Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Jiahui, who is familiar with most of the routes, likes to choose the bamboo frame of the outdoor stairs when walking down from the roof, and walk all the way down from the high roof, so that he can feel the last rare sunshine.

When he walked down, it happened that the uniformed police who entered the city to patrol and maintain law and order were patrolling for the last time of the day.

It’s just that for some reason, the police and the neighbor got into a quarrel today. He Bo, one of the directors of the neighborhood welfare association, persuaded and persuaded, but still failed to calm down the confrontation between the two sides.

Jiahui is now the new postman, and when he asked people in the Walled City, he naturally knew everything: Someone heard from outside that the Xiangjiang government was going to make an appointment with the relevant departments on the mainland to discuss future plans for the Walled City. disposal.

As soon as the news spread, there was an explosion in the walled city.

Especially those old people who are afraid that the home they have lived in for decades will be "arranged" and pat the table at the nursing home one after another, saying that they want to repeat the protests 20 years ago.

When the people were in panic, they saw the uniformed policemen entering the city to patrol, of course, they were extremely jealous like enemies meeting each other.

"We never gave up on you guys! It's because you didn't cooperate and even caused trouble for us!" Jiahui stood in the crowd and saw a young policeman named Weizai with red eyes, " If you really don't care, will me, my senior brother and the others appear here?!"

It is said that in 76, the Walled City was officially stationed in uniformed police patrolling, but in fact, in those years earlier, it was not that no plainclothes police ventured in.

Otherwise, relying solely on the voluntary organization of neighbors, it is impossible for associations to encroach.

"Tsk, that sounds nice. You come here to patrol, partly because of yourself!" The anti-corruption storm only started in the early 70s. Before that, plainclothes secretly entered the city to maintain balance and order, and it was also to restrain each other with the community. Complicity.

Even a newcomer who once had passion and ambition will eventually be assimilated by this dirty environment.

And decent people in this world are always at the bottom of the society who can't quarrel with each other and are hard to communicate with. Seeing that Wei Zi, who couldn't quarrel with them, was taken away by his boss Li Sir, the neighbors finally quieted down and looked at the two in silence. The figure walked out of the dark city.

"Okay, let's go, there's nothing to see." Uncle He waved his hands to greet the neighbors to go back to their homes.

After finally evacuating the crowd, Uncle He found Yunji who had been watching coldly in the corner: "Yunji, a machine in my fish egg factory is broken, please come and have a look?"

In fact, most of the factories in the Walled City are earthen workshops with simple technology. In the early years, food processing factories such as fish egg factories were rampant in the Walled City. There was once a Walled City that supplied 70% of the food in Hong Kong. % The splendor of fish eggs.

Nowadays, the outside world has already changed with each passing day. Those old machines and factory workshops, just like this walled city and the people who can’t get out of the city, have become the growth of the changing times, relying on recruiting unwanted child labor and old people to work live, and then sell the goods for money at a lower price than the market price.

Jiahui remembered that Uncle Ho was a well-known good old man in this district. In addition to often donating money to support the warmth-giving plan of the Neighborhood Welfare Association, his fish egg factory also supported many elderly people and children who lived in hardship.

It's a pity that good people don't get rewarded, and my wife died long ago. When my only daughter was studying abroad, she met a scumbag who disliked her from the city. She died of depression not long after giving birth, leaving Uncle He in vain. The father acted as a mother and raised the grandson to grow up, so that people in their early fifties looked older than people in their 60s in the walled city.

He Bo is one of the few customers in this area who can settle their wages on the spot. Yun Ji didn't say much, and followed him to the fish egg factory after picking up the toolbox.

Seeing Jiahui standing here when she was leaving, she also nodded her head slightly to say hello: Electrician and postman are two professions that can basically travel around the inside of the Walled City, but they have different emphasis and differences because of the job content. Jiahui used the information he had sorted out to exchange information with Yunji.

As an electrician, Yunji can go deep into the household and search for it, but because of his personality and background, he is not welcome by some people; and the postman can generously travel to every corner of the walled city, and people generally don't pay attention to it.

Therefore, Jiahui exchanged information with Yunji for information about the internal layout of the households that he could hardly detect by finding out which households were still messing with wires and stealing electricity.

Therefore, Yunji has become more and more unpopular recently: She used the excuse of stealing electricity and messing up wires as a safety hazard, and forced those households to accept her business of changing wires, otherwise she would not work.

This kind of behavior of squeezing a small number of people for the benefit of the majority is naturally understandable if the popularity is good.

It's a pity that Yunji's popularity in the city is not very good. On the surface, everyone condemned and ordered those families to accept Yunji's change of line, but in private they talked a lot.

Jiahui walked home with the postman's big brown satchel, and after his figure gradually disappeared into the dark alleyway, the scene switched to the police station again.

The little policeman Wai Jai, who felt that he was being treated as a donkey because of his good intentions, sat on the chair aggrievedly, listening to the instruction of his boss Li Sir: "I know that you first became a policeman in the Walled City, so you want to make some achievements. But now that the limelight is on fire, you'd better keep a low profile..."

After educating Wei Tsai earnestly, Li Sir sighed: "I also know why you chose to follow me, but the Walled City is very dangerous, and it's not something newcomers like you can rashly challenge."

"You're tired. In the past few days, I've granted you a holiday. Take a good rest—don't think too much, I don't want to see you become the second Ah Qiang."

Hearing this name, Wei Zi trembled and his lips moved, but in the end he didn't speak any more.

Following Wei Zai's actions, the screen switched to a small modern room. Compared with the messy and backwardness of the urban-rural junction in the Walled City, this small room with simple layout is stunned. It looks a lot more fashionable and high-end.

Wei Tsai stroked a photo frame in his hand, flashing back to his mind the memory of his elder brother Ah Qiang playing with him when he was young.

This short memory plot with a memory filter added does not even require the effort of finding young actors-because Chen Boyang, who played the guest role of A Qiang, and Liang Shaowei, who played the role of Wei Zai, are quite similar in appearance and temperament, so they filmed "Pounding" back then. In "Ran Xinxin", Liang Shaowei played the role of Chen Boyang in his childhood, and left a lot of play clips.

After Su Yun rummaged through the system's material library, cut and spelled it out, this all-real-life, real-shot memory plot came into being.

And this last photo of Ah Qiang is a snapshot of the new employees' induction celebration of Hongfa Real Estate Company: A Qiang became a senior brother of Xinzha after graduating from the school. Not long after, he was arranged by Li Sir to conduct an undercover operation. As an accountant for Fa Real Estate, investigate Hongfa Real Estate's accounting problems and those shady transaction records.

Regrettably, when Aqiang collected enough evidence to defeat Hongfa, he was suddenly betrayed by his friends. Not only did the books of evidence he finally collected disappear, but he even sacrificed his life.

The reason why Wei Tsai also chose to enter the school after graduation, and took the initiative to apply for the job of patrolling the city wall, a job that others are unwilling to take over, is also to investigate the case of his brother Ah Qiang back then—why Ah Qiang was silenced, in the final analysis In the end, it is very likely that it lies in the "disappeared" account book records.

Earlier, on the cover of an old notebook at home, Wai Jai found some traces of handwriting.

After processing, he got the information Aqiang left behind: the "disappeared" account book was hidden somewhere in the walled city.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely avenge you!" Wei Zai looked at the photo and said through gritted teeth.

At this time, the camera took a close-up of the photo he was holding - A Qiang, who played a guest role of Chen Boyang, was smiling brightly, and he was holding a young man with glasses and a beard who looked like an artist. Among the new employees, people have the best relationship. Even taking a photo is to hug the head, neck, shoulders and back.

The photo was suddenly wiped with a hand.

"It seems that he really doesn't recognize me." Ah Rong, who was wiping the photo with his hand, raised his head, and clicked Jiahui, who only showed half of his face in the lower left corner of the photo, "But when we joined the job together, he was indeed The most withdrawn one, only thinking about working hard, but in the end he was tricked by the world."

"You look like this now, if you are not very familiar, who would recognize you?" Yun Ji, who was sitting in front of the old desk, put down his pen.

"I can't help it. At that time, in order to look like a scholar who had read a lot of books, the designers in those newspapers and magazines all had beards and glasses..." Ah Rong spread his hands.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I'll go out and take a look." Yun Ji sorted out the more detailed hand-drawn map after exchanging information, got up and picked up the toolbox.

"I've been looking for it for so long. We've looked for both places where we can see the light and where we can't. If it were so easy to find, Ah Qiang wouldn't..." Ah Rong paused for a moment before saying in a low voice, " sorry."

"You chose to do this at the beginning, so now, I don't want to comment on your behavior." Yun Ji's originally calm voice became a little colder, "However, I will definitely find out the account books—otherwise , Ah Qiang’s sacrifice was in vain.”

"It's not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself so much..." Ah Rong lowered his eyes, "Fundamentally, it's enough for me to stay here alone to investigate."

"This is what I should do." There was a complicated dullness in his voice.

"But it's a pity, you did what you should and shouldn't do back then, and now you put on this atonement, who do you want to show it to?" Yun Ji sneered, "What's more, I stayed here, never Not because of you."

"I heard that Hongfa Real Estate is planning to acquire land in the Walled City... I really want to see what kind of expressions those people who were desperate to save back then would have when they were cornered by Hongfa." Yun Ji closed his eyes, and his tone of voice was filled with the joy of revenge.

When her father died accidentally at Hongfa's construction site, her mother swallowed a bottle of detergent in despair when she failed to ask for pensions, and poured it down on the wooden bed at home.

At that time, when she was still young, she was left unattended, and most of her face was burned by a small fire in the walled city. Fortunately, her uncle and aunt were kind, and they rushed to take her to the hospital for treatment and adopted her. For book teaching to take care of adults.

However, when she was in college, her uncle had a dispute with Hongfa Real Estate Company over the demolition of the tenement building where she lived, and was beaten to death by members of the club secretly invited by Hongfa. It's been a full half a year.

In the end, my aunt kept apologizing to her before she died, saying that she had hurt her, and told her not to pursue the matter any more, so as not to cause trouble to her upper body.

In fact, she has never regretted taking a break from school to take care of her aunt, and she doesn't feel that her aunt needs to apologize for this, but unfortunately, God cannot see her efforts, and still wants to take away her last relative.

Afterwards, she, who accepted the inheritance from her uncle's family, finally walked out of the shadows, but was ridiculed by the world because of the scars on her face.

Even if her boyfriend Ah Qiang doesn't dislike her, looking at the ugly scars on her face, she herself dislikes herself.

I went around and found a doctor for treatment, but I met a quack doctor who swindled money. Not only did the scars not decrease, but they were made more hideous by the inferior medicine, and they were festered and infected because of it. Book, need surgery as soon as possible.

If Ah Qiang hadn't raised the surgery fee for her, she wouldn't be alive today.

As Yunji's voice fell, the camera slowly shifted to the wall of the alleyway, and those large black and white stickers advocating the mainland's opposition to the demolition of the walled city shifted time and space in the light and shadow.

In the picture with the memory filter, there was this scene 20 years ago: In the less crowded and dark city, people put up stickers opposing the demolition of the city, and there are protesting signs hanging everywhere. Slogans and brightly colored red flags.

Due to the legacy of history, the Walled City, which is said to be a place where the three parties do not care, but is actually a three-party struggle, is an "enclave" of China.

In layman's terms, it is the last part of the land reserved by the Qing court in the colony of Xiangjiang, which belonged to the Qing court; the mainland, Taiwan, and the British wanted to control each other, but they couldn't persuade the other two parties. It can keep the Walled City until modern times.

In order to compete with the current British administration, the residents of the Walled City have always claimed to be Chinese citizens in the Chinese territory. Not only will they hang the iconic red flag in the Walled City, but there is even a spontaneously organized citizen representative assembly in the Walled City. ...

As soon as this flag, which cannot be underestimated, is hung, the buildings in Dongchengzhai are equivalent to the flag of Donghuaxia.

In that way, the Walled City won the confrontation back then, and now history is repeating itself again. When both political and business parties end at the same time, everyone may have an idea of ​​what the outcome will be.

But those who once fought for their homeland still staged the joint struggle of that year again.

"This is simply nonsense!" Wei Zai, who pretended to be visiting a cheap dentist in the Walled City in plain clothes, became anxious when he saw the content of the thing posted on the wall.

This is no longer the era of wrestling with each other. For the sake of a modern image, everyone outside is now looking forward to the demolition of the Walled City—thus, it is no longer the "good" time for the two sides to compete and the Walled City will benefit .

This kind of trouble will only deepen the determination and urgency of people outside to demolish and rebuild.

Wei Tsai angrily tore off the stickers on the wall all the way, and before he knew it, he gradually came to the east side where the clubs gathered in the Walled City business district in the middle of this place.

The noise from the nearby Kai Tak Airport is getting louder and louder—soon, another plane will fly over the Walled City.

As for those people and things that cannot be seen in the city wall, in addition to quietly throwing them at the dog meat stalls at night, they use the huge roar of the plane passing over the city wall to cover up the things that should not appear in the land here. gunshots.

At the moment when the huge roar came, Wei Zai saw the reason why that person could no longer get up when a person fell down, and looked over with extremely unkind eyes.

He has shot many targets in the school, and his grades are very good. Whether it is practical exercises or theoretical knowledge, he is No.1 among the students in the same period.

But when he found that Tokarev, commonly known as the "big black star", was aiming at him, he... inevitably felt a kind of extreme fear of losing strength.

Li Sir is right, the Walled City is very dangerous, not something newcomers like him can rashly challenge...

When the huge roar was about to go away, Wei Zai, who was sitting on the ground with all his strength, closed his eyes with extremely complicated emotions——

The expected pain did not strike.

He opened his eyes in horror and disbelief, only to see a tall figure carrying a large brown satchel standing in front of him: "Xiong, Brother Xiong, right? I have a letter from you..."

In a daze, he seemed to see his elder brother who hadn't left him back then.
