Chapter 166: Listen to the heavens
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Recently, reporters from major news media in Hong Kong have broken their legs.
At the beginning, the hottest topic was of course Lin Jing's new work "The Rise of a Great Power", and the craze on this topic had not yet subsided, and then a powerful typhoon Allen hit Hong Kong head-on, causing huge damage while causing great damage, 333 people were killed, 333 people were injured, and 12 people were missing.
Typhoons come and go fast.
As time passed, the popularity of "The Rise of Great Powers" gradually fell. Instead, there were negotiations between China and Britain on the Hong Kong issue.
In fact, the negotiations have officially started last year, but the British side is trying to include Hong Kong under its umbrella, and the Chinese side has taken a tough attitude, and the negotiations have not made much progress. This year, the British side, which has no cards to play, has been frequently active in Hong Kong's media media, grassroots organizations, and professional organizations, making a big deal of tricks and tricks, and delusionally trying to fool people's eyes and ears and fish in troubled waters.
At the beginning, it was a public opinion poll, and this time the poll showed that 85% of the respondents preferred to maintain the status quo, that is, to maintain the status quo of Hong Kong as a British and colonial company without any changes, and there was no consideration for the return of Hong Kong, and only 4% of the people hoped that Hong Kong would return to China.
Of course, this kind of so-called public opinion poll is the same as the nature of many "referendums" in later generations, and it only reflects the will of those powerful countries and certain unscrupulous elements.
Therefore, the effect of the poll is not satisfactory, and naturally it has no effect.
Seeing that the "public opinion card" was not effective, the British side played another "economic card". Desperately throwing out the Hong Kong dollar in London, in the neutral zone, and in New York, the value of the Hong Kong dollar fluctuated, and the Hong Kong market was chaotic. Moreover, they put the blame on the Chinese side, confusing right and wrong, saying that the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar was the result of the 97-year problem and the lack of confidence of the Hong Kong people in the future of Hong Kong, spreading rumors to confuse the public and cover up the truth.
In this way, we try to prove that Hong Kong cannot leave the British government in one day. Without the British government as a backer, Hong Kong would have declined to the point where it used to be a small fishing village.
In addition, it also instigated the heads of some media magazines and even some professors in Hong Kong universities. On the issue of Hong Kong's economy, it is difficult for the Chinese side to come to Hong Kong on the issue of the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar.
Even so, though, didn't work out.
In January, the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar were linked to the exchange rate. After all, the value of the Hong Kong dollar stabilized.
Compared with many Hong Kong people, they cannot see the future of Hong Kong clearly. Those who have money are ready to immigrate, and those who have no money are panicking, Lin Jing is sitting like a mountain. Especially when I occasionally read the newspaper and watch the news, I really feel very happy to see those yellow-skinned and white-hearted boiled fighters jumping up and down, just like watching a clown show.
"By this time next year, China and the UK will finally reach an agreement and sign the Joint Declaration on Hong Kong. The issue of Hong Kong's return to the motherland in '97 was settled. At that time, these Soul Warriors will probably flee this 'Paradise' one after another. ”
At this time, Lin Jing returned to CUHK and began a peaceful life of studying and writing books in her sophomore year.
It's just that on campus, because of the problems in Hong Kong, there are also a lot of waves. Compared with the "old and serious" of some professors, the vast majority of students are much more enthusiastic. I don't know who took the lead, but the students and alumni of the major colleges and universities formed an organization of young high-level intellectuals in Hong Kong, the "Meeting Point," to show solidarity with the motherland on the Hong Kong issue.
Lin Jing is a prominent figure in CUHK, especially after Li Ao's sentence "the first talented woman in Hong Kong and Taiwan" spread, this "meeting point" inevitably found her quickly. Lin Jing didn't have any ill feelings towards "Convergence Point", but she didn't join in the end.
In this regard, the organizers of "Meeting Point" can only express regret.
387 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Branch, Xinhua News Agency.
Ji Penghui has just been transferred to the Hong Kong branch this year to take up the post of vice president, because this year is a very important and crucial year for the Hong Kong issue, so the pressure on his back is very heavy.
Especially in recent times, the British government in Hong Kong has done so much about the Chinese side, so that the branch offices from top to bottom are busy one by one. Just like now, it was already six o'clock in the evening and almost seven o'clock, and he had just finished approving today's last paper.
After cleaning up, he walked out of the office with his bag. As he passed the communication room, he heard voices coming from inside.
"Brother Ye, have you heard, that HKU professor and newspaper editor-in-chief actually said that sovereignty can be taken back by China, but it is better to hire the British to manage it, if it is managed by the Chinese side, Hong Kong's economy will definitely be damaged. I don't know if he still recognizes himself as a Chinese, a group of capitalist lackeys who have forgotten their ancestors. ”
"If you can say this kind of thing, most of them have been bought, and their butts are crooked, where can they speak for their ancestors."
"Alas, forget it, I can't be annoyed by these traitors, I save myself from being angry, and I say that anger hurts my liver."
……
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Xu, haven't you gotten off work so late?"
Xiao Ye is Ye Weifeng, Xiao Xu is Xu Jia, one is the editor of the branch, and the other is the correspondent of the branch. Ye Weifeng and Xu Jia saw that it was Ji Penghui, and they quickly got up from their chairs.
Ye Weifeng is old and steady, Xu Jia is more lively, and he grinned at Ji Penghui's question and said, "We're ready to leave, what's more, Ji Lao, haven't you left yet?" ”
"Let's go together, then." Ji Penghui said that he is the vice president, and he has a car in and out, unlike Ye Weifeng and Xu Jia, who can only squeeze the bus.
"Is that okay?" Xu Jia hesitated and asked.
"What's not to do?" Ji Penghui's eyes widened, and he pretended to be angry.
"I'll clean it up." Xu Jia stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly stuffed a few books into his schoolbag when he answered. There are free buses to sit on, and fools go to squeeze the buses.
Ji Penghui glanced at Xu Jia, who was packing up books, and saw that one of them was "Ming Pao Monthly", so he asked: "Is there any good article in this issue of "Ming Pao Monthly"?" ”
The Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency subscribes to many newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong every month, and Ming Pao Monthly is one of them. But because he's been so busy lately, he hasn't had time to read yet.
"There is only one article in this issue of Ming Pao Monthly."
"An article?" Before Ji Penghui could speak, Ye Weifeng on the side was surprised, "When did "Ming Pao Monthly" only publish an article?" ”
"It's only one article, but this article is only nearly 100,000 words." Xu Jia said with a smile.
"Isn't that equivalent to a special issue, whose article is so heavy?" Ye Weifeng touched his chin and asked.
"Lin Jing's "The Rise of Great Powers" is said to be a series of articles, and this issue is also the first one, called "The Rise of Great Powers: The Ocean Age", which is about Portugal and Spain. Xu Jiamei said with a smile, "It's a good article, you can experience it yourself." ”
"Lin Jing, "The Rise of a Great Power"?" Ye Weifeng muttered, obviously he was not unfamiliar with the name Lin Jing, "Then you should really go and experience it." ”
"Well, I think this article has a good reference." Xu Jia's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said meaningfully.
"Oh, it's that good?" Ji Penghui said noncommittally.
"Ji Lao, why am I lying to you. You don't know that after the "Rise of a Great Power" came out, the entire literary world in Hong Kong and Taiwan was boiling for a while, and the advent of "The Rise of a Great Power" was regarded as a major event in the past two or three decades. Its author, Lin Jing, is also known as the first talented woman in Hong Kong and Taiwan. ”
Xu Jia, the first batch of graduates after the resumption of enrollment at Peking University, has a certain level of education, otherwise he would not have been transferred to the Hong Kong branch not long after graduation. Seeing that Xu Jia's admiration for "The Rise of a Great Power" has almost reached the point of admiration, Ji Penghui, who didn't care much about it, had some curiosity in his heart - maybe this "Rise of a Great Power" really has something to offer.
And this curiosity is out of control. Ji Penghui went back that night and found this issue of "Ming Pao Monthly", and after reading it three times seriously, he remembered that he was a junior brother who was the deputy editor-in-chief of "Guangming Daily" and decided to recommend it to him.
