1997年6月初的一天下午,雨后初霁,记者来到北京天安门广场东侧,只见历史博物馆巨大门柱上的香港回归倒计时牌正在一分一秒向那个激动人心的日子跳动,每一个在这里驻足的中国人神色都是那样庄重。刹那间,我感到,这块计时牌负载着的是中华民族百年的企盼,凝聚着的是亿万炎黄子孙火热的爱国心。 In the afternoon of early June 1997, one afternoon in the afternoon after the rain began, the reporter came to the east of Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and saw the countdown to Hong Kong’s return on the giant goalpost of the Museum of History being beating on that exciting moment every minute. The Chinese people who stopped here are so solemn. In an instant, I felt that this piece of time-laden card was loaded with the hope of a hundred years of the Chinese nation. It embodied the fiery patriotism of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
