The transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to China, often referred to as "The Handover", occurred on July 1, 1997. The event marked the end of British rule, and the return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule.

at 00:00 a.m. 1st July 1997, Prince Charles handed Hong Kong over to China!
A rainy night - I watched the handover ceremony - TV boardcast at home - I was in Hong Kong - I still remember how I felt about it when I saw the Chinese flag hoisted ... Woah!!!!! Chinese army marched across the boundary....!!!!! I am proud to be a Chinese, ... what a day!
It rained heavily on 30th June 1997 - whole day and seemed like we needed to wash away the shame of lost of Opium Wars ... after the hand over ceremony, it stopped raining, what a coincidence!

@天空好悲:
Plz don't blame the Empress Dowager Cixi. As a woman, she did her best to same the last empire of China. With the 8 European countries invading China at the same time, she at least managed to saved the nation from being 100% colonized like India. It was a hard time for all Chinese including Empress herself.
