Near midnight, sovereignty handover ceremonies began in various places. Every place was solemn and solemn, and preparations were made to raise the national flag and play the national anthem.
At 10:25 p.m., the world's attention focused on the Prince of Wales Barracks on Hong Kong Island.
More than two hundred Chinese and foreign reporters have already taken out their "long guns and short cannons" and aimed at the handover site. Thousands of Hong Kong residents around the camp are looking forward to it with excitement.
At 11:58, a British lieutenant colonel saluted to our army lieutenant colonel Tan Ai and reported, "Lieutenant colonel Tan Ai, the Welsh barracks are now ready. Please accept it. I wish you and your colleagues good luck and a smooth start. Sir."
, please allow me to lay off the Prince of Wales Barracks Guards!"
Lieutenant Colonel Tan Ai shouted a sentence that shocked the whole world. On behalf of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Garrison in Hong Kong Island, I took over the barracks. You can lay off, and we will take up the post. I wish you a safe journey!
Almost simultaneously with the withdrawal of the British troops, Zhang Hongtao commanded the flag guard to march towards the flagpole. At 0:00 on July 1st, the flag of the People's Republic of China was hoisted at the Prince of Wales Barracks. At the same time, all police officers on Hong Kong Island were replaced
Police badge, they have since become Hong Kong Island's own law enforcement force.
And where is Liu Lang at this moment?......
At 23:56 on June 30, flag bearers from China and the UK entered the scene, lowered the flags symbolizing the handover of power between the two governments, and the flag-raising ceremony began.
All the Chinese and foreign guests attending the ceremony stood up, and all eyes were focused on the flagpoles erected on the east and west sides of the rostrum in front of the main stage.
At 23:59, the British flag and the Hong Kong flag slowly lowered to the music of the British national anthem. As the "Universal Union Flag" slowly lowered, a century of British colonial rule on Hong Kong Island came to an end.
At 0:00 on July 1, 1997, the exciting and sacred moment finally arrived at the Convention and Exhibition Center. The Chinese flag and the Hong Kong regional flag were hoisted. The Chinese People's Liberation Army military band played the majestic national anthem of the People's Republic of China. The national flag of the People's Republic of China and
The regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region slowly rose together.
The whole place was in an uproar, with many people's eyes filled with tears of excitement, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time. The cameras and camera lenses kept flashing to record this solemn historical moment, and Liu Lang was already in tears.
I can't help myself.
Then, the national leader walked to the podium inlaid with the national emblem of the People's Republic of China and delivered a speech. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China was officially established. This is a grand event for the Chinese nation and a victory for the cause of world peace and justice. This day will be regarded as a worthy
The day that people will remember forever will be recorded in the annals of history, and thunderous applause once again erupted from the scene.
Although it was already early in the morning, hundreds of millions of people in various parts of the country were sitting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast, especially in the capital, Shanghai and other big cities. Countless people poured into the streets singing and dancing, and the sky was blooming.
Gorgeous fireworks, this is a major event for people across the country, and everyone is blessing Hong Kong Island.
Some people were happy while others were "sad". The most "sad" was the last Governor-General Bothen. Just after the return ceremony, he and the British prince boarded a cruise ship, and his whole family walked on.
Nowadays, Boten is quite lonely. In his previous life, he did some things during his tenure. To put it bluntly, he dug a lot of "holes". These "holes" caused immeasurable losses to the country and also contributed to his political failure.
There is a lot of capital accumulated in the UK.
But this life is different. The country's "decolonization" has disrupted all his plans. Even the "special passes" issued to Hong Kong elites were exposed by Asia International TV. This "despicable" behavior made the British
The government was so disgraced that it had no choice but to make Boten the scapegoat.
This guy's "administration" is so poor, I'm afraid he didn't get any capital, and there is a high probability that he will be hidden in the snow when he returns.
Bo Teng came to Hong Kong Island a few years ago with high spirits and wanted to make a big difference in Hong Kong Island. Now he can only leave here in despair. He doesn't know that all this is Liu Lang's "conspiracy". It is estimated that he will spend his whole life
There is no way to know the truth.
The return of Hong Kong Island excited people across the country, and their sense of honor was overwhelming. The country also specially made a documentary about the 19 years of reform and opening up.
What was the country like nineteen years ago? At that time, the average annual income of the people was only four to five hundred yuan, and there was not even a car on the street. Today, nineteen years later, the average national income has exceeded five hundred yuan.
Thousand yuan, his income has increased tenfold, and cars can be seen passing by on the streets, including many "luxury cars" from the island nation of the United States.
Especially in the capital, you can sometimes see super sports cars like Ferrari, one worth more than two million, and it is said that there are as many as three in the entire capital.
People cannot feel this change when they are living in it, but when they look back, they will find that the changes in the past nineteen years have been so great that they cannot believe what happened.
Especially for Liu Lang, who was reborn in the first life, the contrast between the two lives is even more obvious. The country in this life is less impetuous and more focused. Especially the industrial industry has become much stronger after a series of corporate reforms. In the previous life, the country was less impetuous and more focused.
During this period, many manufacturing companies went bankrupt and auctioned.
Especially in Northern Liaoning Province, it was originally an old industrial base. Due to its low technical level, a large number of manufacturing enterprises could no longer survive in the late 1990s. They first tried to transform themselves, and some successfully transformed them, but these enterprises were more profitable.
No one pays attention to the enterprises that are already insolvent. Even the enterprises that have been transformed are all street-run or village-run collective enterprises. How can anyone afford to buy a slightly larger one?
The bankruptcy of a large number of companies caused the industry in northern Liaoning Province to collapse instantly. Tienan District, the most famous old industrial zone in Shencheng, declined during this period. A large number of workers were laid off and the economy declined. This situation was similar to that of Fucheng in the previous life.
It's just that Fucheng relies more on coal mines, and Shencheng
Shenyang is the provincial capital city, and its inherent advantages are not comparable to that of Fucheng. But even so, Shencheng's economy is not as good as before, and it will never regain its position as the big brother. Of course, the reasons for this are very complicated, not only
There are industrial issues, but industry is definitely the primary issue.
Industry not only caused Shencheng's economic decline, but the greater impact was that the entire country lost an old industrial base and a large number of industrial workers. This loss is even greater and cannot be compensated.
Later, the country proposed a plan to revitalize the Northeast, regain industrial modernization, and build industrial intelligence. However, at that time, the industrial level in the north was already different from what it used to be. How could we do it if there were no industrial workers?
