The Greater Bay Area
W F Joseph Lee Primary School, Tai, Xi Wen - 10
2019…
At a far away land in the southeast of China, there was a land called Hong Kong. Running between the
busy and crowded streets in Hong Kong, there were three brothers who study in primary school, Tom,
Tam and Tim, who had the same big dream.
“We want to be the bosses of the marketing and trading centre!” said the three brothers. Although their
parents were poor, they still tried their best to help them fulfil their dream.
The boys worked hard studying at primary school. They knew that they had to learn more in order to get to
their dream. “This makes them show more eagerness to learn at any subject than other students in class,”
their parent always said. But because they always got good results, they were always bullies’ targets.
At recess one day in school, a gang of four primary six bullies held them up. Tom asked loudly, “What are
you doing?”
“I thought you know everything. Huh? Being the best in class? Haha, so smart!” said the tallest bully as he
pushed his face toward the elder brother Tom.
The three brothers all moved back a step. The youngest brother even shed a tear. Tam shouted anxiously,
“What’s wrong getting high marks? Move away from us or else I’ll call the teacher!” When the bullies saw
the teacher at their back, they scrambled away.
At home, the boys told their parents what happened. Their parents told them to “learn from their mistakes”
And they did for the other six years. They helped their parents by doing summer jobs. They learnt fast.
Time went faster. They were all adults now. They finished their diplomas in a UK university. Because they
had good results, they were all admitted to Oxford university.
2028…
After a lot of hard work and supporting, the three brothers finally finished their master degrees in University
of Oxford. They went back home to find a way to make their dreams come true. They parted in Hong
Kong and each found their ways. The biggest brother went to Guangzhou. He thought it would be the best
place to become a boss. Thus, he found a job as a financial analyst. The second brother went to Macau, as it
was previously ruled by Portuguese. He loved that place very much. He got a job as a marketing director.
The smallest brother stayed in Hong Kong. He could not forget his home. He became a marketing
consultant. They liked their job very much.
As time went by, the moved from level 3 to level 2, from level 2 to CEO and from CEO to boss. They
became shares-holders. The finished their dream. But it’s not enough, the worked hard to buy companies,
and construct their city using money. Later, the biggest brother became the governor of Guangzhou, the
second and the smallest brother both were voted as the chief executives of Macau and Hong Kong.
Later, they started to link all the Greater Bay Areas together. Making them the greatest global marketing and
trading centre point. Inventing 6G+ technology, teleport technology, 4D items technology and etc. They
made the once left-behind cities come on stage and shine forever.
