Wake up（265）

 

Chapter 47

265

 

Accompanied by Hong Wenxuan, several days passed unknowingly after Shen Zhirui arrived in Hong Kong. Hong Wenxuan decided to accompany Shen Zhirui to Hong Kong.

The average life expectancy of women in Hong Kong is more than 87 years old, and that of men is more than 81 years old. Hong Kong is the longest-lived region in the world, at least it is one of the longest-lived countries and regions on the planet. There is no doubt that it is also well understood that Hong Kong is a place on earth that is especially suitable for the elderly to live and live in. Therefore, age is not an obstacle to come to Hong Kong to play or even settle down.

In fact, in Hong Kong, people in their 70s are not particularly old. In the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, there are many old people in their 70s and 80s who are still very energetic. Whether Hong Kong is suitable for the elderly to come and see does not depend on age, but mainly depends on health status.

Hong Wenxuan said to Shen Zhirui, you and I are both old men in their seventies, but in Hong Kong,

There are also elderly people over the age of 70 who still go to work normally, such as drivers.

Hong Wenxuan smiled and said to Shen Zhirui, we don't accept old age, but we must also admit that we are old. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend you to go to HKU or foodie favorites. As we get older, we no longer need to teach, and we no longer have much interest in the things that young people like to eat, not to mention the so-called food that is rich in sugar, salt, oil, and cholesterol is no longer suitable for us old people. .

There are many leisure places for the elderly in Hong Kong. For example, Mong Kok, where there are many people, you can go for a walk when the streets are full of lights, if you are hungry, just take it to a good tea restaurant or a high-end restaurant for dinner. There is also Tsim Sha Tsui, which has a unique scenery. You can walk along the Avenue of Stars or the Promenade by the sea. If you are hungry, go to Harbor City or a restaurant with a sea view in the sky to eat.

There is a Victoria Peak here. In fact, the purpose of people going up the mountain is to go shopping at the Peak Plaza, which is a place for leisure and entertainment to enjoy the scenery of Victoria Harbour. You can take the cable car up and down. You can also take a taxi. If you go to Saigon City, the seaside leisure place here, you can take a boat to the surrounding sea, beaches, small islands and other places. Lamma Island and Cheung Chau Island are very interesting and relaxing. If you love seafood, you can have dinner here.

Hong Wenxuan told Shen Zhirui that there is Po Lin Monastery and the largest bronze sitting Buddha in Asia in Ngong Ping, Lantau Island. Jin Yong, the greatest martial arts novelist in modern China, is buried here.

Hong Wenxuan finally decided to accompany Shen Zhirui to take a cruise ship in Victoria Harbor where he can watch the light show. The two old professors sat on the boat and visited the scenery and seascape of Hong Kong city. It was so cool.

     There are many elderly tourists on the Victoria Harbor cruise ship.

     An old man in a nearby seat was talking about Xi Jinping's inspection trip to the eastern theater.

An old man said: Xi Jinping said "If you can't win, you have to fight." Regardless of whether the mainland army can fight or not, Taiwan must seriously prepare. With Prigogine's case in front of him, coupled with his distrust of others, I think Xi Jinping has no courage to use troops now.

Another old man said: The CCP has always been "what is lacking, what is shouting", and if the army "dare to fight", it means that the army "dare not to fight"! In fact, it is not surprising that an army that has never fought outside for decades, pampered and dedicated to scaring its own people, and crushing students with tanks, has encountered the truly experienced US military on the earth, and its weapon technology is poor. For several generations, going to the front line is not fighting but suicide! In addition, Japan in the established Pacific Treaty Organization was once a ruthless player in provoking World War II. South Korea is an important exporter of cutting-edge weapons and has prepared for North Korea for many years. India has an urgent need to protect water sources and needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Countries in Southeast Asia have disputes in the South China Sea and cannot stay out of it, while Taiwan is facing the crisis of national annihilation. It is only natural for the PLA to face so many enemies who are united as one, so it is natural not to dare to fight. Returning the spear and attacking Zhongnanhai made an indelible achievement", how can a statue not be worried?

One of the old people said: You mentioned "Sending Death to a Foreign Land", which reminded me of the movie I watched not long after I arrived in Hong Kong, which was the Taiwanese movie "Exotic Land" released in 1990. Adapted from a war novel. It was the highest-grossing domestic film of the year. At the beginning of January 2022, the interface of "Exotic Land" on Douban disappeared.

Another old man said, I have seen this movie. The plot of the story tells that after the second civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, the national army in mainland China was almost wiped out. Only a unit led by Li Guohui broke through the encirclement and was exiled in a foreign land. He wanted to return to his hometown but encountered obstacles everywhere. Feeling at a loss as if being isolated, they became "an army trapped in a foreign land, but isolated and helpless". There are also reviews that the main reason for the defeat is not the ineffectiveness of the army, but political corruption and criticism of the international situation. I think it's an anti-war movie. The whole stage is to go to the mountains behind the Neihu Lake and Thailand to shoot scenes, creating a scene similar to the local situation in Myanmar.

The three old people began to recall the plot of the movie:

On October 1, 1949, the Communist Party of China established the People's Republic of China, but a small part of the 93rd Division of the remnant army of the Republic of China is still stationed in Yunnan. However, the CCP felt the thorn in its back, and dispatched Chen Geng to lead the 38th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to pursue them continuously. While escaping, Deng Kebao saw compatriots around him keep falling down, and even the mother of his friend Xiao Du died while escaping. For this reason, Xiao Du chose to leave the army and joined the local caravan when he was sad.

Later, Deng Kebao took his wife Zhengfen and a pair of children An Guo and An Dai to flee with the army. It was not until they escaped from the border of China and entered the border of Myanmar that they had a little chance to breathe and began to settle down on the spot. However, due to lack of medical care, Deng Kebao's daughter, An Dai, suffered mental impairment due to persistent fever, which made him deeply blame himself.

However, the Burmese government was very dissatisfied with how they settled here, and dispatched troops several times to carry out military strikes, but failed repeatedly. One day, the Burmese army launched a fierce attack, which made the battle situation precarious, and the whole army was in danger of being defeated. At this time, Xiao Du suddenly joined his caravan companions to help fight the enemy, and he was killed for this. After returning home, Deng Kebao learned that his son Anguo died because he climbed up a tree to watch, but because the branch was bombed by shells, he fell down the tree and died.

In the end, Deng Kebao, in extreme despair of the ROC government in Taiwan, took his wife and daughter away from the plane that was supposed to take them to Taiwan, and returned to accompany his son who was buried here...

The three old men were silent.

After Hong Wenxuan and Shen Zhirui looked at each other, Hong Wenxuan asked the three old people: "Can I watch the movie "Foreign Land" now?"

One of the old men was about 70 years old. He glanced at Hong Wenxuan and said, "Are you two from the mainland? You can't see it in the mainland, but you can watch it in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is no longer broadcast. However, the Internet Available to view."

The old man said to Hong Wenxuan and Shen Zhirui: "My surname is Jiang, and I am a veteran of the Taiwan Kuomintang. Those two are my friends, Mr. Han and Mr. Song. They are both veterans of the Communist Army."

Hong Wenxuan said with a smile: "This is Mr. Shen. My surname is Hong. Both of us are 70-year-olds who have been teaching for life. I have settled in Hong Kong, and Mr. Shen is here for the first time."

Mr. Song smiled: "You two are literary, and the three of us are martial artists. I'm afraid we can't talk together."

Shen Zhirui said: "I'm laughing. There is no cognitive distinction between civil and military in this world. In traditional Chinese culture, there is a common belief in advocating civil and martial arts, and that is to defend the country. However, when you get old, you haven't really Find out, where is our country and home?"

Shen Zhirui's words suddenly narrowed the distance between him and the three old people who happened to be on a cruise ship in Victoria Harbour. The Victoria Harbor cruise ship paddled across the calm water, and the reflections of the brilliant lights on the water flickered together and scattered. The hearts of the elderly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Mainland, who are also Chinese, followed suit.
