1979 Golden Age

“…”

As soon as the question came out, everyone on the stage looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

The official accompanying staff was experienced and immediately picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Hong Kong's prosperity is obvious to all. It has developed rapidly to this level in the past 20 years, which is inseparable from the hard work of Hong Kong people. Now the relationship between the two places is increasingly strengthened. I hope there will be more cooperation in economy and trade."

The reporter below did not buy it and asked again: "Then what do you think is the reason for Hong Kong's current situation?"

"I just said that this is inseparable from the hard work of Hong Kong people."

"In addition to this?"

"Of course, there are also changes in the international environment, economic and trade opening, and Hong Kong has its own industrial base, which can strengthen export trade."

You don't look very old, when are you going to buy a house? ”

Just like the Dongshen Water Supply Project, 70%-80% of Hong Kong’s water consumption depends on it, but how many times has the media reported it? First, the Hong Kong British government prohibits the promotion of such content. Second, people feel that they have spent money, and the mainland should pay.

Huh?

He turned his head and saw that Chen Qi had picked up the microphone at some point, and said slowly: "After we checked into the hotel yesterday, I went out for a walk at night and wanted to eat something. I just walked into a small shop and saw that a bowl of noodles cost ten yuan, so I was scared and backed out.

Fortunately, the prices are still cheap. Youtiao costs four cents and weighs half a tael. Old hens cost 1.3 yuan per catty, and hairy crabs cost 70 cents per catty. It doesn’t cost much to see a doctor or go to school, but the housing is a bit worse... Oh, by the way! "

Puff!

The people on the stage all lowered their heads and covered their mouths, afraid of laughing out loud.

"I don't think a place that abolished the Qing Dynasty Law in the 1970s has modern civilization. You banned concubines only 9 years ago. I see that you are also a woman. You don't empathize with the disadvantaged, and you are complacent. I don't understand what's in your mind?"

He had long forgotten that he was asking about the system.

The official frowned. They have many opportunities to go out. Reporters outside especially like to ask political questions, such as floods and systems. When encountering such situations, they often say some correct clichés or interrupt.

"We paid for it. We have to pay for water! "The other party interrupted.

We are even worse off, with a simple environment and several people living in one room. Fortunately, we don't have to buy a house. The unit gives us a house and we just need to pay some rent. For example, my parents' house is about 200 square feet and they pay 2.5 yuan a month.

"Yes, yes, we have a low income and many children. Some families can only support five people with the income of the father alone. It is really not easy.

It was your Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and Hong Kong and Kowloon Trade Unions who jointly asked for help from the mainland. Under such difficult circumstances, we allocated 38 million to build the Dongshen Water Supply Project to bring water from the Dongjiang River for you to drink.

The reporter's face turned red and white. As the saying goes, the truth hurts the most! He really can't afford to buy a house. On the surface, he has a glamorous job as a reporter, but in fact he has to pay expensive rent every month.

"Oh? We can't drink clean water ourselves. We are short of water ourselves, and we also want to guarantee water supply to you. Why don't you spend money to buy it in the UK?

Also, there is a Wenjindu in Shenzhen, which specializes in supplying fresh agricultural products to Hong Kong. Farmers push carts and carry shoulder poles to deliver live chickens and ducks here for decades. Why don't you report it?

Including our conversation today, do you dare to publish it in the newspaper?"

Chen Qi's every word is bloody, piercing their hearts. But do they dare to publish these conversations today? No!

Chen Qi leaned forward and asked the reporter below: "I heard that your house price is 1,000 yuan per square foot (about 0.09 square meters), and a 400-square-foot house costs 300,000. According to the income standard you mentioned, I calculated that you would have to go without food and drink for 8 or 9 years to buy a house!

It's so awkward!

The reporter reacted for a second. Is this mainlander being sarcastic? He immediately retorted: "The average monthly income of a Hong Kong family is already 3,000 yuan. I heard that you only make a few dozen yuan a month? "

Fu Qi also had experience. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly interrupted him and said, "Hong Kong is indeed very prosperous. It really opened my eyes..."

A female reporter said, "Prices don't represent anything. This is an inevitable phenomenon when the economy prospers to a certain extent. We also have a modern civilization and system that matches it."

Li Lianjie, Yu Hai and others are very complicated. They often go out to perform. When they go abroad, they are all very cautious and have low self-esteem, fearing that they will leave a bad impression on international friends.

Xiong Xinxin was shaking all over on the stage and said a Guangxi swear word.

But when they saw the official's expression as if they had seen a ghost, they still put the event first and stood up to smooth things over: "Dear journalist friends, do you have any questions?"

Fu Qi had no scruples and laughed directly.

Chen Qi leaned back and crossed his legs: "This reporter, I don't know you, but there is a Chinese saying, pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to curse... It's about people like you! "

Chen Qi paused for a few seconds and then continued: "I heard that Hong Kong is short of fresh water resources. In the 1960s, there was a century-long drought. The British Hong Kong government restricted your water supply, supplying water once every four days for four hours each time. 3.5 million people in Hong Kong were in trouble and fought every day for water.

"Then don't you think there are also institutional factors?"

I just think that Hong Kong's material conditions are indeed rich and diverse, much better than ours. "

At that time, a large army of 10,000 people was formed, carrying on shoulders and overcoming various difficulties, and water was connected in one year..."

In mainland China, a bowl of plain noodles costs 8 cents, and adding vegetables and meat costs 20 cents. I really want to try what that bowl is called... Oh, mixed noodles!

Others were even more pale and collapsed in a minute.

"..."

"..."

"Hahaha!"

"What a madness!"

But they were short of money and couldn't afford it.

In this kind of situation, you don't have to answer questions. Don't follow the other party's rhythm, just do it directly.

So they were shocked by Chen Qi's scolding, and at the same time, a strange feeling emerged from their hearts: It's really fucking refreshing! Who is stupid, can't see that the Hong Kong media deliberately finds faults and discriminates against mainlanders? That's how they should be scolded!

For a while, a war of words!

After several exchanges, an older reporter stood up, looking quite experienced, and said calmly: "Mr. Chen has amazing eloquence, I admire you, but no matter how you talk, you can't avoid the reality.

Hong Kong is what it is today, it is the result of the efforts of all Hong Kong citizens, government support, international trade openness and other factors. Our economy is prosperous, society is progressive, and the system is advanced. This is an objective fact."

Xu Dunle also said: "This kid is good, no wonder you think so highly of him!"

But they are not the organizers, so it is not easy to take over, so they hinted at Fu Qi.

Ji Chunhua looked at Brother Qi with more affection.

Fu Qi almost clapped his hands, there are successors, there are successors!

When other tabloid reporters saw that the mainlander was too arrogant, they immediately shared the same hatred.

Quiet as a chicken.

Gong Xue stared at his profile intently, and suddenly felt proud of him. This stinky brother is usually not serious, but he has courage in his heart. Occasionally, he looks like a big man again.

Bang, bang, bang!

The reporter stepped back a few steps after being scolded, holding his chest, his face flushed. He might have some heart problems, and he was so angry that he was about to have a seizure. He pointed at the stage and wanted to fight back, but he couldn't say a word.

No one shouted or provoked anymore, but a few reporters couldn't stand such "humiliation" and left directly, but most of them stayed. How could "dignity" be more important than news?

"Okay, let's move on to the next step!"

"We specially invited two masters from Hong Kong Island to make friends through martial arts and learn from each other. Please welcome Master Liao and Master Luo!"
