Administrative Region (HKSAR) to make policies on sports on its own.✧ Students understand that the Basic Law ensures that the non-government sports

Learning Experiences Relevant Materials

(1) Introduction➢ Teachers show Ling Ling’s itinerary and point out that Ling Ling took

grandmother and uncle to visit Cheung Chau today.➢ Students share their knowledge of Cheung Chau.

(2) Development➢ Teachers explain the character’s trip on the second day:

1. Ling Ling’s family, grandmother and uncle visited Cheung Po Tsai Cave, Kwun Yam Beach (Afternoon Beach) and the windsurfing practising site. They saw some athletes practising windsurfing at the windsurfing practising site.

2. They saw a windsurfing sculpture at Tung Wan Children’s Playground. This sculpture was one of the ten sculptures that the Government built in 1996 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games. At first, the sculpture was put at the Sha Tin Central Park. In that year, Hong Kong windsurfing athlete Lee Lai-shan won the first Olympic gold medal for Hong Kong at the Atlantic Olympic Games in the USA. So the Government moved the sculpture to Lee Lai-shan’s hometown, Cheung Chau, to commemorate her glorious achievement for Hong Kong.

➢ Before the lessons, students collect the information about Lee Lai-shan’s winning the gold medal; then share and discuss in the lessons:1. At the prize-giving ceremony of the Olympic Games in that year, the

flag of which country did they raise, and the anthem of which country did they play? (The flag they raised did not belong to any country; they played the British anthem.)

2. Lee Lai-shan is a Chinese. She was born and grew up in Hong Kong, and represented Hong Kong for the competition. Why did they play the British anthem, and raised the flag that was similar to the British national flag? (Hong Kong has been part of the territory of China since ancient times, but it was under the British rule in 1996.)

➢ Watching Short Video:1. Students watch the short video, “Chan King-yin – Son of the Wind, Hong Kong”.2. After watching the short video, teachers ask:

5-52




- After Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997, what identity did Hong Kong athletes use to join international sports events? (Delegates of “Hong Kong, China”)

- When Hong Kong athletes won prizes, which national anthem did they play and which flag did they raise at the prize giving ceremony? (The national anthem of the People’s Republic of China and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region)

- Why is the identity of “Athletes of Hong Kong, China” good for Hong Kong athletes? (e.g. They will have more opportunities to have exchanges with mainland athletes. / They will have more opportunities to join international sports competitions and gain competition experience.)

- What are your views and feelings after watching Chan King-yin’s story and his experience of winning the medal?

(3) Brief Summary➢ There are a lot of outstanding athletes in Hong Kong. They work very hard

in their training and fight gloriously for the State and for Hong Kong.➢ Under the protection of the Basic Law, they may join international sports

competitions and events as athletes of “Hong Kong, China”. This realizes the spirit of “one country, two systems’.

• Short Video:Chan King-yin – Son of the Wind, Hong Kong

Tips for Teachers:1. Teachers may search on their own or ask students to search for the pictures/news/short videos of

Lee Lai-shan’s story of winning the Olympic gold medal in 1996, so that students may have more information for the discussion.

2. In the learning and teaching process, teachers should focus on the contents of the Basic Law rather than explaining in detail the stories of particular athletes.
