Chapter 54: The Sad Times
Seeing that O'Connor was carried to the gallows, Eve was still there to compete with the warden, arguing fiercely about the distribution of gold in Hamnathar, the capital of the dead, who didn't know where it was, and completely didn't realize the significance of O'Connor to find Hamnata and rely on her to save her life, which was really pitiful.
In the movie, thanks to O'Connor's hard neck, thick rope, and the Egyptians' stupidity, they can't operate the gallows, they can only hang people up and hang them slowly, but this is the most painful of the five ways to play hanging, second only to hanging with a rope...... But in the end, I was able to leave a whole corpse, so that it would not be like the one in Saddam's family, and the different parts of the body and head of the hanging game were all the fault of poor technology.
This is to put aside the British Empire, and directly a "long fall", the neck will be broken. You must know that the shortest hanging in history is only 7 and a half seconds, note that this 7 and a half seconds refers to the time when the order for "execution" is given, and when the person dies, the executioner is Albert, the most famous hanger in Britain? Pierre Bryndt, who was second in 13 seconds, was his dad......
Is this the so-called "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves lap on the beach"......
So it's time for Zero to get out of the house, "Zero, take this, go and buy O'Connor from the Warden, and bring him here, and we'll be waiting for you at the prison gate." "I stretched out my hand and handed me tenths of a gold bar, which added up to more than two catties, and I thought it should be enough.
Seeing me take out so much gold at once, the eyes of several newcomers were bigger than a ping pong ball, but they didn't know how much this thing cost in the main god space, and it was not as valuable as a pack of cigarettes in Zhang Jie's pocket.
Especially that Gao Hongliang, who seems to be a little eager to try, it is estimated that he is more confident in bargaining with people, probably because he saw Xiao Honglu behaving and got the treatment of a team member, don't think about it, he will definitely have to go to the back row when he is used as a bait again, but unfortunately he is destined to not be able to do this.
Because it is not the 21st century, although our passports do not have the legendary lighthouse passport "no matter where you are, the government and army of the lighthouse country are your strong backing", although the real thing is not on the real thing, but at least in most countries there is a standard interpersonal treatment, and there is still a hope in case of any emergency, such as charter flight retreat, chartered ship back to China or something. Of course, there is no way to die by yourself, such as going to a terrorist country for tourism, and going to a self-funded medical country to ride a bicycle without insurance......
When is the Legend of Gods and Ghosts? What kind of world is this? What kind of treatment can Gao Hongliang have when he comes forward?
The background of the film is 1926, when in China, which is half a world away, there is still a sign at the gate of the Bund Park in the Shanghai Concession: "One, bicycles and dogs are not allowed; 2. The child's car should be carried out on the side road; 3. It is forbidden to pick flowers and catch birds' nests and damage flowers and trees, and parents and maids of children should be extremely careful to avoid such incidents; Fourth, it is not allowed to play music; 5. Except for the servants of the Westerners, no Chinese are allowed to enter; Sixth, children without a Westerner companion are not allowed to enter the inner garden. This sign has been erected for 36 years since 1890, and it will take another 2 years to be erected until 1928 before it will be canceled.
In the final analysis, the Chinese can't enter, the dogs can't enter, the people who wash the floor for this sign really don't know how cheap they are, if the Chinese were not allowed to enter at that time, then what to say about the trouble in Germany now, how to see a sign in the park "XX people are not allowed to enter". This kind of person can't sell it at a good price even if he goes out to sell, because he doesn't set a price for himself, and when he has a bone, he happily wags his tail, and he has to show off, "This is a bone given by the 'adult', you don't have it."
From China to the south, in Nanyang at that time, no matter how rich the Chinese businessmen were, if they wanted to go out at night, they had to rely on finding Japanese "technicians" to avoid being arrested by the police, because the foreign adults in Nanyang had a curfew, and for the sake of social security, many people were not allowed to wait on the street at night, and the Chinese were among the curfews. Why can't the Japanese "technicians" help but win the battle to build China's first railway, build China's first steamship, China's first warship, build China's first iron and steel plant, open China's first university, establish China's first arsenal, and build the world's seventh and Asia's largest Beiyang Fleet. If you want to go out at night, you have to rely on the identity of a "technician" to open the way.
On the other side of the Pacific, the Chinese enjoyed the liberal and democratic bill in the history of the United States, which specifically restricted immigration to a certain ethnic group -- the "Act on the Enforcement of the Provisions of the Treaty Concerning the Chinese," which is commonly known as the American Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
The law, one of the most severe restrictions on immigration in U.S. history, prohibits Chinese laborers employed as miners from entering the U.S. for a decade or face imprisonment or deportation. Any Chinese who leaves the U.S. and wants to re-enter the U.S. must obtain a permit, and the bill deprives Chinese immigrants of their U.S. citizenship rights, thereby permanently isolating Chinese people.
Note that "citizenship" does not know how to check the information yourself.
In 1884, the amendment tightened the regulations that allowed previously arrived immigrants to leave the United States and return to China, and at the same time clarified that the law applied to all Chinese regardless of their nationality, that is to say, people had already entered the era of looking at faces more than 100 years ago. Ten years after the Act was passed, in 1892, when the aforementioned ten-year period expired, the Act was simply continued by the Geary Act, and there was no termination date, no termination date, no termination date, no ten-year trial.
As a result, the Act lasted until 51 years later, on December 17, 1943, two years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, two years after the Elder Father declared war on Japan, and two years after China and the United States had become allies fighting side by side against Japan, the U.S. Congress passed the Magnuson Act, or the Chinese Exclusion Act, to repeal all Chinese Exclusion Acts. The Act allowed Chinese already residing in the United States to become naturalized citizens without the threat of deportation, and allowed an immigration limit of 105 Chinese per year, 105 per year, when the U.S. Army infantry company had 193 personnel......
Those years were definitely a hell for some people, they wanted to kneel and lick but couldn't get it, is there anything more cruel for the slaves, it's really sad to say it, and it's sad to see it.
In this Egypt, which is close to Europe, Gao Hongliang dared to take out so much gold with an Asian face, I don't know if O'Connor could save it, he was hacked by the warden and then stuffed into the cell to pick up soap, it was absolutely certain, uh, wrong, there was no soap to pick up in Egyptian prisons these days, because there were no baths.
It's just that Zero is a Caucasian person to keep the warden from being hacked, right?
PS: In the future, you must remember to write "big, trouble" as "huge trouble", you know.
