As night falls, the main roads of Hong Kong are becoming more and more lively. A large number of Hong Kong citizens take their families to the streets and integrate themselves into the long history of playing with a century of shame. These ordinary citizens live here and grow here. They have different feelings and experiences about the history of Hong Kong's Oriental Pearl tonight.

Tonight's Hong Kong is destined to be a sleepless night. The landscape lights of various landmarks are all turned on, and the bright lights seem to be telling the world that the tomorrow of this international metropolis will be as gorgeous as the lights tonight.

Chen Kangjie rested for four hours at He Wanrong's villa, and then he went to the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center in Wan Chai with Ouyang Zhenhua. Tonight's solemn handover ceremony will be held in this newly built magnificent building with a winged roc. This is the second phase of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and tonight will be its first bloom.

After He Wanrong and Chen Kangjie attended the return ceremony, they will also return to the mainland with him. In addition to drinking Chen Yufen's wedding banquet, she will escape the summer heat for a while and stay with He Baoguo and Zhao Yuexiang for a while.

Originally, after the return ceremony, Hong Kong would hold a grand cultural performance to celebrate its return. He Wanrong and Chen Kangjie were invited. However, because they were going to return to the mainland to attend the wedding, Feiyang Entertainment Company pushed their quota and replaced it with others. The four BEYOND people will participate in the grand performance and they will sing the song "Great Wall".

As for Chen Kangjie's study at the University of Hong Kong, Ouyang Zhenhua has already helped him all. When he learned that Chen Kangjie chose their school for further studies, the board of directors of the University of Hong Kong was very happy and all voted to accept him. They expressed a warm welcome to Chen Kangjie's choice of the University of Hong Kong.

According to Chen Kangjie's wishes, the Hong Kong Congress arranged Chen Kangjie to study in the School of Finance, and he could not live in the school.

"Mr. Jie, then, will you prepare a few houses for you next to the University of Hong Kong? It would be more comfortable to live in, and it would also be exempted from the trouble of long-distance travel. Now the vacancy rate of houses in Hong Kong is relatively high and easy to get," Ouyang Zhenhua, who was sitting next to Chen Kangjie, said to Chen Kangjie with concern.

Neither He Wanrong nor Tan Meiyun received the invitation, so they had to choose to watch live TV at home. Only Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua took Ouyang Zhenhua's Bentley sedan to the International Convention and Exhibition Center.

If it is someone else, then a house is enough to meet the needs, but Chen Kangjie cannot do it. He also has a large number of security personnel, so at least two apartments can be used to live in.

"You can do it, by the way, Brother Ouyang, do you feel the same as these people on the street for the return of Hong Kong?" Chen Kangjie asked curiously as the citizens gathered outside the car window.

The mental outlook of the citizens on these streets is the most different from usual. In addition to seeing the same happiness in the usual festivals on their faces, the most important thing is that their behavior expresses a sense of excitement and pride. For example, Chen Kangjie saw a young man who had just passed by a five-star red flag printed on his T-shirt on his chest, and he was holding a small Bauhinia flag in his hand, shouting something loudly, looking extremely excited.

"Maybe a little different. Excitement and pride are probably the same, but I may be more calmer than them. You know, most Hong Kong people have never had direct contact with the mainland. They have more or less worries about the political system and political thoughts of the mainland. This is why so many Hong Kong people choose to leave, but I am different. They go to the mainland every year and have also come into contact with domestic senior management, which makes me understand more clearly," Ouyang Zhenhua said calmly.

To be honest, Hong Kong society is very realistic, and such a social environment also affects the thoughts of ordinary citizens. In their general view, returning is certainly worthy of joy, but they may be more concerned about the future development direction and path. If their lives and space can become better and broader, then they will sincerely support it. If their lifestyle and career development become narrower, then many people will choose to discard this original sense of honor.

In a word, they feel that their money bags and lifestyles surpass political existence. After all, the British have achieved great results in managing Hong Kong in recent years.

"Yes, I still have a long way to go to make the people of the two places separated for 150 years completely integrated, but at least they can enjoy the carnival tonight for the time being. I always believe that the cohesion of the Chinese nation can transcend time and region," Chen Kangjie sighed.

The closer you get to the International Convention and Exhibition Center, the smoother the traffic. In order to successfully hold the handover ceremony, traffic control has been fully implemented around this area, and only vehicles with special passes can enter. However, there are really many tourists on both sides of the Central Street, and some even took out their equipment to show off their lion dance posture.

When Chen Kangjie and his team arrived at the International Convention and Exhibition Center, there were already a large number of people watching the ceremony from all over the world. They were waiting to enter the venue while enjoying the dazzling night view of Victoria Harbour.

The handover ceremony will officially begin after 11 o'clock, and it will be past nine o'clock and it will take half an hour to enter the venue. I wonder if God was moved by this major event that had washed away a hundred years of shame, and it started to drizzle.

The reason they had to come in advance was that in a while, many important traffic roads in the room would be given to the PLA convoys that were stationed in.

Chen Kangjie did not join the crowd who were enjoying the night view, because he got off the car that drove into the underground parking lot and was picked up by the staff to the VIP lounge. The central delegation led by Wei Zhonghua has reached here. Ouyang Zhenhua belongs to the local representative of Hong Kong, so he will enter through the main entrance with other VIPs.

"I thought you were not here." As soon as we met, Wei Zhonghua said to Chen Kangjie with a smile.

It is a great honor for Wei Zhonghua to be able to fulfill this wish to unite people on behalf of a nation and a country. It can be said that his mood tonight must be both solemn and proud.

"How can I miss this moment that is rare in a century? The old leader cannot come. I hope I can fulfill his wish for him." Chen Kangjie stepped forward to salute several central leaders and the newly elected first chief executive before sitting down and responding to Wei Zhonghua's words.

Wei Zhonghua smiled and his expression became solemn, "Yes, before his death, the old leader's greatest wish is this. Today, we will all fulfill it on his behalf."

"Tonight is a happy carnival night for Hong Kong citizens. Look, tens of thousands of citizens have already walked onto the streets in the rain, intending to welcome the PLA officers and soldiers who are entering immediately." In order to change the heavy topic, the new Chief Executive pointed to a TV that was opened in the VIP room and said in his difficult Mandarin.

It was indeed seen on the TV that under the police's order, a large number of happy people were holding various flags waiting on both sides of the road where military vehicles passed. Hong Kong reporters wearing raincoats were interviewing and broadcasting in Cantonese.

Chen Kangjie saw that some citizens who did not bring rain gear did not leave because they were wet with rain. Instead, they waved their arms under some unfolded welcome banners to express their feelings.

To be honest, when Chen Kangjie saw the crowd on TV, he felt the same as them at this moment. As a symbol of a regime, soldiers always conveyed some special emotions to people. Moreover, before Hong Kong, soldiers were all blue-eyed and white-skinned British people, and could witness their soldiers coming to their fronts. That kind of picture would definitely make them feel excited about their feelings of family and country.

Unfortunately, Chen Kangjie could not see the mighty and civilized teacher coming in and was warmly welcomed, and he could not even watch it in real time on TV.

According to the agreement between China and the UK, in addition to the main politicians on both sides, other guests and military bands and guards of honor from both sides must be present at 11 o'clock. The five-member group of China and India will make an appointment to enter the venue solemnly one minute before the ceremony officially begins.

In this way, Chen Kangjie entered the crowded hall ahead of schedule than these big shots.

There were more than 4,000 guests attending this solemn ceremony today. In addition to diplomats from various countries in Hong Kong, there were also representatives of Chinese people from all over the world, representatives of international organizations, representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and guests from the mainland who came to watch the ceremony. While waiting, people were exchanging their views and expectations for the return of Hong Kong with familiar people around them.

Since Chen Kangjie came out directly from the VIP room on the front side, not many people saw him, and his location was in the first row on the left, which was close to the exit of the VIP room.

Only a few senior officials from China who were sitting with him saw him and were not too surprised by Chen Kangjie's appearance. It was the most suitable choice for Chen Kangjie as the domestic audience representative. However, they did not expect that Chen Kangjie could sit in the first row. Due to such a special occasion and the requirements of discipline, most of them just greeted Chen Kangjie with his head down, and only an old friend next to Chen Kangjie was chatting with him warmly.

This person is Wei Liang, who has been transferred to work in the General Staff Department. Since the two met each other a long time ago, they have more topics.

"Xiaojie, I heard that your sister is going to get married, so I won't inform me about it," Wei Liang said in a close and critical tone.

"Not a single guest in the capital has been invited. Besides, you just went to work at the General Staff and just mentioned the Major General. You are so busy at work, how can you have time?" Chen Kangjie said the truth.

"That's true, but I might still come after taking the time. By the way, Xiaojie, what you did in the United States must have been messed up, so you plan to do this." Wei Liang, as a soldier, said quickly.
