7-1:Once completed, the Three Gorges Project itself will become a new wonder of the world. The giant dam will stand upstream to hold back Wushan Mountain's clouds and rain. A gigantic shiplock will stand there to lift towboats with a total tonnage up to 10,000 over the dam. The hydropower station, as dazzling as a palace, will shoot out its mighty current through an extensive power--grid. 7-2:As a hallmark of the great success of the concept of “one country, two systems,” Hong Kong's return to the motherland constitutes a crucial step taken by the Chinese people in the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. Since Hong Kong's return, the policies of “one country, two systems”, “Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong” and a high degree of autonomy have been implemented conscientiously, and Hong Kong has maintained its prosperity and stability. Facts will prove that the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and our compatriots in Hong Kong will surely be able to administer Hong Kong well in accordance with the Basic Law of the HKSAR. |
