Luo Chao yawned with his mouth wide open, opened the window to see that the weather outside was nice, and wondered whether he should go out again today to find some odd jobs. He didn't come from a good background. He grew up in a place like Temple Street. He had a lot of social habits, but he had a bright mind and was very good at reading. A few years ago, the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong was established and he was admitted. However, the scholarship he received was not enough and his family had no money, so he could only work part-time to earn living expenses.
Luo Chao¡¯s father is said to be a person in the film and television industry. In the 1960s and 1970s, he worked as a dragon and tiger martial artist under the Shaw Brothers. In addition to playing minions, robbers, etc., he also occasionally worked as a stuntman. Luo's father has always been bad, and his nutrition was not up to date when he was young, so he failed to practice kung fu and his boxing was all showy. Luo Chao is an exception. He has been a little bully since he was a child, causing trouble everywhere on the street, and forming gangs. He enjoys the "service" of a bunch of young boys, plus his father's professional income, although he is not considered pampered. But it looks very strong. In addition, Luo Chao is smart, has excellent bones, and is very fast in learning kung fu. Luo's father saw that his son had potential, so he used his connections to find friends and became a disciple of a famous teacher. Now Luo Chao is twenty-one years old, and he is just a kid here who usually practices martial arts. If you can't move past four or five moves, you will be beaten down.
Because there are too many younger brothers and sisters in the family, Luo Chao's finances were tight after he went to college. Although Luo Chao was a relatively mixed-race person, he was quite sensible and not involved in the underworld. He followed his father's old path and worked as a sandbag on the set in his spare time to earn living expenses.
Just as he was about to go out and go to a familiar tea restaurant to grab some leftover food from the guests for morning tea, Huang Hezhong, a classmate from his dormitory who came from a middle-class family, ran in excitedly and shouted to him: "Chao Zai, there is something wrong today. Go and see the excitement, there is a big parade in Central.¡±
Hong Kong is known as the "City of Protests" in the international community because it is a mixed immigrant society with a high level of development. Citizens like to pay attention to various things, from politics to social issues, environmental protection or sports. Anyway, as long as If there is any big thing, I am willing to take part in it. Moreover, many of the people participating in these activities cannot even explain the gist of the activities, but they are willing to walk around for a day holding signs in the face of the sun and wind. Demonstrations in Hong Kong are often more like extremely grand celebrations.
The reason is probably because after the territory was seized by the British, the colonial government was unwilling to give the locals the right to speak out, and liked to exploit and oppress Hong Kong residents, so Hong Kong people have a special sense of cherishing their right to speak out. Coupled with the influence of Western culture and the distortion of traditional Chinese official culture, Hong Kong people have gradually developed the habit of expressing their opinions on everything.
This characteristic is actually found in many places in the world, and without exception they are all in relatively small areas. The reason is simply that the horizon is relatively small and the limitations are large.
Of course, not all Hong Kong people like to parade on the streets. Luo Chao has a strong self-care style of the bottom Hong Kong people. He curled his lips and said: "It's boring, don't stop me from making money."
Huang Hezhong was not angry either. He laughed and said, "Making money? I guess not. It is said that many industries have closed down to participate in demonstrations and rallies. If you go to the studio, you will probably only see locks."
Luo Chao cursed: "It hurts your lungs, can't you live a good life?"
Then he became curious and asked: "Why are you going to the parade? Is there any big deal?"
Huang Hezhong pulled out a newspaper from the dormitory table and said: "Don't you even read the newspaper? The Nanyang Chinese Liberation Organization has completely wiped out the Gui Lao's fleet. The founding of the Chinese nation in Malaya is a foregone conclusion. This can be regarded as our Chinese support for It¡¯s Gui Lao¡¯s first victory. Today¡¯s parade is a victory parade, it¡¯s a celebration.¡±
Luo Chao shook his head repeatedly and shook his two fingers: "First, Hong Kong people were not Chinese until 1997, and strictly speaking we were the defeated party; second, the victory of the Chinese over the ghosts, In the 19th century, during the Sino-French War, the Qing government defeated the French and caused the French government to collapse. It just had no guts and was defeated. And the most important thing is that you people are all the governor-general government. Is it Maitreya Buddha? If you try to pick up the scar like this, you might cause trouble."
Huang Zhonghe¡¯s family has a leftist background, so he naturally considers himself Chinese, but Luo Chao is the type who doesn¡¯t care whether he is Chinese or British. Huang Zhonghe said without hesitation: "The ghosts have lost, what else can they do? There are at least 100,000 people taking to the streets today, how dare they risk the disapproval of the world? Let's go, let's go together. I'll treat you after the parade." drink wine"
As soon as Luo Chao heard this, the alcohol bug popped up in his stomach. This guy started tasting alcohol at the age of three. He is a pure alcoholic. Once he hears alcohol, he can do anything. In fact, there are many Hong Kong people in later generations who are like him. They can walk around the streets for a whole morning with some small favors. It is not necessarily true that they really support the theme of the rally.
Huang Zhonghe dragged Luo Chao to gather with a group of students from the school outside the school gate. Luo Chao roughly counted the number and found that there were hundreds of people, men and women wearing all kinds of clothes. Some students prepared banners with slogans such as "Celebrate the great victory of Southern Liberation" and "Long live the Chinese liberation movement." Many people were holding three small flags. Luo Chao only recognized the five-star red flag in the north, but not the other two.
??"The red and white star flame flag is the flag of the Southern Liberation Army. It is said that it will become the national flag after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the future, and the Bauhinia flag will be the regional flag of the future Hong Kong Special Administrative Region." Huang Zhonghe explained to Luo Chao.
Luo Chao laughed and said: "The flag of Hong Kong? It's much prettier than the British flag of Hong Kong. It's just red and has a five-pointed star. I'm afraid others won't know that Hong Kong belongs to China."
Huang Zhonghe doesn¡¯t compete with him. He knows that Luo Chao is such a talkative guy, but he doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions.
Luo Chao tugged on Huang Zhonghe's sleeves, pointed at the group of students from his school, and said, "When did our school become a leftist camp?"
Hong Kong has a very traditional leftist soil. Famous leftist schools such as Xiangdao Middle School and Pei Qiao Middle School are even known as local pro-communist forces with strong roots. At that time, these leftist schools almost launched the Cultural Revolution along with mainland China, and also launched the June 7th riots that were controversial in later generations.
Huang Zhonghe smiled and answered him: "I can't be considered a leftist. Many people are just like you and are just joining in the fun. They think it's great to see the British devils being defeated. In addition, in the past two years, the mainland has been determined to reform and has made a lot of progress in many aspects, especially in The international status has improved a lot, and the mainland is more respected. The mainland is also very concerned about promoting itself in Hong Kong Island, and news media such as Shaw Brothers have also followed suit, so some students feel that the image of the mainland has become much more positive.
Huang Zhonghe is a very smart young man who sees problems thoroughly. What he says is basically true. Regarding the penetration of Hong Kong, there is Qi Yiming's handiwork. For example, a large number of Hong Kong industrialists are pro-mainland. For example, Hong Kong entertainment giant and later philanthropic tycoon Shaw Brothers are also willing to open the door to the mainland. Traditional pro-mainland print media such as Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po began to be owned by Qi Yiming, a mainland giant, a year ago. They have incorporated many later newspaper running models and invited many powerful editors and writers, gradually catching up with Oriental Daily. , Sing Bao and other newspapers and periodicals, incidentally, continue to instill positive news from the mainland into the local area.
Before Qi Yiming gained mind control, he knew how to use other means to influence other people's thinking and ideologies. In fact, as Yuri said, it is actually quite easy to change people's hearts. In addition, although Hong Kong still had doubts about the North at this time, it was not generally repulsive. It was not like the sudden turmoil that later caused anti-China plots in almost everyone in Hong Kong.
The student parade of City Polytechnic held a simple assembly, and some Chinese faculty and staff also joined the procession. Luo Chao, Huang Zhonghe and others followed the procession and began to march towards Central, where the parade was gathered. Along the way, more and more small teams joined their team, and even some passers-by A and B also joined in the fun. Some people have simple nationalism or patriotic complex, while others are really just soy sauce. But in the treasure land of Hong Kong, soy sauce making is also a very popular and popular sport.
Luo Chao was stuffed with a big flag by Huang Zhonghe. Because he was tall and strong, he was probably the only one who could carry the four- to five-meter-high flagpole. Luo Chao thought to himself that it was probably the shrewd guy like Huang Zhonghe who lacked him. It was coolies who pulled him over. But as long as he had wine to drink, Luo Chao didn't care about it with his roommates.
There were more and more people in the team. Luo Chao could naturally feel the growing team and crowd, which were constantly exaggerating and enhancing the atmosphere. Even he could feel that the blood seemed to be boiling constantly, and he subconsciously held the hand in his hand. The five-star red flag was raised higher. The waving temperament and not neat slogans attracted more people to join, and the parade team grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Neither the Federation of Students nor the Federation of Trade Unions that organized the parade seemed to have expected such a grand event, but the parade staff responsible for coordinating the parade did their best to sort out the parade. They originally estimated that there would be about 50,000 participants in the parade. , but now the 100,000 people have already exceeded it, and are even approaching the 200,000 mark.
This also put considerable pressure on the organizers, because the participants in the chaotic march were a mixed bag, and there may also be radicals. The British Hong Kong government sent a large number of police to maintain order, and it was difficult to ensure that any conflicts would break out between the overly excited crowd and the police.
"Long live Nanjie"
"Long live Hong Kong"
"Long live the Chinese nation"
The team was like a long queue with no end in sight, and the excited shouts of the people shook this originally aloof and indifferent city, as if it wanted to get to know the people living here again. In the eyes of enthusiasts, the Southern Liberation Army is a just organization that fights for the freedom and liberation of the Chinese ethnic group, and for racial equality and fair rights. However, the just organization has achieved a just victory, and it has faced a situation that many Hong Kong people do not like very much. of foreign rulers.
For the people of Hong Kong, the British at this time are like the Malays in Malaysia. They are greedy and shameless, unjust and will eventually fail. Britain has been dethroned by the Southern Liberation Army. If Malaya is recovered, Hong Kong will surely be recovered in the future.
