Even closer to home, another story about a renewal of ties and restoration of friendships. There'll be a big celebration as Hong Kong prepares to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of its return to China.
Eager to buy tickets for a night gala staged by mainland artists, people of Hong Kong started lining up at dawn. The Chinese Mainland has provided legions of dancers, singers, and folk art performers for the celebration. In exchange, Hong Kong's top performing artists are in Shanghai, Beijing and other major cities.
These growing cultural exchanges during the past ten years are bringing the two closer, restoring the ties, and bridging the long span of years, when Hong Kong came under the control of a foreign power.
