If Kibera in Kenya is the world's largest slum, the most legendary is Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City.

Kowloon Walled City, located on the north side of Kai Tak Airport, is a well-known three-way zone in Hong Kong. When the cession treaty was signed that year, it was declared that this piece of land located in Hong Kong still belonged to the "China" country, making the Kowloon Walled City a boundary within a boundary and a country within a country within a country on Hong Kong Island.

In the past 30 years, due to the ignorance of China, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, the Kowloon Walled City has been in a state of anarchy, and its population has increased sharply, becoming a hotbed of crime, where murderers, gangsters, drug dealers and other fugitives gather. It is also because it is the largest slum and has become the location of various underground factories.

By the 70s, the population of Kowloon Walled City had grown to 25,000, and 90 of Hong Kong's drugs were exported. At the same time, all kinds of large and small courtyards, casinos, dog rings, etc. have sprung up. Including a large number of underground food processing factories without safety supervision, unlicensed doctors, illegal immigrants, etc., are gathered here.

In 73 and 74, the Hong Kong government sent more than 3,000 police officers to forcibly enter the walled city to eradicate the underworld forces in the walled city. I didn't think that the walled city would later be built like mushrooms after a rain, with illegal expansions and unauthorized construction, and the streets were as narrow as corridors.

By the mid-80s, the Kowloon Walled City had a population of over 40,000 and an average living area of only five square metres per capita. All kinds of illegal buildings are built layer by layer, and even the entire area of Walled City 98 has no sunlight 24 hours a day, and the lights must be turned on at noon.

Due to the large number of people and the lack of unified planning and construction, the sanitary conditions of the entire walled city were extremely poor, rats, insects and ants ate and slept with people, and water and electricity became one of the means for the community forces in the walled city to make huge profits and control the residents.

The pigpen walled city described in "Kung Fu" is modeled after the Kowloon Walled City, but it is far less than one percent of the Kowloon Walled City. The classic residential water bridge section in it is also from the Kowloon Walled City.

Of the more than 40,000 villagers in the Kowloon Walled City, there are only 8 real water pipes, all of which are controlled by powerful associations in the Walled City to supply water to various underground factories of the communities. Ordinary villagers need water, pay money for water from the community, and then fetch water from the few branch pipes.

The slums have always been the worst in terms of security, and the Kowloon Walled City is even worse. In the 70s and 80s, all kinds of wanted criminals from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and even Nanyang would rush to Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City to seek refuge when they had no way out.

Not only was the law and order in the Walled City bad, but the law and order in the vicinity of the Kowloon Walled City was also getting worse. Many robbers openly robbed in broad daylight, and as long as they turned around and fled back to the walled city, the police were powerless to pursue. In the eyes of Hong Kong citizens, the Kowloon Walled City has long been demonized, so when the crew comes outside the Kowloon Walled City, the crew members will look nervous as if they are facing a great enemy.

Even Chen Jiashang, Pan Hengsheng and others all said: "Director Chen, otherwise let's change places, it's really not possible to build a street scene, there is no need to go into the Kowloon Walled City to shoot." ”

Feeling the fear of most of the crew members of the Kowloon Walled City, Chen Ping'an smiled: "In this case, I'll go in first, and when I straighten out the relationship inside, I'll come out and take you in." ”

The dwarf bull would definitely not let him go in alone, holding the eldest brother with four bodyguards to guard him by his side. The members of the Chen family class, Shang Ge Yunton, Li Guohao, Yi Nuo Shandu, Huang Jinming, Richard Norton, these people who practice martial arts, are naturally not afraid, and Forrest Whitaker, who knows nothing about the Kowloon Walled City, also followed everyone to the gate of the Kowloon Walled City out of curiosity.

Liang Jiahui hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Outside the gate of the Kowloon Walled City, a police car and an assault car were parked. Seeing Chen Ping'an's group of people coming, Ren Darong, who had a relationship with Chen Ping'an, got down from the police car with several police inspectors and blocked the way of Chen Ping'an and others.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to enter the Kowloon Walled City to shoot?" Ren Darong asked.

"Ren sir? Why are you here to come with us? ”

"I don't think so, and it's not under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong government. On the contrary, it is you, Mr. Chen, who is delicate and expensive, and rushes in in case something happens......"

"Thank you Sir Ren for reminding us filmmakers that we filmmakers are never afraid to dedicate ourselves to art. When I get back, I'll invite Sir Ren to drink and talk about today's admonition. ”

"You ......" Ren Darong received the news yesterday that Chen Ping'an would take the crew into the Kowloon Walled City to shoot today, so he deliberately waited outside the door today to dissuade Chen Ping'an.

The Kowloon Walled City has always been a problem for the British government in Hong Kong. Just saying that the people inside ran out to rob if they were fine, and then fled back to the walled city after the robbery, and the police could not do anything, it was enough to make Hong Kong citizens dissatisfied with the inaction of the British government and the Hong Kong police.

If a public figure like Chen Ping'an had another accident in the Kowloon Walled City, the Hong Kong people would take advantage of this opportunity to make a large-scale protest.

"You have to go in?"

"Ren sir, I'm in a hurry, please let me go."

Chen Ping'an led people over, and Ren Darong hesitated slightly and ordered his subordinates to investigate: "You go in with me to protect Mr. Chen's safety!" What are your expressions? No back-off...... Forget it, you guys wait outside the door, I'll go in by myself. ”

No police inspector wants to enter the sinful paradise, especially if they are still wearing police uniforms.

When Ren Darong, who was dressed in civilian clothes, chased after him, Chen Ping'an was a little surprised: "Sir Ren is so courageous, I think you will have a great harvest today." ”

Before entering the Kowloon Walled City, I smelled a fishy stench; Walking into the Kowloon Walled City, Chen Ping'an was even more shocked by the scene that caught his eyes.

Dark, dirty, is the most intuitive feeling; The narrow dark passages with neon lights that turn on and off, the labyrinthine corridors like anthills, the leaky walls, the addicts squatting around the corners, and the worn-out clothes around them, all give people a heavy sense of depression and make every pore on their bodies uncomfortable.

One walled door, two worlds.

So many outsiders entered the Kowloon Walled City, and they were well-dressed, which quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. The women were busy with their work and looked at them; The children who were playing gathered in groups not far away, with a little fear in their curious eyes; Many gangsters and addicts stared greedily at the two women in the team, and their eyes were eager to strip away Hui Yinghong and Yang Jingjing.

"Oh cake seller, God actually created such a magical place!"

"It's amazing, am I coming to the end of the world!"

The two foreigners, Shang Geyunton and Falist, looked around in the same place, craned their necks and tried to look up, muttering incessantly, exclaiming in surprise at the shock brought to them by the cramped and dark Kowloon Walled City.

Liang Jiahui couldn't understand the reaction of Shang Geyunton and Still, and muttered, "As for it? ”

"That's the difference between Chinese and Western cultures." Chen Ping'an patted him on the shoulder: "In our eyes, this is synonymous with dirty mess, but in the eyes of Westerners, this is a miracle." ”

"Miracles? Hopefully, you'll think that way for a while. Ren Darong answered coldly and looked around vigilantly. He only hopes that Chen Ping'an's group can be brought out safely today to avoid bloodshed caused by conflicts, as for the harvest...... He really didn't think he could get anything out of the Kowloon Walled City.

However, he soon realizes that he was wrong, and the harvest follows.

The police had already secretly opened a file for Chen Ping'an and secretly investigated his background and background, but the progress was slow and no substantive gains were made. At present, it is only known that Chen Ping'an has an uncle and nephew friendship with the Xiang family, and the other is that he has something to do with Taiwan's Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang.

For more than a year, Chen Ping'an has concentrated on making movies, achieved good results, and never stirred up the wind and rain, and even cooperated with the British government in Hong Kong to obtain the reputation of "volunteer pioneer", and the police senior management has the intention of canceling the file.

However, today's trip to the Kowloon Walled City, Ren Darong opened his eyes and learned that Chen Ping'an has face in many associations in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and his face is not small!

Less than five minutes after everyone entered the Kowloon Walled City, the five major forces that jointly controlled the Walled City lined up to greet each other, and the five leading bosses led their subordinates with capable officers, their faces were filled with smiles like spring breezes, and they treated Chen Ping'an with the most honorable hospitality.

Chen Ping'an insisted on entering the Kowloon Walled City to shoot because the apocalyptic scene of the Kowloon Walled City would become one of the factors that made "Blood Spot" a blockbuster in the United States, so he did not agree to set up a street scene, or find a random place to replace it like the original book.

He also knew the danger of the Kowloon Walled City, so he called Xin'an Company, Zhulian Gang, and Sihai Gang early and asked them to help dredge up the relationship.

Many associations in Hong Kong and Taiwan have dealings with the Kowloon Walled City, and the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang even have many gangs hiding in the Kowloon Walled City, and these people have formed a large force in the Kowloon Walled City.

The five major forces in the Kowloon Walled City are willing to treat Chen Ping'an as a guest of honor, in addition to the human factor, there is also a very important point - since the "Jianghu Fund-raising Order", Chen Ping'an is regarded as the God of Wealth on the road, and many associations have set up film companies, even if they don't make movies all year round, as long as they can wait for the next "Jianghu Fund-raising Order"!

A "Human Ghost" earned a box office share of $170 million for Dark Horse International, and Xin'an Company and Lianhai Pictures invested $500,000 and shared a profit of more than 8.5 million, a 17-fold profit, which made people on the road red.

What business on the road can have such a high rate of return? Besides, most of the business on the road is to die, and being able to join Chen Ping'an's "Jianghu Fundraising Order" means that Ping'an will make a fortune! Therefore, Chen Ping'an is known as "the God of Wealth of Peace" on the road.

No one in this world is afraid of having a lot of money, and the five major forces in the Kowloon Walled City are no exception and want to get a piece of the pie.

The greetings between the five leading bosses of the Kowloon Walled City and Chen Ping'an, as well as sparing no effort to get closer, Ren Darong heard very clearly, Chen Ping'an's status on the Hong Kong and Taiwan Road is not low, and the relationship with Xin'an Company, Zhulian Gang, and Sihai Gang is deeper than the police imagined!

Sure enough, it is a great gain, this time I can go back and fill Chen Ping'an's file! It's a pity that he never personally admitted that he was a member of the triad, otherwise he could have been arrested directly......

This idea only remained in Ren Darong's mind for three minutes, and after Chen Ping'an threw out the cooperation with the Kowloon Walled City, Ren Darong suddenly had a feeling of ridicule - if this mention can really be implemented, Chen Ping'an can be regarded as a model for Hong Kong citizens, and he still catches a fart!
