1 July 1997.

Entering the classroom, Liao Fanmin found that on the podium in front of him, there was a TV and a video recorder.

This is not the first time that a TV has been placed in the classroom, the last time was when the chief designer of reform and opening up died, and the TV was also placed in the classroom, and the whole class watched the video.

Seeing the TV, Liao Fanmin's face showed a smile, he knew what was going on.

Last night, the people of the whole country paid attention to one thing, Hong Kong, known as the Pearl of the Orient, returned to the motherland.

At ten o'clock, Xu Hongmeng entered the classroom.

"Students, at twelve o'clock last night, Hong Kong officially returned to the motherland, considering that the time for the return ceremony was twelve o'clock, the students basically rested, so the school made a decision to watch the video of Hong Kong's return ceremony today."

"I want to remind everyone that you don't just want to watch the video of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, but also think more about it, so many things have happened in our country this year, and these must be the content of the political exam, so I hope that when you watch TV, you will remember many details in it...

There was a whisper of discussion in the classroom.

Students who live in the dormitory of the school were obviously unable to watch the live TV broadcast last night.

Liao Fanmin didn't watch it, because it was too late, and when he was sleeping, his father Liao Zexi and mother Xu Wenqing turned on the TV, turned the sound to the minimum, and watched the live broadcast of Hong Kong's return.

It's not that Liao Fanmin doesn't care about this big thing, but he has already experienced it.

A few years later, a lot of things happened in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, especially the proliferation of the "Hong Kong independence" trend of thought, which aroused a high degree of concern from above, and even Liao Fanmin, who was not particularly concerned about politics at that time, thought that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was like a spoiled child, always losing his temper willfully, and those who so-called people holding the banner of the "Hong Kong independence" trend of thought were actually some young and excessively hairy young men.

Students in the third year of high school, especially those in the top class, will not be very concerned about politics, everyone thinks of the upcoming college entrance examination, there are still seven days to go, the annual college entrance examination is about to begin, if you can't get good results in the college entrance examination, you can't enter the university, then there is no good future.

Liao Fanmin turned his head to look at Jia Tianxing, and there was no special color on Jia Tianxing's face.

"Boss, I didn't watch the live broadcast last night, did you watch it?"

When Jia Tianxing spoke in a low voice, Xu Hongmeng had already turned on the TV and VCR.

"I didn't watch either, it's too late, I'm going to sleep."

"Me too, I didn't broadcast live until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, so late, if I watched the live broadcast, I wouldn't be able to get up in the morning."

Looking at Jia Tianxing, Liao Fanmin was a little speechless.

The video started to play, and it didn't work very well, which may have been directly recorded by the school last night.

The passionate voice of the narrator echoed in the classroom.

A series of images appeared, including a video of the Hong Kong Garrison entering Hong Kong at night in a vehicle.

This is a solemn moment for the country to declare its sovereignty over Hong Kong.

The classroom became quiet, and all eyes were focused on the television.

The television was thirty-four inches, which was a little smaller for the fifty-two students in the class, but everyone watched it very seriously and attentively.

There is one thing, which flows in the blood of all Chinese, and that is patriotic feelings.

The handover ceremony of Hong Kong was not long, and the grand ceremony was held at the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center.

When the return ceremony officially began, the announcer stopped talking.

The image of the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center shows four flagpoles on the rostrum, two of which are fluttering the British flag and the Hong Kong regional flag determined by the United Kingdom.

The flag-raising and flag-lowering ceremonies were the culmination of Hong Kong's handover ceremony.

The time on the video points to 11:57.

When the soldiers marched in orderly steps and carried the national flag to the stage, there were slight fluctuations in the classroom.

The British flag and the Hong Kong flag slowly descended.

There was an instant cheer in the classroom.

The national flag of the People's Republic of China and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region were slowly raised, and when the national anthem was played, the classroom was particularly quiet, and all the students stared at the TV screen with wide eyes, for fear of missing a second.

After the video was played, there was applause and cheers in the classroom.

Liao Fanmin was also infected and couldn't help but applaud.

Xu Hongmeng turned off the video and television, stepped onto the podium, and spoke again.

"Students, the meaning of Hong Kong's return, I won't say more, you all know that Hong Kong became a colony, stemming from the signing of the "Treaty of Nanjing" in 1842, which is a notorious treaty, and it is also an indelible pain in China's modern history, since the Opium War, the late Qing government lost power and humiliated the country, signed a series of unequal treaties, so that China fell into dire straits, and China gradually fell into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country."

"The return of Hong Kong is of great significance, but I think the most important point is that our country's comprehensive national strength has been enhanced, and its international status has been significantly improved.

"Hong Kong and Macao are both special administrative regions, and the great concept of one country, two systems, unique in the world, one country, two systems, this is what our late chief architect of reform and opening up put forward, and it is also a place where students need special attention."

"When I arrived at the school this morning, several teachers were arguing on the road about whether the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region are at the same administrative level as our Jianghan Province, what kind of situation will emerge if Hong Kong and Macao implement one country, two systems, and whether the system of Hong Kong and Macao will change in a few years.

Speaking of this, Xu Hong smiled fiercely.

"I tell you this, is to hope that you can pay more attention to national affairs in the future, the college entrance examination is about to begin, after the college entrance examination, many of you will enter the university to study, college and high school life is completely different, you learn knowledge at the same time, but also think about your own future, I always feel that your future, and the development of the country is closely related."

。。。

Most of the people's expressions are attentive and curious.

Liao Fanmin's face showed a look of admiration.

Xu Hongmeng said well, every Chinese, the future development and the country's development are closely related, this cannot be denied, but many people can not think that in the next ten years, the pace of rapid development of the country, as well as the rapid growth of strength, will shock the world.

In the next ten years of great development, Liao Fanmin is very clear that the lives of the people around him are constantly changing, and he is also aware of them.

After the morning self-study, Xu Hongmeng named Liao Fanmin, Jia Tianxing and others to help carry the TV out of the classroom.

This is the TV set in the school's electric classroom.

Liao Fanmin and the others carried the TV to the second floor and into the classroom of another class.

Originally, the handover ceremony of Hong Kong was also carried out in separate classes, and the school did not have so many TVs and VCRs.

Liao Fanmin couldn't help but shake his head, in fact, it won't take many years, every classroom in Xuanming City No. 1 Middle School will be equipped with a TV, and there will be a special closed-circuit television system, and it won't take many years for LCD TVs to be completely popularized, and this kind of ordinary heavy and stupid TV will be completely eliminated.

"Boss, I always feel a little unhappy about Hong Kong's return."

"Oh, how could you see that."

"According to my thoughts, Hong Kong and Macao are ours, why should Britain and Portugal occupy them, they must be returned to us unconditionally, and what system Hong Kong and Macao implement, that is our final say, and Taiwan, which originally belongs to China, what kind of independence, if it dares to be independent, then fight over and recover Taiwan."

Liao Fanmin looked at Jia Tianxing for a while before speaking.

"Jia Tianxing, what you think is too simple, there are so many things, we don't know...

"I understand what you mean, it's that the strength is not good, and you can't make such high demands."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, my dad said something like this at home, if the strength is really strong enough, whoever dares to talk nonsense will clean up whoever talks nonsense...

All Liao Fanmin left was a wry smile, what else could he say.

There was a lot of discussion in the classroom, and everyone was excited just after watching the video of Hong Kong's handover ceremony.

The return of Hong Kong and the imminent return of Macao mean that the national strength has grown, and this is an indisputable fact, and these things that can arouse the pride of the Chinese people are embodied in every thing.

High school students really don't care about politics, if there is no such thing as Hong Kong's return to the motherland to remind them, they can't feel the changes in society, the name of the ivory tower is not casually said, the students in the ivory tower are slow to respond to the changes in society, think very highly of themselves, always think that their own abilities are not ordinary, they can master the world, and after they really go to society, they can be their original views and ideas how ridiculous.

During the morning exercise, all the students in the school gathered on the playground.

The school leaders held microphones and talked about Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and bursts of cheers rang out in the playground.

When it was disbanded, Xue Chuling walked to Liao Fanmin's side.

"Liao Fanmin, when I was studying and watching TV in the morning, I found that you were a little careless."

"I'm taking it seriously."

"Hmph, bragging, I thought I didn't know, you and Jia Tianxing were still talking in a low voice."

Liao Fanmin suddenly realized that when the video first started, he did talk to Jia Tianxing.

"Your political grades are not good, you must pay attention, Mr. Xu said, the topic of Hong Kong's return to the motherland and one country, two systems, the college entrance examination will definitely be tested...
