Lucky :: Personal Narrative Writing

Lucky When I was little, I used to dream about being the Governor of Hong Kong. I still remember the com prepare I wrote in my primary school, in which I conveyed my vision and even outlined the policies I planned to hire out once I became the leader of the government. After a some eld, I realized that it was al approximately impossible for me to be the Governor of Hong Kong, because the position was in fact appointed by the British government. This was a pick of disheartening news. I tried to console myself by saying that at least I had aimed at entering politics. In my mind, politicians are non only smart, but also selfless and I sincerely comprehended their contribution to the society. In Hong Kong, however, it was unusual, if not odd, for a young boy to requisite to be a politician. You might accuse me of over-generalizing, but this was what I supposition at that time. A few years later, as my general noesis of the world outside my classroom gradually develope d, a gleam of swallow was shed on my dream again. I realized that Hong Kong people would lastly have the chance to choose their own governor some years after the handover of Hong Kong back to Mainland china in 1997. The idea of Hong Kong being re glowering to China was frightening to many Hong Kong people in the early 80s, but the handover turned out to be a joyful and memorable moment for most of the citizens. Today, Hong Kong is no longer a colony of Britain and Chinese are retentiveness most of the top positions in the government. More significantly, the Governor, now renamed as the foreland Executive, is also Chinese. In other words, I still have my chance. I am convinced that not only I, but the Hong Kong community in general welcomes this semipolitical change, which brings more power to the hands of Hong Kong citizens. Possessing more political rights seems to be a foreign concept to us, but it definitely sounds similar something positive. People used to wonder why Hong Kong people were so torpid to politics. I think I know the answer now. It is indeed in truth straightforward. Hong Kong people were essentially unable to make an impact on the government, as we were under the rule of foreigners.
