Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 298 「298」 Concerned about the disaster area, the Five Star Group takes action!

In the footage of ATV News,

Constantly switching between various shots of disaster-stricken areas,
Cattle and sheep were washed away...

A dam was breached...

There is a village that has turned into a vast ocean of yellow...

The victims were on the roofs and trees...

Tents, various patients, and busy medical staff...

The army and the people were united, carrying sacks and fighting bloody battles...

The host's figure was seen along with these shots:

"The number of people affected in Ontario has exceeded 4800 million, accounting for nearly 70% of the province's total population, and 267 people have unfortunately died in the disaster."

"In the vast fields, more than 430 million hectares of crops were swallowed up by floods, more than 150 million houses collapsed, and more than 230 million were damaged..."

"In Jiangsu Province, the situation is also worrying. More than 4200 million people were affected, accounting for 62% of the province's population. 164 precious lives were lost and 300 million hectares of farmland were affected. "

The scene switches to the temporary tent area on the Huaihe River embankment...

"On this once fertile land, two million homeless disaster victims have set up endless temporary tents on the embankment of the Huai River. They are facing numerous difficulties in life."

"What is even more worrying is that due to the harsh environment, some victims have developed infectious diseases such as intestinal diseases and malaria, and a large number of destroyed roads, bridges and other infrastructure also need to be repaired urgently."

"Here, we call on the international community to lend a helping hand..."

……

at this time,

In a slightly crowded but cozy housing estate in Kwun Tong, under the yellow light, a family of four sat around a slightly old dining table.

There were a few simple home-cooked meals on the dining table, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of food.

At this time, the TV was broadcasting ATV News.

The scenes of the flood in East China were shown before them.

The son subconsciously looked at his father. He remembered correctly that his grandfather had brought him here from Jiangsu Province in the late 30s.

Uncle Chen watched TV with a frown on his face. He came to Hong Kong Island as a refugee when he was a child. Although his memory of his hometown is vague, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart when he heard about the disaster.

"I want to take some money and donate..."

His son, daughter, and wife paused for a moment.

When his son Xiaojie heard this, he looked at his father with wide eyes: "Dad, we... don't have any money, right? I'm almost out of my pocket money this month!"

Her daughter Xiaoli also immediately expressed her opposition: "Yes, I'm still thinking about buying a new mobile phone, how can I donate the money!" There was a bit of dissatisfaction and coquettishness in her words.

The two received Western education and don't understand so much.

clap~~~
Uncle Chen was so angry that he slammed the table with such force that the dishes on the table jumped up slightly.

"What do you know? This is a matter of life and death. Even though we are poor, we are not without any money!"

His voice trembled a little, and he was obviously angry at his children's words.

Xiao Jie stiffened his neck and said unconvincedly: "Dad, those people have nothing to do with us. If it was Hong Kong Island, I would accept it if they donated it. We don't know them, right?"

Xiaoli also agreed: "That's right."

"shit!"

Uncle Chen was so angry that he yelled, "You must not forget your roots. Don't think that just because you read those foreign books for a few years, you will forget where your blood came from."

Uncle Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "I don't want to donate a lot, I will donate 1000, which should be enough for my family in an emergency."

Xiaojie and Xiaoli were silent for a while: "Okay."

……

As the night deepens, a late-night snack stall located in Tsim Sha Tsui Food Street is brightly lit and bustling with people.

This is a microcosm of the city's nightlife and a place for people to release stress and communicate emotions.

In front of the stall, there are fried clams with black beans and peppers, grilled chicken wings with honey, fried rice noodles with beef, stir-fried vegetables, clay pot rice... all kinds of steaming hot food exude tempting aroma. People sit around together, enjoying the tranquility of the night and the comfort of delicious food.

The raging flood, the helpless eyes and the hardships of the rescue workers on the TV screen were like a sharp knife, gently cutting through this brief joy.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy. People put down their chopsticks and looked at the screen at the same time.

"Isn't this too tragic?"

"Yeah, it hurts just looking at it."

“I wonder how those affected are doing now?”

Each of the diners had a frown on their face, their eyes filled with sympathy and pity.

“I can donate some money to help them.”

A middle-aged man suddenly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it resonated with many people around him.

"Yes, how about I donate some money..."

At this time, someone snorted coldly.

"What kind of donations are we making? What do the people in those places have to do with us?"

Another person:

"Yes, if you ask me, I won't donate."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused dissatisfaction among many people.

"How can you say that? We are all Chinese, and the people in the disaster area are our brothers and sisters."

"We can't be indifferent just because we are far away."

"That's right, they are our compatriots!"

"My compatriots... tsk~~~ I only admit that I am British, that's none of my business."

"British? What's wrong with your black hair, yellow skin and black pupils? Silly!"

"Yes, haven't you read history books? We are all Chinese!"

There was an argument in the late-night snack stall. Some people supported the donation, thinking that we were all compatriots; some people opposed the donation, thinking that we were not of the same kind and that I was a superior British person. But as time went on, more and more people joined the ranks of supporting the donation.

Originally, there should have been many citizens who did not empathize with the victims in the disaster area, because they had always been educated in the British system and did not have a strong sense of domestic identity.

Even in later generations, people from Hong Kong often look down on people from the mainland and say that they are not Chinese.

Guan Zu has seen a video on Douyin, where a driver from Kowloon picked up a mainland female passenger and said all kinds of things. The mainland female passenger also cursed, "You are not Chinese? Who are you?" "I am from Kowloon." "Who are people from Kowloon? Aren't they still in China?"

Now, after Guan Zujiang's five large-scale "Knowledge Cup" "Millionaire", a large amount of Chinese historical knowledge has been popularized, allowing many Hong Kong people to feel the former glory of the great China, the only civilization that has been passed down unchanged for 5 years, and the only land with many of the world's first civilizations.

It is precisely because of this glorious history that the citizens gradually developed a sense of identity with their own bloodline.

At this moment, the images in the flood news immediately resonated with everyone's feelings of brotherhood.

……

The same scene happened all over Hong Kong.

From the dining tables of thousands of households to the bustling nightclubs, shopping malls, and office buildings across Hong Kong...

When Hong Kong citizens saw the tragic conditions in the disaster-stricken areas on the screen, although some felt that it had nothing to do with them, more than half of them could not help but feel sympathy, with their eyes flashing with concern for their compatriots far away.

……

……

As for TVB,

Shao Daheng, who was having dinner in the villa, somehow opened the ATV news. After reading it, his face changed.

Call the head of the news department immediately:

"Have you watched the news on ATV?"

"what?"

"What? Did TVB send anyone to the capital?"

"some."

“And what about the news?”

"The reporter hasn't returned yet. The news won't arrive until tomorrow morning."

"Damn it... Why do you have to wait until tomorrow for something like this? ATV has already started reporting on it! What are you doing?!"

Shao Daheng yelled angrily, using a swear word in his hometown dialect.

As a Hong Kong TV station, it should be politically sensitive and report this matter immediately. But the reporter hasn't come back yet?
The news director quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'll call them right away and ask them to come back."

Shao Daheng cursed: "What the hell, there's not enough time... Go find ATV right away... Forget it, I'll call..."

The reporters from the capital would definitely not be able to make it back in time, so he could only ask for help from ATV.

I can only beg for mercy shamelessly.

This time, ATV actually got ahead of me!
20:00 in the evening...

TVB also reported the disaster and the news after the press conference in the capital.

Then at 22 p.m., TVB and ATV reported the news again, and more citizens saw it.

……

At 20:00,
In the Five Star Building, Guan Zu was gathering the six leaders of the group, Ah Hua, Gao Jin, Chen Yongren, Su Jianqiu, Gao Qiu, and Tan Meili, as well as the semi-leader Wuying...

As well as the principals and regional leaders Huadi, Liang Xiaorou, laughing, Li Changdong, David, A Ting...

Oh, and there are also Stephen Chow and Li Jie...

Have a group meeting!
Guan Zu looked serious:

"I think everyone has seen the news."

"This matter is very important to our Five Star Group."

"First of all, we, the Five Star Group, must actively participate and not lag behind others."

"Ah Qiu (Gao Qiu), you are in charge of the Five Star Charity Foundation, and work with Ah Hua to raise funds..."

Ah Hua, Gao Qiu: "Yes!"

They were well prepared and had drawn up the charter plan.

Guan Zu looked at Gao Jin and said, "Ah Jin, bring Zhou Xingxing and Li Jie... hold a press conference and donate all the box office revenue from the two movies, "Fight Back to School" and "Once Upon a Time in China"..."

Zhou Xingxing and Li Jie: "Ah???"

I was shocked.

Donated all?
It’s amazing that these two movies have been completed for more than a month, but have not been released yet.

Is it...

Is this your plan too?
Gao Jin: “Yes!”

Guan Zu looked at Tan Meili: "Meili, stop talking for now. I will appoint you as the chairman of Mingxin Hospital, and I have prepared a batch of medicines. When the time comes, I will send them to the mainland in your name..."

Tan Meili nodded: "Yes!"

I am deeply moved!

Brother Zu has been really good to me!

Zu Ge is loyal!

Guan Zu looked at everyone.

“During this disaster, our Five Star Group’s most important fundraising effort raised more donations.”

“I hope everyone can work together to get this done!”

"Yes!!"

starting from today,
The Five Star Group, this big machine has been fully started.

Let everyone see the power of citizen support!
