Return to Singapore 1995

"Handsome! Can you help me?" The young woman showed a flattering smile.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiaofan asked strangely.

Li Xiaofan felt a little awkward as soon as the young woman sitting next to him got on the plane. At the end of March, it was still cold in the country, but she was wearing a miniskirt, which made her look thin and sexy. Her makeup was very thick, and the perfume on her body didn't smell good. I don't know what kind of off-brand it was.

The young woman raised a card in her hand: "Handsome man, can you fill out the immigration card for me?"

Li Xiaofan understood now. It turned out that he was asked to help fill out the Singapore immigration card. This immigration card had just been issued by the stewardess on the plane. At that time, Singapore's immigration cards were still written entirely in English.

"Okay, give it to me!"

"Thank you, handsome man!" The young woman happily handed the entry card to Li Xiaofan.

"Name?"

"Hu Yunli"

"age?"

"22 years old"

"place of birth?"

…

It felt like interrogating a prisoner. Later, Li Xiaofan simply asked for her passport.

"Here, fill it out!"

"Thank you so much!" After Hu Yunli took the entry card that Li Xiaofan filled out for her, she leaned closer and said, "Thank you, handsome man! Did you study in university in Singapore? You can actually read such a thick English book? Book……"

"No, I work in a factory in Singapore as a coolie!"

"Oh, just now I saw you were so polite and holding an English book to read, I thought you were studying at a university in Singapore! So, is it easy to make money working in Singapore?"

"It's not bad. If I can find a legitimate job in Singapore, it should be enough to support my family!"

Hu Yunli suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Handsome guy, have you been to the nightclub there?"

Li Xiaofan asked strangely: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"My friends over there said that nightclubs in Singapore are very profitable, so they asked me to go to nightclubs this time to make some extra money..."

When Hu Yunli was filling in the purpose of her trip to Singapore just now, she asked Li Xiaofan to fill in the form of travel. At this time, Li Xiaofan guessed the purpose of Hu Yunli's trip to Singapore. At that time, many domestic girls went to Singapore's bars and nightclubs to make money for a short period of time in the name of short-term travel. Some of them also went to Geylang Station Road to do skin care business.

"I'm not familiar with that place..." Li Xiaofan smiled.

Li Xiaofan wanted to continue resting, but Hu Yunli, the person next door, kept pestering him to inquire about the situation in Singapore.

He had to give her a general introduction to what he knew about Singapore.

At around 8pm, the plane arrived at Changi International Airport on time.

After Li Xiaofan left the country and picked up his luggage, he was stopped by Hu Yunli again in the lobby: "Handsome guy, I didn't find a friend to pick me up. Can you help me make a call?"

"Here, this is a ten-dollar prepaid phone card with a denomination of SGD. There should be a balance of seven or eight yuan in it. You can use this card to call your Singaporean friends using any of the shared phones here! This card will give you You!"

"Thank you so much, handsome guy, you are such a good person!"

"You're welcome, bye!"

…

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Xiaofan's taxi arrived at the terraced house next to Changi Beach Park.

"Girls, I'm back to pick up guests!"

Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen were lazily lying on the sofa in the living room watching the TV show "Talented Rookies". After hearing the sound, they quickly came out to help Li Xiaofan carry his luggage.

"Xiaofan, have you had dinner?" Guo Hanyue asked.

"Just a quick bite to eat on the plane..."

“Would you like some Sichuan noodles?”

"Okay, I seem to be really hungry! I miss your Sichuan noodles a little bit, so I can have some. I have brought you all the green mochi and soup dumplings from my hometown. You can try them together later!"

"What are green mochi and soup dumplings?" Liu Mengchen asked curiously.

Li Xiaofan explained: "They are our local specialty snacks. Qingmo Ci is a vegetarian glutinous rice snack, and the soup dumplings are meat..."

After putting away his luggage, and while Guo Hanyue was making noodles, Li Xiaofan went to the nearby 7-11 convenience store and bought a dozen TIGER cold beers.

"Girls, I bought the latest VCD player and many blockbuster movies when I returned to China this time. Do you want us to enjoy them together?"

"Of course, hurry up and pick it up! Watching this eighth channel every day is so boring!"

Liu Mengchen hurriedly helped connect the VCD player brought by Li Xiaofan to the TV.

At this time, Guo Hanyue's Sichuan noodles were also ready. Li Xiaofan heated the green mochi in a pot, boiled the soup dumplings, added some green onions, and made a delicious bowl of soup dumplings.

So, the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room, happily drinking beer, eating delicious soup dumplings, green mochi and Sichuan noodles, and enjoying VCD movie blockbusters.

Liu Mengchen selected one from the many films. The disc he put in was called "Basic Instinct" in English and "Instinct" in Chinese.

"Basic Instinct" is a love action suspense film starring the famous American actor Michael Douglas and the famous actress Sharon Stone. It tells a series of stories between detective Nick, played by Michael Douglas, who investigates a bizarre ice pick murder case, and writer Catherine, played by Sharon Stone, who is a major suspect. This movie was rated R(A) in Singapore at that time, which is an adult-restricted rating. When it was released in Singapore, many scenes were cut.

In Singapore, even "Red Rose and White Rose" is classified as R(A), probably because there is a scene of Ye Yuqing getting up from the toilet, without clothes, for only 0.1 seconds.

What Li Xiaofan brought over from China were original and unabridged pirated films.

The movie opens with Sharon Stone's naked and seductive body on the bed overlooking from the ceiling, and then the heroine kills someone in the climax... The beginning is amazing!

"Wow, Li Xiaofan, show us a Category III movie!" Liu Mengchen exclaimed.

"Oh shit, you chose this movie yourself. This blockbuster was released in Singapore last year. It's the same R(A) category as "Red Roses and White Roses". There are some very rare nudity scenes, so it shouldn't be Category III." , if a Category III film like Hong Kong’s is definitely not allowed to be released in Singapore…”

Guo Hanyue was very cheerful and said angrily: "Don't make a fuss, Mengchen, in our line of work, we have never seen such a kind of body!"

"Sister Yue, when you say this, I am speechless..."

"Li Xiaofan, what is R(A) rating? I often see movie advertisements in Lianhe Zaobao showing something PG for one moment and R(A) rating for another?" Liu Mengchen asked curiously.

Li Xiaofan briefly explained to them that back then, Singaporean movies were divided into three levels:

G rating: Movies suitable for general audiences

PG rating (parental guidance level): It is emphasized that parents must accompany the viewing. It may contain scenes that may not be suitable for children, such as kissing and violence, but this category provides parents with advice on whether the film's content is healthy. According to the Singapore Film Act, cinema operators are responsible for enforcing relevant legal provisions.

R (A) adult restricted rating (A stands for art film): a movie that is only shown to audiences over the age of 21 (including 21 years old). A movie with an obvious theme and good quality, in which the description of SEX love is the theme service, rather than pandering to vulgar taste; the film does not promote sex love, violence, or seek profit from these contents; the film has been well received by the industry and even has the hope of winning awards. The last time the three of them watched "Red Rose and White Rose" was rated R(A).
