| 6-Jan-2003 - |
Over 3,000 residents and visitors attended a New Year's flag raising ceremony at the Bauhinia Square outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center Extension on Jan.1 in spite of the cold weather. Holding miniature versions of the Chinese national flag and the HKSAR flag in their hands, many people arrived ahead of time to get a good watching position. Liu jiayi and her husband took a taxi especially for the ceremony. She said the family's first program of the New Year was mainly for her 4-year-old daughter, who was sitting on her father's shoulder, preparing for the exciting flag raising moment. Liu said that she was a bit worried about Hong Kong's economy, but the way of living and earning here had not changed and she was certain it was just a matter of time that the economy took a turn for the better. The five-star Chinese national red flag and the bauhinia flag of the HKSAR were hoisted amidst the playing of the Chinese national anthem at 8:00 a.m., when all participants stood solemnly, many singing the anthem with proud. Wu xueli, a 65-year-old mainland tourist who often attended flag raising ceremony in Beijing, said the proud sense here today was quite different. "I can sincerely feel the closeness of our big Chinese family," said Wu. "I wish my country strong and all Chinese people happy in the year 2003." |
