Judging from the overall ratings, Phoenix TV has been pressing wireless TVB in recent years. But it's just barely winning, TVB has been running the station for 20 years, and the inertial ratings are too high, and many older people turn on the TV to watch TVB by default.
Fortunately, Phoenix Channel's TV series production is excellent, and variety shows are novel and fashionable, and audiences under the age of 40 have gradually become accustomed to locking the channel on Phoenix Chinese Channel.
And tonight, the original unit skit time is playing special news.
Ordinary families in Hong Kong, who are accustomed to watching Phoenix TV skits, are confused after turning on the TV, and then they are attracted by the big flood in the news, and the whole family sits in front of the TV to watch news programs.
“…… I'm Liu Zhendong, a reporter for Phoenix TV in the mainland, and now I'm in Jiang. Suxx City, you can see that behind me is an ocean. According to local villagers, the flooded depression behind me was a large village of more than 2,000 people two months ago, and now there is no roof in sight. The local liberation/liberation army, armed forces. The police force is in the midst of intense rescue, and they have been rescuing for more than half a month......
In May and June this year, floods occurred in 18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, and severe drought occurred in five provinces and autonomous regions. The most severe disaster and the greatest loss was the flood-stricken An. Hui Hejiang. Two provinces of the Soviet Union. According to preliminary statistics, An. More than 45 million people were affected by the disaster, accounting for nearly 70% of the province's total population, and 200 people died due to the disaster.

More than $200 million and various materials and equipment will be required to complete the above-mentioned disaster relief tasks......"
The news footage kept changing, and reporters from Phoenix Channel sent back on-the-spot reports from seven disaster-stricken areas. Especially to see the endless tents on the Huai River embankment. The helpless and pitiful eyes of the flood orphans, and the crying and grabbing of the victims of the loss of their loved ones...... These shots have brought a huge shock to the Hong Kong audience, and many soft-hearted and emotional citizens have shed tears.
At the end of the special news program of Phoenix TV, the host changed the topic, from the great flood in East China to the great drought in Hong Kong in 1963. At that time, Hong Kong citizens could only get water once every four days, more than 80 percent of Hong Kong people were in the predicament of water shortage, and more than 200,000 people smuggled back to the mainland or fled to Macao and Taiwan.
At that time, the people of the mainland enthusiastically donated money and water to tide Hong Kong people through the difficulties. After the disaster, the north. The central government in Beijing allocated 38 million yuan from the tight finances. More than 10,000 people were mobilized to dig mountains and mountains, and it took one year to complete the Dongshen Water Supply Project, which basically solved Hong Kong's water supply problem.
"One side is in trouble, and all sides are supporting. The people of the mainland and Hong Kong are brothers whose blood is thicker than water. Twenty-eight years ago, it was the selfless assistance of the mainland that helped us to overcome our difficulties, and now our compatriots are in the midst of disasters and urgently need our helping hand. Mr. Kang Jianfei, Chairman of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, has co-founded the 91 East China Flood Relief Special Fund with Mr. Huo Yingdong, and citizens who are interested in donating money and materials can donate to various donation points in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories, and all the donations and goods obtained will be used for the relief and post-disaster reconstruction of the East China flood......"
The special news has ended, but many viewers are still on the TV screen. Those flood shots just now are so shocking.
"Why don't we donate some too?"
"The family still has to pay the mortgage. I don't have much money to spare this month. ”
"10,000 yuan is a donation, and 100 yuan is also a donation. Size is a mind. ”
"I read on the news that many of the victims of the disaster have no clothes to wear, and there are a few outdated clothes at home, which they don't usually wear, so why don't they all be donated?"
“……”
"Grandma, why did you take out the coffin?"
"Donate, donate."
"You can't donate anything to your coffin."
"Ah Ping, do you remember how your grandfather died?"
"Remember, how many times have you said it. In the 52nd year of the Republic of China, there was a drought in Hong Kong, and my grandfather drank dirty water in the ditch and died. ”
"At that time, I was thirsty, and I could only get water once every four days, and I didn't even have water for cooking, not to mention the dirty water in the ditch, and many people even drank urine. When the mainland heard that we were suffering from a disaster here, many people spontaneously organized themselves to carry water to the New Territories, and if it weren't for them, your father and uncle and I would have died of thirst. ”

A day after the news broadcast of the flood on Phoenix TV, TVB also began to pay attention to the floods, followed by all the newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong.
At this moment, even the right-wing newspapers, which have always opposed the G Party, can only comply with the call of public opinion for everyone to donate enthusiastically. The central government in Beijing did not provide disaster relief.
The flood was so tragic that 18 provinces across the country were hit by floods, and several more provinces were hit by drought.
Kang Jianfei's company not only reported on TV stations and newspapers about the floods, but even this year's Miss Oriental beauty pageant was based on the theme of love and disaster relief. The organizing committee of the beauty pageant said that the beauty pageants who entered the semi-finals must fulfill their disaster relief publicity obligations, and all the proceeds of this year's beauty pageant will be donated as disaster relief funds.
Even many smart beauty pageants said in an interview with reporters that if she finally got the ranking, she would donate all her competition prize money to the affected compatriots, winning unanimous praise from the media and the public, and her exposure skyrocketed.
and Kang Jianfei and Huo Yingdong jointly set up the major donation points of the disaster relief fund. There are often scenes of citizens queuing up to donate money and materials. Those who have money donate tens of thousands, those who don't have money donate a few dollars, and there are also people who donate bed sheets, quilts and old clothes.
"The place where I am standing now is the Central Donation Point of the 91 East China Flood Relief Fund. You can see the donation line behind me, which has been lined up on the side of the road for more than 100 meters. Among the well-wishers who donated. There are white-collar workers with a lot of salary, housewives who usually save money, and elderly grandparents. Now, let's interview a few random citizens who have just donated money. Hello Miss, can you tell us how much you donated? ”
"It's not a lot, only 200."
"Why do you want to donate?"
"I watched the TV news, and the victims in it were all Chinese. Donate some money to help. ”
"Okay, thank you for your selfless donation. Let's interview this little sister, how old are you, little sister? ”
"Nine years old."
"Did you donate money too?"
"My mom donated 100 yuan, and I donated 5 yuan."
"Is it your own money?"
"It's my mom who gave me pocket money."
"Would you be sad if you donated your pocket money?"
"Don't be sad, the teacher said to help others."
"Okay, thank you, little sister. Oh my God, there's a beggar in the donation team over there, and the beggar has come to donate money for the flood. ”
“……”
Since Phoenix TV was the first to lead the reporting and donation of the flood in East China, it is now donating to the victims of the disaster in the mainland. It seems to have become a fad.
Sometimes colleagues in the company chat, the content is how much you donate, how much I donate. Those who didn't donate were afraid of losing face, so they could only just make a random number, and didn't dare to say that they didn't donate a penny.
In particular, the Phoenix TV reporter found a beggar in the donation team, and the beggar donated all the money he begged for that day, which touched many Hong Kong people.
Jin Yong, who has not written an editorial for more than two years, couldn't help but run out to join in the fun this time, and praised the beggars and many well-meaning citizens in "Ming Pao". He praised Hong Kong as a modern and civilized city, where its citizens are hardworking and caring, and even beggars know how to give back to society and help others. It is another manifestation of the spirit of Hong Kong.
The current rush of reporting on the floods and donations is no longer enough to attract readers' attention. And the beggar's donation is definitely a highlight, and major newspapers have interviewed and reported on it. The beggar was completely on fire. More than a dozen companies took the opportunity to stand up and invite beggars to join their companies in a high-profile manner, and said that the company needs this kind of honest and loving employees.
Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong Branch.
President Zhou shook hands with Kang Jianfei and Huo Yingdong respectively in the reception room, and said eagerly: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Kang, thank you two this time, you have helped me a lot." ”
Kang Jianfei said: "When compatriots suffer, it is our duty to help. ”
Huo Yingdong pointed at Kang Jianfei and said with a smile: "Thank you Kang Xiaoyou, his propaganda skills are so powerful, several pro-KMT newspapers in Hong Kong have donated." ”
"Mr. Huo won the award, and I just waved the flag and shouted." Kang Jianfei said modestly.
Although Huo Yingdong is not as high-profile as Kang Jianfei, he has really done a lot of things, such as contacting Hong Kong's medicine stores and rice stores through personal connections, and actively raising precious food and medicine for the disaster area, which makes Kang Jianfei unable to do it.
The happiest is President Zhou, the mainland's economic downturn in recent years, triangular debt has dragged down countless state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and many people even think that this is a manifestation of the failure of reform and opening up. Plus the first two years of strict zhòng of learning. The turmoil and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe have led to unpredictable changes in the direction of domestic politics, and this is the most confusing period of reform and opening up.
Now, the flood and drought that have swept through most of China have suddenly swept through the state finances, and the central authorities have even stopped showing face and appealed to Chinese and foreign reporters for international assistance.
President Zhou is under great pressure, and his responsibility is to contact and raise donations from Hong Kong, but in the past two years, there has been a strong anti-G trend in Hong Kong, both officially and non-governmentally.
Fortunately, with the help of Huo Yingdong and Kang Jianfei, Huo Yingdong mobilized his influence in the Hong Kong business community (Huo Daheng was nicknamed "Hong Kong Tsar", and in his early years, he had the exclusive right to operate river sand in the mainland, and all wealthy businessmen involved in the construction field had to give him face), Kang Jianfei launched public opinion propaganda. As a result of the combination of the two, Hong Kong's business circles and non-governmental organizations are now enthusiastically donating, and tens of millions of disaster relief funds have been received in just a few days.
Huo Yingdong personally donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars, Kang Jianfei did not donate more than him, and also said in the newspaper that he personally donated 20 million, but then donated 10 million in the name of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group - this 10 million is his expression as the richest man in Hong Kong.
Subsequently, the Li family, the Guo family, the Zheng family, the Lin family, and the Liu family...... They have donated 2 million to 20 million. In the entertainment industry, Shao Yifu, who has donated education funds to the mainland all year round, also donated 5 million this time; Because of "Cousin, Hello", Zou Wenhuai, who had an unpleasant quarrel with the mainland, donated 2 million this time.
At this time, Kang Jianfei suddenly organized a celebrity disaster relief charity performance, and Happy Valley Racecourse took the initiative to provide the venue, and all the donations from the charity performance were used for disaster relief.
Even the celebrities are so enthusiastic that the British government in Hong Kong is embarrassed to sit still, and the Hong Kong government announced that it will allocate 50 million Hong Kong dollars for disaster relief in East China. (To be continued) R655
