Hong Kong in Classical Prose (2)

Chapter IV of Hong Kong in Classic Prose: Hong Kong Shawan Trail Dormitory is on a hillside overlooking the South China Sea in China. Every evening, the sunset meets you on the balcony on time. It's just that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sunshine is getting weaker every day. In October of the solar calendar, the grapefruit that was originally exposed in the market looks wrinkled, and the sun sets earlier. At 5: 30 pm, the sun over the South China Sea was dizzy like ink because of the mist. The sun is like a freshly peeled egg yolk, suspended in the air; Through visual inspection, I feel that it is about the height of two Casuarina plants from the sea surface; Casuarina equisetifolia in shanhaijing.

There are thin ripples on the sea surface, and the water waves are swaying, like thousands of transparent metal sheets flowing with the wind in Qian Qian. Sunlight generously illuminates a waterway, and gold dust swings out. First it is as bright as gold in a silver house, and then it turns into a pale blush when it is blown, reminding you of the apple blossoms in Europe in early April. In your trance, a ship glided to the center of crimson light and shadow.

Hong Kong under Classic Prose Part V: Rouge Button

On sundays, most of them are off. Some shops that don't rest are slightly half open, and old people of unknown age are fanning folding fans and gossiping. There is a brush on the wall, which is used to write the name of the goods in this shop. I have no idea what Zhu Po monkey jujube powder, Tsinghua Yugui, bear bile, Laoshan amber, Zheng Longxian incense, Arrow Furnace Musk, male and female rhinoceros horn, Jinshan Niuhuang and Pearl Borneolum.

The first month of the Spring Festival is the busiest time for big dramas and gongs and drums, and large, medium and small troupes are busy performing. If even this bustling festival is ignored, follow the example of Master Guanyin sitting on the lotus (the Year of Lotus), then it is really that Master Huaguang will not enjoy the food, so it is better to return to the shore as soon as possible.

Twelve Shao is just a new small role in Uncle Hua's team. Sometimes even just stepping on the carpet during the day shift. In the Taiping Grand Theatre, it seems much better than the shed made of iron shelves outside.

Yes, the tide has gone out. By 1935, the Hong Kong government strictly prohibited prostitution, and the romantic life in Shitang was over. Two or three years after Ruhua's death, the whole of shek tong tsui became a mass of smoke. Who knows the cause and effect? It's like she's dead, and everything is gone.

Hong Kong in Classic Prose 6: Floating Hong Kong

Many Hong Kong people have English names, especially the staff in multi-ethnic organizations. These Helen or Tom are in Hong Kong, where the land is as precious as gold. If you don't have an ancestral old house and tens of millions of family members, you can only get into this small apartment, live quietly and carefully all day, and enjoy miniature happiness and freedom in the space close to your neighbors and family. Perhaps it is for this reason that people are good at singing big plays in snail shells, and their fine style is world-famous. Here, even a dilapidated street is often renovated and cleaned as clean as new. Even a bowl of cheap car noodles or boat rice is always delicious and affordable. Even an unimportant document will be regarded as a major event by the secretary, who will carefully print, check, bind, fold, bag and seal ..... All actions will be meticulous and step by step, until the last hand moves forward, such as submitting solemn credentials.

Because of this, Hong Kong lacks land and has the highest population density, high-rise building density and car density in the world, but it is still a paradise that many people miss. Helen and Tom, that is, Jane and Ashong, can carve out a powerful modern service industry, a once powerful modern manufacturing industry, all kinds of neatness, convenience, richness, dignity and a sense of life satisfaction with nutritious soup even in a small place in their own genealogy. Undoubtedly, all kinds of skilled craftsmen came into being and have always been trusted by outsiders. Sometimes, without relying on high cost and advanced equipment, they can build impeccable brand-name products with the tenacious advantages of specialty and craft tradition-this is always in stark contrast to the common sloppy, sloppy and lacking three or four in some places in the mainland.

Some shopping malls called Mall also have Hong Kong style. They are a huge maze, a bit like a combination of traditional arcades and modern supermarkets. They integrate shops, hotels, cinemas, streets, stations, schools, institutions and parks. They are intrigued, intertwined, extending in all directions, turning around, so that newcomers are always confused. They seem to have compressed the whole city into an incubator and turned it into a colorful collection. So if people don't pay attention, they will have the illusion of getting on the subway in hotels, studying in shops and buying leather shoes in the government. Think about it, who would have thought of this space-time compression technology? This architectural culture of public and private, elegance and vulgarity, five flavors and eight treasures, mutual integration between industries, and the disappearance of the boundary between day and night and seasons is an architectural spectacle that saves land, materials, facilitates people and promotes sales. Can there be other examples in other places?

Generations of immigrants come here to work hard, fast-forward 24 with DVD players, run around in the vast sea of people, socialize, work or spend money, and even the phone call to greet their mothers may be Allegro, even if they have a cup of milk tea or take a picture of the scenery, it may be a state of emergency. "What do you do?" "What else do you do?" "What else do you do?" ..... Familiar people often ask questions when they meet, and they don't believe that the other party has no part-time job or has a part-time job, and that time is not money. Obviously, this busy and crowded society needs management, and the almost fanatical profit-seeking crowd needs all kinds of rules, otherwise it will be a mess. The British at the end of the nineteenth century must have seen this. They are faced with noisy and dark colonies on both sides of Victoria Harbour, and Hong Kong, which is short of land, water, energy and dreams. They won't show much democracy, but they must implement the rule of law. They regard Hong Kong as a bankrupt company. The establishment of rules and regulations, harsh punishment and distinct grades, and prohibition under the banner of Mizi, have become the most needed and successful transplantation of British culture in Hong Kong. "The government advises citizens not to encourage begging!" This kind of warning sign full of Protestant colors was also introduced into the streets of Hong Kong from Europe.
