drove a car and rushed from their respective companies to meet at the gate of the TV station. The couple took the invitation and entered together.
The parking lot at the entrance was already overcrowded. The couple's car was parked in a private parking lot one kilometer away. By the time they reached the venue, the party had already started for more than half an hour.
Nian Nian wore stage makeup with red cheeks, a beauty mark between her eyebrows, and a uniform red plaid dress. Because she had short hair, she didn’t have a hairstyle.
Riemannmann and other children in the group wore high ponytails, and the rest of their makeup and clothing were the same.
The logistics team has prepared the flowers to be presented, and everyone is rehearsing in advance under the leadership of the teacher to avoid any accidents on stage.
After all, the real bouquets and the fake bouquets used for training are still different. Both the weight and shape are very different from the previous rehearsal.
She is the youngest, holding a large bouquet, with only a small rosy face showing.
After holding him for a while, he already showed a labored expression.
The teacher immediately reminded: "Pay attention to your expression management, smile, yes, smile!"
Li Jianjun stood aside and watched, feeling extremely distressed. He couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Can't we just use smaller bouquets? Isn't this going to trouble the children?"
When the parents next to me heard this, they secretly nodded in agreement, feeling that this kind of *** was a bit too formal and should be done in a more realistic way.
But thinking about this special day today, the parents are heartbroken but very supportive in practical actions.
Seeing that their children failed to hold the bouquet, the adults came out to teach them their experience.
"Look, your hands are stuck between the flower mud and the flower stem. Don't use your hands to support it. It would be much easier."
When the children tried it, they found that it was really like this, and every one of them smiled again.
Seeing that everyone was adapting well, the teacher waved his hand and asked everyone to go to the waiting area to rest. At about 11:30, they would be arranged to enter and take their seats.
Parents were also accompanying the performers backstage. There was only a curtain separated from the performance stage. Through the curtain, there was the last row of auditoriums, where all the staff on stage were busy controlling the venue.
Parents who want to watch the program can also watch it here.
Li Jianjun waved to his niece and took her to the auditorium to watch the show.
"Are you tired?" Li Jianjun asked with concern.
Nian Nian shook his head, very excited, "I'm not tired at all, but why haven't my parents come yet?"
"It's almost my turn to go on stage, and my parents haven't come yet. What if I miss it?" The little girl was very worried.
As everyone knows, there are still three hours before she takes the stage.
Li Jianjun coaxed her, "Hurry up, hurry up, you won't be unable to catch up."
Thinking about it, I should
It's about time, it's already half past eight, even if you work overtime, it should be over.
What's more, today is such an important day, and all state-owned units have taken a half-day holiday in advance to celebrate.
"Uncle, I want to drink water." Nian Nian said coquettishly.
Li Jianjun found an empty seat in the last row and arranged for her to sit in the aisle seat. Then he took off the water bottle hanging on his shoulder, opened the lid and handed it to her.
Nian Nian drank heavily and drank more than half of the bottle in one go. Li Jianjun hurriedly took it back and warned:
"What did the teacher just say? You can't drink too much water. If you want to go to the toilet when you go on stage, you'll be doomed."
It's quite a distance from the studio to the restroom, and there were so many people today that the queue to go to the restroom was quite long.
So try not to do it if you can.
Every year I have to agree, "Okay."
I couldn't help but ask again: "When will mom and dad come?"
"coming."
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong came over and sat down in the empty seats next to their uncle and nephew.
Nian Nian's eyes widened in surprise and she immediately wanted to call out to her parents. Li Manjun quickly made a shushing gesture and pointed at the lively stage in front of her.
Nian Nian immediately covered his mouth, nodded, slid down from his seat, ran into his mother's arms, and showed her her skirt and beauty mark.
Li Manjun gave her a thumbs up and praised her beauty in a low voice. She smiled with satisfaction every year. Then she went to her father and got the same thumbs up. She was so happy that she flew into the air.
The performance was exciting, but as the time gradually approached midnight, the audience became restless.
At 11:30, all performances were canceled and the big screen was put down to broadcast the central news live to watch the situation in Hong Kong.
Li Manjun was watching this in fascination when the choreographer came and called the children backstage to get ready to go on stage.
Every year, I was held in my father's arms and fell asleep early.
In order to keep her energetic in the middle of the night, I coaxed her to sleep first.
Now that the time was up, Zhao Yong shook his daughter, told her to wake up, and led her backstage.
Li Jianjun and Li Manjun stayed and continued watching the live broadcast.
At the last minute, a countdown clock was placed in the studio. As the numbers became smaller and smaller, people in the audience couldn't help but stand up, holding their breath and looking at the red flag that belonged to the Chinese only on the big screen.
Climb up the flagpole little by little and reach the top.
A gust of wind blew, and the bright flag slowly unfolded in the night sky, dazzlingly red.
Waves of cheers erupted on the field, and the hearts of the people across the country reached a resonance at this moment. As long as the people in this red land could not help but burst into tears.
When the national anthem sounded, the veterans walked onto the stage with the support of young people.
The flowers and bones of the motherland are holding flowers and dedicating them to these ancestors.
The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax again. People spontaneously saluted, expressed their gratitude, and sang the national anthem in unison. The singing echoed for a long time.
