The Yuezhou health system's inspection team to Hong Kong has finally been formed.
The members include Zhang Hongbo, the deputy commissioner in charge of science, education, culture and health in the region, and his wife, Ye Youxin, the director of the Finance Bureau, and his wife. From the Health Bureau, came Mao Yangping, the director, and his wife, and Zhu Jihong, the deputy director.
The fourth hospital's president, Gu Wei; the vice president, Sun Jianshe; the first hospital's president, Wang Mengqi. In addition, there are self-funded members Chen Xia, Gu's mother, Gu Lin, Chen Qiu, and Chen Dong.
Everyone wore new uniforms: men wore white shirts and navy blue trousers, and women wore white shirts and navy blue long skirts.
Very uniform, very... rustic...
The tour was led by Li Mu, a tour guide from Yuezhou International Travel. Although he was called a tour guide, Chen Xia always thought of the "China Dragon Group".
Everyone starts from Lin'an, takes a train to Yangcheng, then takes a train from Yangcheng to Shenzhen, and crosses the border at Luohu Port.
The one-way trip alone takes a long 5 days. Why not take a plane? I just can’t afford it.
Along the way, Chen Xia, as a subordinate and the youngest cadre, naturally flattered him relentlessly, offering him everything from fruit and melon seeds to braised meat and roasted chicken, and even white and yellow wine.
Even when several senior leaders were short of foreign currency, Chen Xia exchanged some for them, but he actually lost money on the exchange rate, which made him very distressed.
But if you want to do something in China, it is absolutely impossible to succeed without connections and backing, so this kind of emotional investment is necessary and inevitable.
Chen Xia is not a saint and does not follow the saintly route. He will still flatter when it is time to do so.
Whether he wants to start a pharmaceutical factory or get promoted in the hospital one day, the opportunities are in the hands of several leaders in the health system.
Of course, everything he did was effective and worthwhile. After a few days, several cadres, both big and small, including Deputy Commissioner Zhang, were very fond of Chen Xia. With the presence of Dean Gu, everyone got along very well.
Although Gu Lin is a young lady who doesn't care about anything, her mother still understands the power of nepotism, so for the sake of her son-in-law, she gets along well with these wives of officials.
In addition, Chen Xia would bring fruits and drinks from time to time, and provide attentive service like Sandezi, so several old ladies also fell in love with this youngest cadre in the health system.
Chen Xia not only had to serve others, but also had to observe the newly established Shenzhen Special Zone at that time.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is just starting out. Shenzhen is still in ruins and the city is not very big. There are bungalows and low houses everywhere. It does not have the grandeur of the special economic zones in later generations.
Now, only Chen Xia in the world knows what kind of miracle this land created decades later. It even surpassed Hong Kong in GDP, a truly remarkable achievement.
But decades later, Shenzhen was working hard to develop its economy, while Hong Kong was constantly committing suicide and making trouble, and the gap between the two sides gradually widened.
But tragically, Shenzhen did not seem to have learned the lesson of Hong Kong and began to slowly learn to make real estate a pillar industry. Industrial hollowing out gradually emerged, and a well-known technology company even moved out of Shenzhen.
This really requires those in power to reflect carefully on whether to learn from Hong Kong's bubble or continue to follow the path of industry and technology being king.
After passing the Luohu Port, we set foot on the land of Hong Kong for the first time. Everyone's listless expressions were swept away, and we felt like we were about to see another world.
It turned out to be different from what they had imagined. After passing Luohu, it still looked like a big rural village.
"Is that the case with Xiangjiang?"
This is what Gu Lin quietly asked Chen Xia. Chen Dong said with a bitter face: "If I had known that Xiangjiang was a big rural village, I might as well have gone back to Qingfeng Village to play with other children."
At this time, the tour guide Li Mu took everyone to a minibus. The tour guide and driver who came to pick up the group were from Hong Kong.
After the car drove for an hour, the city of Hong Kong gradually appeared in front of everyone. Just look at everyone's mouths to understand what surprise meant.
The tour guide from Hong Kong is called Wangzai. This is what he calls himself. Chen Xia almost laughed out loud when he heard it, thinking of the Taiwanese advertisement in the future, "Wangwang~~~"
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Gu Lin's chest...
Wangzai often deals with mainland tour groups and knows what these mainlanders want to see, so he deliberately takes everyone to the most prosperous streets in Hong Kong, from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island.
The dozens of-story buildings outside the car window, the double-decker buses, the modern girls on both sides of the street, the colorful signs, and even the underwater tunnel caused bursts of exclamations from the crowd.
Even an old man like Dean Gu, who is usually very calm, was not calm at this time. He felt that his eyes were not enough to see.
Chen Dong and Chen Qiu just clung to the window and didn't move. I guess their worldview was completely destroyed at that moment.
Only after coming out did I realize how backward my country is, only after coming out did I realize what prosperity and advancement mean, and only after coming out did I realize how ridiculous it is to be a frog in a well.
Wangzai saw the expressions of everyone in the minibus. Although they were smiling on the surface, they were very contemptuous in their hearts. Mainlanders are just so ignorant.
However, he was surprised to find that two of them did not seem to be surprised at all, and one of the young men even seemed to have a look of disdain on his face.
One of them is of course Deputy Commissioner Zhang. As the main leader of a region, it is not uncommon for him to visit abroad, so he is not surprised.
The other one is Chen Xia.
Chen Xia would be surprised by the prosperity of Hong Kong? Are you kidding?
Comparing horizontally, Hong Kong was indeed prosperous at that time. But comparing vertically, how can Hong Kong in the early 1980s compare with the Shanghai, Capital, and Shenzhen stock markets in 2020?
Don’t forget that Hong Kong is not just about the prosperity of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, there are also urban villages like Kowloon City and large rural areas like the New Territories.
Chen Xia doesn't like Hong Kong people. He thinks they are a bunch of people who are poor and can only live by relying on their past achievements and then being sucked dry by a group of real estate developers.
Later, it was surpassed by the other three Asian tigers, and even by the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, which they looked down upon.
It is still 1982. What stars are there in Hong Kong at that time?
Has Chen Xia's lifelong love, Li Lizhen, made her debut yet? She's only 16 now, right? Wow, she looks so young.
Wangzai was a little confused as to whether the young man sitting at the back was mentally ill. He was sometimes dazed and sometimes drooling. He was such a loser.
The minibus took the Yuezhou expedition team on a tour of the main urban area and then took everyone to a hotel in Kowloon.
Chen Qiu and Gu Lin share a room, and Chen Dong and Chen Xia share a room.
