近二十年来,我已记不清楚来过上海多少次。可是我知道,每次来上海都会有新的感受。上海的确是日新月异,处处给人以奋进、兴旺的感觉。 香港跟上海一样,也在不断出现新的发展、新的变化。今年以来,变化之大、之快,更是危中有机,充满挑战。我们受到了SARS的冲击,但经济很快恢复过来。我们签署了备受海内外关注的《内地与香港更紧密经贸关系的安排》(CEPA),又开始接待内地大量到来的个人旅游客,整个城市又兴旺起来了。 For nearly two decades, I have not been able to remember how many times I’ve been in Shanghai. But I know that every time I come to Shanghai will have a new feeling. Shanghai is indeed changing with each passing day, giving people a feeling of progress and prosperity everywhere. Like Shanghai, Hong Kong is also constantly seeing new developments and new changes. Since the beginning of this year, great changes have taken place. It is even more dangerous and full of challenges. We were hit by the SARS but the economy recovered quickly. We signed CEPA, a closely watched domestic and overseas arrangement for CEPA. We have also started to receive a large number of individual tourists coming to the Mainland and the entire city is thriving again.
