294 [Federation of Teachers and Workers]

Los Angeles, USA, Zhenfan Martial Arts Center.

Bruce Lee put down the phone a little lost, stared straight ahead, his eyes were blank, and he sighed slightly after a long time: "It seems that I take it for granted." ”

After returning to the United States from Hong Kong last year, Bruce Lee confidently went to many film companies for interviews, but he tossed and made a fuss in the end, and it took a few months, that is, he played the role of a less important kung fu coach in the TV series "Chasing the Blind Man".

This also took a hit to Bruce Lee's self-confidence.

"Honey!"

Linda hurriedly ran in from outside, holding a telegram that had just been delivered from the post office, and said excitedly to Bruce Lee: "Evan sent a telegram saying that the owner of a film company in Hong Kong invited you to make a movie!"

"Yaowen?" Bruce Lee frowned and took the telegram list, quickly glanced at the content on it, and said that there was a film company called Golden Harvest in Hong Kong, please contact him, and the other party will come to the United States in person to invite him soon.

"My dear, why don't we go back to Hong Kong!"

Linda understands her husband's mind best, and knows that he loves movies very much, but there are too few opportunities in the United States, and the role of the TV series "Chasing the Blind Murderer" filmed this time is still a positive character, a martial arts master hidden in the city. In the past, most of them were small characters, which had a lot to do with racial discrimination in the United States, Linda herself is an American, where will it be unclear?

"Are you going back to Hong Kong?" Bruce Lee muttered silently, and his mind couldn't help but recall what Huo Yaowen said to him when he returned to the United States last year, and his originally godless eyes became firm again!

Kwun Tong Primary School under Grantham Normal College in Hong Kong.

Although it is still during spring break, the principal's office is surrounded by many school faculty and staff.

"Principal Szeto, why do you want to lower our pay scale? and remove the teacher's salary scale from the master civil service pay scale!"

"That's right, we only have more than 1,000 yuan a month, and we have to reduce it, how can we feed a family?!"

"I'll just leave it here, if we lower our wages, I won't do anything, whoever loves to teach will teach, more than 1,000 yuan a month, if it weren't for the subsidy, it wouldn't be as much as the street vendors selling chop noodles!"

“……”

A group of elementary school teachers roared indignantly with the principal Situ Hua!

The salary of primary school teachers is not high, if it were not for the subsidy, how could a small salary a month support the whole family, and now they are still barely supporting the family, if the salary scale is really lowered, and the general salary scale of civil servants is withdrawn, then there is no even a subsidy!

At that time, it will only be six or seven hundred yuan a month, and it is not even as good as an outside waiter, who would want to be a teacher!

Principal Szeto Wah listened to everyone's roaring and unwillingness, and also had a headache, Grantham Kwun Tong Primary School is a public school, and the matter of teachers' salaries is not in his hands, he is just acting as a tool for the Education Department to announce teachers' salaries in the new year.

Everyone came to him to make a fuss, and he couldn't say what he was really worried about.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"

Situ Hua said a lot to appease everyone, and then said: "I know that everyone has complaints about the reduction of the salary scale and the removal of subsidies, but I can't help it, this is a document directly issued by the Education Department, no matter our school, all public schools in Hong Kong, even those private schools, I think it will appropriately reduce teachers' salaries." ”

"No more!"

"Yes, yes, I won't do it, with such a small salary, I might as well accompany my wife to sell car noodles on the street. ”

At this time, a few angry teachers and staff left directly, and even Situ Hua did not agree to stay even if he was in the back.

The remaining dozen or so, you look at me, I look at you, and everyone looked at Situ Hua one after another, as if asking if his salary was going to be reduced.

Situ Hua stubbornly said: "I can't do anything about the salary, but I have already submitted a report to the Education Department, which shows that the salaries of our current teachers and staff are not high, and it will be difficult for anyone to continue teaching if it is lowered!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Some people saw Situ Hua say this, and suddenly felt hopeless, after all, he was only a primary school principal, why should he ask the Education Department to revoke the document issued.

came quickly, went quickly, and more than a dozen faculty members walked out of the principal's office, leaving Situ Hua, who had a headache, with a helpless face.

……

A food stall on the street.

"Teacher Fu, are you really quitting?" asked Teacher Ding as he looked at his friend with concern.

Teacher Fu took a sip of wine and said with a mouthful of wine: "What else is there to do?

A faculty member said depressedly: "How can this unprovoked reduce the salary of the teaching staff?"

Teacher Fu sneered: "Hehe, it's not because the Education Department has opened free admission to primary schools in recent years, which has suddenly increased their financial pressure, and now the salaries of our primary school teachers have been reduced, and I think sooner or later the salaries of teachers in government middle schools and universities will be reduced!"

"Alas, I thought it would be a good thing to run more schools to teach and educate people, but I never thought it would be like this!" Mr. Ding sighed.

“*****”

At this time, before Mr. Fu could speak, he heard a movement in the distance, and a group of people looked back, only to see a group of people pressing down on a group of people, each holding a sign and a banner in the group of brave roars.

It took a while for the athletes to leave the street and run to the next.

"I really envy them for being young!" Teacher Ding looked at the group of departing students, he was really envious, neither the confusion of middle-aged people raising a family, nor the worry about work, and he was patriotic with enthusiasm.

Teacher Fu's eyes flickered slightly at this time, and he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we join forces and report to the Education Department?"

"Does it work?" asked Teacher Ding suspiciously.

A few teachers next to him said: "Won't it be too troublesome, forget it, even if the salary is really reduced, it's a big deal to find another job." ”

"Looking for a job, how old are you and me, what kind of job can you find when looking for a job at this time?" Mr. Fu himself is forty years old, and it is too difficult to change jobs at this age, and he has been teaching for more than 20 years, and there is almost no other job to choose.

Teacher Ding is more supportive, and he doesn't want to lose the decent and good-sounding job of a teacher: "Then what do you say!"

Teacher Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I have a solution......

Woda Old Road, Huo Mansion.

In the mansion, Huo Yaowen packed his suitcase in advance to prepare for going to the United Kingdom to participate in the Anna Medal in a few days.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door, Huo Yaowen walked out and opened the door, and the maid Zhang's mother said, "Sir, there is a gentleman surnamed Zhang outside, who said that he was your colleague." ”

"My colleague?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows and thought about it, could it be Teacher Zhang Cheng who teaches mathematics?

"Well, got it. Mom Zhang, you go make tea first, and I'll go down and take a look myself. ”

"Yes. ”

When Huo Yaowen went downstairs and walked out of the courtyard to the big iron gate, he saw Teacher Zhang Cheng and a stranger standing next to him.

"Happy New Year to Mr. Huo!" At this time, it was just over the seventh day of the new year, and it was still the New Year, and Mr. Zhang smiled and hugged his fists to congratulate the New Year.

"Rejoice and rejoice. ”

Huo Yaowen stepped forward and opened the door, and while leading Teacher Zhang and the others into the house, he said, "Teacher Zhang, how do you know that I live here?"

Teacher Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, I asked Director Huang. ”

Wait for the group to enter the house.

After Zhang's mother brought the tea and left, Huo Yaowen looked at the person holding the tea next to Teacher Zhang, although he was curious, he didn't ask directly, but said: "Teacher Zhang is a rare guest, there is a good restaurant near here, I will be the owner later, please have a meal with these friends." ”

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Teacher Zhang hurriedly put down the cup and introduced, "This is my middle school classmate Fu Zheng, who is a teacher at Kwun Tong Primary School. ”

"Hello Mr. Huo!" Fu Zheng stretched out his hand enthusiastically.

"Hello Mr. Fu. ”

After getting to know each other, seeing Huo Yaowen's face full of doubts, Teacher Zhang said: "Teacher Huo is really sorry to bother you for the New Year, I can't hide it......"

As Teacher Zhang and Fu Zheng said slowly, Huo Yaowen also listened to it.

Knowing the reason, Huo Yaowen pondered for a few seconds, and couldn't help asking: "In this case, what does Teacher Fu mean is that he wants me to propose to the Education Department to cancel the reduction of teachers' salaries?"

Fu Zheng nodded: "Yes, the salary of a primary school teacher is only more than 1,300 a month, and this is still calculated as a subsidy, if the subsidy is removed, the salary is reduced, six or seven hundred yuan a month, even if we really want to teach and educate people, we always have to support our families." ”

“……”

After a long time, Fok Yiu-man actually understood that the purpose of the Education Department was nothing more than to reduce expenses, after all, last year, the six-year free teaching plan for primary schools in Hong Kong was officially liberalized, and there was no tuition fee for students, and the salaries of teachers and the money for the daily maintenance of government schools all depended on the Education Department, which was not a small amount of money.

Even if Huo Yaowen relied on his status as a Justice of the Peace to say it, people might not agree.

Although the result is the same whether he goes or not, Huo Yaowen's eyes flickered, he remembered something in the future, and thought about it carefully and said: "I am also a teacher, so I naturally know how tired the teacher's work is, and if the salary is reduced, it is indeed an annoying thing, but even if I say it, it may not work..."

Seeing Huo Yaowen say this, Fu Zheng was a little discouraged.

"However, I do have an idea!" Huo Yaowen said with a wink.

Fu Zheng hurriedly said: "What an idea, Mr. Huo, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"There are many welfare associations in Hong Kong from all walks of life, such as the Federation of Trade Unions, the Chinese Manufacturers' Federation, the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, etc., including the Association for the Development and Promotion of Martial Arts Culture that I established last year, all of which are to better provide a certain degree of help and support to a certain level of work, including rights protection!"

Fu Zheng's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Huo, do you mean to set up a teaching staff association?

Teacher Zhang next to him said: "Not necessarily, a few years ago, the price of Xiaotianxing ferry increased, so many people protested, is it still the price increase as usual?"

"It's different!"

Huo Yaowen shook his head and said: "Xiaotianxing Ferry Company is a private company, and the telephone bureau in Hong Kong raised the phone bill last year, and in the end, it didn't publicly apologize and reduce the phone bill?"

When Fu Zheng heard this reasoning, he thought about it and stood up and said: "Thank you Mr. Huo for your advice, I will go back and start preparations for the establishment of the Teaching and Labor Federation, but I don't have much influence as an ordinary teacher, I just hope that Mr. Huo can pick up this burden." ”

"Yes!" Huo Yaowen smiled and nodded, although this matter seems to be thankless, but if he waits for the establishment of the Teaching and Labor Federation and becomes the president of the situation, it will be better to publicize and publicize in the future, and there will not be so much waste and garbage in the future.
