Chapter 1200 Every second counts!
"ladies and gentlemen:
This important and unique ceremony tonight will condense the changes and continuation of Xiangjiang's history in a moment.?
First, the ceremony marked the return of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China for more than 150 years after the British rule.
At the same time, this ceremony is also celebrated and continuation, as the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will retain its own society, economic system and its own way of life under the same treaty and many subsequent agreements signed for the implementation of the treaty.
Tonight, I would like to pay tribute to you who reflected the idea of "one country, two systems" in the joint statement.
ladies and gentlemen.
Tonight, China will take responsibility for this place and the people here, and for all of us, both are precious.
The 1984 Joint Statement has solemnly promised the world to ensure that the way of life in Hong Kong can continue, and the United Kingdom will remain unswervingly support the Joint Statement.
We are confident that our responsibility for Hong Kong and our close relationship with Hong Kong will not only continue, but will also become deeper as Hong Kong and Hong Kong people continue to flourish.
Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and the people of the UK, I would like to express our gratitude, admiration, friendship and friendship wishes to all the citizens of Hong Kong.
For many generations, you have been our good friends and close friends, and we will never forget everyone.
At the same time, we will also look at the most concerned eyes toward a new era that will be opened in your extraordinary history.”
Charles' speech was very rhythmic and used politely. He couldn't feel that he wanted to escape in the afternoon, so he was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed by China.
After the speech, the applause was even more enthusiastic than the boss's speech just now, because this speech was more approachable and there were not so many official accents. After the more official accents, many locals who spoke Cantonese could not understand it at all.
Others only care about Charles' speech, but Han Xuanze keenly revealed something wrong, not the speech or tone, but the time of the speech!
In the morning, I asked Mr. Bin and knew that the speech was only five minutes for Crown Prince Charles. The boss spoke a little earlier. Now Crown Prince Charles has taken twenty-three seconds!
I have been rehearsing many times before. It is impossible for Prince Charles to know what it means to be twenty-three seconds slower, which means that it is likely to miss the handover time at zero!
I'm afraid it was just to disrupt the original deployment that he stabbed the knife in a dark knife just now and deliberately said it was slow.
Other times, twenty-three seconds are nothing, but today is the handover ceremony and the time has been strictly regulated.
When Han Xuan turned his gaze to An Wenbin, he saw that there was a clear reflection of light on his forehead, probably because he was sweating in a hurry.
An Wenbin was holding a watch in his hand. Seeing that Prince Charles was still waving goodbye, he gritted his teeth and wanted to go on stage to pull him down, then step on a few steps to kill this bastard!
In just twenty-three seconds, all deployments were disrupted.
The pace of the next step has been significantly accelerated. Some people have already brought out the five-star red flag and the Bauhinia area flag, preparing to raise it immediately after the flag is lowered.
Fortunately, he has rehearsed countless times and has already planned to deal with the crisis. After two or three small links, he has made up for the time he wasted. The Chinese host's speech is obviously a bit quick.
Next is to lower the British flag. It is not a good thing for Han Xuan to sit in the front row now. You need to pay attention to your image. It feels uncomfortable to straighten your back.
The two little princes were much more comfortable, lying on the chair and shaking their legs. A reporter had noticed the two, and it was estimated that the UK would make a fuss about this.
Their expressions when chatting with Fei Peng's eldest daughter were so happy. Remember that this was a shameful day in the minds of the British...
When An Wenbin, who was standing not far away, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the trouble would end here, but when the sound of "Queen of Heaven Blessing" played by the military band came, his face changed drastically again!
During the rehearsal, he had heard this song countless times, and he had already memorized the melody in his heart. He usually ended in about fifty-four seconds, but today the melody of this song is extremely fast, and it is not only a little faster.
Han Xuan also saw this and turned around and stared at Prince William, angry that his face was worthless. His father, Crown Prince Charles, didn't listen to him at all, and they all did everything.
When playing the British national anthem, it was around 11:59:00 and 3 seconds on June 30. According to previous plans, the performance was only three seconds left, just started the "March of the Volunteers" and then raised the national flag.
This is the arrangement during rehearsals, but the crown prince did not cooperate. The pace of "The Queen of Heaven Blessing" was getting faster and faster. The flag-raising belle did not receive the news in advance. He looked up at the national flag that had only been lowered halfway, and quickly pulled it a few times until the end of the music, and just lowered the national flag.
An Wenbin looked at the time and his eyes were already dark. The national anthem, which was only about fifty-four seconds, was played in twelve seconds! It took only forty-two seconds!
When he looked at Han Xuan, he was crying without tears, thinking that this guy was too face-to-face. In just one second, Crown Prince Charles actually gave him so much time.
It is already the last link, and now we should raise the five-star red flag, but the time has not come.
The temperature in the venue was obviously not high, but the host was sweating in the shirt in the suit. He tried to delay time, but only a few words, even if it was delayed, it would not be delayed for a few seconds.
After raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, there were five seconds left before zero. China did not make any profit in the UK for these five seconds, and the scene was silent and fell into a vacuum.
Han Xuan, the old man, grandma and the others stood there, and only heard familiar tunes suddenly coming, and their pores were relaxed instantly!
A warm current rushed from the spine to the forehead, and the whole scalp was numb!
The five-star red flag and the Bauhinia area flag of the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region rose at the same time, slowly rising with the national anthem.
At this moment, Xiangjiang, which has been colonized by Britain for more than 150 years, has officially returned!
At midnight, fireworks outside continued to set off, which was more lively than before.
Outside the exhibition center, there were crowds of people and the red flags were dancing.
Tens of thousands of white doves were released, and colorful balloons were everywhere in the sky, and they slowly rose with ribbons tied to them. People were so excited that they hugged each other!
At the handover ceremony, after the red flag was raised to the top, it was blown by the wind and completely unfolded, and the five yellow stars shook slightly.
The applause was thunderous, the old man's eyes were wet, and Mr. Ho Yingdong had already burst into tears, and he couldn't wipe it clean no matter how hard he clapped his hands, tilting his head to apply to the sleeve of his suit.
At this time, there was a round panda walking close to the corner of the wall, thinking that he was very careful and no one could see him.
But the fat and fat Gangbang were really conspicuous. Even the big boss and the others were staring at Little Barry. They saw it open their mouths and bite it in front of a pot of bamboo plant, then sat down and held it directly to eat it, which made people laugh.
An Wenbin was almost crying again and muttered: "I just said don't use bamboo!"
On the window glass, the fireworks were reflected outside, standing on the territory of China...8
