Opportunity Knocks
Diocesan Girls' Junior School, Fung, Pui Ying - 11
I see the flickering city lights
Shining as bright as a flame.
Twice the population of Canada
But doesn’t have a name.
Some might call it Cantonesia
For Cantonese is what they speak.
I prefer calling it Goldenia
For this place is dazzling and unique.
Economically vibrant and highly innovative
Amazingly advanced technological development
Ideal for living, working or travelling,
An area of high employment.
This place is a glittering garden
Adorned with red roses and sweet-smelling lilies
Abounding with cultural specialties
Blossoming with contingencies and opportunities.
This place is a lively theme park
Intact with fun, games and entertainment
Sweet and savoury food from all around the world
Jubilant people bustling on the busy pavement.
Can you hear the chances knocking on your door?
Can you taste the sweet success on your tongue?
Here it is passionate, perfect and peaceful.
Here it is the Greater Bay Area.
