Chapter 350: Invitation to the ceremony

June 30, 1997 was a day of great significance for Chinese people all over the world.

The eyes of the whole world also focused on Xiangjiang on this day, paying attention to this oriental pearl embedded in the edge of the vast blue waves of the South China Sea.

Every event that takes place in this cosmopolitan metropolis about the return touches the hearts of dignitaries from all over the world.

News about the return of Hong Kong flooded the front pages of countries around the world.

Before and after the handover, more than 1,000 of the most influential media and more than 10,000 senior journalists from all over the world gathered in Hong Kong and went deep into the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, making news reports with mixed praise and disapproval from different angles and standpoints.

There is no doubt that the return of Hong Kong is one of the most important news in the world this year.

On June 30, 1997, the matter finally brewed and fermented to a high ignition point, and the ecstasy of the return was about to erupt into a brilliant brilliance like a new rising sun.

After the "Stars Gather to Celebrate the Return" party, Xiao Fei attended the reception luncheon.

It was at this luncheon that a staff member informed him that if there was nothing else urgent, he would need to attend the evening return ceremony as a guest of honor.

The handover ceremony will be held at the City Hall on the fifth floor of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

It was also a rare honor to be able to attend the ceremony as a guest of honor.

Xiao Fei naturally agreed.

After noon, Hong Kong began to fall into an impetuous carnival atmosphere, with a noticeable increase in the number of pedestrians on the streets, many people began to flock to the direction of the waterfront promenade, and many people planned to cross the sea by ferry or take a bus through the Hung Hom Harbour Tunnel 1 to Hong Kong Island.

As the economic and political center of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island is the most prosperous place in Hong Kong.

The handover ceremony will also be staged on Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong has been preparing for this ceremony for several years.

Xiao Fei travelled to Hong Kong Island in the evening through Tunnel 1.

When I arrived at the newly built Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, the huge Golden Bauhinia Square was already crowded with people, and the square was full of lights and joy.

People waved the national flag in their hands and pulled up the big red banner in their hands, which read: Hong Kong will be better tomorrow!

So many people get together. But it was a rare harmony, and one song after another was sung in unison.

These songs include: "Pearl of the Orient", "Tomorrow Will Be Better", "Under the Lion Rock", "Chinese", "My Chinese Heart" and so on.

A chorus of one song after another.

I can't help but have fun.

Xiao Fei stayed on the top floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center, which was the best viewing point, he saw. Although the night is getting deeper and deeper, there are more and more people on the side of the convention and exhibition center.

From 8 p.m. until 11 p.m., the handover ceremony will not be held.

Next, the waiting time is boring.

Every minute is so long.

But everyone was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. In addition to singing, there are also people who improvise speeches on the streets. When a person finishes speaking passionately, there will be enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Hong Kong tonight is destined to be sleepless.

……

Ha Duong No. 1 Middle School, on campus.

As soon as it got dark, the school moved out a 29-inch large color TV and placed it on the school's large playground.

After dinner, the students all flocked to the playground, and they sat down on the ground in groups of three or five with newspapers, old homework books, and broken book mats, talking excitedly and watching TV.

Even if it's a graduating class or a repeater class. No one went to the classroom tonight to study, and they didn't have the heart to study, and the live broadcast of the return ceremony touched the hearts of every student.

What makes them even more proud is that the poem "The Last Minute" written by Xiao Fei, a student of our school, will be recited with music during the last minute of the live broadcast of Hong Kong's return to the motherland on CCTV.

This is the highest honor, even the most prestigious writers in China do not have this opportunity!

Therefore, the vast majority of Heyang people, especially the teachers and students of Heyang No. 1 Middle School, are very honored.

Heyang No. 1 Middle School hung a huge banner at the school gate three days in the morning: Warmly celebrate the landing of Xiao Fei's masterpiece "The Last Minute" on CCTV's live broadcast of the Hong Kong return ceremony!

And this matter has appeared in the major domestic media, and in recent days, with the fermentation of the hot spot of Hong Kong's return, it has also become very popular.

The county TV station recited the big news that Xiao Fei's poem would be recited in the live broadcast of the last-minute ceremony of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and interviewed the heads of Heyang County and many teachers and students in Heyang No. 1 Middle School. The news of the interviews was broadcast on a rolling basis for many days.

Ye Fangwei, the county magistrate, Zhu Wangnian, the principal of Heyang No. 1 Middle School, and Li Tangqiu, Xiao Fei's head teacher, also came out of the limelight.

"If Xiao Fei could be in school now, it would be even more perfect."

Zhu Wangnian said to Li Tangqiu with emotion.

The two stood near the gate of the playground, looking at the lively campus, and they were all excited.

"Headmaster. Xiao Fei said that he would come back before the college entrance examination. Li Tangqiu said, "He has always been true to his word, and he is still relatively trustworthy." ”

Zhu Wangnian sighed: "Tomorrow will be 7.1, and the college entrance examination will be in 5 days, and Xiao Fei has not come back until now." I don't know where he is, but I think it's very unlikely that he'll come back. ”

Li Tangqiu smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

In the past few days, he has called Xiao Fei from time to time, but as a result, Xiao Fei's mobile phone is turned off, and he hasn't called at all.

"Alas! Actually, I'm not greedy enough! Now, Xiao Fei has brought enough glory to our school, even if he doesn't take the college entrance examination, it doesn't matter if he can't bring a provincial liberal arts champion to our school. Zhu Wangnian sighed again, shook his head and said.

"Principal, if Xiao Fei can't come back, he will definitely say hello to us, he is a sensible child, and now he hasn't said that he can't come back, so it means that he will come back in time, maybe, he will come back tomorrow." Li Tangqiu comforted Zhu Wangnian.

Li Tangqiu naturally knows what a provincial champion in liberal arts means to Heyang No. 1 Middle School.

In a high school like Heyang No. 1 Middle School, there are too few opportunities to be a provincial champion, and a provincial champion can bring the opportunity to make a name for the school, and the opportunity to bring honor and benefits to the school leaders and bring the opportunity to be famous in the history of the school and the county.

Heyang No. 1 Middle School has not been able to produce a student like Xiao Fei for many years.

Zhu Wangnian was lucky that he met.

Since they met, they should "squeeze" Xiao Fei's surplus value as much as possible, so that he can make more contributions to the school.

Next time I want to meet such a good opportunity, I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey. Maybe if he misses this time, he Zhu Wangnian will never want to meet another "Xiao Fei" again in his life.

This is why Zhu Wangnian regretted not seeing Xiao Fei come back from the field in time.

"I hope so." Zhu Wangnian shook his head.

……

In Xu Fengjuan's dormitory, a group of girls in the same class were chattering around Xu Fengjuan.

"Xu Fengjuan, let's go, let's go to the playground to watch the live TV broadcast of Hong Kong's handover ceremony, and if you don't go to the classroom for self-study tonight, it won't affect your university entrance examination." Xia Zhe said quickly.

"That's right, Xu Fengjuan, let's go together, at such an exciting moment, you can't learn it while sitting in the classroom." Wang Min also advised.

"Let's go! Xu Fengjuan, studying all day long, it's time to change your brain. Yin Jing also said on the side.

"Let's work together to carry Xu Fengjuan to the playground!"

A group of girls dragged Xu Fengjuan downstairs and went to the playground. (To be continued.) )
