Due to the rapid development of the domestic economy and the improvement of international status, the two sessions have increasingly become an important node for foreign media to understand the republic and an important window for the outside world to understand the trend of the country. What new measures and new viewpoints are put forward in the reform of the political system and economic and social development, as well as the impact of the conference itself on China's development direction in the next few years, are the contents that foreign media generally want to know. Hoping to decipher the future of this rapidly developing country, the meeting has not yet been held, and the media at home and abroad have actively begun to warm up for the two sessions, and triggered a small media war.

Although the hot issues that the media focus on are different each time, there is one topic that has always been the focus of media attention, that is, the personnel adjustment layout.

Although last year was the year of the re-election and the start of the new generation of leading collectives, according to the usual practice, the personnel arrangements of various departments of the central government and local party and government leaders had already been comprehensively considered as early as the 16 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. After the end of the national "two sessions", the new team officially set sail, this year is just a fine-tuning, it is reasonable to say that although the degree of attention is there, but it will not be too high, but the actual situation is the opposite, because the members of the decision-making body have already been in place, many media have extended their interest to the senior officials of various ministries and commissions.

The possible personnel changes at the two sessions this time have aroused widespread attention from domestic and foreign media, especially the Hong Kong media, which has attracted even more attention. There is no other reason. One is because of one location. The second is because of one person, both of which are closely related to Hong Kong. This position is the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, and this person is Lu Zhengdong.

The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government is one of the three representative offices of the Central Government in Hong Kong, one of the three agencies of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, and the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Garrison.

Among them, the predecessor of the joint office was the Hong Kong branch of China News Agency. The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, formerly known as the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong, was established in 1947 as an organ of the Central Committee stationed in Hong Kong, and at the same time assumed the news function of the Hong Kong branch of the State News Agency.

In the late sixties, with the change of Hong Kong and the development of relations with the mainland, the Hong Kong government appointed political advisers to maintain contact with the branch. The early years of reform and opening up. The 25th Governor of Hong Kong attended the National Day Reception for the first time. Since then, it has become a common practice. Subsequently, successive Governors attended the National Day Reception held by the Branch every year, which continued until the transfer of sovereignty.

Therefore, the function of the Huaxin branch in Hong Kong is not just the role played by a single media, but has always been a special mission.

After the transfer of sovereignty, the branch made appropriate adjustments to its original functions and continued to perform its duties as a working organization authorized by the central government. It was not until the executive meeting of the State Council in 99 that the branch was officially renamed the Liaison Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) for short, referred to as the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, and the SAR Government was notified. As for the news business within the former branch, it was divested. The former president and vice president were also renamed as the chairman and deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government.

The current director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government has been working from the time of his return to the new to the present, and he originally thought that he would be adjusted at the time of the change of office because of his age, but the Central Committee did not adjust his position out of the sake of stability, and because he is very familiar with Hong Kong affairs, the Hong Kong people are also full of all kinds of thoughts about how this successor can have a profound impact on Hong Kong.

And Lu Zhengdong is because of his relationship with Hong Kong, the financial war in 9798 that is still fresh in the memory of all Hong Kong people, Lu Zhengdong participated in the fact that Hong Kong did not keep it secret for a long time before it was discovered, so that many people could not help but be full of cordiality when they heard this name, of course, there is also a very important factor is Lu Zhengdong's youth, such a young high-ranking official must be a strong news point.

In particular, despite so many years of reform and opening up, many people are still in a fog and full of mystery about the personnel selection mechanism within the mainland party, and in the eyes of the outside world, they have always been accustomed to following the personnel process step by step, and the relatively conservative mainland can have such a young high-ranking official, and according to the information found by those Hong Kong media and reporters with vast powers, Lu Zhengdong is very hopeful that he will go further before and after the two sessions, and this is undoubtedly even more shocking.

Therefore, before the opening of the two sessions, Lu Zhengdong suddenly became a popular figure in the Hong Kong media, and the political and economic programs of various media were reported one after another. Some predicted that Lu Zhengdong would be transferred to Ganyuan Province in the west to serve as governor, on the grounds that Lu Zhengdong himself was a high-ranking official of the Western Affairs Office, and had worked in the western region for many years, serving as the governor of the backward areas in the western region, and then promoting local development should be the first choice, while some media boldly predicted that Lu Zhengdong might be able to become the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, on the grounds that although Lu Zhengdong had no diplomatic experience, Lu Zhengdong had ties with Hong Kong, and being young meant that he was more open-minded and more receptive to new things, which can be accepted by many Hong Kong people......

It's just that in fact, things are not as simple as they imagined, within the red wall of the capital, a study room is simple and simple, a few single-seater sofas, and leaders prefer to work here.

"Sit down, Jingsheng."

The old man drank the clean water on the table and bowed slightly.

"I'm here to report on the visit of the Hong Kong delegation to Beijing, and they have another suggestion, hoping to have more choices in the selection of the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government."

Wu Jingsheng said carefully and sentenced: As deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, he knows that the central authorities attach great importance to Hong Kong and Macao, and that a delegation visiting Beijing of such a standard is a high-level meeting as usual, and in addition to the top leader, other members of the Standing Committee and important leaders will also participate in the meeting.

There are no other things, but it is very difficult for him to convey a request made by a delegation to Beijing, and the central government will take into account some of their suggestions and opinions on personnel issues, but this is also limited, so he also said it very tactfully:

"They hope to consider Lu Zhengdong as well, because Lu Zhengdong is quite familiar with the economy and is well known to Hong Kong people, and Hong Kong, which is in the post-SARS recovery period, needs such a person, and Hong Kong people will be more at ease with him in Hong Kong."

The old man nodded, the Asian financial crisis in 1997 occurred in Thailand, and then affected the currencies, stock markets and other asset values of neighboring countries.

Although the central government and the SAR government have joined hands to break the dream of international speculators, Hong Kong has also been strongly affected by this crisis, and last year's SARS epidemic hit Hong Kong again, which is in the recovery period.

Hong Kong can not be chaotic, this is the general principle, and getting rid of the economic downturn is undoubtedly the best way not to chaos, the central government is also planning some big moves, ready to sign CEPA with Hong Kong, in order to get rid of the predicament in a short period of time towards recovery.

He also knows the mentality of Hong Kong people who have been bitten by snakes, but he just ......

The old man frowned slightly, he realized the reason why Wu Jingsheng was so cautious, and now the question of Lu Zhengdong's whereabouts is brewing in the organization, and the controversy is not small, and it has not been conclusive, and the Hong Kong media has also reported on Lu Zhengdong very much, and now he has proposed such a thing, which will do bad things with good intentions, or is it that someone deliberately induces him to kill Lu Zhengdong in such a way?

The hopes of these Hong Kong people are good, but sometimes it is a very normal thing, but it will lead to a lot of unnecessary conjectures, which will then affect the decision-making of the central government, and may even play the opposite role.

"I know, there are some things that the central government will consider as a whole, and you can communicate with them in this regard."

After Wu Jingsheng left, the old man pondered for a long time, any slight action on the eve of personnel adjustment will attract a lot of reverie, if it is someone else, maybe it will not be affected, but it is precisely when it comes to Lu Zhengdong, this problem can not be considered carefully, Lu Zhengdong's work change is a trivial matter, if it causes some unnecessary misunderstandings and affects the originally relatively harmonious atmosphere, it will be more than worth the loss......
