The ancients always liked to use the phrase “each going one’s own way” when describing the separation of lovers.
According to this statement, Lin Huowang and Liu Rumeng are now indeed in the south and north, far away from each other.
Since ancient times, distance can be said to be a fatal killer of many relationships.
But on another level, if even such distance separation cannot dilute the feelings between you, it will only make the relationship between you even stronger than gold.
The forest fire was raging in the north, and he was not dazzled by the beautiful actress who came to his door.
Similarly, Liu Rumeng, who had just arrived in Hong Kong, was not confused by the materialistic life of Hong Kong.
In her eyes, the skyscrapers and various pleasures of capitalist society have nothing to do with her.
She came to Hong Kong Island for two reasons: one was to visit her mother, grandfather and other relatives, and the other was to hope to be cured of her illness in the hospital in Hong Kong Island.
I talked to my mother almost the entire night and fell asleep in the early morning.
When Liu Rumeng woke up again, it was already noon.
To be honest, she hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.
In the days since she left the Northeast, she dreamed of her Awang almost every night.
Then I woke up crying, and every time I woke up, my mother had already gone to work.
The feeling of loneliness as she was the only one left in the whole house made her miss Lin Huowang even more.
"Are you awake? Mengmeng. Wash up and have lunch soon!"
Mother Guo Linxian saw her daughter wake up and reminded her with a smile.
"Mom, don't you have to go to work today?"
Liu Rumeng asked doubtfully.
"Today is Sunday! I'll take a rest at home for a day, and then I'll go shopping with you in the afternoon!"
Guo Linxian was very satisfied with her daughter's performance in Hong Kong, which was even better than her own.
After all, when I first arrived in Hong Kong, I was dazzled by those skyscrapers and believed from the bottom of my heart that the development of capitalist society would be much better than that of socialism.
However, when she later explored and investigated from a more objective perspective and found out that behind these high-rise buildings and prosperous businesses were the exploited blood and sweat of so many ordinary people, Guo Linxian gained a deeper insight into capitalism in Hong Kong Island.
At this time, some nitpickers may come up and say something.
Even if Hong Kong is very capitalist and exploits the lower-class workers, it is still many times better off than those hungry farmers in your mainland.
Otherwise, would so many people risk their lives to escape to Hong Kong every year?
Guo Linxian has heard a lot of words like this in recent days.
Especially her two brothers, including their children, all spoke to her, a mainlander, with the condescending attitude of Hong Kong people, and their words were full of superiority.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this statement, and it even makes sense.
Anyway, looking at the facts and data, the per capita income of Hong Kong Island is more than ten times that of the mainland.
Farmers who might have starved to death in the mainland could immediately have enough food to eat and earn money with their own hard-working hands as long as they came to Hong Kong Island. They could even send the money back to the mainland to support their families.
From this point of view alone, Hong Kong Island is truly a paradise, much better than the mainland, and no one can refute it.
but……
This is not strong evidence that capitalism is superior to socialism, nor can it be used to prove that the mainland's policies and social system are backward.
Because such a comparison does not take into account the deep-seated historical reasons and the objective laws of development of things at all.
The mainland's area is several times that of Hong Kong Island, and its population is several times that of Hong Kong Island.
When the mainland was founded, it was surrounded by powerful enemies and was extremely poor.
In just less than 30 years, under the leadership of the Party, the people of the mainland overthrew the three mountains, and the people have completely become masters of their own destiny, sweeping all the decadent, feudal, reactionary, and oppressive things into the dustbin of history.
In fact, our country is the only country on this earth that has defeated all the powerful countries, and even powerful countries like the United States and the Soviet Union are helpless against us.
Just based on this point, can Hong Kong Island compare?
In other words, over the past few years, our country has been frantically laying the foundation and building the base from a poor and rough state.
Only by creating a stable external international environment and stabilizing the internal political structure and form can we begin to rapidly develop the economy and people's livelihood.
People living in this era seem to have their eyes blinded. They are only willing to see and believe what they want to believe, but they cannot see through history or the future.
instead……
After gaining an in-depth understanding of the people's livelihood in Hong Kong Island, Guo Linxian became more confident about the future of the motherland.
This is the difference between intellectuals. Some intellectuals, as soon as they see a little injustice and corruption, immediately cry out to the sky that China is doomed and how dark and desperate this society is.
However, the vast majority of our intellectuals who have confidence in our country are able to truly see the essence through the phenomenon, see our vibrant motherland, and see the backbone of our nation who are striving to rise.
…
During lunch, Mr. Guo generously handed Liu Rumeng a check for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The amount was not much for him, and it was far from making up for the lack of love and care for his grandson over the years.
However, Liu Rumeng didn't care about the number on it at all, and smiled and said: "Grandpa, I can't take your money. It's already a great trouble for you that my mother and I can live at home.
