Hey everyone! 🎈 Did you hear about the big celebration in Macao? On Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping gave a special speech to celebrate 25 years since Macao returned to China. That’s like celebrating a 25th birthday! 🎂
Macao is a small region on the southern coast of China. It was once under Portuguese control for over 400 years! But in 1999, Macao reunited with China and became a Special Administrative Region, or SAR for short. This means Macao is part of China but has its own local government and a high degree of autonomy. Pretty cool, right?
At the ceremony, President Xi also welcomed the new government of Macao SAR. He encouraged everyone to keep working together to make Macao a great place. He talked about the importance of young people in building the future. That’s people like you! 🌟
This celebration shows how Macao has grown and changed over the past 25 years. It’s a reminder of the friendship and connection between Macao and the rest of China. Let’s wish Macao a happy anniversary and look forward to the exciting things ahead! 🎆
