The road to return seems to be difficult to negotiate, but in fact, it is thrilling on the day of the handover!

Accidents occurred one after another, and Zhu Tao's nosebleeds came out even more urgently, and the source of all this was in the UK.

"Good Soldier"

In Zhu Tao's body, I saw the interpretation of "Heavenly Choice".

When he was a child, he showed a strong athletic talent, and at the age of 17, Zhu Tao's dream was to become a volleyball player, and he has been working this road, as a result, his friend wanted to be a soldier, Zhu Tao accompanied him to sign up, but he was chosen.

"Young man, you're here to be a soldier, do you want to come to the honor guard?"

I didn't think about it, Zhu Tao chose to agree, he was very happy, and the receiving cadres who found this piece of jade were also, he chose Zhu Tao at a glance, all kinds of conditions are completely qualified, when it is difficult to pick one out of a thousand, this luck is not available to everyone.

Zhu Tao joined the honor guard in this way, and officially began the "hard days", the selection is difficult, the proof requirements are high, the test can be called reborn, and the hardships are unimaginable.

Not to mention anything else, a normal day of kicking, many strong young men will collapse, the next day their feet are swollen to the point that they can't wear shoes, tired day, should have a good rest, the soldiers of the honor guard never sleep without pillows, some people in order to keep their heads upright, will also pin steel needles to the collar.

If you want to grow quickly, you can only make greater efforts than others, Zhu Tao practiced crazy in order to be able to perform tasks as soon as possible, but found that he couldn't hold down his toes when he kicked the right step.

In order to overcome, Zhu Tao thought of a ruthless trick, knelt on the stool to eat, and after the lights went out at night, he would also kneel on the stool for a few hours, and the problem was finally overcome, and the action was close to perfect, because of the excellent performance, it only took more than four months for Zhu Tao to be picked to perform the task.

It is the starting point, and the highlight of life falls on the selection of the honor guard of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

The elite soldier among the elite soldiers, Zhu Tao wanted to go, he submitted an application and was selected, and after dozens of strict selections, the candidate for the flag raiser was finally determined by Zhu Tao.

What Zhu Tao wants to do is to ensure that when the national anthem is finished, the national flag can be raised at the top, which is extremely demanding, and if you practice more, you can accept it, but it is a bad pool, and there is more than one.

Could it be that Britain doesn't want Hong Kong to return?

"Accidents are frequent"

It's hard to say what you think in your heart, but a lot of things happened on the day of the ceremony, but it's true.

Before the flag-lowering ceremony, a speech was arranged for Prince Charles, and the time was set, but his speed of speech was too slow, and the scheduled 6-minute speech was overtimed by a full 23 seconds, and the extra time must be squeezed out of other processes, and the five-star red flag must be guaranteed to be raised on time at 0:00 on July 1.

In order to do this, China's efforts are unimaginable, just to fight for two seconds, An Wenbin and Britain talked for a full sixteen rounds, the overtime of 23 seconds, almost disrupted all the rhythm of the Chinese side, the worst result had to be started, and when the time came, regardless of whether the British flag had landed, the five-star red flag must be raised on time at 0:00:00.

This is the worst outcome, before that, the efforts that can be made still have to be done, and after a race against time, time is finally pulled back to the established track, thinking that the alarm can finally be lifted, who knows, Britain has gone wrong again.

The rhythm of the British national anthem has increased significantly, and the speed of acceleration is more than a little, the final result is that the 51-second national anthem, the United Kingdom will finish it in 39 seconds, and the time will be free for another 12 seconds, and the Chinese personnel on the scene are a little overwhelmed.

Everyone was very nervous, especially Zhu Tao, who was acting as the flag raiser, he held the rope tightly, and even wondered if his ears were deaf due to excessive nervousness, and there was indeed a problem with his body, but it was not his ears, but his nose.

Because he was too nervous, before the game, Zhu Tao began to have a nosebleed, and it was finally stopped two hours before the ceremony began, in order to prevent accidents, the captain also deliberately stuffed cotton into Zhu Tao's nose before the game.

really came to power, the nosebleed really began to flow, in order not to be seen abnormally, Zhu Tao could only suck the blood into his mouth again and again, because he didn't dare to swallow, he could only hold it in his mouth.

But what about the vacant 12 seconds?

"Thrills or Dangers"

Wait, all you can do is wait.

After the accident on the British side, the captain of the honor guard tried to give Zhu Tao a signal, but because of his position, Zhu Tao couldn't see the clock, he didn't know what was happening at the scene, quiet and waiting, no one knew what he was doing in his heart.

It wasn't until the "March of the Volunteers" was played, Zhu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, but he also quickly hung up, there was no danger, ten years of work in the audience, resisted everything, on July 1, 1997 at 0:00:00, Hong Kong finally returned, and the five-star red flag also reached the top at the end of the last note of the national anthem.

walked off the stage steadily, and no one knew what happened to Zhu Tao, until he spit out a mouthful of blood, and everyone was startled, but fortunately, his body was fine.

And Britain has also paid the price for its own frequent problems.

The series of ceremonies can be held indoors, all the credit is in our negotiations, to avoid any accidents, we even took into account the weather conditions, collected the weather data on June 30 and July 1 of the calendar year, and found that it is very likely to rain.

Our liaison group has been emphasizing this matter to the British, and after many negotiations, the British side agreed to set the handover ceremony indoors, but insisted on holding two farewell ceremonies outdoors.

On the one hand, all the people celebrate together, and the other side retreats hastily, is this not the "price" that Britain has paid for its own careful thinking?
