Nowadays, when we talk about Macao, we all know that it belongs to China. But a long time ago, it’s robbed by Portuguesa. At the midnight of December 20, 1999, the Portuguese and China government held a handover ceremony at the Macao cultural center, which meant Chinese government has resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Macao and Macao returned to the motherland. As it is a great thing in the journey of China achieves the great cause of reunification, people make December 20th every year as the returning anniversary of Macao.

如今，只要我們說起澳門的時候，我們都知道它是屬于中國的。但是很久以前，它是被葡萄牙占領(lǐng)的。1999年12月20日零時，中葡兩國政府在澳門文化中心舉行政權(quán)交接儀式，中國政府對澳門恢復(fù)行使主權(quán)，澳門回歸祖國。由于這在中華民族實現(xiàn)統(tǒng)一大業(yè)的旅途中的一盛舉，所以大家把每年的12月20日定為澳門回歸紀念日。

Macao used to be a small fishing village. But, Eastern and Western culture have been blended with each other in the later four hundred years, leaving many historical and cultural heritages, which make Macao into a unique city. Macao’s area is very small, but it is one of the most densely populated places in the world, as well as one of the high incomes of per capital in Asia. It is an international metropolis.

澳門以前是個小漁村。但是，在后來的四百多年時間里，東西文化一直在此地相互交融，留下了許多歷史文化遺產(chǎn)，使澳門成為一個獨特的城市。澳門的面積很小，是世界上人口最稠密的地方之一，也是亞洲人均收入比較高的地區(qū)。它是一個國際化的都市。
