June 30th, 1997 Monday Fine

On the stroke of midnight, as July 1st, 1997 begins, Hong Kong will return to its home. The whole nation is celebrating the return in different ways. All my family sat before TV, watching the Hong Kong handover ceremony. When I saw the Chinese national flag rising and Chinese leader,

Jiang Zemin making a speech, I was deeply moved。

As we all know, Hong Kong was originally a part of China in history.But after the Opium War, the British imperialists stole it from the Qing government and made it a separate colony of Britain. Now our country is becoming politically and economically powerful day by day. This is why Hong Kong can return to China today. I' m determined to study hard and make contributions to our country's development in the future。

1997年6月30日 星期一 晴

在午夜钟声敲响的时候，1997年7月1日开始了，香港将回归到母亲的怀抱。举国上下正以不同的方式庆祝回归。我们全家人坐在电视机前观看香港政权交接仪式。当我看到中国国旗升起、国家领导人江泽民发表讲话时，我被深深地打动了。

众所周知，在历史上香港原本就是中国的一部分。但是鸦片战争后英帝国主义者把它从清政府手中夺走，变成了英国的殖民地。现在我们的祖国在政治上和经济上正日益强大，这就是香港今天能够回归中国的原因。我下定决心要努力学习，将来为祖国的发展做出贡献。
