Was there anyone involved in the negotiations of New Territories (Hong Kong) lease still alive at the time of the negotiations of its return to China?

It's possible, although very unlikely.
Almost all diplomats are at least 40 years old. This means that a diplomat alive in 1971 would be 113 years old, which is a rare and newsworthy age. The attachés, secretaries, and so forth are younger, but it is not clear how involved they would be in actually signing the treaty.
