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

Chapter 560 "559" "The True Story of Madman" (End)
8 o'clock,

Fresh pork offal porridge food stall.

It was very lively and the seats were packed.

Guan Zu and A Xing were sitting at the table, while Gao Gang was reading a book beside them.

“Gugugugu~~~~~”

In the middle of the table, in a large casserole, porridge was bubbling and the milky white liquid was rolling.

Plates of fresh pig intestines, livers, lungs, pork, sliced ​​fish... were placed on the table.

quickly,

Old Xu is here.

I took a quick glance and found Guan Zu, who was already sitting comfortably at the table, enjoying his hot pot porridge.

He immediately came over in fear and trepidation: "Sorry, sorry, Mr. Guan, I'm late."

Guan Zu smiled: "It's okay, I'm early... sit down."

Patted the red plastic chair next to him.

Guan Zu took two bowls, a spoon, and chopsticks and gave them to him: "Just wash them."

Old Xu was in a panic: "Thank you, thank you."

"Have you had dinner?"

"I ate some bread."

"Then eat more. This pork porridge is quite good."

Eat and chat about family matters.

It was only then that Guan Zu realized that Old Xu had no family, was alone, was nearly 40 years old, and was not married.

"I saw you coaxing that dog today... are you familiar with each other?"

"Yes, it's the patient I'm responsible for."

Then Lao Xu began to introduce the Leshan Rebirth Society.

Because the Society for Rebirth of Charity receives too little social donations (related to the donation black hole of the Five Star Charity Foundation), the boss is now preparing to lay off employees.

So he hoped to get donation from Guan Zu when he met him this time.

Guan Zu nodded: "It's a good organization."

Old Xu: "Yes, but the charity is having a hard time staying open now. The boss said the donations are very low."

Crazy hints.

Guan Zu was delighted, but pretended not to hear and continued talking about other things.

"Can you tell me about these mental patients? I'm curious."

"Okay, what does Mr. Guan want to know?"

"Tell me everything."

Old Xu quickly introduced the world of the crazy guys like pouring beans.

"Each of them has his own territory. We check on everyone every three months, just like we do household census. We check if they have moved to other places, if anyone is missing, if there are new people living in..."

“So it’s four times a year?”

"Yeah, what else can we do? We don't have enough manpower to follow them."

"How do you usually help them?"

"If the temperature is below 10 degrees, we will give them woolen blankets. If there is a typhoon, we will take them to a shelter..."

"anything else?"

"See if there's anything else they need...if there's any problem, help them solve it."

“Why don’t you find them a place to live?”

"They have to be willing to stay here. Most of these people don't listen to advice..."

"Have you ever tried giving them a bath or something? A haircut…?"

"We've tried it before. Some people were unhappy after taking a shower, and some people couldn't accept their hair being cut off and committed suicide. We never dared to do it again."

Following Lao Xu's words,

Guan Zu felt that these mentally ill patients were increasingly difficult to deal with.

At the same time, I also admire people like Lao Xu.

"Here's to you! You're a great man!"

Guan Zu picked up the Tsingtao beer.

Old Xu was flattered and said quickly: "No, no, no..."

cheers.

Drink it all in one gulp.

Thinking about my experiences over the years, the misunderstanding and estrangement of friends, and the difficulty in caring for mental patients, I was filled with sadness and tears, and I couldn't help but feel my eyes red.

In the past, he pretended to be strong and held on so as not to let others see his vulnerability.

But now that Guan Zu had touched his heart like this, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

It took more than a minute for the emotions to calm down.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Guan..."

Guan Zu patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, it seems you have suffered a lot."

Old Xu shook his head and nodded, then sighed: "This job is difficult, but I can't find a suitable person to take my position. What will happen to those people when the time comes?"

Guan Zu: "Are there no hospitals to treat mental patients?"

Old Xu introduced the situation: "Currently, there are some closed mental hospitals that are free and some that are paid for by the patient. The free ones rely on government subsidies..."

"Currently, Castle Peak Hospital and Kwai Chung Hospital in Hong Kong Island have set up acute psychiatric wards, which implement closed management for patients with unstable conditions who need compulsory treatment. Part of the cost is self-paid, and the rest is subsidized by the government... But because there is really no money, we can't admit many people..."

"There are also some who pay for their own treatment. They are from Hong Kong Adventist Hospital and St. Teresa's Hospital. They are all mentally ill patients sent in by wealthy families..."

He looked helpless: "It's not that we don't want to find a hospital for them to receive treatment, but we just don't have the money and the conditions..."

Crazy hints to Guan Zu.

This time, Guan Zu didn't tease him.

"Okay, our Five Star Group will not be absent from such events..."

"I plan to build a mental hospital to accommodate these mentally ill patients..."

If I can help, I will try my best to help.

But Guan Zu didn't know how much he could help.

"In addition, we will provide your Rebirth Association with ample funds..."

When Old Xu heard this, he immediately became excited.

Picking up Tsingtao beer: "Thank you Mr. Guan! Thank you Mr. Guan on behalf of all my friends!"

"I'll do it first, you can do whatever you want!"

Drink tons and tons of it.

Guan Zu smiled and did it.

It took more than an hour to finish eating.

Old Xu also knew that Guan Zu’s time was precious, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye: “Thank you, Mr. Guan.”

Guan Zu nodded.

Old Xu turned and left.

"Wait……"

At this time, Guan Zu shouted.

Old Xu turned around: "What's wrong?"

Guan Zu thought for a moment, then took out a amulet from his pocket and handed it to Lao Xu.

"This is the amulet I prayed for. It works very well."

“I usually only give it to people I’m close to.”

The reason why Guan Zu gave this was because he thought of Lao Xu's final outcome. In order to save Agou, he was hacked to death by Agou on the spot.

It's so depressing.

I hope this amulet can ward off disaster.

Old Xu was stunned.

Finally, he nodded heavily: "Thank you, Mr. Guan!"

I accept it with all my heart.

Soon, Lao Xu left quickly.

Guan Zu also walked home.

Suddenly, Guan Zu thought of something and called Datou: "Go to the Leshan Rebirth Association and find the information of a mentally ill person named Asong."

"Yes, he has a son. Go find his son and mobilize manpower. I will find him tonight."

……

……

A new day, Sunday.

The sun continues to shine on Hong Kong Island, adding a touch of warmth to the cold streets.

As agreed, Mr. Xu met up with Miss Liu to visit the mentally ill patients.

Ask Lao Xu as you walk.

Like Guan Zu, he asked, "Why don't you give them a bath and cut their hair?"

Old Xu answered truthfully.

Ms. Liu: "But what they are doing is affecting the city's appearance. Why don't they just arrest them and lock them up?"

Old Xu was so angry that he felt that this woman was really cold and heartless. He retorted: "If I think you are affecting the city appearance, can I arrest you?"

Ms. Liu: "These guys are not in a good mental state. If they continue to wander around, what if they cut and injure someone?"

Old Xu was irritated: "What will happen if I kill someone with you?"

What he meant was that mentally ill people would kill people, but normal people would also kill people.

Along the way, Old Xu confided the suffering of this group of people, but Miss Liu looked at it with tinted glasses.

But Lao Xu has gotten used to it, after all, most people are like this.

Perhaps, only Mr. Guan does not view these mental patients in this way.

After walking for a long time, Miss Liu finally saw a mentally ill patient. Old Xu assessed the patient's condition and agreed to her request to approach and talk to him.

"Sir, I'm a reporter. I want to chat with you. Is that okay?"

then,

Miss Liu was ignored.

The biggest problem with mentally ill patients is that it is difficult to communicate with them. It takes Lao Xu a long time to build trust with them.

After a busy morning,
Mr. Xu and Miss Liu found a place to rest.

The sea breeze made Lao Xu feel a little calmer in his anxious heart.

At this time, Miss Liu started to chatter again.
"I think your job is quite interesting, you get to face those mentally ill people all day long. I don't think they are miserable, maybe they don't have as many troubles as us, or they have their own world, so they don't have so many troubles. And we have to work hard and stay awake at all times..."

Her words made Old Xu very uncomfortable.

They look carefree, but they cannot escape from this society.

Old Xu said coldly, "If you don't bother them, they won't have any trouble and will be happy. But if you mess with them, you'll get yourself into trouble in no time. I told you a long time ago that there's nothing to write about, but you didn't believe me. If you don't understand, then at least don't bother them."

in the afternoon,

Old Xu then took Miss Liu to the home of a successful mental patient, who controlled his condition with medication.

Continue visiting...

Finally, Mr. Xu and Miss Liu met the mentally ill Asong.

When Asong saw Lao Xu, he ran away feeling guilty.

Old Xu felt that there must be something wrong, so he chased after him, all the way to a group of burned sheds, and found Asong's house which was not burned down.

The house is full of garbage.

Then Old Xu found Asong's daughter, with chickenpox all over her face and even larger patches on her body.

The little girl was smiling at Old Xu with an innocent face. She knew nothing about her illness.

Old Xu quickly asked Miss Liu to call an ambulance.

quickly,

When they arrived at the hospital, Old Xu realized that Asong had a son and a daughter. Since he was taking the girl with him, what about the son?

He interrogated Asong. As Asong's neurotic and incoherent narration, Lao Xu roughly understood what was going on. Asong's son was sick and the doctor prescribed the wrong medicine, so Asong hid his son. Lao Xu promised Asong that he would find the best doctor to treat his son. Then Asong took Lao Xu, Miss Liu, and the police to find his son.

As a result, we made our way up the mountain and found a mud pit.

The mud pit was dug up.

Nothing at all.

"son!"

At this moment, Asong had a mental breakdown and shouted at the mud pit,

"Son, where are you? Where have you been?"

"Dad is here to see you."

Old Xu was completely stunned.

"What do you mean?"

He quickly ran to the mud pit, looked at it, then thought of something and grabbed Asong's collar.

"What did you do to your son?"

“Why are you here?!”

"He's dead! I buried him here!"

"what?"

This scene almost made Lao Xu collapse.

"Son, where are you? Who stole you?" Asong shouted, then went into the woods to look for him.

At this moment, Old Xu had roughly figured out what had happened. It must be that Asong had a mental breakdown and killed his son and buried him.

"Ah Ming, what the hell!"

Old Xu cursed angrily.

Ming, a social worker of the Rebirth Society, is Song's 'caregiver'.

While asking the police to look for Asong's son, Old Xu was furious and made phone calls everywhere to find the whereabouts of his colleague A Ming.

30 minutes later,
Finally, I found the cheerful A-Ming in a gold shop.

"Amin, are you still a human being?"

"You idiot!"

The furious Old Xu punched Amin in the face, and Amin fell down.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

A Ming's friends were naturally very angry and wanted to beat Lao Xu.

"Stop! Stop it!"

Amin stopped the people who were pulling each other.

Then Amin took Lao Xu out of the gold shop and came to the deserted alley.

"Ason's son is dead, did you know that?!" Old Xu asked with red eyes.

A loud scolding!
"His son had liver disease. Asong told the doctor that he was ill, took some medicine back and gave it to his son, but his son died. Also, when he buried his son, he was still alive!"

"I don't blame you for going out to make money. I want to make money, too, but you have to take care of them, too."

Angry! Sad!

The voice that questioned Amin was hoarse.

A-Ming: “I took care of them.”

Old Xu: "Do you have one? If you had taken care of it, the child wouldn't have died."

A-Ming: "I have been taking care of them for almost ten years. I don't care about them?"

Lao Xu: "You care about them? You care about your money, right?"

Facing Lao Xu's questioning, A Ming also became excited:

Ming: "What do you know? I've taken Song in and out of Qingshan Hospital countless times. I watched those two children being born."

"I advised him, I said: 'Don't get married, you can't even support yourself', he didn't listen. I also told the girl's father: 'Don't marry your daughter to him, he's mentally ill'. His father said: 'Don't worry, my daughter is also an idiot.'"

"I told them that they couldn't have children because they couldn't even take care of themselves, but they wouldn't listen. I asked them to use contraception, but they refused."

"His wife died last year. I asked him to send his two children to the Five Star Orphanage, but he refused."

"In fact, I love his son very much."

As he spoke, Amin's tears began to flow.

Amin poured out his heart, saying that there were too many cruel things in this world, and he tried his best to help them, but it was always like this, one tragedy was enough to destroy all his previous efforts.

"I've tried my best, but what's the use? I quit last week. I thought you knew..."

this moment,
All of Old Xu's anger vanished.

A Ming has walked just as many miles and taken care of as many patients as himself. Old Xu's heart is also full of scars. He recalled the helplessness he encountered when he first started working. He wanted to persuade the two children to quit drugs, but found out that the whole family were drug addicts, so the matter had to be left unresolved.

He met all kinds of mentally ill people: some had hacked their mothers to death, some had jumped off a building, some were unhappy and kept shouting about suicide, and some had been locked up at home for more than a decade...

Old Xu felt extremely distressed. He wanted to give up this job, but he couldn't bear to leave the people he had been caring for for many years, fearing that no one would take care of them.

Miss Liu comforted Mr. Xu.

At this moment, a drastic change took place in Miss Liu's heart.

During the day, she said that these mentally ill patients might be very happy, but now, she felt that they were really pitiful.

"Ling ring ring~~~~"

at this time,

Lao Xu's cell phone rang.

Old Xu picked up the phone.
"What? Mingxin Hospital?"

The voice rose an octave.

"Good good!"

Old Xu, who was originally grief-stricken, suddenly brightened up after hearing the phone call.

"Let's go to Mingxin Hospital!"

Old Xu walked quickly with an excited and happy smile on his face.

"what happened?"

"My friend from Five Star Property called and said that Asong's son was dug out and sent to Mingxin Hospital. He just finished emergency treatment and is now hospitalized... Go!"

"Really?"

Miss Liu was surprised and hurried to catch up.

30 minutes later, we arrived at Mingxin Hospital.

Amin also came.

"Where is the man?"

"In the hepatobiliary department on the 7th floor."

Soon, they arrived at the hepatobiliary department and the three of them came to the ward.

On one of the beds, there was a little boy sleeping.

Old Xu: "How is it, is he Asong's son?"

Amin nodded seriously: "Yes."

huh~~~
Old Xu and Miss Liu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Lao Xu learned from his friends at Wuxing Property that it was the boss Guan Zu who asked them to look for it, and they actually found it.

Old Xu didn't know why Mr. Guan asked someone to find...

Maybe this is what makes Mr. Guan so magical?
……

……

a new day,
The Five Star Charity Foundation held a press conference.

More than 40 media outlets were invited.

Facing so many flashing lights...

The person in charge, Gao Qiu, stood on the stage and introduced some of the situations and conditions of the mentally ill patients.

“Mental illness is a global public health issue. There are also many patients in Hong Kong Island who are struggling with the disease…”

"The shortage of medical resources and the heavy financial pressure on families..."

"The Five Star Charity Foundation has always been adhering to the concept of caring for life, delivering warmth, and creating a harmonious society..."

"Today, on behalf of the Five Star Group and the Five Star Charity Foundation, I announce two decisions..."

"First, this year, we will invest no less than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars to increase the recruitment of social workers, their welfare, and to help the financial situation of mental patients..."

"Second, within one year, invest 1 million Hong Kong dollars to build a psychiatric hospital that can accommodate 1 patients..."

……

……

noon,

Mr. Xu and Miss Liu were having dinner in a restaurant, and ATV's midday news was being broadcast on TV.

"We will work to improve the lives of people with mental illness and their families..."

Gao Qiu's voice came through the TV.

Old Xu was pleasantly surprised.

The Five Star Group responded really quickly.

If there were more social workers to help me, I would not be suffering, and the mentally ill patients would be in a better situation.

Ring ring ring~~~~
At this moment, Lao Xu's phone rang.

"Oh no, Ah Gou is going to commit suicide... Lao Xu, please come here quickly..."

Agou's mother called.

Old Xu stood up suddenly.

"where?"

“The market.”

"I'll rush over right away."

Soon, Mr. Xu and Miss Liu ran out of the restaurant and drove quickly to the vegetable market.

Come to the vegetable market.

Agou was about to commit suicide, and two policemen tried to stop him, which further stimulated Agou to commit suicide.

Old Xu rushed over.

When Agou saw Lao Xu coming, he started crying.

"How did you get into this state?" Old Xu checked Agou's whole body and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was not injured.

"My mother told me to die." Agou cried aggrievedly.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll go back and scold her, okay?" Old Xu coaxed.

At this moment,
A female reporter rushed over excitedly, pointed the camera flash at Agou and clicked~~the flash lit up.

Ms. Liu: “Don’t use the flash!”

Old Xu was angry: "Stop it!"

At this moment, Agou was stimulated and went crazy, picking up a knife from the fish stall.

He slashed at Old Xu hard from behind.

Just when he was about to chop Old Xu, his feet suddenly slipped and he knocked Old Xu down, and both of them rolled to the ground.

clang~~~
The knife flew several meters away.

The two policemen quickly put away their knives.

Old Xu was still in shock, so he quickly hugged the crazy Agou and tried to comfort him.

"it's okay no problem……"

“Take a deep breath~~Take a deep breath~~~~”

After two full minutes, Agou finally calmed down.

Then she started crying again.

Only at this moment did Old Xu realize that his back was wet.

Old Xu suddenly had an idea. He opened his coat and took out the amulet given by Guan Zu. He found that the amulet had changed in feel and was broken.
