"The most terrible thing for stowaways is repatriation." Cheng Shixi held his chin in his hand, rubbed the tip of his nose with his index finger, his voice was gorgeous and beautiful, and he said in a word.

"That's right, the blow of deportation to those who risked their lives and suffered so hard to flee Hong Kong was absolutely desperate and devastating." The old man echoed, "We are fortunate that we did not die in the sea, but unfortunately as soon as we set foot on the soil of Hong Kong, we met the police. The British government mobilized thousands of military and police officers and began a large-scale deportation and arrest. However, we are fortunate that more than 100,000 Hong Kong citizens have rushed here with food and drinking water to protect us who have fled Hong Kong.

It was a touching scene! Many Hong Kong police officers could not bear to arrest these people, and some even hugged and wept with the fleeers at that time.

Finally, under the command of "disobedience by the inactive", the police finally began to carry out the order, forcibly towing the fugitives to hundreds of cars that had been prepared at the foot of the mountain to be repatriated to the mainland the next day.

That night, almost all entertainment venues in Hong Kong voluntarily turned off their lights and closed their doors in protest. Almost all the media stopped entertaining, and many radio stations began to broadcast the situation live.

The next day, when hundreds of cars lined up in a long line and slowly drove towards the mainland, we were all desperate, our hearts were broken, and even our hearts were dead, and a stunned scene appeared. Hundreds of Hong Kong citizens suddenly jumped into the middle of the road, lay on the ground, and blocked the car. The crowd erupted in a roar: "Jump out of the car!" "We took advantage of the chaos and fled like headless flies. At that time, it was also the first time I met Feng Yi. There was a vague smile on the old man's lips. As if nostalgic, Rumo's eyes glanced at the old wife beside him.

As if feeling his gentle gaze, Qiao Fengyi also remembered the moment when she first met, it felt like it happened yesterday, the first time she saw him was the most embarrassing moment in his life, although he was embarrassed, he still managed to calm down, and asked her to take them away. When the devil sent her, she believed that he would not hurt her. drove the three of them back to the city, and then parted ways.

I thought it was a Pingshui meeting, and there was no intersection. Who knows a few months later. met again, involving a lifelong relationship.

"Those of us fled the scene under the cover of the surrounding Hong Kong citizens. Flee to the city, start cautious first. cringe. I'm afraid of being caught by the police. Repatriation to the Mainland. I can only work in the dark, earn some subsistence money, and live in slums. It wasn't until I got my ID card and found a formal job and had savings that I moved out. He paused for a moment and continued, "To be honest, I was really poor at that time, and the people around me were as poor as us, and I fled to Hong Kong with all my thoughts, thinking that when I came, I would be able to eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls. The harsh reality has knocked us back to square one. I had to cheer up and regroup, in fact, I just learned one word 'learning', what did I learn if I was insufficient? But the neighborhood was very good at that time. The residents of the squatter area are all the same poor, so they don't have to lock their doors. I was most impressed by the atmosphere of "watching and helping each other" among the neighbors, and when one family had a patient, several families would come to take care of it. Whoever has a child who is not taking care of it, there will be neighbors who will come to help. The old man said nostalgically. Now! Laughing at poverty and not prostitution, everything looks at money, and it is difficult to return to that simple era. ”

"The change of mood, the environment, people have grown up." Fang Menan said.

"Yes! When I grow up, my heart can never return to its original state of mind. The old man echoed, and the conversation changed, "It's hard for you to understand the feeling of looking back when we fled Hong Kong crossed the border. Hundreds of thousands of people who fled Hong Kong have quietly sacrificed their youth and even their lives in order to make a living, while building Hong Kong into the "Four Little Tigers" in Asia. ”

This Fang Monan knew that when listening to Cheng Shifei talk about the history of those rich people, he said: Among the top 100 richest people in Hong Kong at the end of the last century, more than 40 people were people who fled Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies of the last century. Among them are Zeng Xianzi, chairman of the board of directors of Goldlion Group, Li Zhiying, chairman of Next Media Group, Liu Mengxiong, "godfather of futures" and others. Not only that, Hong Kong cultural elites such as the famous writer Ni Kuang, the "Godfather of the Music World" Luo Wen, and the "Gold Medal Screenwriter" Liang Liren were also among the people who fled Hong Kong. They have created many 'wealth myths'.

"Of course, our development is mainly due to the take-off of Hong Kong's economy in the 70s, and it is the history of the efforts and struggles of the grassroots and their tenacity." The old man smiled proudly. "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared."

Qiao Fengyi knew that the hardships that the old man had to pay to prepare were not for outsiders, working during the day and giving all his time to books at night, it was really a waste of sleep and food. In fact, she could have asked her mother's family to help him, but she knew that with his pride, she could not accept her mother's funding, so he lived in a slum, and she followed, he lived in a government rental house, and she also lived in public housing. As the business got bigger and bigger, their houses changed and changed. Her sisters' sisters at the time said she was a fool and was looking for abuse. You said that she, a college student with a higher education and a foreign stay, would have this traditional concept of marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog. Maybe she was poisoned and poisoned by him.

Of course, compared with the huge number of wealthy Hong Kong escapees, it is only a small number, and many of them are only struggling at the bottom to earn food and clothing. However, these few people who have stood out are inseparable from Hong Kong's economic take-off in the 70s, and the world's economy began to take off in the 60s and 70s.

Hong Kong benefits from its geographical location, close to the sea, in fact, several other dragons are also close to the sea, proud of the sea. In the era of global free trade, the ocean can provide a convenient and inexpensive mode of transportation, which is an important guarantee for the export-oriented economy. The coastal factor has helped a lot in the rapid rise of the Asian Tigers.

After World War II, the world entered the freest trade period, and before World War II, there were many restrictions on international trade. The signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the international trade status of the US dollar, the collapse of the traditional colonial system, the reduction of piracy, the advancement of water shipping technology or equipment, the development of air transport, and the convenience of communication have greatly facilitated international trade, reduced the cost of international trade, and promoted the development of international trade. This laid the foundation for the four tigers to develop an export-oriented economy. The production of such an environment is not something that you want to have, and the luck of the four little dragons is that there was such an international trade environment at that time.

The old man sighed, "Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s was really a paradise for dreamers. "As long as you work hard, you can succeed" is a Hollywood-style dream, which is also a portrayal of Hong Kong back then. ”

"It's the same here now! Looking at the spiritual outlook of the line on the street, he is full of vitality and hard work, and believes that as long as he works hard, he can succeed. Cheng Shixi said with a smile.

In the early days of reform and opening up, it was also a paradise for dreamers.

For most of Fang Monan's peers, everyone knows Hong Kong and is deeply influenced by Hong Kong culture, such as Crazy Boy, TVB dramas, and Stephen Chow. People love the city in the movie. Hong Kong, where there is righteousness and justice, and the law is free and the reality is warm.

"Nowadays, people don't know what's wrong, they all want to get rich overnight and take shortcuts. I once took a taxi and heard the driver complaining that he wanted to go back to the Mao era. The taxi driver is almost sixty! He was more than ten years younger than me, and his accent should be the same as me, but after talking, I learned that he was a later Hong Kong fugitive, a person who was still struggling for life. The old man said with emotion, "When people get old, they begin to miss the old days. ”

It's not that people miss and sigh, but the future generations don't know if people are too demanding, or the reality is too cruel, high housing prices, high rents, gnawing at the old, and dreams are squeezed...... These topics that are talked about all day long, the material abundance is great, but the soul is withering more and more, and people begin to miss that it was an era of high morale and dedication to everything. But people can't go back to that era after all, and everything has to look forward.

For a while, I was full of emotion, and after the memories were completed, after the old man's emotions recovered. Cheng Shixi said, "The old man will talk about the affairs of the family, and let the doll give you a hexagram to calculate the good fortune." ”

Qiao Fengyi tugged at the corner of his clothes with some worry, and asked with her eyes, "Master, you really want to say it!" ’

The old man shook his head slightly, then nodded again, "Hmm." The old man nodded and sighed, "Alas! Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and I didn't have so many troubles when I was poor before! The family is unfortunate, but the appearance is beautiful, but in fact, it is ...... Alas! ”

"Hey...... When you are poor, you think about your livelihood, and you don't have time to think about it. There is a lot of money, and all the people involved are their own family, that is, relatives, and of course it is even more heartbroken. Cheng Shixi said with emotion. Although he did not participate in the competition of the family, but the various calculations staged by the family every day, although he was a young bystander, he could see it clearly, don't look at the appearance of a suit and leather shoes, a human appearance, in fact, the inside is really a pig and a dog.

"You always speak slowly, don't worry." Fang Mo Nandao, it can be seen that the old man's heart is not calm, it can be said that it hurts very much, anything involves relatives, no matter how small the words are, it hurts like a steel knife wrist bone.

The old man sighed again, and then he said, "It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, I have three sons and one daughter under my knees, needless to say, my daughter is married, and she has no right to intervene in the company's affairs." Now that I'm older, the board of directors of the company has been arguing about the heir. It's just that my three sons, after my investigation, the boss is more than successful, but not enough to develop. The second child is a gentleman, don't mention it! The third child is too radical and only knows how to rush and rush! (To be continued.) )
