In just two days, donations from Hong Kong society and entertainment circles have reached more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Such a figure far exceeded the psychological expectations of President Zhou and the central government, and they knew that this was far from the final donation number.

Because there are still other industries in Hong Kong that have not donated, such as the three giants of the newspaper industry, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, and Sing Tao Daily, have not donated yet.

And with Qiao Feng's enthusiasm and generosity this time, the number of donations from Ming Pao will definitely not be less than 10 million, and even if other Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily donates as much as Qiao Feng, it is impossible to donate too little, otherwise Qiao Feng will show his face greatly, and they will be embarrassed.

There are a large number of other newspapers such as Hong Kong Economic Journal, Business Daily, Ta Kung Pao, etc., and it should be no problem to have tens of millions of newspapers in the whole whole.

The most fearful thing about donations is comparison, and what I'm afraid of is that someone will pick the head.

Everyone is very different, on the same level.

If someone picks up and donates 1 million, then the others are basically around 1 million.

Basically, no one will be too out of line and say that I just want to be much more than you, unless you are much stronger than others and have the strength to donate more.

And if someone picks up the lead in donating at the beginning, such as donating 5 million, 10 million, then everyone else will definitely be embarrassed to donate for the better.

Everyone is a face-saving person, even if they hold on, they are embarrassed to let people say that they are inferior to others.

That's it this time.

He Bo's more than 30 million foundations, there are 10 million donated by Xiao Tiantian to find clues to her husband Wang Dehui, and few of the leading tycoons in various industries in Hong Kong have wiped their faces and donated less.

Didn't Shao raise the donation from the original 20 million to 30 million?

Not to mention the 100 million donated by Qiao Feng and his harem.

It's no wonder that this donation isn't soaring like crazy.

And for President Zhou, he naturally wants to thank the organization and initiator Qiao Feng for such a result.

"President Zhou, you don't have to thank me, it's not my credit alone. Qiao Feng said.

Hong Kong is a city surrounded by the sea on three sides, with no big rivers and no abundant groundwater.

The rainfall is abundant, concentrated in spring and summer, and in a blink of an eye, it flows into the sea.

From the autumn of 1962 to the summer of 1963, Qiao Feng was just born.

Hong Kong suffered a hundred years of drought, the plane scattered dry ice to make rain, useless, believers held a rain prayer ceremony, to no avail, thinking of digging the ground and digging wells, what came out was not water, but mud.

The British authorities in Hong Kong strictly "controlled water" (Cantonese: limited time water supply), and supplied water for 4 hours a day. (Zhou Xingchi's movie Kung Fu sauce burst shampoo and stop water is this stalk.)

During the day, Hong Kong people are either on the way to fetch water or are in line to fetch water.

At that time, a barbecued pork rice cost 5 cents, but a bucket of water cost 5 yuan.

In order to ensure that they can drink water, take a bath, and do laundry, the family often takes turns to stop work and school.

In the construction industry with large water consumption, some sites have to use seawater to concrete, which is the unique "saltwater building" in the 60s, which endangers the quality and safety of the building, and affects it to this day.

Water production is a nightmare for a generation of Hong Kong people, without water, almost desperate.

At that time, Hong Kong people took a bath in the summer, and even used a basin of water for the whole family in turn.

The water shortage in Hong Kong did not happen overnight, but the great drought in 1962 forced the British to put people's livelihood above politics and discuss water supply with the northern province of Guangzhou.

The Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Associations have written letters asking Beiping to lend a helping hand and provide water to Hong Kong compatriots.

To supply water, or not to supply?

It's a political issue.

At that time, Sino-Soviet relations were also deteriorating, and China was in a difficult time at home and abroad, but they were unwilling to give up their Hong Kong compatriots.

At the end of 1963, the then Premier Zhou personally instructed: "Wherever possible, all localities must bear some burden on the supply of Hong Kong and Macao."

As a result, the state bears the design, construction and all engineering costs of all projects, which is about 35.84 million yuan.

It was more than 35 million in the 60s, and the country was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and just after three years of difficult times, more than 35 million was an amount that made a country break its bones.

However, in order for the compatriots to have water to drink, the country overcame the ideological barrier, overcame the economic and financial difficulties, and the Dongshen project was officially finalized.

The focus of this water supply project is to take water from the Dongjiang River in Qiaotou Town, Dongguan, and raise the river water by 46 meters through artificial channels and pumping stations, and then reverse the flow to the Shenzhen Reservoir and finally to Hong Kong.

The whole project is equivalent to building a large slide, with a height difference of forty or fifty meters and a span of 83 kilometers, which is huge.

British water conservancy experts have been to the line of exploration and have said cruel words: the project will be completed in at least three years.

However, the drought in Hong Kong cannot wait for 3 years, or even 1 year is too long.

In the era of extreme shortage of materials, the central government asked the Ministry of Railways to give priority to the transportation of materials from "Dongshen".

Guangdong Province dispatched more than 20,000 migrant workers to carry out construction 24 hours a day.

After 6 typhoons, heavy rains and floods, it finally took only 11 months to build this "lifeline" for Hong Kong.

The Dongshen Project was officially opened, and the fresh water supplied by the mainland to Hong Kong accounted for 2/3 of Hong Kong's annual water consumption at that time, which greatly alleviated the water shortage.

On the same day that the Dongjiang River water was supplied to Hong Kong, the documentary "The Water of the Dongjiang River Comes Over the Mountain" was screened in Hong Kong, and at the end of the broadcast, the audience would stand and applaud.

The water of the Dongjiang River in Qiao Feng's words comes from this documentary.

This popular documentary was one of the best grossing films in Hong Kong in the 60s.

It is also the memory of a generation.

And then that's not all, in the sixties and seventies, Hong Kong's economy ushered in a take-off, and Hong Kong's population exceeded 4 million.

It also means that cities need more fresh water.

From 1965 to 1978, the British authorities in Hong Kong asked the mainland to increase water supply.

In order to meet the needs of Hong Kong, the Dongshen project has carried out 4 large-scale expansions, and the money for the project is all from the central government, and there is no money from Hong Kong.

Therefore, at this time, Hong Kong people know one thing, that is, Guangdong, gave the best water to Hong Kong.

Every glass of water that Hong Kong people drink contains the deep love of the motherland compatriots for Hong Kong people.

Hong Kong people remember.

Yes, at this time, Hong Kong people remember that love, how come after the return, when the relationship should have been closer, but so many people forgot this love.

Could it be that so much time has passed that people have forgotten?

No, it's not, too many Hong Kong people still haven't forgotten, they still love their country deeply.

It's just that a handful of two or five boys chose to forget their ancestors for ulterior purposes.

Thinking of the second and fifth boys in the later generations, Qiao Feng was in a bad mood, but he immediately adjusted his mentality, looked at President Zhou and said solemnly: "President Zhou, I just hope that the country can use these charity funds reasonably and use them to the people who should use them.

"This Mr. Qiao can rest assured, I assure you that all the money will be used where it should be used, and if anyone dares to reach out, the government will deal with it strictly and severely, and will not tolerate it."
