At the beginning of March, during lunch time on weekdays, I had lunch with my second son in Harbor City. The Western Restaurant of the Prince Hotel gets half of the guests. I remember that during the plague, my children and I had a packed lunch here.
After dinner, Zai Youzai went back to work, and I walked from the end of Harbor City to the Ocean Terminal and the open-air parking lot to pick up the car. Passing by a super city takeout shop, the takeout counters on the kitchen windows range from more than 50 yuan to nearly 100 yuan worth of food, forcing people to queue up to buy takeout. Walk slowly, walk slowly, I usually see a lot of people waiting for a table at the restaurant, Mei Zhong Duck, no one queues, Xiaoqiang gossip, go into the duck shop and patrol around, 70% of the customers are received. When passing by other restaurants, not even at noon on weekdays, I saw that the waiters were busy non-stop. As I walked to the parking space, my mind kept thinking, office buildings and business lunch customers go there at noon, and they don’t need to eat.
Driving my car all the way on the highway towards Kwai Chung, the answer finally emerged from my thinking. Most of the office buildings in Harbor City should be for the middle and upper classes. They cannot enjoy public housing or live in low-rent housing. . They cannot afford to buy a variety of houses, such as Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) and HOS flats, so they have suffered the most from the crazy increase in interest rates in recent years. They have no money and no mood to spend.
I stopped the car on the highway and drove all the way and thought about it. I thought about a month ago, one day, my lover said. The grandma of the isolation house was waiting for the elevator at the door. When she met her, she told her that living in our building, between the upstairs and downstairs, including the grandma’s family, everyone is either a dragon or a tiger, and if not, they are all phoenixes. , so if you are not a doctor, you are a lawyer, accountant, or architect. Our building is a hidden dragon, crouching tiger, and phoenix. I remember that when we were buying a house, we checked the latest transaction price of the property online. In 2021, the property transaction was a little over 1,300 square feet and nearly 30 million. What kind of teachers, what majors, what kind of middle and upper class, these dragons, tigers and phoenixes, they are the biggest today. If you buy a house in the past 10 years, your mortgage loan will increase from over 1% to 6% each. The mortgage payment was tens of thousands per month, but it changed to tens of thousands in minutes. In order to save money, I paid for the house. In the past 10 years, interest rates have been low. Usually, the middle class helps lunch with Mizi, and business lunches in hotels have changed to buying two square meters of rice or takeout from the supermarket, and then go back to the company or clinic to dig out lunch boxes.
The worst thing is for dentists. In the past, many dentists treated accidents in mainland China. Over time, domestic medical technology has allowed some doctors to surpass the abilities of some dentists in Hong Kong. Because people who are poor are ambitious, motivated and have fighting spirit. Don’t you see it? In online advertisements, a large number of dental surgery prices are clearly listed, including high-end machinery and equipment. In fact, if you have money, you will have the latest and most advanced equipment. I often visit the Prince’s Super Delicious Cardamom Nianhua Dessert Shop. The boss lady told me that she would be closed for a week and go to the Mainland to have my teeth straightened and pay for the tooth repair expenses. Then I would live happily in Hong Kong. My heart is bleeding. I have helped you so much, but you don’t do my business. I have no mung bean paste and no sugar cakes to eat for a week. You will earn the money of Hong Kong people and move it to the Greater Bay Area to peel off your teeth. .
About a year ago, I wrote in this column that when the civil unrest in Hong Kong was calmed down, when gangsters were put in jail, the society was quiet, and the people were stable. We in Hong Kong, we Hong Kong people, have to compete with domestic cities. Hong Kong people must have healthy competition with their compatriots in domestic cities. The interests of the Communist Party of China understand the nature of human beings. Only through competition can we make progress. The Communist Party has evolved to the point where cities must compete with other cities and provinces with each other, so that the country can build its capabilities and compete with the US empire for international voice, so that Taiwan independence can end its work, and Taiwan can return to the embrace of the motherland.
In Hong Kong today, the worst situation is for the middle class. Prices of goods supplied to Hong Kong from the mainland are stable, but property prices have soared in the past 10 years. The middle class has no right to apply for government rental housing, and no share of Home Ownership Scheme housing. Sandwich houses have to be calculated to see if they have excess income. , employees of my company, I want to increase their salary, because they have to queue up to go upstairs, so don’t give it to me. I would rather be a worker who applies for government low-rent housing. So I have been working hard, studying, taking exams, and constantly climbing up the professional middle class. My lifelong dream is to buy a thousand-square-foot mansion, but today has become the hardest. The middle-class housing supply has caused the market business to weaken, and naturally, the market is in decline.
I have been delivering newspapers for decades. During the New Year and Easter holidays, I will deliver a large number of newspapers to the airport in Luohu, the Hong Kong and Macau piers, and the bookstores at various entry-exit checkpoints. Recently, media websites reported that the Easter holiday has caused a large number of citizens to leave Hong Kong, which has caused the business in the Hong Kong market to be deserted and Hong Kong shops to be struggling. Even the Wenhui Ta Kung Pao has a big headline: When doing business in Hong Kong, we should not compete with the mainland, but should use and develop our own advantages. I don’t agree with that. Recently, the number one force in our market is liangshan rice, which is a good example. It costs 35 yuan for liang of rice and 45 yuan for two clean rice dishes. When business is good enough to afford expensive rent, plant your flag in a prosperous area.
We did not invent the two-star restaurant, but Hong Kong people know how to carry it forward. We Hong Kong people are good at things, and we know how to create a second time to carry forward the two-star restaurant. Therefore, we Hong Kong people must reform and change, and we must be like our parents. , the spirit of Hong Kong when we were barefoot, go ahead and fight, strive, carry forward the greatness of Hong Kong again, and stop relying on grandpa or anyone for charity. This is the spirit of the Lion Rock Hong Kong people.
First of all, we need to improve the service. We don’t want customers. If we ask for 1 pound of longan, we will give you two pounds. I insisted on 1 pound, so I looked at it with a black face. I want 1 pomegranate, so I have to buy 3 pounds. Brother, I am constipated, and I hate eating pomegranates. If I buy 3 pounds of pomegranates, I will eat them to death. I took a taxi to get out of the city from the airport. I asked my brother to help me because I was driving slowly. The taxi boss told me that I was not even over 110 meters, so I was not speeding or making any noise. Brother, you have been driving a taxi for at least 10 years in less than 20 years. I am surprised that you are driving an old and disabled car. The metal is tired and it is exposed to the sun while walking. I was sitting on the airport expressway.
I dare not write too much because I was so frightened that I went out on the street and was beheaded by Hong Kong people. Now, we really have to do our part well. When the gap between China and Hong Kong is slowly narrowed, the problem will gradually shrink, and then there will not be so many complaints. Let’s talk about the Internet media. Now when compatriots from the Mainland visit Hong Kong, they spend money on tea. A cup of milk tea and a fresh pineapple bun. The two of them eat together and the bill is less than 40 yuan. That is, each person uses Twenty skins. When the online media talked about stores, they disliked Chinese compatriots for settling in Hong Kong and refused to spend money. I immediately thought that the salary income of Chinese compatriots is not half of that of Hong Kong people. When I see that the price of goods in Hong Kong is generally 30% in your country, how dare they use it randomly? Come on, after visiting Hong Kong and returning to the mainland, I will spend every day with my stomach tied. In fact, when compatriots from China came to Hong Kong in the past, they didn’t really travel. In fact, most of them came to Hong Kong to buy Rolexes, cosmetics, medicines, bags, even wool, and they all bought them back and sold them. They came to do business. , and we have truly come to travel, because those businessmen no longer come to Hong Kong to buy goods. They go to Hong Kong to buy Rolexes from Japan, go to Hong Kong to buy medicines in many places, and wait in line to buy bags in Paris. Hong Kong is much more peaceful than Hong Kong. Many places are even more peaceful than Hong Kong. In the past, the Communist Party only opened up Hong Kong to the compatriots. Now it wants to open it up to the whole world and allows compatriots to travel abroad. We cannot be independent of Hong Kong forever. The reason is that it will be criticized by governments around the world. Ah, when it comes to buying famous brands, even in the Mainland, Hainan Island and domestic parallel imports, it is better than buying in Hong Kong. Today, Hong Kong people must recognize the facts clearly, be themselves, enhance their competitiveness, and face challenges for themselves and their families.

I don’t know how many years I have to buy my own tickets to watch movies. I have no interest in watching Hong Kong movies, except before the Enlightenment period, the beginning of chaos, sneaking in when I was five or six years old, Mongkok World, The Good World, Victory, and Nam Hwa. Cinemas, etc., take a peek at Zhang Huoyou, Grandma Bai Yan, who warned the world about human ethics and taught people to be kind, and Ba Jin, the great author of the Spring and Autumn Period. Such adaptations preached anti-feudalism and opposed the shackles of the old family. It is an unforgettable inheritance of New China to this day. , opposes feudalism, promotes family ties, expresses good deeds, and inherits benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
I don’t know how many decades have passed since then. I haven’t watched any Hong Kong movies. Of course, Bruce Lee also followed the trend and watched only one film, Brother Tangshan. I couldn’t watch half an hour of Stephen Chow’s movie that satirized Southeast Asia, so I had no interest in watching it. I once thought to myself that everyone loves Xing Ge’s comedies, but I disagree. I once asked myself why I didn’t like watching Xing Ge’s movies because I couldn’t stand Xing Ge’s movies.
After the plague left, my wife actually broke my habit of not liking Hong Kong movies. In the past month or so, I watched three Hong Kong movies with her.
The first movie Goldfinger was set in the 1970s. It was brought out that year. Hong Kong people just stayed close to the mule boy and had a little spare money. They took a few hundred yuan to fly and went to the Philippines with Carnegie Travel Agency to eat Luzon mangos. The trend is to hire taxis with high wages, plus Jianing Taxi, hire a driver to travel around Manila. The refugees who fled the civil war in the south and suffered a lot, but have just settled down in Hong Kong and have a little savings, are shocked. They can use a few hundred yuan to fly to the Philippines for vacation and invest more heavily in the taxi industry. Kaijianing Taxi drivers, you can follow the guidance of Carnegie Travel Agency, Philippine Luxury Travel Agency, Carnegie Group, which started the trend of the 1970s. How could its stocks not be speculated? How could it not be on the streets back then? The stockholders are dead. So for a movie, the whole theater is full. This scene is full of Hollywood elements, and every minute it follows the rhythm of the moviegoers. There is no dull moment, and it is tight and exciting. Everyone controls the movie, and it goes by so fast for more than two hours. But after watching it, although Feihong was walking in the snow, the snow on his head melted away very quickly, leaving no mark and remaining in the montage forever.
The second set of movies features lyrics by famous names L. Receive funding from the Hong Kong government. Only then can you become a talented person. This movie only contains the vulgar words commonly used by today’s young people, but not many, and it was officially rated as 2B by movie reviewers. My husband and I cannot take our daughter Cen Zhen, who has just turned 13, to watch and study together. In the film, the scene is complete. In order to achieve success, the heroine dreams of writing lyrics, but is knocked down and knocked down. She dreams of writing lyrics countless times, but she is never defeated. In the end, the dream of leaving the hospital is all left blank. My beloved told me that this was the dream of the director of this film. She filmed her own dream since she was a child. As I walked, I kept thinking, this lyricist director is really amazing. Young directors nowadays are so amazing. There are such creative and perseverant new filmmakers emerging in Hong Kong. They realized that the rhythm and atmosphere of Hollywood business kept the audience transfixed until they left the show. More importantly, they grasp the nobility of human beings, praise their goodness, their morality, and persist in pursuing themselves until they never give up. She failed to write the lyrics, but she showed up in the movie world and made the audience who followed her understand the persistence of choosing the good, persevering in the goal, and never giving up. But when I left the show, my heart ached because there were not enough people in the entire theater, including the two of us. If this is an inspiring movie, students can be organized to go to the cinema to study. Cen Zhen will definitely not walk in class and go to the theater on time to study. I hope that the government will subsidize the film industry and provide theater tickets for students to learn from. As filmmakers, we can repay the money and let young people learn that filmmakers persist in producing positive films.
The third film, Rental, is starring veteran filmmaker Eric Tsang. Everything in this drama is a fabrication, and everything is a fabrication. Although I have been watching it for nearly seventy years, I have been writing and directing it for the director. I watched it all the way, and I burst into tears all the way. When I left the cinema, I felt sober. When I came here, I felt that the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was pointless to push it. Because I haven’t watched a Hong Kong movie for a long time. Now I realize that today, Hong Kong movie writers and directors are so great. They have evolved to the point where they don’t and shouldn’t give the audience time to think about the plot and scenes when watching a movie. , whether the combination is reasonable or not, it rises and falls, wave after wave, to stimulate the audience’s senses, leaving the audience speechless and timeless, making you unable to breathe, making you unable to think, only watching. After finishing the movie and leaving the cinema, you can wake up and recall the plot of the movie and the performance of the characters. This is to calculate the time and push the plot from the bottom of the mountain to the peak. The audience’s emotions are constantly surging, and the senses are constantly stimulating. This rental set for your family, In the dark and boring days, it can be regarded as a pass, a roller coaster of sensory stimulation, so that you can be stimulated and have fun that is worth the money.
In fact, I think that the highest level of montage in a movie is that after watching the movie, the image of the scene cannot be forgotten for the rest of your life. Even if you close your eyes, the scene will come out unconsciously. I watched the movie from the beginning. It is unforgettable today. There are four scene images. One is Dr. Qi Yage, the male protagonist of the doctor and the heroine who was separated during the war. After the war before the end of the play, he met her again at the tram station. The protagonist, the male protagonist chases forward, the tram carries the heroine and drives out, the male protagonist vigorously slaps the window, suddenly his heart is stimulated, and he faints. This scene is the end of the play. The rest is left blank, allowing the fans to imagine that Omar Sharif fell. The expression shocked movie fans around the world, and the Academy Award was within reach.
The second scene is produced by Japan. For a long time, the President Theater in Wan Chai exclusively screened Japanese literary films. I have forgotten the name of the film, but the scene is unforgettable. The young man was drunk and raped. The waiter was over 70 years old. Ying old woman. The waiter’s old lady reacted with a combination of shock and struggle, but when the camera turned, the expression on the old lady’s face turned out to be one of climax, enjoyment, and the peak of lust. Everyone in the world with a little common sense knows that from a physiological point of view, the old woman’s physiological desires, menopause after the age of fifty, the secretion of moisture will be reduced and will cease, sexual intercourse will only be painful, and there will be absolutely no pleasure or climax. But the Japanese, who ignored physiological knowledge, violated natural physiology, produced perverted plots and scenes, raped my brain, and made me uneasy throughout my life.
The third is a European movie. The police chief and his wife went out for dinner, leaving their 7-year-old daughter at home alone. How did they know that they would fight against her daughter? They moved the chief and shouted loudly, opened the window and used a loudspeaker to tell them that their parents had left home. She had no food and was so hungry that the whole community came to seek help for her.
The fourth scene was shown at the Nam Hwa Cinema, Railway Guerrillas, and the People’s Liberation Army boldly picked up their rifles, attacked the Japanese army, and won a great victory. I was inspired by that year and my Chinese soul and Chinese heart.
