From Guangzhou to Hong Kong, we take the waterway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gowen, as a supernumerary member of the exchange group, has almost become a little transparent.

When he got on the boat, Mr. Ai Qing did not introduce Gowen's identity to the members of the exchange group at all, so the members of the exchange group thought that Gowen was a government worker, and no one came up to greet Gowen.

This situation made Govin a little embarrassed.

However, his mentality is very good, although he doesn't understand why Ai Qing has an opinion about himself, but Govin is also happy to entertain himself.

Standing on the deck, Govin listened to the roar of the steamer's whistle and watched the waves of white flowers stirred up by the stern propeller, and his heart was very comfortable.

The Inland Sea in the 80s was not like later generations, the sea was deep blue!

The ship docked at Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, and all members of the delegation crowded to the side of the ship to wave to the crowd on shore, and the people on the shore also waved.

True, the dock was packed with people.

Although Govin couldn't figure out who the crowd was standing on the shore, he could see that the people standing in the front row of the pier were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they were all rich and noble people in Hong Kong. Behind them was a ceremonial band playing the English march. Not far away stands a flagpole on which the flag of British Hong Kong flutters proudly in the sea breeze.

The crowd behind should be the ordinary people of Hong Kong, many of whom are waving Chinese flags in their hands.

Govin disembarked with the members of the delegation and fell far behind.

Although no one introduced him to the members of the cultural exchange team who came to Hong Kong, he still heard from some people on the ship that there were more than 20 writers, musicians, painters, directors, actors, translators, and officials of the Ministry of Culture in the exchange group.

As soon as they got off the boat, the band played the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and a foreigner in the front of the crowd enthusiastically walked up to Ai Qing and said in a grunt that the interpreter of the exchange group stepped forward and hurriedly translated English into Chinese to the members of the group.

Before waiting for the translator in the group, Ge Wen, who was not far away, couldn't help but take a serious look at this foreigner, this middle-aged foreigner who looked a little powerful and rich was actually the governor of Hong Kong.

Ai Qing and the Governor shook hands warmly.

After a period of greetings, the Governor of Hong Kong led the way with a gentlemanly demeanor, and then introduced the other members of the delegation, Fok Ying-tung, Li Ka-shing, Run Run Shaw, Jin Yong, Cai Lan, and Ni Kuang......

After the introduction, the Governor said, "You have worked very hard, so let's go to the hotel arranged by the British government first." ”

Ai Qing frowned quietly, and then said politely: "We understand the kindness of Mr. Governor, we have come to Hong Kong this time for cultural exchanges, and we don't have no political purpose, so we won't bother the government." ”

The governor kept a warm smile on his face, and he was about to continue to persuade Ai Qing. Fok Ying-tung on one side interjected: "Mr. Ai Qing, colleagues in Hong Kong's cultural circles welcome cultural groups from the mainland to visit Hong Kong. ”

With that, he made a gesture of please, and led the team back to the crowd behind the docks, and the governor reluctantly followed.

People warmly shook hands with Ai Qing and the members of the mainland exchange group through the fence, and Govin was not left behind.

After a while, Jin Yong made a speech on behalf of Hong Kong's cultural circles, and Mr. Ai Qing also improvised a speech to all the Hong Kong people present, he thanked Hong Kong colleagues for their kind invitation, and told him that he had spent a good time in Hong Kong when he was young, and that the two sides of the strait have the same roots and the same species, and the culture is naturally the same, and he hoped to increase exchanges in the future and narrow the distance between them.

After a short stay, the delegation did not take the British government's car, but got into the car arranged by Fok Yingdong and drove to the hotel booked in advance.

From Victoria Harbour to The Peninsula at 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, Govan kept looking out of the car, trying to contrast with Hong Kong in the 21st century.

Govin has always believed that to look at the style and symbols of a city, it is necessary to look at the most ordinary people in the local area. The logo can be changed at any time, but people's faces cannot be changed, it is something that has been precipitated for hundreds of thousands of years, and then comes out.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Govin traveled to Hong Kong with a group.

That time, he sneaked out of the hotel at night, and followed the Hong Kong strategy all the way to Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, when there were so many pedestrians on the road that he was almost lost. When he found a famous stall in Hong Kong and ordered a local signature dish, the owner of the stall asked him in broken Mandarin if he was a tourist from the mainland.

At that time, Govin was very strange, after all, his Cantonese was almost to the point of being fake. He asked the boss how he saw it. The boss was also stunned, and then said with a hearty smile: "Intuitively, there is still a difference between foreigners and locals, and it is impossible to say why." ”

That time, while eating vegetables, Govin carefully observed the difference between Hong Kong people and himself in the food stalls, and then he came to his senses. Many times, people don't feel that they are in their hometown, but they will find that they will always have a smell of hometown on their body, which is indescribable, and people with a discerning eye can know it at a glance.

On the evening of the day the exchange group arrived in Hong Kong, they were invited to attend a banquet held by Hong Kong's cultural circles, and Govern, who is a non-staff member, was no exception.

The banquet is a typical Western-style banquet, a group of people are dressed up and chatting and drinking, and if they want to eat, they go to the dining area to help themselves.

Except for Ai Qing, none of the non-governmental members in the exchange group knew Govyn, but the members affiliated with the official knew Govin as a person, but they kept a certain distance from Govin for some reasons. Therefore, when the banquet began, all the members of the exchange group gathered around a few interpreters in the group and had a warm exchange with the people in Hong Kong, but Govin hid in a corner of the dining area and covered his head to eat and drink.

Not to mention, the food at this banquet was very delicious.

Just as Govin was gobbling it up, a slightly lame Mandarin came over: "Is it really so delicious?" ”

Govin was stunned for a moment, swallowed the Hong Kong-style egg tart in his hand, and then looked in the direction where the voice came from.

It's a girl, she should be smaller than herself, and she is very delicate and delicate.

"Isn't it delicious?" Govin asked rhetorically in Cantonese.

Speaking of which, Govin really speaks Cantonese, in his previous life, he liked Hong Kong movies and music, and when he graduated from college and mixed bars, he met a few Hong Kong friends.

Therefore, don't look at the members of other exchange groups circling around the interpreters, for fear that they will not be able to speak without the interpreters, but Govin is not afraid.

"Well, do you speak Cantonese?" The girl asked in surprise.

"I understand a little."

"Hello, my name is Ziye, it's a pleasure to meet you." The girl named Ziye said in Cantonese, stretching out her hand as she spoke.

"I'm Govyn." Govin wiped his hands with a napkin, then shook it.

……

……

The dragon set of the purple night girl finally appeared.

Purple Night Sister is one of the earliest loyal book friends of the big time, she herself is from Hong Kong, and I taught her how to buy starting coins through QQ.

When I designed the outline of the Hong Kong volume a long time ago, I arranged the role of the purple night girl, but I didn't expect it to take so long before she really appeared.

It's a pity that things are not people.

It's really embarrassing to think about.

At present, the outline of the Hong Kong volume is complete, but the outline still needs to be sorted out. For example, how to lead to the plots set in the outline, and how to introduce the various characters of the Hong Kong volume; In addition, it is also necessary to collect relevant information, such as the character of Li Bihua in the outline, generally know the teacher's works, read some articles about her, and review the adaptation of her "Green Snake", "Farewell My Concubine" and so on, it is too simple to rely on Baidu Encyclopedia alone.

These take time.

The deletion of the plot of "Living Elsewhere" disrupted the rhythm of the code words, every time I wrote the plot of the previous volume, I began to collect all kinds of information for the next volume, and by the way, I improved the outline of the next volume, and the details and information were not twenty or thirty thousand words, it was really difficult to write, and the most important thing was that I was worried that writing in a hurry would make the story inconsistent, the plot was out of control, and there was no way to complete it.
