The return of Hong Kong in 1997 was a major event, and Chinese raised his eyebrows for the nth time

In 1997, I was watching TV at home and "harvesting" The return of Hong Kong to China. After waiting for many years, it really returned, and that was it, very plain. Watch the British flag slowly fall, watch the Chinese flag slowly rise: Hong Kong has returned. Didn't think: What does it have to do with me? The land should be planted, the school should be attended, the pleasure should be enjoyed, everything is business as usual, there is always hope for change, in fact, everything is in order.

In 1994, there was a drastic change in society. A large number of post-60s, post-70s and even post-80s began to be involved in the tide of the south, becoming a fish in the river, how weak. My post-70s cousin works in a factory in Dongguan, January 500, which is a shoe factory, which is very tiring. After a few years, he married and had children, and never went out again. He went out in '95 and came back in 2000 for a total of 5 years. And Hong Kong's return to the motherland is in the past five years. It didn't affect them either, and everything was still like that.

Now, a generation has passed, are they? They have become middle-aged women in their 40s, and even say that they are women, and they have gone to high school or dropped out of school to work again, and they have returned to their old ways. And they are junior high school graduates, just like tao living in a factory or miscellaneous in society, in the hotel or in the construction site to do small work, one hundred and one days, because women are cheap, the contribution is slightly smaller.

Hong Kong's return to the national level is a big event, a big event in a hundred years. It means that we not only defeated the United States (the Korean War), but also defeated Britain, let Britain be soft, no longer tough, high-pitched, and from then on become "low eyebrows and smooth eyes" is not necessarily, at least do not dare to be arrogant, on the eastern coast of a cannon to occupy a country and place the era is gone. The world has a new chapter.

Of course, like mainlanders, Hong Kong people still live the same life as before the reversion, "horses run, dance and dance, pigeon nests as usual", which has continued for more than 20 years.

Twenty-four years later, Hong Kong and the world have changed dramatically. Hong Kong's international status, including Taiwan, is gone. In the 1990s, when it accounted for 20% of China's GDP and Taiwan accounted for more than 45% of the mainland, it was so spectacular that it was gone. It once reached 2 times the GDP of Guangdong, how proud it was. Does Taiwan still have that kind of confidence this year? No, twenty years and one generation is enough to make the Canghai change into a mulberry field and a heavenly graben, and change the human world. Gone are the days of history.

Hong Kong is making its second economic and psychological return, the last time being political. This time, Japan and Zhejiang have integrated into the urban agglomerations of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai and Foshan, and from then on they cannot stand out from the crowd, and now they are no longer the same as before, and they have also lost their confidence. The blueprint of Shenzhen and Hong Kong is about to come out, and the future regional pattern, Shenzhen will be the boss of this area, not Hong Kong. An innovative city, Shenzhen, can lead its future, while the opposite Hong Kong is already old-fashioned, leaving only the bottom fire and no vitality.

Hong Kong began in 1840 as a product of the British invasion of China and the colonial world, and its return is announcing the decline of its (Britain) and the rise of the East, more than a hundred years of history has gone back and forth, starting from scratch again. The 21st century belongs to the Century of China, while the 19th Century is the century of Britain, the invasion of China is its peak, and then step by step into the bottom, more than a hundred years have not stopped declining, although it is still a lot of family bottom, after all, it is a worm after the autumn.
