第二篇 回歸頌

香港回歸祖國詩中華民族的盛事，也是全世界矚目的一件大事。中華民族雪洗了百年恥辱，振奮了民族精神，感到無比的驕傲和自豪。

The return of Hong Kong to the motherland is both a great victory for the Chinese nation and a great event attracting worldwide attention. It has wiped out the century-old humiliation of the Chinese nation and activated the national spirit, and we are very proud of it.

香港實現平穩過渡，標志著鄧小平“一國兩制”構想的巨大成功，對澳門回歸和解決臺灣問題，實現祖國完全統一將起到積極的推動作用。香港自回歸祖國以來，保持了原有的社會、經濟制度不變，生活方式不變和法律基本不變，“一國兩制”、“港人治港”、高度自治的方針和香港特別行政區基本法得到全面貫徹執行。香港社會穩定，人心穩定，經濟保持穩健運行。

The smooth transition of power in Hong Kong is a great success attributable to Deng Xiaoping’s concept of “one country, two systems” and will facilitate the return of Macao to the motherland and the solution of the Taiwan issue, all with a view to achieving the complete reunification of the motherland. Since its return, Hong Kong’s previous socioeconomic system and way of life have remained unchanged and its laws have been kept basically unchanged. The policies of “one country, two systems”, and “Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong” with a high degree of autonomy, and the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have been implemented in an all-round way. Hong Kong now enjoys social stability, its residents have a sense of security and its economy is developing smoothly.

中央政府全力支持香港特別行政區政府的工作，支持香港為應付東南亞金融風暴的沖擊而采取的措施。我們高興地看到，香港特別行政區作為獨立的選舉單位，選出自己的全國人大代表，出席本次大會，參與管理國家大事。香港回歸祖國以來已經有了一個良好的開端，也一定會有更加美好的未來。

The central government has given full support to the government of HKSAR in its work and in the measures it has taken for dealing with the impact of the financial crises in Southeast Asian countries. We are pleased to see that, as an independent constituency, HKSAR has elected deputies to attend this congress and participate in the administration of state affairs. Hong Kong’s return has had a good beginning and Hong Kong’s future will be even brighter.
