    On the evening of June 30, 1997, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

    Amid the solemn national anthem, the five-star red flag slowly rose, marking the end of the century-long British colonial rule in Hong Kong.

    Prince Charles left in a hurry after the handover ceremony. The car of the last Hong Kong Governor Patten circled the Government House several times, and finally left sadly with some unwillingness and loneliness.

    The first Chief Executive of Hong Kong gave a speech titled "Pursue Excellence, Shared Prosperity" at the swearing-in ceremony. There was a section in which he specifically mentioned Hong Kong's booming film industry. The live camera scanned the audience and it was easy to find it.  Lin Youlun is sitting in the front row.

    Many people in mainland China who are watching the live broadcast on TV do not understand why the live broadcast camera stays on this young man who looks to be in his early thirties for such a long time.

    After the camera moved away, some people suddenly remembered that the person who just appeared on the live broadcast screen seemed to be very similar to the male protagonist of the Hong Kong special effects blockbuster "Iron Man" that was popular in mainland China a few months ago.

    And the Hong Kong viewers who are watching the live broadcast at this moment have another feeling in their hearts.

    Although more than a year has passed since the wedding that caused a sensation in the city last year, many Hong Kong people still remember the grand occasion.

    The extravagant wedding banquet, the unprecedented guest lineup, the colorful lights and fireworks that illuminated the entire Victoria Harbor at night, all provided countless topics for this wedding.

    On that day, hundreds of TV stations from different countries and regions around the world reported the news of the marriage of Lin Youlun and Zhou Huimin, as well as some scenes of the wedding. Hong Kong and Taiwan achieved simultaneous live broadcast, and in mainland China, news reports about the wedding even appeared  on the CCTV News Network.

    Regardless of the total cost, guest lineup, or external attention, this wedding is worthy of being called "the best of the century."

    ¡°At this moment, Lam Yoo-lun appears in the live broadcast of the handover ceremony, which has a more special meaning for Hong Kong people.

    Although the then Chinese President solemnly reiterated the government's position of "one country, two systems, Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, a high degree of autonomy, unchanged for 50 years" in his speech at the previous handover ceremony, will it really be possible to gamble and dance after the handover?  Many Hong Kong people still have doubts in their hearts.

    It was already past 3 o'clock in the morning when the entire swearing-in ceremony ended, but the reporters guarding the door of the venue did not slack off at all. The moment Lin Youlun came out of the venue, he was immediately surrounded by countless microphones.

    Although they were asked a lot of questions, Hong Kong reporters are actually most concerned about whether this year¡¯s Miss Hong Kong finals can be held as scheduled.

    Judging from the date, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant will be the first major event in Hong Kong's entertainment industry after the handover. Its significance is no longer simply a beauty pageant, but also a reflection of whether Hong Kong people can maintain their lifestyle after the handover.  Constant expectations.

    Lin Youlun¡¯s answer did not disappoint everyone. The Miss Hong Kong finals will be held as scheduled, and this year¡¯s scale and guest lineup will far exceed those in previous years.

    This promise made many Hong Kong people breathe a sigh of relief. It turns out that Hong Kong is still Hong Kong and has not changed.  (To be continued)
