At 8: 00 am on July 1 2022, the Hong Kong SAR Government held a flag-raising ceremony at Golden Bauhinia Square to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. In the music of "Singing the Motherland", the flag-protecting team paraded into the stadium with the five-star red flag and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on their shoulders.
Starting from July 1 day, the disciplined forces in Hong Kong completely switched to Chinese walking exercises. In the Hong Kong Police Force, in addition to various ceremonies and graduation parades, police officers at all levels have to observe China marching etiquette such as salute.
Sheriff Zhan of hong kong police college is one of the instructors of the flag protection team. Before today's flag-raising ceremony, he led the flag protection team for more than half a year's training. In Zhan's view, China's race walking can show a sense of belonging to the motherland and national feelings.
Selection of Hong Kong Police Flag Guard Team
Hong kong police college Sheriff Zhan said: The main members of the Hong Kong Police Flag Guard Team are instructors and trainees from the Police Academy, including six flag raisers, 1 commander and 20 flag guards.
Most of them are freshmen in the police academy. When I first entered the police academy, I probably didn't know that I would play such an important role in such a big ceremony as 1, and I didn't learn the steps. From not knowing the race walking in China at all, to attending the flag-raising ceremony of Golden Bauhinia Square on July 1 day, they have to pay a lot of sweat and go through a lot of exercise.
In fact, they started training many months ago, rehearsed many times, and arranged for them to perform China's walking exercises at other ceremonies. Up to now, the training time has been more than half a year. They also like to practice China's walking and do their most standard movements. Their training has also met the requirements in my mind.
