"Old Mei Tou, your knowledge is so good that we can't compare with it. This is of course our hometown. Forty years ago, I came here and carried bags on the dock. I worked there for twenty years. I found a wife and had children.
Of course this is my home, but I can’t forget my brothers and sisters in my hometown, and I don’t believe you can forget your friends in your hometown. Anyway, I will still visit my hometown in this life, and even seeing an old tree is worth it!”
The two old men have different views on Hong Kong Island and their hometown.
The conversation between the two parties revealed a very real issue, which is Hong Kong Island's sense of identity with the country. This is true even for older people, let alone young people.
Liu Lang and his group were listening to the conversation. Molan grew up in the United States and was far away from the country, but she had a deep affection for the country. It was not because of how well educated her parents were, but because of how well educated her parents were.
The status of Chinese in the United States is very low and they are always excluded. There are many reasons why Chinese are excluded, the most important of which is
One point is that the status of their motherland is not high, and their sense of identity is closely related to the strength of the country. Overseas Chinese have an inseparable connection with their motherland. Of course, there are also some people who want to completely disconnect from their motherland and do not identify with themselves in terms of identity.
For the Chinese, this choice is actually understandable for them.
Hong Kong Island is different. This place is too close to the mainland and there is no sense of distance. At the same time, the majority of people are locals and there is no racial concept. In addition, the people are also very wealthy. The "comfortable" environment has made them ignore the country for many years.
The impact on them is that the country is really a "dispensable" existence for them.
This idea is undoubtedly wrong. On the contrary, the influence of the country's Hong Kong Island is very large, even to the point where it is everywhere and moistens everything silently. Is there fresh water on Hong Kong Island? Is there fresh vegetables? Is there enough food and meat?
Is it similar? If Hong Kong Island is a small island with only a few hundred thousand people, he
We are self-sufficient, but Hong Kong Island, a small land of only 1,000 square kilometers, has a population of 7 million. How can there be enough place to provide the living needs of such a large population? Without the support of the motherland, let alone
As the economy develops, even eating and drinking water becomes a big problem.
Are these considered small things? It can be said that eating, drinking, drinking, and having diarrhea do seem to be small things. It seems that no one cares about these small things. But if these things are not solved, then this society will definitely be in chaos, and it will even be impossible for people to survive.
There is no guarantee, how can this be a trivial matter?
Liu Lang and others were listening on the sidelines and did not refute each other. The feelings for the country cannot be taught, but must be truly felt with the heart. Fortunately, the country has formulated a package plan, all of which are plans to let Hong Kong Island "take advantage"
, by then everyone will know: How happy it will be to fall into the embrace of the motherland.
Many people are more of a bystander towards the return, but for those businessmen, the return is a big event. Patriotic businessmen like Huo Lao and Shao Lao truly understand the importance of a country to everyone. During this period
People from all walks of life in Hong Kong expressed their opinions publicly and celebrated individually. Liu Lang had just arrived.
He was invited to participate in the event. Every time he appeared, he became the center of attention. People from all walks of life came over to "show their hospitality". Not only was Liu Lang's status as a powerful enemy of the country, but what everyone valued more was the relationship between Liu Lang and the country. Many people
Everyone knows that Liu Lang has an irreplaceable position in the eyes of the country's top leaders.
This is not a fantasy, just look at the Huo family. Ever since the Huo family established a relationship with Liu Lang, it has been going smoothly over the years. Who in the mainland would not give them face?
Of course, other rich people are also well respected in the mainland, but they are far less popular than the Huo family. In addition, judging from the news revealed by some gossips, Norinco is Liu Lang's company in the mainland, and this company has recently become...
Incredibly, it has produced world-class CNC machine tools, which have a huge influence on the national industry.
Getting involved in industry is not something that ordinary businessmen can do. It must be done by those who have close ties with the country. This shows how powerful Liu Lang is.
So Liu Lang felt really tired these past two days. Being with these people every day was not as comfortable as being with his own employees, but there was nothing he could do.
Until the first two days before the handover, Hong Kong Island's entertainment activities suddenly disappeared, because the real protagonist was about to appear.
High-level officials from the country have come to Hong Kong Island and have begun to meet people from all walks of life. At the same time, various government departments are also making preparations before the return. On the surface, everything in society is normal, but privately, I don’t know how many people are busy day and night. Everyone
Everyone is waiting for that day to come.
The reporters of Asia International Satellite TV were almost crazy with their work. Moran personally took charge and sent five reporting teams to follow up and report on multiple targets. Some were following up on the British troops, reporting on the national troops, and reporting on the grassroots people. Of course, in the end,
What matters is the coverage of the return ceremony.
In the past few days, Asia International Satellite TV has begun to report continuously for fifteen hours a day, especially the troops stationed on the island, which are considered mysterious by the outside world. Asia International Satellite TV specially sent a team into the barracks to record the lives of the soldiers every day.
I know that only Asia International Satellite TV can obtain this qualification on Hong Kong Island, and no other TV stations have obtained permission.
Asia International Satellite TV's special correspondent went deep into the camp and reported all aspects of the officers and soldiers. When the people of Hong Kong Island saw on TV the place where the officers and soldiers lived, they were dumbfounded. The beds where everyone stayed were stacked squarely. Seen from a distance,
I used to think it was a box.
The reporter also specifically asked the officers and soldiers what they meant by doing this.
The officers and soldiers smiled and said: This is discipline and spirit. We treat everything this way.
Finally, the time came to June 30, 1997. Just after the afternoon, Liu Lang and a large group of people came to the Victoria Convention and Exhibition Center, where everyone would witness this historical moment.
Liu Lang attended the ceremony as a guest. Representatives from more than 40 countries and regions, heads of 30 international and regional organizations, and internationally renowned politicians, as well as representatives from more than 90 countries stationed on Hong Kong Island, were invited to attend.
Representatives of consular agencies and representatives of some countries’ civil society organizations, regional and international organizations’ offices in Hong Kong.
People from all walks of life on Hong Kong Island, compatriots from Macao and Taiwan, and overseas Chinese from more than 30 countries and regions also attended the handover ceremony.
At the same time, more than a thousand reporters from more than 700 news media around the world covered this historic scene.
Liu Lang's position is very forward, and the flagpole is less than 20 meters in front of him. He can see it clearly. If you want to chat with more like-minded people about the rise of a powerful country in Rebirth 190, follow "Youdu" on WeChat.
