Chen Xiangmei was obviously stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said, "Just kidding me, let's talk, is it your sister Han Xuewei who forced it." ”

When Tang Ning heard this, this excuse was perfect and logical, because people who were familiar with him knew that there was a personal doctor in his house who was Chinese before his career, and now he was even received into the room by himself, and he was influenced by her, so he had a good impression of the Chinese, which was a normal thing, so he pushed the boat along the water and responded: "I can't say it all, I am a humanitarian, especially when I happen to be in Hong Kong at this time, how can I be indifferent to this tragic situation." ”

Chen Xiangmei nodded: "Well, Tony, what you said is right, no matter who sees this kind of tragedy, they will not be indifferent, but how do you plan to help them?" ”

Downing had already thought about this question: "I plan to contribute $1 million to buy food, medicine and other necessities for them, and I am willing to accept 1,000 refugees and provide them with jobs, but they must be manual jobs." ”

Tang Ning's answer shocked Chen Xiangmei: "Oh my God! Tony, you're so big, you know, now you're doing more alone than we've all been donating to the entire association. ”

Tang Ning himself knew that it seemed to be a bit big, but in the face of the tragic situation of his compatriots, if he paid too little, he couldn't get over his conscience, so he smiled: "I'm like this, either I don't do it, or I have to do my best." ”

Chen Xiangmei thought for a moment, and then said: "Tony, I appreciate your contribution to my compatriots, but there is one thing I want to discuss with you, I know that you are willing to accept a thousand refugees to work in your factory, but these people are basically dragged by their families. If you take only young men and women, then the main labor force of the family will be gone, and how will you let the remaining orphans and widows live? ”

Tang Ning understood that Chen Xiangmei had misunderstood herself, so she explained: "What kind of person are you imagining me to be, how can I do something as long as a young person, since it is accepted, it must be received as a family unit." However, I will disperse them to several places, after all, Okinawa alone cannot absorb so many people, and Kokura, Tokyo, Guam, and the United States will all have to be diverted, so please make this clear to them, and they will have a physical examination before receiving them, and I definitely don't want to have infectious diseases. ”

Chen Xiangmei nodded: "This is natural, you are already doing a good deed, and you can't let you pay unconditionally, rest assured." I'll organize people to select them immediately, but you also have to send people to receive them as soon as possible, to be honest, these people are really pitiful, and we can save these people, but what should they do with those who haven't escaped? ”

Tang Ning comforted: "Sister Chen doesn't need to be like this, let's do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, after all, we are not the all-knowing and all-powerful masters, just do our best." ”

Speaking of Chen Xiangmei. Many people's first reaction may be Chennault's wife, but in fact this Ms. Chen is a very successful social activist and political genius. She is not only the first female president of an airline in the United States (vice president of Flying Tiger Airlines), the first Asian-American director of a major American bank, but also one of the 70 most influential people in the United States, vice chairman of the White House Export Council, chairman of the American Council on International Cooperation, member of the Environmental Protection Committee of the U.S. Department of the Interior, president of U.S.-China Shipping, and honorary president of Hainan University.

In his previous life, Tang Ning's understanding of these three difficult times could only be through the words of some materials and the narration of some old people, but this time he heard a real description.

According to the victims, the communalization severely discouraged the productive enthusiasm of the members, and the result was that the world was barren. The harvest plummeted, and the task of subscribing to the public grain could not be completed. Then there were natural disasters for many years, and the peasants were swollen and sick, and the dead bodies were all over the field, which was unbearable to see. Swelling is all caused by nutritional deficiencies. Each person has three taels of food a day, and they have to work to make ends meet, so of course they will get sick in the long run. At that time, the person who had this kind of swelling was swollen all over his body, and his hands and feet were weak, and he would get up a nest when he pressed his hand, and he wanted to eat anything he saw. If the food is not enough, it will be used to replace food, what bean leaves, plantain heads, chlorella, wild vegetable roots, etc. are used to satisfy hunger, and then these things can not be found, and some people begin to eat Guanyin soil. After eating Guanyin soil, the stomach was swollen and could not be excreted, and it was swollen to death after a few days.

There are even cases where children are deceived into going home, and they are boiled and sold on the street as rabbit meat, and it is rumored that eating human flesh can cure swelling disease, so people with swelling disease take some meat from dead people and cook it, and the situation of food shortage is widespread throughout the country, but they dare not face it squarely. If someone says that it is a lack of food, and that people are not well fed and sick, they are slandering the new system and dissatisfied with the new society.

To make matters more troublesome, along with collectivization, the central government ordered the implementation of a number of works based on the Soviet biologist Trofim. Lysenko's pseudo-scientific agricultural innovation. These include dense planting, which means sowing seeds much closer than usual and assuming that the seeds do not compete with each other. In fact, of course, they compete with each other and hinder each other's growth, and as a result, the yield is reduced. Another innovation is based on Lysenko's colleague Teventy Maltsev, who encouraged Chinese farmers to practice deep ploughing (up to a depth of one or two meters). They believe that the most fertile soil is in the depths, and that this soil helps plants grow oversized root systems. However, useless stones and sand were turned out, while the fertile top-cooked soil was buried underneath. It turns out that these so-called experts are talking nonsense!

Although Downing is well-intentioned, it is a pity that there are still people who don't know the hearts of good people, and some people heard that they were going to take them to Japan, and they immediately resolutely opposed it, saying that they would not go to the little devils if they died, and some people spread rumors that "the little devils are going to recruit people to dig in the dead man's pit and find people to do poison gas experiments. ”

This rumor made Tang Ning feel very speechless, it seems that the hatred between China and Japan is too deep, this matter has done its best, you really don't want to come I don't force it, but this incident also reminded him, you have to explain to these people under him, don't really have the Japanese bullying the Chinese, then it's troublesome.

However, this time Tang Ning came to Hong Kong for nothing, this time he took Jin Fei away. (To be continued......)
