Lin Qiangsheng arrived in Xiangjiang, and he stayed behind to send his parents on the plane. On the plane, Lin Qiangsheng discussed with his parents that he wanted to visit his brother Lin Xiangdong in the Guangzhou Military Region, and his parents also hesitated to go over by the way, and it happened that Lin Qiangsheng proposed to fulfill their wishes.

Due to the large number of flights back to the mainland, the delegation did not wait too long at the airport before boarding the plane. Lin Qiangsheng looked at the clock at the airport, and it was already 12:40 on February 14.

Lin Johnson bought a newspaper, and the big headline shook his heart.

China wants to use force against Vietnam! Red China is furious!

Just today, February 14, China publicly issued a notice that it was ready to begin self-defense and counter-attack operations. ** The order on the entry of all units of the army into combat readiness of the first level was transmitted to the soldiers of the whole army.

Of course, Lin Qiangsheng knew this time, and he also knew that on 17 February, the Guangzhou Military Region and the Yunnan Military Region, as well as the southwestern border troops, would launch an overwhelming attack on the Vietnamese front.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has declined somewhat, the will to fight is high, and the mental state of defeating the enemy is full!

He still remembers that in his previous life, when he learned that his eldest brother Lin Xiangdong was going to participate in the first wave of the counterattack against Vietnam, his parents suddenly fell into anxiety and worry, in his previous life, his family was still ordinary people, that is, thousands of ordinary small Chinese-style families, at that time how their family was afraid of receiving bad news from the front, every bad news of the Chinese army's setback affected their nerves, fortunately there were no reports on this at that time, and the news received in the rear was good news.

Lin Qiangsheng is now in a state of anxiety, on the one hand, he is relieved of his brother's safety because he knows the course of history, and on the other hand, he is worried that his arrival will change his brother's fate.

If he doesn't do anything, will he let the eldest brother return smoothly, and if he does something, will there be anything unexpected for the eldest brother Lin to the east.

Lin Qiangsheng's heart was burning. He knew that from February 17 to March 16, 1979, our army had lost a total of 6,954 casualties and wounded more than 14,800 people, especially in the first two days of the offensive on February 17 and 18, with 4,000 casualties.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiangsheng walked around the airport a few times, feeling that he couldn't wait like this. He went through the immigration procedures directly, walked out of the airport quickly, stopped a car and said to the driver: "Go to the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency!" ”

The driver's boss waved his hand impatiently and shouted, "Oh, no chicken!" Oh no chicken! ”

Lin Qiangsheng grabbed the driver's neck and roared, "go!" Less verbose! He pulled out a handful of dollar bills and smashed them in the driver's face.

The driver was so frightened that he hugged his head and yelled, and finally saw the green dollar bills and became excited again, and shouted again and again: "Chicken fight!" Chicken fight! Shrink early! ”

He grabbed the dollar, roughly counted it, and it looked like it was about three or four hundred, and laughed happily.

Lin Qiangsheng said angrily: "Hurry up!" ”

The driver nodded again and again, grinned and stuffed the money into his pocket, grabbed the walkie-talkie and chatted with his brother and partner in the channel.

Lin Qiangsheng carefully distinguished, knowing that the driver really did not know where the Hong Kong branch was, and was asking his companion for directions.

The Hong Kong branch is located at 341 Queen's Road, and Lam entered the building to find the address.

"Excuse me, is the president here?" Lin Qiangsheng entered the branch, looked around, and asked the nearest person who was seated.

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qiangsheng vigilantly, looked up and down, and asked in non-standard Mandarin, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "I want to find your president, can you take me to see him?" I have something important! ”

The middle-aged man still looked at Lin Qiangsheng, shook his head and said, "We don't accept visitors!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng frowned, and it was really difficult to return to the eyes of the middle-aged man. He took out a check and said, "I have $1 million here, and I am willing to donate it to the state to buy emergency medicines. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qiangsheng, heard what he said clearly, and looked at the check in his hand in shock. The staff of the other branches heard Lin Qiangsheng's conversation and immediately confused, and someone stood up and hurriedly said, "Please take a seat, we will notify the president immediately!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng saw an editor-like person stand up from behind a large desk and said, and quickly walked over to shake hands.

Someone went to call the president, and the editor chatted with Lin Qiangsheng enthusiastically.

After a while, the director of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency came out of the room, he smiled and shook hands with Lin Qiangsheng, and then the two entered the office together, invited Lin Qiangsheng to sit down and said: "My name is Wang Kuang, the current director of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, and I welcome overseas compatriots to care about the safety of the motherland!" Care about the safety of front-line soldiers! Rest assured, we will remember your friendship! Where are you from? ”

Lin Qiangsheng observed Wang Kuang and saw that he was in his 60s and smiling, so he said: "Hello, I came from France, and when I heard the news that the motherland was going to war with Vietnam, I specially rushed over to talk about my thoughts. Please use this money to buy a batch of emergency medicines, send them to the front line, and send them to the hospital! This is my heart! As he spoke, he handed the check with both hands.

Wang Kuang was embarrassed for a while and said: "I understand your heart on behalf of the soldiers on the front line!" But, let's be honest, our Hong Kong office can't accept your donation right now! ”

Lin Qiangsheng almost shouted, don't represent others! But he still endured it and said, "Why? Why don't you accept donations? "I rushed over in a hurry, but I couldn't donate, why is this!

Wang Kuang said in embarrassment: "This, our Hong Kong branch has limited manpower and material resources, and there is no way to buy so much money into medicine at once!" Not to mention sent to the front! Now there is a long queue for customs clearance, and when this batch of goods crosses the border to the front line, it may be more than 20 days later! ”

President Wang Kuang has received a notice from his superiors that all donations made by overseas compatriots during the war will be appropriately and tactfully refused. But he couldn't say it explicitly, so he had to give some unwarranted reasons.

Lin Qiangsheng broke out in a cold sweat anxiously, thinking of the more than 4,000 PLA soldiers who had been killed or injured in the first two days of the war, he scratched his heart and couldn't sit still.

Lin Qiangsheng pushed and conceded with President Wang Kuang again, President Wang would not accept his $1 million no matter what, Lin Qiangsheng finally gritted his teeth and left Xinhua News Agency with hatred.

Lin Qiangsheng walked out of the building, dangling aimlessly on the street, and suddenly there was a sound behind him. He looked back and saw that it was the taxi driver who had brought him in.

The driver waved to him happily, Lin Qiangsheng looked left and right, and found that there was nowhere to go, so he got into his car.

After getting into the car, the driver smiled and said, "Handsome boy, where are you going?" Give you a ride for free! ”

Lin Qiangsheng thought for a while and said, "Tsim Sha Tsui, find a place to sleep first!" ”

"Let's go!" The driver said happily.

The taxi stopped in front of the Miramar Hotel, and the driver judged that Lin Qiangsheng was not short of money, so he sent him here.

"Where can I get my ID card?" Lin Qiangsheng asked the driver.

The driver looked back at Lin Qiangsheng and asked curiously, "Mainlanders?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at him with wide eyes, and the driver said embarrassedly: "You can go to the household registration department and do it directly, just take the photo and pay some money!" Mainlanders have caught up with the good times, and now they can issue Hong Kong and British ID cards when they get to the city! Shun lì very! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”

The driver shouted, "Do you want a guarantor?" I can be your guarantor! $100 is all it takes! ”

Lin Qiangsheng sat down again and said, "Let's go!" Go get one now. ”

The driver took the initiative to say: "My name is Liang Jin, and others call me Ah Jin!" I prefer to be called Ah Jin! Today I met you, the big money owner! Haha"

Liang Jin accompanied him to the household registration department to apply for an ID card. **The process is surprisingly smooth, there are locals as a guarantee, and after submitting the photo and registering the basic information, you can wait to get the certificate after paying some money.

There are not many such good things left, and in October next year, the Hong Kong government will order all black households in Hong Kong to reapply for ID cards within three days, and they will no longer be accepted after the expiration date. In January of the following year, the Hong Kong government will repeal the law that mainlanders will be issued with identity cards when they come to Hong Kong, and if they want a Hong Kong identity card in the future, they must have lived in Hong Kong for seven years, have a stable and legal job, and have more than three Hong Kong people's cooperative insurance.

Fortunately, Lin Qiangsheng knew what to encounter when he went abroad, and prepared several color 2-inch photos.

sent Liang Jin outside the household registration department, and this guy smiled and asked him to continue to contact him, wanting to make a good match. Lin Qiangsheng didn't care, after all, Liang Jin was also his guarantor.

After the two said goodbye, Lin Qiangsheng was walking on the way back, the sun was a little full, and he brought a pair of sunglasses.

There was another horn behind "Didi", and Lin Qiangsheng turned around and scolded: "I'm cāo, do you bother you?" Well? ”

A shy young driver in the taxi beckoned to him, Lin Qiangsheng looked at this person and suddenly felt familiar, and he got into the car strangely by feeling.

The shy young man turned around and asked, "Sir, where are you going?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at this person's face through sunglasses, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to the driver: "Let me think about it, you drive first!" ”

The shy young man nodded, turned around and continued to drive seriously.

Lin Qiangsheng leaned on the seat and thought for more than 10 minutes, just when the shy driver thought that the guest was asleep, Lin Qiangsheng suddenly said: "Go to the mountains!" Pick a place with a better view! ”

The shy driver nodded slightly, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards what he thought was a better view.
