Chapter 73 Arrival in Hong Kong
Whoops!

Li Ling turned over and jumped onto the board.

The weather is hot now, probably in May or June, and Li Ling didn't shy away from it when he got on the boat, so he just wiped his body and changed his clothes.

The passengers consisted of five men and three women, all of whom were not very old. When the three young women saw that he was shirtless, they all blushed. Even though it was dark and they couldn't see the flesh clearly, they were still extremely rude and scolded him together:
"rogue!"

"shameless!"

"Pooh!"

Li Ling quickly took out a piece of clothing from his cowhide bag to cover himself. These lesbians looked fierce, and they might be beaten by gangs if they were too unrestrained. He blocked his good figure in time.

After he tidied up and dried his hair, he took out a box of Marlboro, which was also dead money, and scattered them out one by one.

All the young men accepted the cigarettes politely, but the boy pushed his hands and declined politely: "Brother Gao, I am young, and the elders in my family don't allow me to smoke!"

Seeing that Li Ling was tall, the boy didn't dare to ask his name, so he called him 'Brother Gao'.

"Bao Zai, you just entered junior high school at the age of 13. Even if you escape from Hong Kong, you won't be able to find a job, right?" Li Ling took out another candy and handed it to the boy. Messy stuff.

Li Ling asked when he was changing clothes just now, the young man's surname is Lin, and his name is Baozai. This name is the same as Li Ling's cousin's baby name, which makes him feel very familiar.

"I don't need to work, I'm raised by my mother!" Lin Baozai peeled off the candy wrapper, and chewed it beautifully.

Then he thanked: "Thank you Brother Gao, this candy is so sweet! Brother Gao, my old mother has been in Hong Kong for seven or eight years, and they will arrange for me to go to Hong Kong Island Middle School, and they have already contacted them."

"As far as I know, the Hong Kong government has withdrawn the barriers a few years ago, and is currently implementing a policy of arrest and release. As long as we mainlanders smuggle in and be caught and sent back, the chances of staying in Hong Kong are very low.

Baozi, if you want to go to middle school, you need to apply for an ID card first. Can your family handle it? "

Li Ling tried to make a routine.

"Brother Gao, it seems that you are not very familiar with the laws of Hong Kong Island. Although the Hong Kong government stopped applying for ID cards for us mainlanders in October 1980, I am a minor and can get amnesty from the immigration department. They will Citing humanitarian terms, I was specially granted the right of residence.

So once I arrive in Hong Kong, as long as I avoid being caught by the police at the border, I will definitely be able to get an ID card. "Lin Baozai was a little complacent, looking at the other passengers on board.

"You are all grown-ups. If you can't get an amnesty, you must not go out on the street after you arrive in Hong Kong, or you will be caught by the police and you will definitely be sent back."

Li Ling let out an 'oh', and he had learned a lot. After that, he asked a few common sense questions. Although Li Ling had checked the information in the real world, it was not very clear.

Through the conversation, Li Ling learned that all the people on this boat came from the same county in Guangdong Province. The team assembled in their hometown did not know each other, but everyone and the snakehead were fellow villagers. The boat fare for their smuggling was 2000 yuan.

It's a super expensive sea trip.

It has only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and the prices in the mainland are extremely low, and the per capita annual income does not exceed 400 yuan. In provincial capitals like Yangcheng, a catty of rice is only two or three cents, pork is only seven or eight cents, and eggs are only one yuan. Buying ten, 2000 yuan is enough to support a working family to live affluently for two years.

Why can the eight stowaways on board afford the 2000 yuan fare?Because it was all money from relatives in Hong Kong, eight people paid a total of 16000 yuan to the snakehead. After one transaction, the snakehead turned into a million-dollar household. Li Ling couldn't guess how much he could earn.

The snake head is the long-tailed man, everyone calls him 'Brother Long-tailed', he controls the course at the bow, and when he heard the conversation between Li Ling and Lin Baozai, he turned his head and interjected:

"Bao Zai, your old mother went to Hong Kong a few years ago. I remember that there is a big brother above you who also works in Hong Kong. Why do they want you to stay in the mainland?"

"It's such a long-tailed brother. When I was a child, my old man went to Xingma with my grandfather to make a living. At that time, it was the Republic of China. After the founding of New China, he came back to settle down and married my mother. Our family belongs to returned overseas Chinese. Later, it was not a trouble. Sports? My family is in a bad situation, so my old man has the idea of ​​going abroad again.

At that time, the government had a policy that allowed the whole family of the expatriates to move to Xiangjiang, but one person had to be left behind, otherwise no one would be able to leave the mainland. He kept me. I was only five or six years old that year. "

Lin Baozai knows everything, the snake head is the boss, he must be respectful and respectful, this is the stern exhortation of his elders before he left home.

"Actually, I can apply for a visa to visit relatives, go through customs and directly transit Xiangjiang, but I was left by my family as a guarantor, and the government in my hometown would not let me go, so I had to smuggle in."

As he spoke, the coastline of Hong Kong Island was already in sight.

A hundred meters away is Tsim Nai Tsui.

Tsim Bi Tsui is located on the northwest coastline of Tin Shui Wai Village, Yuen Long District, Hong Kong Island.

This is a triangular beach shaped like a human nose, hence the name. Standing on the 'tip of the nose' you can overlook the magnificent land of the Chinese mainland.

The waters outside Tsimbi Tsui are called "Shen Wan" by mainlanders and "Back Bay" by Hong Kong people. Since the sea surface is not stormy all the year round, and it is not full of sharks like Mipeng Bay in YT area, it is safe to swim. Since the 60s, Tsim Nai Tsui has always been the preferred landing point for mainland escapees from Hong Kong by sea.

Because there are many people who take this path, the management is also strict.

There is a sentry post in Tsim Bi Tsui, and there are border police recruited by the British Empire stationed here to monitor and arrest mainland refugees. At the foot of Lau Fau Shan, two miles away from Tsim Bi Tsui, there is a Shan Dong Street. It is the base camp for arresting fugitives from Hong Kong.

Police officers, wolf dogs, searchlights, and non-lethal firearms, even helicopters and warships were dispatched to seal off the seaside area of ​​​​Tin Shui Wai when the tide of fleeing Hong Kong broke out before 1980.

One can imagine the difficulty of escaping from Hong Kong.

When he was about to land, Lin Baozai was too nervous, so he hid behind Li Ling and grabbed his clothes. Li Ling was a big guy, which made him feel safe.

Seeing his movement, Li Ling encouraged him: "Bao Zai, this is our land, which was forcibly rented out by the shameless British bastards. The laws they enacted are themselves illegal, and they have no right to prevent us from landing. Although we are smuggling, you don't have to feel guilty!"

"Choose!" Brother Changwei turned his head sharply, and said to him sarcastically, "Last year, the British boss Sachey visited China and wanted to renew the lease of the land here. Our boss disagreed, and he was very upset. Since last year The talks started in September, and they have been dragged on until now without a result, on their territory, you'd better pretend to be a grandson with your tail between your legs!"

 A new volume of "The True Colors of Heroes" begins, part of the plot is borrowed from the Hong Kong entertainment novel "Hong Kong Style Painting", paying tribute to the big brother, hehe.

  Seeing that I was fully subscribed at the time, I hope I will not be blamed, hehehehe, it is a pity that the eunuch of that book, hey, there is another good book missing, how miserable life is!
