Chapter 1199 Returning Celebration (2)
An old woman and her two daughters were there, and there was a lot of warm applause, for nothing else, because they were Mr. Deng’s wife and daughter, and this reason was enough.
The family had obviously just cried, their eyes were red and their faces were smiling. They knew better than others how much effort and energy Mr. Deng spent to get Xiangjiang back.
Back then, the country was poor and deserted, threatened by the Soviet Union in the north and the Sino-Vietnam dispute in the south, but it forced the developed country, Britain, in a prosperous period, to hand over Xiangjiang.
Britain wanted to retain governance and only handed over the sovereignty to China, but he refused to agree.
Mr. Deng suffered from the hardships of war and hoped to develop a peaceful and stable environment, but he did not give in to this matter, and even would rather go to war with Britain.
Unfortunately, he is really too old. In his later years, he is working hard to plan reform and opening up. He has not been able to survive and cannot see the scene tonight with his own eyes. I think he is also regretful.
When he died early this year, the announcer whined on radio and television, over and over again, in hundreds of cities, there was no stop to make a mourn and joy, and the buses were all covered with white flowers and black ribbons.
At the thirty-eight subway stations in Xiangjiang, the sorrow lasts for ten minutes. A train was departing from Xiangjiang Jiulong to Yangcheng. When passing by a blooming peach blossom forest, the whistle suddenly roared and saw him off.
Deng Gong’s cemetery was chosen in the sea and the funeral was held in the sky.
Perhaps when I was studying in the French Public and Chinese Republic in my early years, I learned a little romance and had to be free and carefree after my death. I decided not to leave anything and scattered my ashes into the sea on a plane.
Han Xuan did not receive the news. It was not until after his death that he saw the old man appearing in Time magazine for the eighth time. Unfortunately, it was a special report about his death. President Clinton made a rare comment, saying: "It was Deng who brought China into the world."
There was also a calligraphy given by the old man hanging at home. Although I had never met him before, the four words "Yanhuang descendants" were enough to include all the words he wanted to say to Han Xuan. No matter where he went to the world, it would be enough to remember where he came from.
Following everyone applauding and welcoming his family. The applause contains respect for Mr. Deng, which lasts for a long time
People kept coming to greet the Cambodian princess, the princess of Morocco, the French minister of the Finance Department, the Japanese Prime Minister of the Cabinet, etc., all of them were present.
Han Xuan received a lot of business cards and gave a lot of them. Tonight, there were more than 4,000 guests. Almost all the powerful people from Hong Kong and Macao came, and thousands of reporters came from more than 700 newspapers.
Standing by the window and looking out, you can see an interesting scene. The ten most awesome license plates in Xiangjiang are lined up, and next to it is the car of the Governor Patten Ding-kang. However, the numbers are arranged in order from one to nine, as if they have been discussed in advance, and a reporter is busy taking photos.
Among them are five Rolls-Royce and two Bentleys, which shows how powerful Hans Automobile's monopoly on super luxury cars is.
Accidentally, a white girl was crying and covered her mouth and tried not to make any noise. Han Xuan leaned over and asked her, "What's wrong with you, Miss?"
The other party looked at Han Xuan and looked up to find that she was the eldest daughter of Governor Patten Dingkang whom she had met in the afternoon. He replied: "I...I...I...I'm leaving tonight!
My friends and they are all here, my boyfriend is here, but my father doesn't allow me to stay here..."
The voice of his speech was sobbing, like a big catfish in his mouth.
Han Xuan almost didn't hear it clearly. After understanding the reason, he felt a headache. He couldn't comfort others, so he waved his hand and called the two princes who teased Fat Ding.
William and Harry ran over obediently, and Harry said, "Han."
"What are you asking us for?" William interjected.
Harry continued, “Who is this lady?”
Then William said, "Did you make her cry?"
“…”
Han Xuan really hated their way of talking in harmony. He was obviously not twins, so he taught him a lesson: "Speak well, be careful I will tell your court etiquette officer.
This is the eldest lady from the Hong Kong Governor Mr. Patten. She has some confusion and needs to talk to someone. I still have something to do, so let's go first."
William and Harry looked at each other and immediately guessed that they were being taken into custody. Seeing that the girl was pretty, she didn't mind chatting with her.
Fei Peng's eldest daughter was frightened and immediately gave him a noble greeting. Han Xuanze quietly walked away to find Anya who was being dragged and chatted by Princess Haya.
Every time she sees this Jordanian princess, Han Xuan will remember her "morning exercise" at Buckingham Palace. Recently, she seems to have gained a little weight and her figure curve is not as good as before.
Don't ask why you know her curves, because Han Xuan has seen her look as if she was not wearing any clothes.
Anya is just a little white rabbit. She was afraid that she would be taken to pieces. When she got close, she found that the two of them were talking about what delicious food in Xiangjiang. She was speechless...
At half past eleven, a voice came from the radio, reminding people to take their seats.
The sound of fireworks outside stopped. It took more than two million US dollars to buy fireworks, and Han Xuan felt a little painful.
When the forty-two minutes arrived on time, the music sounded, and Chinese and British people appeared one after another. According to custom, the mainland boss brought the Prime Minister, the Vice Prime Minister and others to appear, while the British side sent Patten to come out first. The British rule was that the big guys would appear in the final, and Prince Charles was responsible for the finale.
The flagpole fluttered, it was indoors, and there was no wind at all.
It is said that in order to create this effect, a flagpole was specially customized from the United States, with a blower inside. When rehearsing, the flags of dozens of meters were replaced to achieve the best effect.
The big boss and the others have watched the rehearsal video and know where they should be standing. Mr. Han looked at his watch and Xiangjiang was about to return after more than ten minutes left. He was excited.
Far from China.
Countless people sat in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast late at night, and the number of viewers easily exceeded that of the American Super Bowl. Many people specially bought firecrackers and lit them at their doorstep to celebrate.
There were crowds of people in Yanjing's ** Square, waving the national flag and making a big laugh. This made the aunts and men who swept the floor unable to throw down their brooms. No matter how they sweep, they couldn't clean them. It would be better to wait until they were dispersed before continuing.
There is also a flag raising during the day, and the square must be cleaned. The sound of the boss speaking is coming from the radio. The cleaners sigh as if they accept their fate. I am happy today, let them go...
Han Xuan is not that big of a face, but the old man is really big of a face.
He is not wrong with being a non-partisan, but now he has become a face of China internationally, sitting in the middle of the first row of the ceremonial seat under the audience.
The entire handover ceremony was only about twenty minutes long, and all the processes were arranged.
After the boss delivered his speech, it was Prince Charles, who represented the Queen of England, who was on the court. The Queen herself had no shame to come, and William and the others were too small, so the burden fell on Charles.
Chapter completed!
