In 1995, the British sold off their assets in Hong Kong on a large scale, creating a downward gap. The British-funded Jardine Matheson, Hongkong Land, Swire and Kadoorie families sold their core assets on a large scale, and then crossed the sea to the west.

And who is taking over these thrown assets? The Chinese tycoons have taken over some of them, and there are many "red chips" in the process. At that time, the mainland's image of Hong Kong's "backing" and its consistent tradition of saving face led to a large number of industrial and commercial buildings in 1995. And leave a deep impression of the "local tyrant" in the market.

As 97 approached, the market went into a frenzy. The slogan of the Hong Kong people is: "The mainland will definitely take over."

But no one has ever heard this slogan in any media in the mainland. So Hong Kong people desperately speculated on high property prices, bears heart and leopard gall. In 1995-1997, it was a sharp upward curve, with an increase of nearly +50%.

In fact, the collapse of housing prices after 97 was all caused by the rise in 1995 --- 1997. Eighteen months to be exact.

And then almost all the media are tired of educating people about the "Japanese real estate bubble" and "Hong Kong real estate bubble". How did Japan's real estate collapse, and Hong Kong's real estate plummeted. The Dutch tulip bubble of the year----- "It's scary, I'll tell you." ”

Of course, if someone is not bluffed. went down the road of property speculation, and then what I got was that the house price increased more than ten times.

With the growth of knowledge and experience, people gradually know that there is a kind of air around them called "poison education".

The meaning of "poison education" is to take you directly to the ditch when you are still ignorant. Directly wash you away stupidity, wash away your three views.

So much so that many people do not know that they are living in a time and space of lies after the age of 20. Awareness of "illusions" is the most crucial step, and all enlightenment begins with doubt.

"Now that the Yangtze River basin is flooding, you go back at this time, and you have neither a flight nor a broken road to go back?" Su Jian persuaded.

"I called from home and said that the old man hadn't gone back to his hometown yet, and there were only my mother and children at home, did you say I wouldn't go back?" Qin Fan said with some anxiety, he was not afraid that his home would be flooded, but that his mother would have an accident in a hurry.

In the end, Qin Fan did not listen to Su Jian's advice, and rushed back with Tang Yue one stop after another. The hardships of the journey are indescribable, and the closer I get to my hometown, the more I see collapsed houses, and most of the homes submerged under water.

The rescue officers and soldiers could not stop the flood with the existing relief materials, so in a hurry, they jumped into the river one after another, used their bodies as a retaining wall, and forcibly built a human wall on both sides of the Yangtze River, defending the people with their own lives.

A once-in-a-century flood. There have been eight flood peaks in the Yangtze River basin, involving 29 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, causing great losses. Among them, the direct economic losses exceeded 10 trillion yuan, the number of dead and injured exceeded 1,000, and a large number of buildings were destroyed.

Perhaps for many people, this flood was just an ordinary disaster, but for the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front line at that time, this flood was a thrilling war.

For those who lived through this disaster, this is a memory that will never be forgotten for a lifetime!

......

Outside the embankment is the raging flood, and inside the embankment is the stormy home. At the gap are thousands of soldiers struggling to fight the flood.

......

The long-distance bus in the rain is difficult to move forward, the closer to the homeland, the more timid, when passing by the Qinghe, the original clear Qinghe has become a tumbling mud river, the river overflows the dam waist, close to the dam top, when passing the Wuli Bridge, each carefully waded through a car, the passengers in the car automatically get off, cross the bridge on foot in the rain.

Tang Yue, who had been strong all the way, was already full of tears at this time, and she couldn't tell whether it was fear or the excitement of seeing her parents.

Seeing Tang Yue's mother hugging Tang Yue and crying with a voice of "come on, come on", Qin Fan quietly turned around and walked home.

In the rumbling thunder and rushing rain, when Qin Fan appeared at the door of the house, Xuemei, who saw him first, screamed, ignoring the muddy water on his body, hugged him tightly and cried mournfully. Then there was Ruoxin and Ruo Ling, who were staring at him blankly, and behind them was their mother wiping her tears.

..........................................................................

"Why is this rain endless?" Xuemei said sadly. Any bad weather such as rain and snow will affect the business of the hotel, Xuemei has been accustomed to daily inventory of inputs, and she is a little panicked when she sees that the receipts in the past month are getting less and less.

"What do you say?" asked Xuemei, turning her head.

Qin Fan, who was talking to Jiasheng on the phone, replied nonchalantly: "The rain will always pass." "The torrential rain at this time was heavier than any of the previous days, like splashing water and then lightning and thunder, and it seemed that there was no stopping.

Qin Fan, who had just contacted Jiasheng, learned that the school building funded a few years ago was not a problem in the wind and rain, but the students had stopped classes early, and the school building was full of villagers who had fled.

If you are not a savior, you can't have the ability to save the world, and you don't want to take on that somewhat heavy responsibility. He knows that no matter where he is, his foundation is very shallow, and if money does not cross with the powerful, it will always be a castle on the beach, and the sea will disappear without a trace when it comes and goes.

..........................................................................

From the living room, Qin's mother's cry came.

"Dad, why is grandma crying?" Ruoxin and Ruoling looked at him in a daze, Xuemei was also very surprised, the two hurriedly came to the living room, and saw Qin's mother crying while watching TV.

Appears on the TV screen: flooded village, there are faint people in the water who keep struggling, when the picture cuts back again, a little girl in the flood, tightly, tightly hugging a big tree, every time the flood rises a section, she quickly climbs a section, poplar trees are very easy to see in the countryside, the trunk of the poplar tree is relatively straight, it is very difficult to make a girl climb up, but this little girl did it, and has not let go in the flood.

When rescuers found the little girl holding the trunk of the tree in time, she had been holding out for nine hours. In this disaster, she lost her home and her family. Originally, the family of six lived happily ever after, but now there is only one person left.

Seeing the girl on TV, she was only more than a year older than Xiao Ruoxin, Qin Fan's heart was also uncomfortable, Xuemei also wiped her tears at this time, Qin's mother hugged Ruoxin who came to wipe her tears, as if she was afraid of losing her child, Qin Fan knew that women had a sense of substitution.

In the face of disaster, people are small but also strong......

"I don't know what's going on with your dad, and I won't call. The mother said to her son worriedly.

"Mom, it should be fine, although my hometown is also on the Yangtze River, but I remember my father said that the terrain there is relatively high, and it will be fine. Qin Fan comforted.

Qin's mother thought for a while and said, "I don't know what happened to your grandfather and grandmother, they live in more houses than ours, wait for the rain to be a little lighter, you go over and take a look." ”

"Mom, didn't you call to ask?" Qin Fan asked suspiciously, grandma's house was equipped with a phone.

"Hit is beat, your grandmother said that the water is only at the mouth of the alley, I don't worry. Mother Qin said worriedly.

...............................................................................

The torrential rain finally stopped, and the golden sunlight was shining through the gaps in the thick clouds. Under the urging of Qin's mother, Qin Fan led Ruoxin and Ruoling, who were noisy to follow, and the stagnant water along the way made the children who came out very excited, and stepped into the water with rubber shoes.

The water along the road slowly receded, only the water surface in the Jiudun Pond was still lapping against the dam, and the pavement of the old street was full of deep water that had not yet receded.

The water at the mouth of the alley is deeper, this is the lowest place in the city, Qin Fan took turns to carry the children over the water, and the shops on both sides of the street were piled up with bags of sandbags, some of which were more than a meter high.

When my grandmother saw the two little ones, her wrinkled faces stretched out happily, and my aunt happily kissed them all over her face. Qin's mother was worried about their second elder and sister at home, and they were also worried about their daughter's family.

Ruoxin and Ruoling surrounded the grandmother and talked sweetly, causing the grandmother to laugh and scold: "You are really like your father, your mouth is very sweet." ”

Qin Fan called his mother as soon as possible and told her that everything was fine here.

......

Qin Fan, who was standing at the head of the city wall, saw that the original pontoon bridge on the river had already been washed away by the flood, and the temporarily called sand dredging boats ferried the pedestrians crossing the river back and forth.

.........................................................................

When Qin Fan, who returned home, saw Principal Xu talking to his mother, and saw him and the children entering the door, Qin's mother said to him: "Yueyue is sick, you have to go and see it." ”

Qin Fan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there a big problem?"

Principal Xu shook his head, indicating that it was no big deal, and then carefully asked him and Tang Yue how they came back, and when Qin Fan briefly recounted what happened on the road, her tears did not stop.

Whose children are not treasures? It was also heart-wrenching to hear what happened to them along the way, especially when they heard that the bus they were sitting in was besieged by a sudden flood on the way, although they had arrived home safely, the two mothers could not help but scream.
