Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1483 White-Eyed Wolf

Although that incident was driven by foreign forces, there were also some other reasons that were not entirely clear.

Han Li cannot do anything big as he is a nobody, but he feels that since he has come to this era, he must do something to live up to himself. Even if it is just a tiny change, it is enough to prove that his life has not been lived in vain.

Han Li made up his mind, and after some consideration, he truthfully described the current situation he saw in Hong Kong.

Han Li first laughed and complained about Xiang Jiang's frustration, but he knew what to say and what not to say.

Therefore, Han Li mainly talked about the housing area conversion method at this point, and did not mention a word about the food not being to his taste.

Han Li could even eat England's dark ingredients without any expression, and he did so for a whole year. Not to mention the elders present who had come from even harder times.

Therefore, whether in the eyes of Han Li's generation or Zhu Lao's generation, being able to fill their stomachs is the happiest thing, and taste and flavor are secondary matters.

Even though they have started to focus on maintaining their health and pay attention to food ingredients based on the doctor's advice, it does not mean that they can forget the difficulties they faced in the past.

Therefore, it is best not to bring up topics such as food taste in the last ten years or so, or in front of these two generations.

After Han Li complained about the high cost of housing and renting, and the area conversion formula, he began to talk about what he saw and heard in Hong Kong.

However, these words were also the result of Han Li's repeated thinking, and he spoke them from an angle that best suited his own cognition, temperament, and tone, and in a tone of hatred for the other party's lack of struggle.

“In Hong Kong, there are bright lights, revelry and extravagance, but there are more people struggling to make ends meet.

Rich people spend money lavishly, live in mansions, drive luxury cars, ride on yachts, have beauties everywhere, have hordes of servants at home, and live a life of luxury that is unimaginable to ordinary people, with everything provided for them.

Poor people have to do hard labor, eat the cheapest food, and live in rooms that look like pigeon cages.

Han Li kept silent here, looking as if he had said something wrong and was at a loss. When Old Liu saw this, he pointed at him and smiled.

“Everyone knows about these topics. There is nothing we can do about it, and it is not something that can be changed in a short period of time. However, we firmly believe that this day will come.

You can talk about topics like this that are not conducive to harmony in front of a few of us, but don't mention it outside or in front of others.

Hurry up and continue telling us about the situation in Hong Kong, you are going to drive us crazy in the middle of the conversation."

After listening to what Mr. Liu said, Han Li scratched his head awkwardly and continued.

"What I'm going to talk about next is the thinking of Hong Kong people. During the years of British rule, they have become very close to the way foreigners think. They value profit above all else, and most people will do anything for money.

It is not surprising that Hong Kong people have become like this. After all, Marx once said this in Capital.

The nature of capital is to pursue profits. When the profits reach 100%, some people dare to take risks.

When profits reached 200 percent, they dared to risk the guillotine.

Once the profit reaches 300%, they will trample on all the laws of the world. None of the above is important. What I feel most serious is the ungrateful heart of Hong Kong people now.

This is not simply regional discrimination, but ungrateful behavior of cursing one's mother after eating and cursing the cook after putting down one's chopsticks.

More than 20 years ago, there was a water shortage in Xiangjiang, and the lives of local residents were in danger.

The only water sources in Hong Kong are all occupied by the English. They can leisurely enjoy afternoon tea and take a comfortable and refreshing bath. Only after all the needs of these foreigners are met will they choose to open the gates to release water for a short while.

However, whether you can get water depends entirely on your luck. For this reason, every day there were people at the water receiving points in Hong Kong who never saw their families again because of the fight for water. At that time, there was a folk song circulating in Hong Kong.

[The moonlight shines on the Xiangjiang River. There is no water in the mountain ponds and no food in the fields. My brother carries water but no one hears. My sister carries water and my mother goes to the temple. I don’t know when the water shortage will end.]

When our Z·Z·L learned about this, he said that 95% of the people in Hong Kong are our compatriots, and he personally approved the Dong·Shen water supply project.

We were penniless at that time. In order to ensure their livelihood, we invested more than 38 million yuan at the beginning, and the various long-term maintenance costs in the later stage were not included.

At that time, we didn't have any heavy machinery, and the entire project was done by people carrying things on their shoulders and carrying loads through the mountains. Only then was this lifeline built for the people of Hong Kong, which completely solved the water use problem for the locals and freed them from worries about water.

Not to mention that we have tightened our belts over the years to provide Hong Kong with a variety of high-quality ingredients.

However, there are few people in Hong Kong who say good things about us now. They are full of contempt for us in their behavior, words and actions.

The people of Hong Kong at this time had already forgotten the days when they were captured by foreigners and forced to do hard labor, and had to carry lanterns even when taking their children out at night, otherwise they would be arrested by the police, fined, and beaten with a cane.

Most of them now regard England as their master in their hearts and have forgotten where their roots are. What's even more ridiculous is that many people in Hong Kong are now worried about the days after the concession expires.

Especially recently, with the news of the negotiations, this situation has become more and more popular in Hong Kong, and there are even some. "

Han Li stopped here, and his words caused the elders to ponder.

Mr. Zhu knew that Hong Kong could not be taken back by force at present. What he said just now was just the most basic deduction of a possible war by a soldier who had gone through the war years.

However, the silence did not last long. Old Liu coughed lightly and then spoke.

"Your study of humanities and social sciences is really worthwhile. I originally thought you chose to study this just to be a lazy person.

I never thought that you would know so much about Hong Kong's present and past in less than half a year. But what do you think about Hong Kong's current situation?"

Since Han Li dared to say so, he had already prepared a draft in his mind. Besides, he didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing in front of Old Liu, so when Old Liu finished speaking, he pondered for a while and tried to speak.

"It's difficult to completely eliminate this kind of thing, but there are ways to gradually change some people's minds and reduce the impact to a certain extent."
