Hong Kong delegation reacts to National Day parade
This is the fourth time I've been invited to watch the military parade. I feel honored. China's footsteps towards a powerful nation in the past 70 years are vividly presented in the two-hour-and-half ceremony.
I was most deeply impressed by the showcase of achievements gained from reform and opening-up, a policy that led to the country's economic success. Hong Kong and Macao returned to the motherland after the implementation of the policy.
Hong Kong and Macao representatives also joined the parade today. Hong Kong and Macao are inseparable parts of China. The feasibility of "one country, two systems" has been self-evident in the two special administrative regions' prosperity since they were established.
Hong Kong will surely play an important role in the future development of our country as long as we follow the path laid out by President Xi Jinping during his meeting with Hong Kong and Macao delegations last November.
