The Basic Law of Hong Kong Island clearly stipulates that garrison personnel must abide by both national laws and Hong Kong Island laws. This is the first time in the history of the People's Liberation Army that it has fulfilled dual legal obligations. There are many things on Hong Kong Island that are completely different from how they are handled on the mainland. "Be brave when it comes to justice", "help others" and other words that are familiar to mainlanders often have a different meaning on Hong Kong Island. If the garrison officers and soldiers cannot establish a new ideology, it is very likely that there will be jokes or even trouble.
Therefore, during this period, Song Jinping also strengthened the education and training of officers and soldiers in this area. In order to meet the needs of Hong Kong Island defense, the troops stationed in Hong Kong Island use various channels to allow cadres and soldiers to learn legal knowledge. They specially issued books such as "One Hundred Questions on the Basic Law", "Hong Kong Island Law Reader", "Hong Kong Island Current Laws" and other books to enhance officers and soldiers' awareness of abiding by special laws in special circumstances.
Although Lin Yu¡¯s point raised at this time seemed a bit redundant and lagging, Song Jinping couldn¡¯t help but be surprised that he could think of this given his age and experience.
Lin Yu did not pay too much attention to Song Jinping's reaction, but continued: "Secondly, we must strengthen the establishment of a management system for officers and soldiers stationed in Hong Kong that can adapt to the new environment and form, and avoid 'disturbing the people'. Whether it is the troops' rest, training and duty , all must be done so as not to disturb the people. The living habits of the people on Hong Kong Island are different. It is possible that when the garrison gets up, they are still sleeping, and when the garrison is resting, they may still be working and entertaining. In addition, Hong Kong Island is a small place, and most military camps are far away from each other. Residential areas are also very close to each other. If domestic loudspeakers, blowing of trumpets, and even the noise of aircraft taking off and landing are still maintained in the camp, it will most likely cause "nuisance" and cause dissatisfaction among Hong Kong residents. Instead, we should allow Hong Kong Island citizens feel that the garrison of troops on Hong Kong Island will not have any impact on their lives."
This time, Song Jinping's expression changed slightly when he heard this. What he hadn't considered for a moment was actually revealed by Lin Yu. How can you not be surprised?
In fact, Song Jinping visited Hong Kong Island as early as July last year at the invitation of General Deng Shouren, commander of the British Forces in Hong Kong. This is the first time in history that soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army have come to Hong Kong Island, the sacred territory of the motherland, in a public capacity. At the same time, since serving as the first commander of the Hong Kong Garrison Force. He also gained an in-depth understanding of various situations in Hong Kong Island. But if it weren't for Lin Yu's reminder today, he would have simply ignored this.
"Don't think these are just trivial matters, and according to convention, how can there be no bugles, horns or even the sound of drills in the military camp? But in Hong Kong Island, a critical and sensitive place, these trivial things may have extremely negative social impacts. This deepens Hong Kong Island citizens¡¯ rejection and dissatisfaction with the garrison.
"Xiaoyu is right." Mr. Lin also nodded appreciatively and said: "Details determine success or failure. Don't underestimate the value and power of these details. It is from these details that we want to let the citizens of Hong Kong Island truly understand our The army is the people's army, and it is all the army that starts from the country and the people."
"We must pay attention to this and take other measures to overcome this problem!" Song Jinping said loudly. At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Lin Yu with gratitude, and decided to hold a meeting to discuss and analyze these issues after returning. A proper solution must be found. It should not affect the normal operations of the army, but also try not to disturb the people.
In order to pay full attention to this issue. Song Jinping even took out a small notebook from his newspaper pocket and wrote the words "do not disturb the people" on it, but it seemed that he was not determined enough. Then he drew several circles heavily on the three words.
"Also, we must pay attention to military appearance and discipline." Lin Yu glanced at Song Jinping and said with some caution: "Today's citizens of Hong Kong Island do not know or cannot correctly understand the People's Liberation Army. The reason for this is more complicated, because Hong Kong Island has long been subject to The pressure of British rule and the long-term anti-mainland propaganda carried out by the communist forces in the media and ideology. They will not let go of distorting the image of the People's Liberation Army. Even in many film and television works of this period, the People's Liberation Army is used as a The negative image appears. Hong Kong people have received colonial education on Hong Kong Island since childhood. They do not understand the history of China and the growth process of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. They have not gone to the mainland to see with their own eyes the achievements of the motherland's reform and opening up in recent years. They only watch it from Hong Kong Island TV I saw some blurry shots of the People¡¯s Liberation Army that had a distorted image. Coupled with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, I felt strange to the People¡¯s Liberation Army and even looked at us with suspicion.¡±
"Because of this, our troops stationed in Hong Kong represent the image of our People's Liberation Army and are a window for them to understand our People's Liberation Army and the mainland. Military appearance and discipline must not be compromised. Even more attention and strict requirements are required than the domestic troops. ."
Before the troops stationed in Hong Kong entered Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Island Media conducted a survey asking citizens to tell where the headquarters of the People's Liberation Army Garrison in Hong Kong should be located. As a result, more than 80% of people thought it should be in the "New Territories". PleasePay attention to the subtext of this investigation: At that time, the headquarters of the British Army in Hong Kong was in the heart of Hong Kong Island-Central. The location of the headquarters "selected" by citizens for the People's Liberation Army in Hong Kong contains a considerable degree of distrust and even fear. Many citizens are worried that the garrison has poor military discipline and will become an emperor after coming to Hong Kong Island, engaging in prostitution and gambling. We are even worried that the People's Liberation Army, like the US military stationed around the world, will cause many scandals such as rape and drunkenness.
It can be said that when I heard the chief said that the army would be stationed, the sky above Victoria Harbor was full of fear, confusion, and well-intentioned doubts.
"Whoever dares to smear the face of our People's Liberation Army, even though I have retired, I still shot him to death!" Mr. Lin stared at him and slammed the table. Great momentum.
At this moment, he was like a statue that had existed since ancient times, staring motionlessly at Song Jinping in front of him, his eyes almost ferocious, as if Song Jinping was this heinous person.
Song Jinping was so frightened by the old man's actions that the corner of his mouth trembled slightly.
The old man¡¯s power had already left a very deep impression on him. Thinking back on that time, facing the old man's anger, who didn't tremble with fear, remain silent, and look pale, as if the end was coming?
Song Jinping quickly stood up and said: "Old chief, please don't worry. I, Song Jinping, am here to express my position. If the garrison in Hong Kong is embarrassed and discredited on Hong Kong Island, you don't need to criticize me. I, Song Jinping, will be the first to take the blame and resign!" His tone was very firm and resolute, and it was obvious that he really took this matter to heart.
Mr. Lin nodded with emotion, then lowered his voice and said: "Jinping, we can't be careless about this matter. You must know that we insist on garrisoning troops. We are so determined. We don't know how many people are waiting. Use a magnifying glass or even a microscope to find trouble! Therefore, there is no small matter for the troops stationed in Hong Kong, and we must not relax our vigilance at all times."
"Jinping will definitely remember the old leader's teachings!" Song Jinping responded loudly.
Seeing that Song Jinping had indeed attracted great attention on this matter, Mr. Lin smiled and scolded Lin Yu again: "You Xiaoyu, if you have any good ideas, speak them out freely, don't hide them, like It¡¯s like squeezing out toothpaste, and it¡¯s not pleasant at all.¡±
¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing. If we want to have more, we must try our best to maintain a good relationship with the media on Hong Kong Island, appropriately increase some positive exposure, and conduct more interactions with the citizens, so that the citizens of Hong Kong Island can better understand and Get to know our troops stationed in Hong Kong." Lin Yu scratched his head and smiled after hearing this.
In fact, he didn't have many more unique insights. He just recalled the problems that had occurred and encountered by the Hong Kong garrison in his previous life, and then summarized and sorted them out. It was also a warning to Song Jinping in advance. To avoid taking another detour.
"News media?" Song Jinping also had a headache after hearing this.
Hong Kong Island is originally a place of freedom of speech. Unlike in China, the news media accepts the guidance and supervision of the government. In their view, as long as it has news value, as long as it can attract readers' attention, whether it is true or false, whether it is exaggerated or not, everything will be made public, and they will even go to great lengths to dig out news topics. . The paparazzi on Hong Kong Island are also world-famous. With their extremely keen sense of smell and vision, as well as their unimaginable perseverance and persistence, they can always get a variety of news topics and then make a big deal about them. , causing the Hong Kong Island government to often suffer from headaches.
There is no doubt that the garrison on Hong Kong Island will definitely attract great attention from the Hong Kong Island media. A trivial matter can become big news that shocks the whole city.
"Then what should we do?" Song Jinping rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but ask Lin Yu for advice.
"Instead of them secretly writing some out-of-context and not very objective reports, it's better to invite them to visit and interview openly." Lin Yu said with a smile: "Since they need news points, we will give them news points."
Having said this, Lin Yu felt his mouth was a little dry, after all he had said so much. But now that we¡¯ve already talked about it, we might as well explain it a little more thoroughly.
He took a sip of water and continued: "Uncle Song, I feel that since the citizens of Hong Kong Island do not understand our troops and are even worried about them, we should create more contacts with the citizens. For example, we can hold barracks open days regularly and invite Citizens of Hong Kong Island visit the military camp, allowing them to see with their own eyes the life and training of our troops stationed in Hong Kong, dispelling their wariness and misunderstandings about the troops, understanding the superb military quality of our people's army, and gaining confidence in the stability of Hong Kong Island.
