"There is such a thing, if you don't say it, I really don't know. Gao Yuanyuan said in surprise, and then looked at Zeng Wei very seriously, feeling a little admired.

Although she is already a well-known film and television song in China, every time she is in front of Zeng Wei, she can always find the feeling of a little girl, which is also an important reason why she has always been infatuated with Zeng Wei.

Zeng Wei was a little embarrassed to see Gao Yuanyuan looking at him like this, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Victoria Harbour, which happened to be a trial fireworks on the opposite side, reflecting the entire night sky.

Seeing this, Zeng Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are a lot of fireworks this year!"

………………

More than 100 years ago, Lord Palmerston, the British Foreign Secretary, defined Hong Kong Island as a barren island that would never become a centre of trade.

However, the reality is completely different from his imagination, and for decades, the border fishing port of this small land has become a commercial miracle.

It is not only a world-class shipping center and a free trade port, but also a financial center in Asia and the Hollywood of the East.

Of course, all this is related to the closure of the mainland and the isolation and confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which made Hong Kong Island an important transit point, and it is also related to the political instability of Southeast Asian countries, including the free market economic system such as zero tariffs on Hong Kong Island.

However, the most important factor that makes Hong Kong Island successful is the spirit of Hong Kong Island's culture.

With this spirit, it is possible that all turbulence and fate will be here.

Although Hong Kong Island is small, it has a broad mind and a short history, but it has an elegant and restrained aristocratic atmosphere.

Liang Wendao once summarized it as a tribal social trait, and there is some truth to it, but it is this characteristic that allows them to quickly adapt to the changes of the times, and also helps them cultivate perseverance, diligence, and unique creativity, making it grow into a cultural distribution center that can accommodate the world.

Some people have also used the local vernacular to define the spirit of "getting it done", that is, any kind of advanced culture, after arriving on Hong Kong Island, will be handled by the local people.

Zeng Wei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Gao Yuanyuan, who had entered the flower season of life and was becoming more and more beautiful, with a throbbing feeling in his heart, and said: "Every mainland has a Hong Kong Island in their hearts. It is the Hong Kong Island of Cantonese songs and the Four Heavenly Kings, the Hong Kong Island of Wang Jiawei and "The True Story of A Fei"; the Hong Kong Island of "The True Colors of Heroes" and Fa Ge; the Hong Kong Island of the Troubled Boy, the Nonsensical and the Star Master; the Hong Kong Island of Lan Kwai Fong, Tsim Sha Tsui and Nathan Road; the Hong Kong Island of Tea Restaurants and Lemon Tea; the Hong Kong Island of Mui Tin Wai and her brother; the Hong Kong Island of Master Jin, Dragon Song and Martial Arts; the Hong Kong Island of gossip, paparazzi and entertainment; the Hong Kong Island of Li Chaoren and Huo Dajiao; of course, it is also the Hong Kong Island of Bauhinia and the trade center in people's minds. A financial center and a shopping paradise. ”

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Zeng Wei, who was talking eloquently, and asked, "So, what is Hong Kong Island in your mind?"

Zeng Wei smiled and said, "If I said that this is a place full of beautiful women, would you beat me?"

Gao Yuanyuan waved his pink fist at Zeng Wei, pretending to be vicious and said, "You say try it!"

Zeng Wei pretended to be scared and said: "I'm joking, most of those beauties on Hong Kong Island are blown up by the media, and compared to our family's beauty and roundness, they are simply floating clouds." ”

"I'm so happy you say that......" Gao Yuanyuan turned his worries into joy, and then kissed Zeng Wei on the cheek.

Zeng Wei touched his face a little intoxicated, and said: "My biggest shortcoming is that I like to tell the truth......

………………

On the evening of June 30, Zeng Wei and Gao Yuanyuan followed Yu Mingju and Yang Tianhou to participate in the return ceremony.

At 0:12 a.m., the handover ceremony ended.

During the handover ceremony, Zeng Wei also noticed a small episode in it, which expressed the British people's inaction and helplessness to leave Hong Kong Island.

According to the prior agreement, 20 minutes before the handover ceremony began, the bands of both sides took turns to play four pieces of music to create an atmosphere for the venue.

Shortly after the soothing music of the first piece played by the Chinese side, the tension in the room began to melt and the guests began to whisper.

Music is a language without borders that plays a wonderful role at this time.

At the last minute on the 30th, the British band began to play the British national anthem "God Save the Queen" and lowered the British flag.

Under normal circumstances, the performance of the British national anthem takes more than 50 seconds, but as soon as they played, Zeng Wei felt that something was wrong, and their rhythm was much faster than usual.

As a result, the British played it in just over thirty seconds.

There was a brief cold scene at the scene, and the Chinese side only made preparations for the British side to resolutely play on time if the British side delayed time, but did not expect that they would speed up the performance, which was equivalent to leaving a blank time of more than 20 seconds for the Chinese military band.

………………

It was a suffocating twenty seconds, Zeng Wei's side, Gao Yuanyuan held his hand tightly, and he saw the prime minister raise his wrist and look at his watch carefully, obviously having some doubts about this.

However, the conductor of the Chinese military band was not a vegetarian, completely ignoring the gap left by the British, and at 59 minutes and 58 and a half seconds, he decisively raised his baton.

At 0:00,000, the baton started on time, the national anthem resounded across Victoria Harbour, and the bright five-star red flag and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Island Special Administrative Region were raised.

After the national anthem fell, Gao Yuanyuan frowned and asked Zeng Wei: "What are the British doing? Is it interesting to do this?"

"I will withdraw from the stage of history, of course, I will not be reconciled, which is also a tendency to express myself. Zeng Wei replied, "But fortunately, our reaction is also very correct, and we are completely free from their interference." ”

Although the British increased the pace and flowed out of a blank of more than 20 seconds, they could only be embarrassed by this, and they couldn't even grasp the rhythm well, no wonder they would leave.

If the Chinese side did not wait for the time and sounded the national anthem in advance, then there would be a problem.

Foreigners are bound to shout in today's newspapers that the Chinese are already impatient waiting for the recovery of Hong Kong Island and have to exercise their sovereignty more than 20 seconds in advance; this is an open violation of the "Joint Declaration" and an infringement of the sovereignty of the United Kingdom.

Although it may not be a big deal, the saliva lawsuit will definitely be entangled, at least at any time when the return ceremony is mentioned, they will put this matter on the table and ridicule it. 8)
