That night, Govin finished the verification of "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong" before going to bed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before going to bed, he was still thinking about which newspaper he would submit this cultural essay to.

Hong Kong's unique geographical and political environment has contributed to the prosperity of Hong Kong's newspaper industry. According to relevant statistics, in the 50s and 60s alone, there were 85 new newspapers, an average of 8.5 new newspapers a year, most of which were Chinese newspapers; although it was rare to be able to last for more than 10 years, by the 80s there were still more than a dozen daily newspapers in Hong Kong.

Since the beginning of the 80s, Hong Kong has had more than a dozen newspapers, including Sing Tao Daily, Oriental Daily, The Sun, Ming Pao, Sing Pao, Apple Daily, Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po, Hong Kong Commercial Daily, and many other English-language newspapers.

Among these newspapers, the most famous and highest-selling newspapers are "Sing Tao Daily", "Oriental Daily", and "Ming Pao".

Gewen's first choice for submission was naturally Ming Pao, which was founded by Mr. Jin Yong.

In ancient times, people commented on Liu Yong's words: "Wherever there is a well, there is a willow word". In contemporary times, there is also a similar saying, wherever there are Chinese, there are Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Jin Yong is not too strange to every Chinese and Chinese, although Jin Yong's martial arts novels have not been officially published in the mainland, but how could Gowen, as a traverser, not know Mr. Jin Yong?

Although Mr. Jin Yong's fame influenced his choice, Govin valued the influence of "Ming Pao" more.

Founded by Mr. Jin Yong in the 50s, Ming Pao has become one of the most famous and influential newspapers in Hong Kong after decades of development. This newspaper, which developed on the basis of Jin Yong's serialization of his novels, is now known as Hong Kong's "Times", and is regarded as an intellectual newspaper with an independent style.

The vast majority of Hong Kong writers pride themselves on being able to publish articles in Ming Pao or be columnists for Ming Pao.

If a writer can squeeze into the supplement of "Ming Pao", it represents the affirmation of his own identity. Therefore, although Mr. Jin Yong is very picky and the remuneration of "Ming Pao" is very low, there are still countless authors who flock to it.

Naturally, Govin does not pay attention to the amount of manuscript fees, but the status of Ming Pao in the minds of Hong Kong people.

The next day, when he went down for breakfast, Govin heard something from a private chat between the members of the exchange group.

Mr. Ai Qing came back late last night, and the old man attended a private banquet at the house of the ship king Bao Yugang in the evening, and it is said that the people at the banquet were all members of the drafting committee of the Basic Law on the Hong Kong side.

It is said that after China and Britain signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration in December 1984, the Chinese government began preparations for the compilation of the Basic Law of Hong Kong, which is the constitution of Hong Kong. In April this year, the National People's Congress (NPC) decided to set up the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee. In June, the National People's Congress (NPC) approved the list of members of the Drafting Committee for the Basic Law of Hong Kong. Among the 59 members, 23 are from Hong Kong.

Mr. Ai Qing should have exchanged views with the members of the committee.

Govin guessed in his mind.

The composition of the members of the exchange group from the mainland is actually somewhat complicated.

As far as Govin knows, some of the members of the delegation are scholars in the cultural field, while others are government officials. Therefore, the connection between the members of the exchange group was not close, and after Govin joined the exchange group halfway, no one greeted him for a day.

Just after the members of the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee were decided, they intensively organized a cultural exchange between the mainland and Hong Kong, and it was by no means a simple cultural exchange.

Govin had no intention of speculating on the inside story, and the purpose of joining the exchange group was actually to avoid the criticism that is still raging in the country, and to avoid public attention.

Besides, he has now been free-ranged by Mr. Ai Qing, and he has no tasks, so he just relaxes and does something he likes to do.

It was yesterday's day of playing that made Govin suddenly realize something.

After crossing, he was anxious about his identity and was terrified. Later, I integrated into this era, but I was obsessed with creation, worked hard to improve my writing level, and worked hard to realize my dreams, and my heart has always collapsed. After arriving in Beijing, although I made a lot of friends, because of the strong political atmosphere, I always couldn't let go, as if it was loose and tight, tight and loose, and hesitated.

And when I was wandering around Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday, I found that I was in an unprecedented state of ease and freedom at that time, as if I had returned to my previous life, and it seemed that I didn't even need to think seriously about my brain when I spoke.

It's such a wonderful feeling, so Govin plans to take advantage of his time in Hong Kong to take a good rest.

It was still after all the members of the exchange group had left that Govin slowly left the Peninsula Hotel.

Today he is going to Causeway Bay.

Speaking of Causeway Bay, many people will immediately think of Chen Jinnan, the bearer.

In fact, we can also see from the movie "Crazy Boy" that Causeway Bay is a major concentration of commercial and entertainment venues in Hong Kong. There are many shopping malls, Japanese-owned department stores and hotels in Hong Kong, and there are many restaurants in the streets and alleys, where you can find all the high-end fashion and trendy items.

On the one hand, Govin wants to play, and on the other hand, he wants to go to the "Ming Pao" newspaper office to contribute.

That's right, Mr. Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" is on King's Road in Causeway Bay, which Govan asked from the front desk of the Peninsula Hotel.

651 King's Road in Causeway Bay is the office of Ming Pao newspaper, and the fact that it can gain a foothold in Causeway Bay shows the status of Ming Pao and the success of Mr. Jin Yong.

When he took a taxi to the newspaper office, Govin saw the dark green building in front of him at first sight, and the words "Ming Pao Building" on the billboard in front of the building were very conspicuous.

Not far away, on the old tram tracks, the tinkling trams come and go, and on the opposite side is a row of low old tenement buildings, restaurants, bookstores, and shops.

Govin settled down and entered the Ming Pao Building.

It is somewhat strange that there is only one door at the main entrance of the Ming Pao Building, which can only allow one person to enter and exit, and two people can't squeeze in.

After waiting for a middle-aged man to come out, Govin hurriedly walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the space in the building was a little narrow, only five feet square, and the elevator was opposite, and there were four or five people waiting for the elevator in front of the elevator at the moment.

There was a four-foot-high counter opposite the elevator, and an old man sat in the back, and when he saw someone coming in, the old man just looked at Gowen's appearance, and then continued to look down at the newspaper in his hand.

Govin was a little embarrassed, although this building is the newspaper office of Ming Pao, but who should he contact if he wants to submit articles?

Just as he was hesitating to ask the old man, the elevator arrived.

First five or six men and women came out of the elevator talking, and then the people waiting for the elevator rushed in, and Govin was caught in the crowd and couldn't help but squeeze into the elevator.

Accustomed to the elevators of later generations, Govin looked down on the Hong Kong elevators of this era, and only six or seven people actually filled the elevators. Now, he was squeezed in the middle, and he couldn't even breathe.

The elevator stopped every few floors, every few floors, and when the last person in the elevator went down, Govin took advantage of the situation and walked out.

This is seven floors.

The man in front of him turned to the left, and Govin thought for a moment and followed.

Before he could take a few steps, Govin saw a sect hanging on the office door on his left, and the "President's Office" was in sight.
