Chapter 140: The Gap
At the end of the song, people are scattered. The Black Snake Gang is gone, the police are gone, Yang Xia and Song Mingzhao have eaten almost enough, and they have also paid the bill and left. The food stalls in this alley of Pokfulam have once again regained their former peace and bustle.
Calm refers to a picture of secular life, and the hustle and bustle refers to the coming and going of people, shouting, exclamations, and fist strokes.
"Cousin, those people were so fierce just now, are there many such gangs in Xiangcheng Port?" On the way home, Yang Xia asked a question.
"It is said that there are tens of thousands of gangs and associations in Xiangcheng Port, tens of thousands of large ones, and dozens of small ones." Song Mingzhao glanced at Yang Xia, this Young Master Yang was so frightened that his whole body trembled just now, it was only a while, how could he become so calm again, could it be that this is the style of the so-called writer and artist?
"The Hong Kong government doesn't clean it up?" Yang Xia lived in the mainland in his previous life, and lacked experience in the world outside the continent.
"Rectification, but Xiangcheng Port is a place that talks about the rule of law, and you have to have evidence for who you want to rectify." Song Mingzhao said.
When Yang Xia asked this, he seemed to understand something, so he didn't ask anymore. This Zhang Wanzhu is like a treasure, but Zhang Tieshan is a poor man, how can he not lead people to reverie and harbor his guilt.
The law of any place will protect Zhang Tieshan's property ownership, but the coveted person adopts the tactics of rubbing oil, and the dead skin is both soft and hard, and in the end, it depends on Zhang Tieshan's own wisdom, of course, even if Zhang Tieshan's wisdom is like the sea, in the face of powerful social forces, it is difficult to compete alone, perhaps the treasure is transferred to a person who knows and cherishes treasures, and it is a good way to make the treasure pearl dust.
But now Zhang Tieshan, or Zhang Wanzhu. Apparently there is no such worldly idea, and they are still trying to fight.
Yang Xia stopped talking, but Song Mingzhao thought about it. Just now, a few Black Snake Gang members were repaired instantly, although she didn't see the person who made the shot, but she could see the tragic situation of the three people clearly, this is the legendary dragon who sees the head but does not see the tail, or sees the tail without seeing the head, in short, it must be a master who helped Zhang Wanzhu.
Although Song Mingzhao is a woman. But during the training of the Intelligence Directorate. He has also suffered a lot, especially looking at his face, anti-interrogation psychology, and makeup and disguise. telecommunications technology, etc. It is the focus of her studies. It stands to reason that she should be able to spot the person who made the move. However, she really didn't find out, which made her feel a little surprised.
Of course. If she knew that the person who shot was her boss, or if she also knew that in the history of the intelligence bureau's training, Yang Xia had almost passed the training with all the perfect scores, I don't know how surprised she would be!
In short, in addition to being quite painful for the three gangs of the Black Snake Gang, the incident of the Black Snake Gang in the food stall was just a strange street fight performance for the others, and finally ended with the shot of a mysterious master. And Yang Xia, one of the parties involved, will not be particularly entangled in these, because he still has something to do.
The next morning, Yang Xia continued to visit newspapers, record clubs, publishing houses and other institutions under the leadership of Song Mingzhao.
"Cousin, when you came to Xiangcheng Port, you don't really want to make a living from literature, do you?" Seeing that Yang Xia was seriously discussing the details of the contract with various publishers, Song Mingzhao couldn't help but ask.
"yes, do you think there's a problem?"
"No problem. But why don't you publish these works on the mainland? ”
"Of course I published it on the mainland, but you should check the newspapers and periodicals on the mainland, especially some literary journals, all of which have my published works."
"Then why did you come to Xiangcheng Port again?"
"This, such as the song "Woman Flower", if it is in the mainland, not only will it not be sold for money, but it will also be judged as a poisonous weed, vulgar or something."
"Hehe, I've been out for a few years, and I've forgotten the environment of the mainland." Song Mingzhao reviewed.
……
After a total of three days of walking around the streets, Yang Xia finally found buyers for all the works he currently owns, and these works are of the following types:
In the song category, the price of each song is a little higher than Yang Xia's estimate, and it sold for 15,000 Hong Kong dollars. In addition to two songs suitable for girls to sing, Yang Xia also sold two songs sung by boys to another record club at the same price. In this way, Yang Xia received 60,000 Hong Kong dollars for only four songs.
Historical essays, 1,000 yuan each, four must be completed per month;
Life essays, talking about the wisdom of life, 1,000 yuan each, four articles must be completed every month;
Life jokes, 300 yuan each, must be completed ten per month.
The above is the income earned by Yang Xia, in addition to the song without a contract, the following three categories have signed a one-year contract, that is, within a year, Yang Xia can earn 11,000 Hong Kong dollars per month only with historical essays, life essays, and jokes.
If Yang Xia lives alone, the 11,000 Hong Kong dollars allow Yang Xia to live quite comfortably in Xiangcheng Port. Of course, Yang Xia needed Song Mingzhao as an assistant.
After opening up the way of life, Yang Xia's Xiangcheng Port plan can be regarded as begins.
First of all, he went to enroll in two study classes, one is an English cram school, which he has already received a training notice and is run by the University of Hong Kong; The other is a Cantonese training class, many locals in Xiangchenggang, including some rich people, like to speak Cantonese, and Yang Xia has to learn this, because Yang Xia has to deal with people who can only speak Cantonese in order to realize his plan.
Both classes are held during the day, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, which happens to be in conflict.
Someone will say that Yang Xia's English is not very good? Yang Xia's English is mainly concentrated at the level of life or popular science, but his English, if it is used for professional learning, is still somewhat lacking, so it is better to make up for it honestly.
The second is writing, almost every night will stay up until about four o'clock, and then meditate until dawn, for Yang Xia, meditation is sleeping, is resting, and as far as his own feelings are concerned, he is not unwell to do it like this.
Writing starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 4 a.m., for a total of 10 hours. In these 10 hours, Yang Xia focused on the creation of "The King of Shu" in addition to completing the specified tasks (that is, the task of earning money every month), if the "King of Shu" appeared to be stuck and other phenomena, or he felt that he had to think about it and put it away, he would continue to write poems.
When people arrive in Xiangcheng Port, it stands to reason that Yang Xia should no longer write poetry, because from an international perspective, poetry really doesn't come with money, and I have never heard that people who write poetry have made a fortune, and writing poetry is at most a little famous.
However, Yang Xia has his considerations, although the Chinese poetry scene in later generations is very lively, but there is really a lack of masters, only a few can be called famous poets, and there are almost no people with global reputation, otherwise, in the Nobel Prize in Literature series, not to mention winning awards, at least someone should be nominated.
Of course, the poems that Yang Xia wants to create now are different from those in the early days of rebirth, and they are also different from the poems of the Southern Xinjiang War. However, most of the modern and contemporary Chinese poetry, because of the so-called new poetry, cannot find the shadow of ancient poetry.
In other words, modern poetry is completely new not only in form, but also completely new in terms of content, ideology, and aesthetic inheritance. This new one looks good, but it lacks a solid foundation in national culture.
Yang Xia wrote poems in order to enrich or make up for modern Chinese poetry from this perspective.
In mid-September, Yang Xia completed the English training held by the University of Hong Kong, and achieved excellent + results in the written and oral examinations, coupled with Yang Xia's top score in the national college entrance examination in mainland China, so he entered the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong, majoring in European literature.
European literature, of course, will not only be English literature, in addition to English, French and Russian creation, there are many world's top masters. Since he chose European literature as his field of study, Yang Xia studied French and Russian as foreign languages.
Entering the University of Hong Kong is the first time that Yang Xia has attended classes in a school outside the mainland.
After about half a month of study, Yang Xia finally felt why overseas developed countries do not agree with the mainland's undergraduate diplomas and even many graduate diplomas, taking HKU as an example, the curriculum of HKU is either closely related to the major studied, or closely related to life cultivation and vegetarianism, all disciplines are centered on people, and they are truly people-oriented, without those society-oriented and country-oriented didactic content on the mainland.
In his previous life, Yang Xia had known some experts from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they pointed out in their proposals submitted to the relevant departments that the students of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine seemed to have studied for six years, one of which was an internship period, and the study time during the school was five years, and in these five years, only non-professional courses such as physical education, politics, ideology and morality, and law occupied more than one-third of the class time, plus some basic courses in biology and chemistry, and almost one-third of the time was removed to really study the Chinese medicine profession. That's only a third of five years, or 20 months.
In almost 1.7 years, there are at least three winter and summer vacations, as well as at least two days of rest per week, that is, the university of Chinese medicine undergraduates, for the study of Chinese medicine, the total number of weeks is not more than 60 weeks, and there are only 5 days a week, that is, 300 days.
In ancient times, when the master took the apprentice, the Chinese medicine often had to study for ten or eight years, and the other masters took the apprentice, and it took three or five years, but now it takes less than a year to study, can you blame the current college students for not being able to do it? Can you blame the college students themselves?
Huaxia has taught ideological and moral courses from primary school to undergraduate, theoretically speaking, so many school hours, from the perspective of personal changes, at least a "saint" should be cultivated, right? Or, from the academic level, at least one "ideological and political expert" has been cultivated, right? But we all know that in state-centered education, most of the people who are cultivated are digging into the corners of the country. (To be continued......)
