Chapter 634: Seeing and Hearing the Walled City
Zhang Xingming put down the phone and said: "Isn't it to build a studio, I said that I want to build a little landscape of the Kowloon Walled City in it, and tomorrow Shen Ji will go to the measuring tape to shoot a film, I will follow over to see, I always heard how dirty and messy it is, see it, and it will be demolished soon." ”
The second brother said: "One day of, what is there to see in that broken place." ”
Zhang Xingming handed a bottle of water to the second brother, threw another bottle to Li Chun and said, "Take a look, let's see, are you going?"
The second brother shook his head and said, "Don't go, it's good to have that kung fu to coax the child for a while." Tomorrow and your second sister-in-law organized a group activity, go to Donglong Island for a day, barbecue, or you can also go to the island to see, what is there to see over there. ”
Zhang Xingming shook his head and said: "Forget it, I have told Xiang Yi'an good things, everyone has said to accompany me, it's not good if you don't go, you go to play, if you cross the sea, the safety work must be done well, and the whole family will go, right?"
The second brother nodded and said, "Everyone who comes from the family will go, and the whole family will go, there are about forty families." ”
Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "There are more activities like this, so that the family members can enrich here, although there is rotation, but it is still stable and easy to use." By the way, children must not be missing, pay attention to the safety protection of children, don't be negligent. ”
The second brother nodded. Zhang Xingming glanced at Li Chun and asked, "Which of you two won?"
The second brother smiled and said, "I seem to be very powerful, I can beat Brother Li." ”
Li Chun nodded and said, "Yes, the small strength is enough, the skills are a little worse, you can practice well." ”
The second brother shook his head and said to Zhang Xingming: "Bring a team over tomorrow, it's a bit messy over there, and I'm not worried about the lack of people." Zhang Xingming nodded, he would not refuse such an arrangement, although it was useless, but it would be good to make his family feel at ease.
Li Chun said: "Okay, I'll arrange it." Zhang Xingming said: "Second brother, you find a place to make a batch of strong ropes, there is a one or two meters long, sewing a strong buckle at both ends, the buckle should be able to lock and not easy to get off, the rope is best to be retractable, and the family with children at home will give one." ”
The second brother asked, "What are you for?"
Zhang Xingming measured his body and said: "This head lock is on the adult's trouser belt, and the head lock is on the child, isn't it safe to be on the beach, in the park, or something, and the people in the province can't see anything at a glance." ”
The second brother thought for a moment and said with a surprised face: "Yes, indeed, I will find someone to do it early tomorrow morning." Well, this thing should sell well, right? Why don't you try it in the mall?"
Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "Yes, since it is the mainland, there are many children who steal, and there are many people, so it is much safer with this, but if you sell it in the mainland, you must consider the aspect of anti-cutting." ”
Li Chun said: "That's not simple, the sandwich core inside, installed with thin steel wire, just the elasticity of telescopic is also there." ”
After resting for a while, the second brother went back to hug his son, and Zhang Xingming did the equipment for a while and went upstairs to take a bath and rest.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhang Xingming, Li Chun and Xiang Yi'an gathered at the gate of the rich man, and ten cars merged into the traffic and drove towards the legendary and terrifying place, the Kowloon Walled City.
The reason why the Kowloon Walled City has become the way it is today is inseparable from the British government of Hong Kong, which was set up as a military camp by the Qing Dynasty after the signing of the treaty, and the cannon pointed directly at Victoria Bay, which became a thorn in the eye of John Bull. After the second signing of the expansion, it was assigned to John Bull's territory, but the Qing Dynasty insisted on retaining the military camp and government office, turning it into an enclave.
Later, John Bull finally couldn't bear it, and sent troops to expel the Qing army officials in the village, and this place was deserted, and gradually occupied by some wanderers and beggars, and slowly became populated, and later a large number of smugglers poured into Hong Kong Island when people began to settle here, because this is an enclave, it is the land of the Qing Dynasty, and the British government in Hong Kong did not interfere, and more and more people gathered, and began to build real estate houses, and little by little it became what it is now.
Many old people have lived here all their lives and never left until they died, and they are still black households until they die.
From a distance, he saw a group of square buildings towering there, and said to Ngee An: "That is the Kowloon Walled City, because it is built indiscriminately, it is a cut higher than the buildings next to it, and the buildings are crowded with buildings." ”
Zhang Xingming looked at Xiang Yi'an's fingers, a block-like lattice building, the height and staggered appearance of the back are constantly covered, the dense windows and dense antennas, in the background of several housing estates next to it are particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Xingming asked Xiang Yi'an: "It is said that the Hong Kong government doesn't care there, there is no police, and you are the one who says there?"
Xiang Yi'an shook his head with a smile and said: "How is it possible, where the Hong Kong government doesn't care, there are uniforms patrolling, and the police will come to check on the police immediately, but most of the people there are very repulsive to the military and police, but they are closer to us, you know, there are a lot of people who come out to mix, how can it be good for the police to be better for the women and forty-nine cubs on Heihu Street." ”
Zhang Xingming said: "This place must be very chaotic according to reason, according to what you say, all the people who live there are ordinary people, aren't you afraid?"
Xiang Yi'an said: "Everyone is begging for a living, it is not easy, people look down on them when they come out, so they are warmer to live together, people here are very friendly, help each other, we have opened some factories in it so that they can make money to support their families, but there is less communication with the outside, and there are more mixed people, and the legend is like that." ”
As they spoke, the convoy arrived at the edge of the walled city and stopped at the side of the road. There is a lot of open space around it, and only two sides of the whole walled city are bordered by narrow streets and other low housing estates, and the other two sides are open spaces with some low plants and a lot of garbage piled up in the open space.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Xingming looked up, his eyes were full of black and red brands of various sizes, almost half of them were clinic dentists, and at this time, doctors in the mainland, regardless of Chinese and Western medicine, were not recognized by the Hong Kong government, so they were all concentrated here. If you look upstairs, if there is a person with a dense phobia, you will definitely faint at this time.
All kinds of people walked around the street downstairs, talking and watching, dressed from simple to fashionable, from the elderly to children, or buying and selling or eating and drinking or passing by, to be very lively. Occasionally, his eyes drifted over the convoy here, revealing a wary look. At this time, the demolition work had just begun, so Zhang Xingming didn't see the banners of the protest. The result of the negotiation between the mainland and the Hong Kong government has just come out, and it will be built into a park.
The leader of Shen Ji came to greet Zhang Xingming, Zhang Xingming smiled and said a few words to them, telling them to pay attention to safety, and the people of Yi'an accompanied them to protect them into the walled city, so that Zhang Xingming did not have to worry about it.
The gate of the walled city is an arched gate welded with iron bars, painted with green paint, and there are several round pieces of iron on it with several red characters written on the Kowloon Walled City. You don't have to go through this gate to get into the walled city, there are narrow lanes between the buildings on all sides.
