It is no doubt World War II. During the Nanjing Massacre, many innocent Chinese people were killed.

At the time when the June Fourth Incident took place, I could see students holding strikes slonside with tanks through the television. These scenes aroused a sense of nationalism in me.

It has to be the June Fourth Incident. The death of students were such a big loss. This event also brought tremendous

impact on the progress of democracy in China.

It is the June Fourth student movement. Due to the frequent reporting, I am particularly familiar with this incident. Being a Chinese, we should have every obligation to care about it.

The downturn of Hong Kong economy. To me, HK's economy has always been running smooth. But the recent slump in the stock market and the recession of the retailing industry showed that things can turn out that disappointingly.

The change of Hong Kong from a British colony to a Special Administrative Region was a once-in-lifetime event and it also signified the change in the political climate and democratic tempo in Hong Kong. The nicely-organized activities during the handover also impressed me a lot.
