I miss my relatives every festive season. Coupled with the relationship between the neighbors, it became very strange with the BMW that Huang Yulang sent. Every day, the neighbors are staring at each other, and the two brothers feel a little isolated.

Zhang Shaojie and the two brothers decided to go back to their hometown to visit relatives and friends before the Chinese New Year.

Although there are no relatives in Hong Kong. However, the Zhang family was a relatively large family before the liberation, because the family was a landlord, and Zhang Shaojie's grandfather had been a regiment commander in the Kuomintang army, so the People's Liberation Army swept the north and south of the river, and the whole family fled south in a hurry and came to live in Hong Kong.

Zhang Shaojie's father and aunt came to Hong Kong with the family. But because he was in too much of a hurry, there was a little aunt and an uncle at home, so he stayed in his hometown and was not able to follow him to Hong Kong immediately.

After the liberation, the aunt and uncle who were in the mainland lost contact with Zhang Shaojie's family. Until the mid-70s, during the reform and opening up, the aunt's family went to the mainland to look for relatives and found the uncle and sister-in-law who had lost their grandfather in the mainland.

In the previous life, the uncle's family and the sister-in-law's family had been farming in the countryside, so they lived a relatively poor life and rarely traveled all their lives. It wasn't until the 21st century that the family economy of the uncle and sister-in-law began to improve, and they had the money to travel to Hong Kong to visit the Zhang Shaojie brothers.

In that life, Zhang Shaojie was paralyzed in bed, and he could only make the two elders feel distressed and cry.

In this life, Zhang Shaojie's fate has changed, and before the Chinese New Year, he suddenly wanted to go to the mainland to visit relatives and friends. He seems to miss the simple feelings of those relatives and friends in his hometown in the mainland.

It was difficult for Zhang Shaojie to get a visa to the mainland as soon as possible, so he had to ask for help. He first took Hu Bo into consideration, after all, the Hu family is also a prominent media family in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

Hu Bo looked a little surprised: "Are you going to visit relatives in the mainland, or Anhui Province, which is far inland?" ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "Well, yes! Although the reform and opening up, but the procedures for entering the mainland are still a bit troublesome, can Brother Hu help me find some relationships, before the Chinese New Year, can our brother get a visa to travel? ”

Hu Bo shook his head and said, "How can I have that ability?" If you go to Taiwan or Singapore, it's easy. But when I go to the mainland, the elders in my family can't do anything! ”

The Hu family, although during the Anti-Japanese War, supported the Anti-Japanese War in public opinion. However, it was mainly the Central Committee that supported Chairman Chiang, not [***]. After the liberation, the Hu family, like other capitalists, withdrew from the mainland and ran businesses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Southeast Asia and other places. It can be seen that the Hu family, which once had a prominent history in the newspaper industry and the pharmaceutical industry during the Republic of China, has no way in today's Chinese mainland.

"Otherwise, I'll help you go to ask Mr. Jin Yong, he also has a lot of friends in the mainland!" Hu Bo said.

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu!" ”

Two days later, the two brothers Zhang Shaojie got good news.

Mr. Jin is really a good man, especially Mr. Jin Yong, who used to be a translator, diplomat, reporter, and editor, and most of the acquaintances he knew were acquaintances of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic.

So-called, there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do. Originally, at this time, ordinary Hong Kong people wanted to go to the mainland to visit relatives and invest, and it was impossible to get a visa approved within a few months.

However, Mr. Jin listened to the heavens, and a few days later, he helped Zhang Shaojie get a visa to travel to the mainland and visit relatives.

"Thank you, Mr. Cha!" Zhang Shaojie officially met this legend because he needed to ask Jin Yong for help this time!

Old Man Jin seems to be very literati, and he doesn't feel pressured to get along with him, but feels very relaxed.

"Go to the mainland to see more, although I haven't been back for many years, but in my heart, it is still the real 'Central Plains' land, the root of the Chinese culture! In recent years, the level of writers in Hong Kong has become lower and lower, and the reason is that they still stick to a small island and sit too much on the sky. Writers who have never been to the mainland will not be able to appreciate the vast and profound culture of that land. Without the edification of the cultural landscape in the mainland, it is difficult to write about some traditional and historical things! Jin Yong is rarely in the mood to be a good teacher, and he pointed out to the leading author of the new generation of martial arts novels.

Zhang Shaojie's background is indeed a little thinner, in fact, the level of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is based on Huang Yi's literacy in Taoism and metaphysical culture.

Although, Zhang Shaojie copied "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and became famous, but from the perspective of cultural literacy, Zhang Shaojie not only did not even have the qualifications to give Jin Yong shoes, but even Huang Yi surpassed Zhang Shaojie by several levels!

At this time, in the exchange with Jin Daxia, Zhang Shaojie could only pretend to be humble as much as possible, and express less high opinions, the cultural background was too thin, and after showing timidity, he was despised by Jin Yong!

Because Zhang Shaojie's attitude is respectful, which is basically in line with the Confucian tradition, Old Man Jin can't help but think to himself in his heart, this son suddenly became famous, but he can still maintain such humility, it is really rare! If this mentality is maintained, Zhang Shaojie is very likely to become a leading figure in Hong Kong's cultural field in the future!

February 10, 1980.

The two brothers passed through the Luohu port between Hong Kong and Shenzhen and came to Shenzhen on the other side of the Shenzhen River.

Shenzhen in this era has just been established.

Shenzhen, which is in ruins, aims at Hong Kong on the other side of the river, and factories, wharves and buildings are constantly rising from the ground. Young people from all over the country are even busy in Shenzhen, where a large construction site is like a large construction site, with all kinds of tools in hand.

This year, Wang Shi, the CEO of a well-known real estate company, will come to Shenzhen to participate in the recruitment examination and join the Guangdong Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, responsible for attracting investment. In the hot land of Shenzhen, Wang Shi writes the myth of the real estate industry.

Not only young people from other cities in the mainland, but also some young people from Hong Kong have also appeared in Shenzhen to work hard. Like a taxi driver, it is even difficult to find a job in Hong Kong.

But in Shenzhen, very few people can drive a car, so Hong Kong drivers have endless work to do and endless money here!

Some small businessmen in Hong Kong with a capital of more than 100,000 yuan can turn themselves into "big bosses" in Shenzhen, on the other side of the river, and open a processing plant of no small scale!

This lively and energetic scene is rarely seen in Hong Kong.

"Brother, is this the mainland? There are so many people, and it's very lively! Shaohuai looked very excited.

"Yes, this is our motherland, although it is not as good as Hong Kong now. However, it is full of development momentum! Zhang Shaojie was also curious and replied.

Zhang Shaojie has never been to the mainland, but he has read the information on the economic changes in the mainland in the next 30 years, and knows that this land will continue to create miracles. Although people are still dissatisfied with the lack of materials, in a few decades, people will complain that there is excess productivity!

Extreme scarcity, to extreme excess!

This is the terrible potential of the dragon of the East after the liberation of the productive forces!

When Zhang Shaojie thinks of the future of the mainland, he thinks of the roaring factories, the machines like the tsunami, and the out-of-town workers in the station as far as the eye can see
