Chapter 228: Different Time and Space

When Yang Jing got off the plane from Kai Tak Airport next to Kowloon Bay and left the airport, the kind of atmosphere that greeted Yang Jing made Yang Jing feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

Due to the terrain limitations, Kai Tak Airport is located in the center of Hong Kong Island, and this airport with only one runway was built in Kowloon Bay using the method of land reclamation.

Similarly, this international airport, which has only one runway, ranks third in the world in terms of international passenger traffic and first in cargo volume at its busiest time!

This narrow and cramped airport has created such a proud achievement with a runway, which has to be said to be a miracle.

After leaving the terminal building from the gate of the airport, the situation in front of him made Yang Jing fall into a strange memory.

Whether it is in the original time and space or in the current time and space, this is the first time Yang Jing has come to Hong Kong Island, but this does not mean that Yang Jing is not familiar with Hong Kong Island.

When he was in college, although he had entered the second decade of the 21st century, Yang Jing still liked to watch old movies on Hong Kong Island, especially those in the most glorious period of Hong Kong Island cinema in the 80s and 90s.

Fa Ge, Brother Long, Honggu, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Principal, the Elder Brother, Xingzai...... A series of familiar names contributed to the extreme development of the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island in the past two decades.

And things like "Across the Seas", "The True Color of Heroes", "God of Gamblers" series, Xingzai's nonsensical series, etc., are also Yang Jing's favorite films to watch.

Through the movie, Yang Jing has seen a lot of Hong Kong Island's streets and cities in the 80s and 90s of the last century, so even if it is the first time he came to Hong Kong Island, and he came to Hong Kong Island in the early 80s of the last century, Yang Jing is no stranger to this city from his feelings.

On the way to the hotel by taxi, Yang Jing could see a familiar street scene that he had seen in movies or TV from time to time, although his memory was a little vague, but when he saw these street scenes in his memory, he could still remember which movie or TV scene this place had appeared in for the first time......

Moreover, most of the young men on the street have long hair, and most of the girls have explosive heads, and jeans and bell bottoms are full of streets and alleys.

Yang Jing also knows that in a few years, this kind of dress of young people on Hong Kong Island will be introduced to the mainland and completely spread in the mainland.

Not to mention anything else, Yang Jing has seen photos of his parents when they were young in the old photo album at home more than once, especially when the two of them first met, it was about eight or eight years, and the father at that time was dressed with long hair and bell bottoms, and the mother's previous big braids were gone, and what appeared in the photo was a girl with a hot exploding head. If it weren't for my grandmother telling Yang Jing with great certainty that this is your mother, Yang Jing couldn't believe that her mother, who was a car stopper in the cotton spinning factory, still had such a trendy side......

In fact, until the advent of the new century, Hong Kong Island was the fashion vanguard of the entire Oriental continent, and always led the trend of clothing for the common people of that huge country.

This kind of appreciation of Hong Kong Island from the perspective of a futuristic person approaching 40 years ago made Yang Jing feel really amazing, which led Yang Jing to live on Hong Kong Island for two more days.

Subsequently, Yang Jing went through the relevant travel procedures, took the train through the Luohu port, and entered the boundary of Pengcheng.

In fact, it was also Yang Jing's curiosity, he really wanted to see what Pengcheng, one of the four first-tier cities in China, was like in 1980.

Thanks to the existence of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, Pengcheng, which was originally just a small village, was finally officially established as Pengcheng in March last year, and then in November of this year, Pengcheng was upgraded to a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of the province again.

And Yang Jing also knew that on August 26 this year, Pengcheng would officially establish its status as a special economic zone, and this day was also known as Pengcheng's birthday in later generations.

Then from this day on, Pengcheng was like a rocket filled with booster fuel, and began to rise rapidly, with a development speed that amazed the world, and developed into the world's first-class city in just less than 40 years.

This is the famous "Pengcheng Miracle"!

It's just that now, Pengcheng, which has not yet begun to ignite and lift off, is really ...... It's primitive......

Although Hong Kong Island in 1980 was relatively primitive in Yang Jing's eyes, compared with Pengcheng, which is only across the river, Hong Kong Island is simply in the sky, and Pengcheng, which has not yet started, is a complete mud leg.

At this time, Pengcheng has not yet kicked off the prelude to large-scale construction, and this small city is still a pure original ecology at this time.

In later generations, there were a total of seven railway stations in Pengcheng, and now, there is only a small and poor railway station, and even the waiting hall is simply a row of bungalows......

After coming out of the train station, Yang Jing walked all the way, of course, his standard crooked nut appearance naturally attracted the attention of many people in Pengcheng.

In this era, although Pengcheng and Hong Kong Island are separated by a river, foreigners who often appear on Hong Kong Island on the other side of the river are rarely seen in Pengcheng, especially foreigners accompanied by the police.

That's right, just after getting off the train, Yang Jing was invited into a bungalow, and when he came out, there were two more police comrades wearing white 72-style police uniforms around him. In this era, even if foreigners come to visit, they need to be accompanied by a police comrade. As for what the purpose, you can go for yourself.

However, Yang Jing didn't care, he knew that one of the policemen with guns was purely to protect himself, while the other younger policeman was accompanied as an interpreter throughout the process.

However, when the three of them were alone, Yang Jing showed a fluent Mandarin, and the two police comrades immediately looked like they had seen a ghost.

"Officer Li, Officer Wang, although I am an Englishman, I have always been very yearning for the great Chinese culture, and since I was a child, I have been learning Chinese from a Chinese in Chinatown in our city, so I can speak Chinese so fluently. ”

Yang Jing's explanation made the two of them understand a little, but they seemed to be more wary of Yang Jing in their expressions.

Yang Jing also has no choice about this kind of vigilance, who let this era be like this? Now is not the era of later generations, foreigners can be seen on the streets of big cities, and in this era, when foreigners enter the country, the personnel of the relevant departments must maintain a high degree of vigilance......

For this, Yang Jing has no choice, he can't take the initiative to expose his old bottom.

In this way, accompanied by two police comrades, Yang Jing hurriedly took the train back to Hong Kong Island after walking around the calm and primitive "city center" of Pengcheng without even taking a photo.

This kind of surveillance is not pleasant, but Yang Jing really opened his eyes, it turned out that Pengcheng in the early 1980s was like this.

said that it was a city, but in fact, Pengcheng at this time was not much bigger than a small town.

Walking into the center of the city, the commercial area near the east gate of Luohu in the later Pengcheng, that is, the area of the East Gate Pedestrian Street, is not a pedestrian street now, it is called Jiefang Road in this era, but it is just an asphalt road that is not more than five or six meters wide, and there are only two-storey residential buildings on both sides. The high-rise buildings that rose from the ground in later generations disappeared at this time.

As for the Yingbin Garden Square near Lao Cai, at this time it is a vacant land overgrown with trees and some stone benches and tables under the trees......

And Zhongying Street at that time, in Yang Jing's view, was not as good as the old Jiefang Road. The streets are full of ordinary people dressed as peasants, and the occasional sight of a person riding a big golden deer bicycle will cause many envious eyes......

Anyway, Pengcheng at this time really did not have a trace of the appearance of later generations, and at a glance, all of them were two-story old houses with a history of several decades......

After taking the train from Pengcheng back to Hong Kong Island again, Yang Jing spent another two or three days going through the travel procedures to Yanjing, and then took the plane all the way north to Yanjing in early 1980.

In February, Hong Kong Island and Pengcheng can wear single pants and single coats, but in Yanjing in February, it can still be cold and can freeze people into a dog. Fortunately, Yang Jing bought down jackets and other winter clothes on Hong Kong Island, so that he would not be frozen into a dog.

However, the Yanjing of this era is really very primitive, even if the Yanjing of later generations has already surpassed Hong Kong Island, but at this time, I have to admit that Yanjing in this era is really inferior to Hong Kong Island.

In this era, Yanjing has the most bicycles, as if all the bicycles in the world are concentrated in this great city, anyway, no matter where Yang Jing goes, he can see a tide of bicycles.

On Hong Kong Island, it cannot be said that there are no bicycles, but there are more of a variety of boxy cars. But on the streets of Yanjing, cars are really rare, except for those buses with round heads and round brains......

However, the air in Yanjing at this time is really good, innocent and blue, which is far from being comparable to Yanjing more than 30 years later.

Yanjing in this era is more like the capital of this great country, although there are fewer modern things, but that kind of quaint atmosphere is rarely felt by later generations.

Although Yanjing in later generations is larger and more prosperous, it seems that something is missing in the dark, and it is not in the Forbidden City or those protected old courtyard areas that you can vaguely feel that trace of simplicity.

And in this era, if you look at any place, you can feel the simplicity of the city's thousand-year-old history.

If Yanjing is a giant who has rejuvenated more than 30 years later, then in this era, Yanjing is an old man full of wisdom. The former may be more vigorous, but the latter can make people involuntarily intoxicated.
