Who can tell me the historical story about Hong Kong?

Before the British occupation of Hong Kong, Hong Kong was basically a desert island. Some fishermen lived in Stanley, Datandu and Shipai Bay in the south, and Agongyan and Shuijing Bay in the east.

Earlier, the British took a fancy to Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, which has the potential to become an excellent port in East Asia. Until the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the late19th century, the territory was ceded to Britain in batches and became a British colony.

184165438+1October 26th, after the First Opium War, Britain occupied Hong Kong Island, and the Qing government tried to recover it by force afterwards. Daoguang issued many decrees for this purpose, but the Qing Dynasty could never defend its territorial integrity.

Extended data:

In the early 1980s, in order to realize the peaceful reunification of the country, Deng Xiaoping, the national leader, creatively put forward the scientific concept of "one country, two systems", which was first used to solve the Hong Kong issue.

According to Deng Xiaoping, one country, two systems means that under the premise of one China, the main body of the state adheres to the socialist system, and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan provinces maintain the original capitalist system for a long time.

After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the policy will remain unchanged for 50 years, and there is no need to change it after 50 years. After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, one country, two systems has changed from a scientific concept to a vivid reality.

The central government strictly abides by the Basic Law of Hong Kong, conscientiously fulfills its constitutional responsibilities, and firmly supports the Chief Executive and the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in governing the country according to law.
