"For smugglers, the most terrifying thing is repatriation." Cheng Shixi rested his chin on his hand, rubbed his index finger against the tip of his nose, and said in a gorgeous and beautiful voice.

"That's right, repatriation is definitely a desperate and devastating blow to those fleeing from Hong Kong who have risked their lives and worked so hard." The old man echoed, "Fortunately, we did not die in the sea Unfortunately, as soon as we stepped into the land of Hong Kong, we met the police who were extremely romantic teachers. The Hong Kong British government mobilized thousands of military police and started large-scale expulsion and arrest. However, we were lucky, and there were more than ten Thousands of Hong Kong citizens rushed here with food and drinking water to protect those of us fleeing Hong Kong.

The scene at that time was very touching!Many Hong Kong policemen couldn't bear to arrest these people. At that time, some policemen even refused to obey the order and hugged and wept with the fugitives.

Finally, under the instructions of "inaction by disobedience", the police finally began to execute the order, dragging these deserters to hundreds of vehicles already prepared by the mountain and preparing to be sent back to the mainland the next day.

That night, almost all entertainment venues in Hong Kong automatically turned off their lights and closed their doors in protest.Almost all media have stopped entertainment programs, and many radio stations have started live broadcasting the situation here. [

The next day, when hundreds of cars lined up in a long queue and slowly drove towards the inland direction, we were all desperate, our hearts were broken, and we even wanted to die. A jaw-dropping scene appeared.Hundreds of Hong Kong citizens suddenly jumped into the middle of the road and lay on the ground, blocking cars.A roar erupted from the crowd: "Jump out of the car!" We took advantage of the confusion and fled like flies.It was also the first time I met Feng Yi. "There was a faint smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, as if nostalgic, and his ink-like eyes glanced at his wife beside him.

As if feeling his gentle gaze, Qiao Fengyi also remembered the moment when she first met, it felt like it happened yesterday, the first time she saw him was the most embarrassing moment in his life.Although embarrassed, he still forced himself to be calm and asked her to take them away.She believed that he would not hurt her because of the coincidence.Only then drove the three of them back to the city, and then parted ways.

I thought it was an accidental meeting, and they met again, but who knew that they would meet again a few months later, involving a lifetime of love.

"All of us fled the scene under the cover of the surrounding Hong Kong citizens. When we fled to the city, we first started to be cautious. We were afraid of being caught by the police and sent back to the mainland. We could only work illegally. Earn some money to live on, live in a slum, and then move out when I got my ID card and found a formal job, and I had savings.” He paused and continued, “To be honest, it was really poor at the time, and the people around We were as poor as we were. At that time, we fled to Hong Kong with all our minds, thinking that when we came here, we would be able to eat big pieces of meat and drink in big bowls. The cruel reality knocked us back to our original shape. ', what to learn? But the neighbors at that time were very good. The residents in the squatter area were all equally poor. So every house didn't have to lock the door. The atmosphere of "watching and helping each other" among the neighbors impressed me the most. If a family has a patient, several families will come to take care of it. If the child is not taken care of, neighbors will come to help." The old man remembered. "Now! Laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes, everything depends on the money. It's hard to go back to that simple era."

"The change of mood is due to the environment. People have grown up." Fang Monan said.

"Yes! When I grow up, people's hearts will never return to the original state of mind." The old man echoed, and changed the subject, "It's hard for you to understand the mood when we escaped from Hong Kong when we crossed the border. Hundreds of thousands Those who escaped from Hong Kong, in order to make a living, while building Hong Kong into the "Four Tigers" of Asia, quietly sacrificed their youth and even their lives."

This Fang Monan knew that when Cheng Zhengfei talked about the family history of those rich people, he said: Among the top 100 rich people in Hong Kong at the end of the last century, more than 40 were Hong Kong escapees in the 70s and [-]s.Among them are Zeng Xianzi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Goldlion Group, Li Zhiying, Chairman of Next Media Group, and Liu Mengxiong, the "Godfather of Futures".Not only that, the famous writer Ni Kuang, "Godfather of Music" Luo Wen, "Gold Medal Screenwriter" Liang Liren and other Hong Kong cultural elites were also among those who fled Hong Kong.They have created many 'wealth myths'.

"Of course, our prosperity is mainly due to Hong Kong's economic boom in the 70s. He is the hard work and struggle of the grassroots and their tenacious history." The old man smiled very proudly. "Opportunity awaits those who are prepared."

However, Qiao Fengyi knew that the hard work the old man put in for the preparation was not humane. He worked during the day and devoted all his time to books at night. It was a waste of sleep and food.In fact, she can ask her natal family to help him, but she knows that with his self-esteem, it is impossible to accept her natal family's support, so he lives in a poor area, and she follows him. He lives in a government rented house, and she also lives in public housing.As the business grew bigger and bigger, their house was changed again and again.The sisters of her natal family said she was an idiot at the time, looking for abuse.You said that she, a college student who has received a higher education and studied abroad, actually has this traditional concept of marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog.Maybe she was poisoned, poisoned by him.

Of course, compared to the huge numbers of these wealthy fugitives from Hong Kong, they are only rare, and many of them are just working hard at the bottom to earn enough food and clothing.However, these outstanding few people cannot do without Hong Kong's economic take-off in the 70s, and the world's economy began to take off in the 60s and 70s. Within a few decades, they became highly affluent and created the Asian Tigers.

Hong Kong benefits from its geographical location, which is close to the sea. In fact, several other dragons are also close to the sea, proud and ocean.In the era of global free trade, the ocean can provide a convenient and cheap transportation mode, which is an important guarantee for an export-oriented economy.The seaside factor is of great help to the rapid rise of the four Asian tigers.

Good international economic situation. After World War II, the world entered the period of freest trade. Before World War II, international trade was restricted by many factors.The signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the status of the US dollar in international trade, the collapse of the traditional colonial system, the reduction of pirates, the advancement of water shipping technology or equipment, the development of air transport, and the convenience of communication have greatly facilitated international trade and reduced the The cost of international trade promotes the development of international trade.This laid the foundation for the Four Tigers to develop an export-oriented economy.The emergence of such an environment is not something that can be imagined. The luck of the Four Tigers is that there was such an international trade environment at that time.

The old man said with emotion, "Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s was really a paradise for dreamers. The Hollywood-style dream of "you can succeed as long as you work hard" is also a portrayal of Hong Kong back then."

"It's the same here now! Looking at the spiritual outlook of Xing on the street, he is full of vigor and striving to make progress. I believe that as long as he works hard, he will succeed." Cheng Shixi said with a smile.

In the early days of reform and opening up, it was also a paradise for dreamers.

For Fang Monan and most of his peers, everyone knows Hong Kong and is deeply influenced by Hong Kong culture, such as Young and Dangerous, TVB dramas, and Stephen Chow.People love the city in the movie.In Hong Kong, where there is loyalty, justice, law and freedom, the reality does not lose warmth.

"I don't know what's wrong with people nowadays. They all want to get rich overnight and take shortcuts. I took a taxi once, and I heard the driver complain, saying that he wanted to go back to the Mao era. The taxi driver is almost sixty! He is still more than ten years younger, and his accent should be a Hong Kong escapee like me. After talking with him, I realized that he is a later Hong Kong escapee, a person who is still struggling for life." The old man said with emotion, "People are old. , I began to miss the old days.”

It’s not that people miss and sigh, but later generations don’t know whether it’s because people’s demands are too high, or the reality is too cruel, high housing prices, high rents, gnawing on the old, and squeezed dreams... These topics that are mentioned all over the sky are rich in material, but spiritually The more withered, people began to miss that era of high fighting spirit and devotion to all passions.But people will not be able to return to that era after all, and everything has to look forward.

I was full of emotions for a while, and after the memory was over, the old man recovered.Cheng Shixi said, "Old man, tell me about the family affairs, and ask the baby to tell you a divination, so that you can count good and bad luck."

Qiao Fengyi tugged at the hem of his clothes worriedly, and asked with her eyes, "Master, I really want to say it!" '

The old man shook his head slightly, then nodded again, "Yeah." The old man nodded and sighed, "Oh! Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they used to be poor and didn't have so much trouble! The family is unfortunate, but the appearance is beautiful, but in fact... …well!"

"Hehe... When you are poor, when you think about your livelihood, you don't have time to think about it. When you have a lot of money, it involves your own family, that is, relatives. Of course, it hurts even more." Cheng Shixi said with emotion.Although he did not participate in the family competition, he, a bystander, could see the various calculations going on every day in the family. Although he was young, he could see clearly. What's worse is that pigs and dogs are not as good.

"You always speak slowly, don't worry." Fang Monan said, it can be seen that the old man's heart is not calm, it can be said that it is very painful, any matter involving relatives, no matter how small the words are, it hurts like a steel knife wrist bone .

The old man sighed again, and then he said, "It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. I have three sons and a daughter under my knees. Needless to say, the daughter is already married. She has the right to intervene in the company's affairs. Now that I am old, the company's board of directors I have been arguing endlessly about the heir. It’s just my three sons. After my inspection, the eldest is more than conservative, but not pioneering. The second is a playboy, let’s not mention it! The third is too aggressive and only knows how to rush!”
