The delegation of Hong Kong's cultural circles to visit Beijing that Xu Jiasheng set up this time, including Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu, has only eight people in total.

Jin Yong was received by the No. 1 chief last year, so naturally he didn't need to enter Beijing again this time. Ni Frame is a fugitive from Hong Kong from the north, who has always had a lot of smear words against the Celestial Empire, and he is even more frightened to immigrate overseas when Hong Kong returns to Hong Kong in the future, and now he naturally does not dare to enter Beijing to face the saint.

As for petty bourgeois female writers such as Yishu and Lin Yanni, they are not interested in political things, and they will not go to the mainland with Xu Jiasheng no matter how much they lobby.

As for those people in the cultural circles who are inferior or slightly less famous, although Xu Jiasheng can invite them, inviting those people will inevitably make Shao Yifu and Kang Jianfei unhappy, because it will reduce the secrecy of the trip.

The delegation took a special plane arranged by the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, led by Ji Xiaoyue, Xu Jiasheng's female secretary. Because Kang Jianfei was not familiar with the other members, before boarding the plane, Ji Xiaoyue specially introduced Kang Jianfei.

"Mr. Kang, this is Mr. Zhao Shaoang, a master of the Lingnan School......," Ji Xiaoyue said, pointing to an old man with white hair, who looked to be at least 80 years old.

"Hello Mr. Zhao!" Kang Jianfei was completely out of respect for the elderly, so his tone was slightly respectful, but he still shook hands with Zhao Shaoang with one hand.

In 1930, Zhao Lao's painting won the gold medal at the Belgian International Exposition, and he lectured at Lizi University in the United Kingdom, Harvard and Berkeley University in the United States, and now his works have been circulated in more than 20 countries around the world. A few years ago, Zhao Shaoang worked in Taipei, Hong Kong and Bei. The holding of a solo exhibition in Beijing can be said to be a cross-strait exhibition.

But Kang Jianfei has a specialization in art, Kang Jianfei is relatively good at film and music, and he can make a few similar graffiti in art, and he has never heard of any Lingnan school.

"Hello. I've seen your movie. Mr. Zhao Shaoang said with a smile.

Kang Jianfei asked, "I don't know which one Elder Zhao has watched?" ”

Zhao Shaoang said with a smile: "Home Alone", which I watched with my great-grandson, was very interesting. ”

After greeting Zhao Shaoang, Ji Xiaoyue introduced Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu to others, including Gao Lijie, Chen Xiuyan, Wei Han and others, all of whom are big celebrities in the field of Hong Kong culture and art.

When it was time to board the plane, Kang Jianfei felt the taste, and everyone in the imitation Beijing group was centered on Zhao Shaoang. Even Shao Yifu made a "please" gesture and said, "Old Zhao." You please! ”

"Then you're welcome!" Zhao Shaoang didn't push around, and with the support of his relatives, he took the lead in stepping on the suspension ladder.

Seeing Shao Yifu's low profile, Kang Jianfei asked Ji Xiaoyue in a low voice under curiosity: "Miss Ji, what is the origin of this old Mr. Zhao?" ”

Ji Xiaoyue explained: "One of the founders of the Lingnan School. A famous painter in the world, he held a personal exhibition in Beijing the year before last. Several central leaders went to visit in person. ”

"Ahem. I see. Kang Jianfei coughed to hide his ignorance.

It is estimated that it is because Zhao is very old, and after the plane took off, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Kang Jianfei sat in the back row of Shao Yifu and said in a low voice: "Boss Shao, congratulations to Sister Hong Kong for winning the ratings." ”

Kang Jianfei's congratulations. In Shao Yifu's ears, it was purely a blockage, and Sister Hong Kong, who had been in business for more than ten years, only won a few cleaning points against the newly founded Sister Dong, which was a loss in Shao Yifu's opinion.

However, Shao Yifu is still very self-contained, although he is unhappy. But he still smiled: "Your Miss Dongfang is not bad, that Lizhi is quite promising." ”

The two chatted as if they didn't have any festivals, and gradually talked about the topic of going to the capital.

"Xiaokang, what do you think of the Sino-British negotiations?" Shao Yifu relied on the old and sold the old in terms of title.

Kang Jianfei didn't care, after all, the other party was old enough to be his grandfather, he said: "As long as the brain is not stupid, you can see the resolute attitude of the Celestial Empire government, and it is impossible for the British side to send the army to Asia like the Falklands War." ”

"Oh, why is it impossible for Britain to fight a second 'Falklands War'?" Shao Yifu asked with interest.

Now many Hong Kong people are afraid that there will be a war after the Sino-British negotiations collapse, because Britain has just mobilized a lot of people because of a Falklands, and Hong Kong is much more important than the Falklands, and it is not guaranteed that Britain will fight another war because of Hong Kong.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Hong Kong is not the Falklands, there are not white people living on the land of Hong Kong, and the most important thing is that China is not Argentina." Boss Shao went to the capital this time, I'm afraid I have already figured it out in my heart, why bother to test me again? ”

"You see it better than many people," Shao Yifu said approvingly, "but what will you choose?" Now that DreamWorks' annual box office in Taiwan/Bay is at least NT$100 million, are you willing to give up the Taiwan/Bay market and invest in the mainland? ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and stopped talking, the box office of 100 million Taiwan dollars is a relatively conservative algorithm. Last year, a total of 5 DreamWorks films were released in the Taiwan/Bay Area, with a total box office of NT$120 million. Among them, the black and white strips are close to 20 million Taiwan dollars, and the actual income of DreamWorks is about 10 million Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars - this is a very good profit.

After the plane landed in Beijing, everyone saw someone holding a sign at the exit of the airport from a distance -- "Warmly welcome compatriots from Hong Kong's cultural circles."

The person in charge of picking up the plane was a person from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, and the leader was about 40 years old, wearing a Mao suit and glasses.

Several comrades who picked up the plane were wearing Mao suits, and in comparison, Guangzhou/Zhou at this time was much more at the forefront, and many officials wore suits to receive foreign guests and Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots.

Section Chief Zheng led everyone to the Wanguo Hotel to settle down, held a small dinner that night, and then announced to everyone the itinerary of the two days: the first day to visit the "People's Literature" magazine, the afternoon to visit the capital attractions, the evening to watch the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe performance; In the morning of the next day, he met with the leading comrades of the central government, dined at the State Guesthouse at noon, and conducted cultural exchanges with his mainland counterparts in the afternoon (Shao Yifu and Kang Jianfei visited the Beijing Film Studio, and Zhao Shaoang and other painters naturally exchanged with calligraphers and painters from the mainland); As for the third day, those who are in a hurry can return to Hong Kong by themselves, and those who want to stay will be accompanied by comrades from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office to visit the famous places in the capital throughout the process.

……

After resting in the hotel for a night, the next day Section Chief Zheng came to the Wanguo Hotel early in the morning, and after having breakfast with everyone, everyone took a bus to the "People's Literature" magazine.

Why do you want to visit the People's Literature Magazine?

Because Kang Jianfei and his entourage are all people from Hong Kong's cultural circles, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office arranged a visit to the "People's Literature" magazine mainly to prove to Hong Kong compatriots that the mainland today will not be convicted for words as it did in the past, let alone write an article, paint a picture, or make a movie and be beaten as anti-revolutionary. Life.

At this time, the editor-in-chief of the "People's Literature" magazine was Wang Meng, and with a group of deputy editors-in-chief and well-known writers, a banner was opened at the door of the magazine to welcome him.

The old man standing in front of Wang Meng is particularly prominent, and it is Mr. Ba Jin, who is the current chairman of the Writers Association.

On the side of the Hong Kong cultural circles visiting Beijing, Mr. Zhao Shaoang naturally walked in the front, followed by Shao Yifu, who was the second in age, and Kang Jianfei walked behind like a follower.

As soon as the people on both sides met, before Section Chief Zheng introduced each other, they saw Mr. Jin holding Zhao Shaoang's hand, and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Shuyi (Zhao Shaoang's character), I can't rely on you this time, how can I pay back the calligraphy and painting that I owe!" ”

Zhao Shaoang was also very happy to see Ba Jin, held his hand and said with a smile: "I met Brother Xian again, it seems that if I don't use my pen to draw a pair, I can't go back to Hong Kong this time!" ”

Yes, the two old men turned out to be old acquaintances, and the cross-strait exchanges instantly turned into the rhythm of reunion of old friends.

However, since the leaders on both sides are friends, the atmosphere of the next exchange is much more harmonious.

In front of him were all literati and writers, and Kang Jianfei, a pseudo-writer who had written two novels, couldn't interject, just followed them around like a soy sauce player.

Editor-in-chief Wang Meng took everyone to visit People's Literature in recent years, focusing on some articles with breakthrough ideas, including scar literature that reflects the catastrophe of the past ten years. The implication of this move is to say: You see that we can even write articles about the 10-year movement, and you Hong Kong cultural people don't have to worry about the same freedom of speech and creative freedom after Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and before the "People's Literature" magazine invited everyone to dinner, Wang Meng took the initiative to say: "You are all members of Hong Kong's cultural circles, and today's arrival will make our magazine flourish. If you don't give up, it's better to leave some ink treasures......"

After all, this was a goodwill exchange, Wang Meng's request was embarrassed to refuse, and everyone said: "Zhao Lao, please!" ”

Zhao Shaoang's identity is a master of the Lingnan School of painting, and his calligraphy is also wonderful, and he writes two ancient poems with a stroke: "Ring must respond to the same sound, and the Tao is solid from the same kind." ”

"Good words, poems are even more appropriate! Whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong, everyone is a like-minded person when creating culture and art. Ba Jin clapped his hands in approval.

After Zhao Shaoang's inscription, others left ink treasures, and even Shao Yifu wrote two ancient poems that fit the occasion, and those words were written very beautifully.

In the end, only Kang Jianfei was left, Rao was thicker than the city wall, and he was still embarrassed to write stinky words with a brush.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Kang Jianfei finally gritted his teeth and let go of his mouth, and wrote down a few crooked characters: "I wish "People's Literature" better and better!" ”

When Kang Jianfei paid off, the Hong Kong people who came with him all turned their faces away, as if I didn't know this person. The writers and editors of "People's Literature" held back their laughter and held back their uncomfortably laughter, for fear that laughing out loud would hurt the face of Hong Kong compatriots.

Wang Meng, who took the initiative to invite words, looked at the "good words" that had not dried his pen and ink, his facial muscles twitched twice, and it took a long time to come up with suitable words and said: "Mr. Kang's words are very chic!" (To be continued......)

PS: I will be out of town in the next few days, and today's chapter is also the word in the hotel, and Lao Wang will try to write as much as possible.
