018 [Pioneer of New Wave Cinema]
Wait for the ferry to arrive at the Hong Kong Pier on Hong Kong Island.
Huo Yaowen took the lead in stepping on the wooden plank that connected to the land with a large brown suitcase, walked to the shore and waited for Ming Tsai to come over.
The dense crowd of people on the ferry got off the boat, and they saw Ming Tsai holding the futon and carefully stepping ashore.
Huo Yaowen glanced at the futon that Ming Tsai was holding, and thought that the bus stop was still a long way from here, and if he didn't take something, he would just walk over it, but it was very inconvenient to carry the futon and carry a large suitcase.
Glancing at the endless flow of people on the shore, Huo Yaowen suddenly noticed that there were a few rickshaws parked outside the houseboat, he patted Ming Tsai who came over on the shoulder, pointed to a few people pulling rickshaws over there, and said, "Ming Tsai, you put your things away, go over there and call two rickshaws." ”
"Ah~?It's called a rickshaw? It's very expensive, Brother Yaowen, let's just walk to the bus stop." "Ming Tsai is a little reluctant to spend money, you must know that taking a rickshaw to the bus stop costs at least two dollars, which is enough to eat two large bowls of wings.
Huo Yaowen smiled: "It's okay, Brother Yaowen has money now, go and call two cars." ”
Now it is different from before, with the development of science and technology, the promotion of buses, Hong Kong's rickshaw resources are becoming less and less, in the past, those who relied on coolies to pull carts to eat, most of them have moved to other professions, and rickshaws have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.
However, there are still a few people who are pulling rickshaws, and relying on the convenience of short-distance vehicles, they make a lot more than before.
"Okay, I'll call two cars, I haven't sat in it since I was a child!" Ming Tsai didn't refuse when he heard this, nodded with a smile, put down the futon, turned around and trotted out.
Don't talk about you, I've never sat on it!
Huo Yaowen looked at the back of the departing Ming Tsai and chuckled, he had never taken a rickshaw in this life or in his previous life, and there was no such profession in the future life, but now it is because he is saving money.
When Ming Tsai called two rickshaws and negotiated the price, Huo Yaowen carefully sat on it, the "chassis" of this car was still quite high, with two huge wheels, at least 30 centimeters high from the ground.
The rickshaw master of Laho Yaowen, about fifty years old, because of the sun outside, his skin was not only dark, but also a little red, he glanced at the person next to him, and when he was ready, he turned back with a smile and said, "Two young masters, please sit down, we are leaving." ”
Immediately, the two cart pullers threw off their arms, opened their thick and powerful thighs, and ran towards the bus stop about a mile away.
Sitting on the rickshaw, Huo Yaowen looked at the scenery around the wharf under the not-so-scorching sun, there were workers moving goods, pedestrians who came by ferry from the Kowloon Peninsula, and minivans who came to load goods.
...
Seven or eight minutes later,
Fok Yiu-man and Ming Tsai, who got on the rickshaw, arrived at the bus stop smoothly and waited for more than ten minutes before getting on the bus to the University of Hong Kong.
After buying a ticket and getting on the bus, and finding a seat to sit down, Ming Tsai hurriedly said: "Brother Yaowen, the master who pulled the rickshaw just now actually called me young master, hehe, I haven't been called that since I was a child!"
"Hehe......" Facing the stupid Ming Tsai, Huo Yaowen thought for a while and explained: "Most of the people who are still pulling rickshaws are forty or fifty years old, and they have been pulling rickshaws since twenty years ago. Nowadays, there are basically no young people pulling rickshaws. ”
"Who still does this now, just go out and find something to do, it's not more profitable than pulling a rickshaw, it's very decent! Anyway, if you give me more money, I'll kill someone who can't pull a rickshaw." Ming Tsai made a big fuss.
As soon as these words came out, a girl in a plaid shirt sitting at the front couldn't help frowning, and turned around to stare at Ming Tsai who was talking with dissatisfied eyes.
Huo Yaowen glared at Ming Tsai, and said angrily: "These people are all for life, there is nothing decent or undecent, in Hong Kong twenty years ago, pulling a car was considered a decent life, but it is not something that anyone can pull if they want to!"
When the plaid girl heard Huo Yaowen's words, she couldn't help but glance at him, and saw that the other party was wearing a white shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and frames, looking polite, she couldn't help but feel good, and couldn't help but say: "What this gentleman said is very right, it's all for life, there is nothing decent or undecent." All men are created equal, everything has a reason for its existence, you are not willing to walk, naturally someone is willing to pull a car for you. Everyone has a different life, some people are for life, some people are for ideals, some people are ambitious, and some people are down-to-earth, which distinguishes between decent and undignified lives. ”
Ming Tsai couldn't help but blush when he saw the girl in front of him looking back at him, and he didn't understand what she was saying at all.
On the contrary, Huo Yaowen heard the meaning of the mockery in the plaid shirt girl's words, but after glancing at Ming Tsai's blushing face and being silent, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly, it seemed that this guy didn't understand that the other party was scolding him for being so ambitious.
Huo Yaowen helped: "My friend is just unintentional, he is still young, and it is inevitable that he will be ambitious." My name is Huo Yaowen, I don't know what the girl's name is?"
The plaid girl was not shy and timid, but stretched out her hand very straightforwardly and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Xu Anhua." ”
"Xu Anhua!"
Hearing this familiar name that looks a bit like a man, coupled with the appearance of the future generations, Huo Yaowen compared it with the girl in front of him who was about 20 years old, and it seemed that he was indeed the person in his memory, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, he didn't expect to take a bus casually, and he could meet the famous pioneer of Hong Kong New Wave films in the late 70s, and the most influential female director Hui Anhua at that time.
Stretching out his hand to shake the other party, Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Miss Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"You don't need to call me Miss, I'm not a Miss. Xu Anhua shook his head again and again, the title of Miss at the moment generally refers to the daughter of a large family, although Xu Anhua's family conditions are acceptable, because of his father's identity, life in Hong Kong is not bad, but it is not a rich and noble family.
At this time, the bus stopped, and the driver sitting in front of him roared to the back: "The University of Hong Kong has arrived, if you want to get off the bus, get off quickly, I won't stop after the stop." ”
"The master got out of the car. ”
When Xu Anhua heard this, he hurriedly picked up the small bag next to him.
"Ming Tsai took the futon and we got out of the car. ”
Huo Yaowen also hurriedly carried his suitcase and prepared to get out of the car, and patted Ming Tsai in a daze by the way.
Wait for the three of them to get out of the car.
Xu Anhua noticed that Huo Yaowen also came down, and saw the suitcase that the other party was carrying, and the futon that Ming Tsai was holding, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Huo Yaowen, are you also a student at the University of Hong Kong?"
Fok Yaowen shook his head and said, "No, I am the new lecturer of the philosophy course of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong. ”
Ann Hui: "!!"
Looking at the young and handsome Huo Yaowen, Xu Anhua, who is only in his twenties, is naturally like most young girls, and has a good impression, especially when he heard that the other party claimed to be a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Hong Kong, Xu Anhua's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect Mr. Huo to be a lecturer in philosophy in the Department of Literature of the Faculty of Arts. ”
Seeing Huo Yaowen's face puzzled.
Xu Anhua hurriedly explained: "I am a freshman in the Department of Literature of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong this year, and Mr. Huo will ask for more advice in the future. ”
Hui Anhua studied late when she was a child, so she was worthy of going to university at the age of 21, but Fok Yiuwen, who was the same age as her, had successfully graduated from university and became a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Hong Kong.
When Huo Yaowen heard this, his face was stunned, and then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that classmate Xu is also a freshman this year." ”
Huo Yaowen didn't expect that Xu Anhua, who looked about the same age as him, was actually a freshman at the University of Hong Kong this year, and said that he liked philosophy very much and wanted to take his own courses, so he couldn't help but smile in his heart, it seems that he will have many amazing celebrity students in the future.
