The Chronicles of Hong Kong: The
Voyage of the Greater Bay Area
Korean International Springboard, Wai, Kaden – 13
Long ago, in 1789, the three heroes Thomas, Ming and Zheng ruled over Guangdong
city. They brought great joy and prosperity to the city. But the three heroes and the King
and Queens from the last battle had decided that the 11 cities including the farther cities
Guangzhou and Zhaoqing should be named the Greater Bay Area since the 11 cities were
close to the South China Sea. Everyone agreed and had a large celebration. The first maker of
fireworks Shi Shi launched fireworks into the sky. Everyone was amazed. In 1801, they didn’t
have any wives to marry, so they wanted to live together. In 1802, they had three German
Shepherds called Lightning, Thunder and Buster. The three were used for battle. But mostly
they would play with them. Until, one day a terrible lightning storm caused severe damage
To Guangdong City. “This storm is getting more dangerous every week!” said Thomas.
“I agree” said Ming. “Someone must be attacking us” said Zheng
After four months, they decided to take a large blimp with missiles, bullets, and a large
laser gun to Guangdong. The team had an army of their own with 60 soldiers. The team
was going to find out what was causing the problem. But first Thomas had to do something.
“I need to go to Taiwan first.” he said. “Why?” said Zheng “to take back the throne from my
uncle. He tried to kill my father’s closest friends. The 7 lords of Huizhou. No one has ever
heard of them since” Thomas said. Until the captain Rottenbeard who was one of the blimp’s
crew said, “Sir, we reached Taiwan. At sunset, they were getting closer to Taipei. “The island
of Taiwan” Ming said. “Hmph. Not a Greater Bay Area flag in sight” Shi Shi said. “I thought
Taiwan was always the Greater Bay Area’s” said Zheng. “I decide we should use planes.” said
Thomas. “Good Idea” said Rottenbeard. So they took 8 planes down to the ground until
at last they made it. “We’re in Taipei.” said Zheng. “Are you sure you remember this is the
city where your uncle lives Thomas?” said Ming “Yes” said Thomas. The dogs came to sniff
around the place. Then, the tower started to chime with a BANG. The team was about to
shoot their crossbows but it was just the bell. “Crew, guard the planes and be on guard and
if we don’t come back by dawn, send a search party.” said Thomas. The dogs came with the
team. Later on in the morning, they came towards the large tower with seven large bells.
“You dogs stay here. Be on the lookout.” said Thomas. They went inside. It was all rusty and
old. Then, they saw a book with tons of names with large numbers next to it. “Who are these
people?” said Ming “Why have they been crossed out?” said Zheng. “Slave Traders.” said
Thomas. Then there was trouble. One of the bells rang and it came down “LOOK OUT!”
said Ming. It was Thomas’s uncle and he had an army. The heroes fought them with swords
and crossbows. But as they continued fighting, Owen’s uncle carried the three dogs with
his sword right next to them. “Unless you want to hear these dogs whimper again, I’d say
you’d drop your weapons. “The dogs whimpered “NOW!” he said. So they all dropped their
weapons slowly. “Put them in irons” said Thomas’s’s uncle. Thomas’s Uncle placed the dogs in
irons as well. “Get your hands off me!” said Ming. Thomas, Ming, Rottenbeard and Zheng
were sent to the market. Listen to me you ruthless fool. I am your king!” said Thomas. One
of the men hit Zheng in the face. “You’re gonna pay for that!” said Zheng. Then, the evil
