Farewell Ceremony of Hong Kong Handover 1997 Part C

告別儀式包括傳統的英軍閱兵儀式，港督彭定康發表臨別致詞，之後由王儲查理斯王子代表英女王致告別詞。其他節目包括名為《香港精神》的團體舞蹈、男高音莫華倫歌唱等表演，­有超過2000名表演者參與。儀式舉行時一直下著滂沱大雨，令嘉賓及表演者甚為狼狽，亦添上傷感。晚上7時45分，英國旗及英治香港旗，在風笛伴奏的樂曲《Last Post》中降下。

我是在香港出生的中國人，對英國管治下的殖民地，基本上，生活尚­算穩定，沒有今天紅旗高掛下，曰曰爭吵，示威遊行，抗議，問題在­那呢？是否港人貪心？但一點可以肯定的是，港人生活水平較回歸前­遜色，貧富懸殊。

@pinquifrustri True about majority of HKgers wanted things to stay as they were but majority of mainlanders Chinese wanted HK to return cos British stolen Hong Kong long ago in an illegal war and wanted all back!

Deng agreed and told Mrs Thatcher to sign new treaty after a meeting and she agreed handed over HK to China, cancelling out treaty of Nanking!

To NYYCF, sorry, I cannot tell you the name of the tune you ask about, I think it may be a new composition for the occasion but it is a 6/8 March of the traditional and martial Scottish style. The Kilted soldiers you see are The Black Watch (Scottish Highlanders) as well as Gurkhas from Nepal and Hong Kong soldiers also dressed in traditional Scottish uniforms who have clearly opted to train in the martial discipline of Highland Piping. This is all representative of the end of Britains Empire.

@1JesseW Tibet always part of China? The Communists invaded Tibet in 1949, putting its independence to an end. Actually, the legitimate Chinese Government lays in Taiwan. On the other hand, you're right; the British defeated the Chinese and were ceded Hong Kong in 1841. BUT, in 1997, the overwhelming majority of Hong Koners wanted things to stay as they were.
