When I think of Paris, I think of a person. www.biquge.info The man was a Hong Kong man, about 40 years old, dark-skinned, and his surname was Zhou, and he was the guide I hired when I first went to Paris alone.

On that occasion, in fact, I hired him so that he could accompany me to Monaco to find the house in the album.

During your illness, we all saw a picture book of Monaco given to you by your parents in Kaohsiung after returning from vacation. You say that there is a house up there that is closely related to you, and you can feel that there is a white-haired aristocratic mistress in it. You'd love to have a chance to go there. You say, if you get there, you'll know what it has to do with you. But you don't get a chance to go to Monaco anymore.

I'd like to check it out for you. Perhaps, when I get there, I will be able to discover something.

After leaving Monaco, Zhou and I went to a few nearby French cities.

It was this person who helped me find the real place where the picture corresponded to the picture in front of the album I provided. It was he who led me to the Byzantine house, it was he who helped me to meet the owner of the house through the bank, it was he who provided a humorous translation when I was talking to the hostess, it was he who defused the hostess's wariness and hesitation, it was he who helped me build the cross-cultural bridge to realize our common dream when I could not express myself well.

In the process of searching for the corresponding scenes in those albums, I told him a few things about you.

Our love story is very long, I ignore the part of the past life, and outline the brief time we spent together in this life, our hidden love for each other, our quasi-honeymoon in Beausan, and the final life and death we experienced.

The tragedy of our story deeply touched Director Zhou, and he was extremely sympathetic to it, so by the end of the journey, we had become friends.

I met Zhou in Cannes.

As I was sitting at a café drinking mineral water, he appeared with a huge duffel bag in tow.

He stood near the café, holding a telephone in his left and right hands, and spoke into it in Italian and French.

When he finally finished the two calls, the third one rang again. This time he replied in Cantonese. It's a really long call!

His incessant Cantonese made me know at once that he was the guy I had hired.

As he scrambled to make these calls, I was able to observe him in a very calm manner. I got the impression that he was a very optimistic person. This is a person who hopes that others will be optimistic as well. This is a man whose ideals have not been realized. This is a person whose own talents have not been brought into play. This is a person who has experienced vicissitudes. This is a man who once prospered and then declined. This is a man who loves the career of a tour guide. This is a person who travels a lot around the world. This is a person who has been in contact with a lot of human beings. This is a person who has been separated from many human beings. This is a person who has love in his heart. This is a person who wants others to have love in their hearts.

Later in his journey, he continued to evaluate himself.

Here are some quotes from what he said about himself at the time:

"I'm a very handsome man, at least in the minds of a few people."

"I have a slim but not strong body, because now the leftover is king, not the strong. Whoever lives the longest is the winner. ”

"My skin is not as black as blacks, but my teeth are whiter than blacks."

"The reason why I am not as black as black people is because the Chinese nation has the virtue of humility. I'm embarrassed to beat them on all projects. ”

"I'm the world's radio station tailored to you on your journey. When you're not sleeping, I'll broadcast it for you in the car. When you're already asleep, I'm in the car broadcasting for my solitude. ”

"Because I don't have to broadcast non-stop, I don't need to have a radio on the bus. I'm a thrifty broadcaster. Eco-friendly broadcasting. The smartest broadcast. There is a broadcast of the ego. ”

"I know English, I know French, I know Italian, I know a lot of Chinese and Chinese. But what I'm best at is the kind of language that all humans understand: body language. This is also what I can most love women from all over the world. ”

"I'm not young, but my heart is not old."

"I have a good memory, just as good as the memory of a computer that hasn't broken yet."

"This is the 12th phone I bought this year, because the first 11 were lost."

"Don't be surprised why I have so many mobile phone cards. What you see is just a small part of it. In fact, I have so many calling cards (take out at least 300 of them). ”

"I'm not going to do anything to make money, but I'm going to do anything to save money."

"I wish I could find and harass people at any time, but I don't want people to find me at any time."

"My boss knows all the numbers of my hundreds of calling cards, and I keep changing my hundreds of calling cards. I immediately notify him of each change in accordance with the Employee Code. But when he had a situation, he basically couldn't find me. Because he didn't have the patience to try hundreds of numbers one by one. ”

"I'm always using the card he didn't call."

"So, I change bosses as quickly as I change my phone."

"I've been a tour guide for 18 years. I estimate that in a few years, I will know all the bosses in the world who do this business. ”

When Zhou took me on a cruise ship to drift on the Mediterranean, he talked about his past experiences.

He said that he had been rich in the past, and that he had owned a fast-growing company and partnered with a very good friend. The company is growing smoothly and rapidly, and both bosses are young.

For a while, he felt he had hope of fulfilling a myth like Li Ka-shing's.

During that time, his life was also very chic, and he had more than one woman by his side.

But then, things changed, and just as all the good days passed, the company's good fortune quickly faded.

The decay came first from the deception and betrayal of the friend, and a fierce quarrel broke out between the two partners. Then, one side of the company's two support columns collapsed. The friend flatly withdrew his capital and left.

After more than two years of supporting himself on his own, he finally declared bankruptcy and collapsed.

In the last days of the company's support, in order to save his youthful cohesion, he owed a lot of debts and made a lot of enemies.

So, when he went bankrupt, he chose to work as a tour guide, because it would allow him to wander around the world for most of the year, far away from the eyes of contempt and hatred.

He also sold his home in Hong Kong, and the woman who followed him also ran away.

He moved to Macau, where the cost of living was lower and there were fewer familiar faces, and thus began his life of "saving money by any means necessary".
