Chapter 213 Hong Kong in the 6s and some introduction

Hongkong--

Hong Kong is located in southern China and consists of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and 262 surrounding islands. During the First Opium War from 1840 to 1842, the Qing government signed the Treaty of Nanjing with Britain and ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain.

From October 1856 to October 10, Britain and France jointly launched the Second Opium War with the support of the United States and Russia. The Qing government signed the Sino-British Beijing Treaty with Britain, ceding the Kowloon Peninsula to Britain.

1898年英国强迫清政府于6月9日在北京签订《展拓香港界址专条》。条约强行租借新界等地区岛屿,并规定租借期限为99年,至1997年6月30日终。1989年7月1日生效,至此香港彻底沦为英国殖民地。

On December 1941, 12, the Japanese army suddenly attacked and occupied Hong Kong. After the Japanese surrendered, Zhang Fakui, the commander of the Second Front Army responsible for accepting the surrender, sent troops to Hong Kong for a short period of time. Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek was eager to start a civil war, and Britain at that time only followed the lead of the United States. In order to obtain support and assistance from the United States, Chiang Kai-shek gave up Hong Kong.

The independence of Outer Mongolia was also recognized by Chiang Kai-shek. After the founding of New China, the old man tried to take it back, but was rejected by Gangtie.

In September 1982, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visited China with the victory of the Falklands War. She proposed that the sovereignty issue could not be negotiated, and said that if China and Britain could not reach an agreement before 9, or if riots or other bad things happened in Hong Kong, China would reconsider the time and method of taking back Hong Kong.

After two years and 22 rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus and signed an agreement in 1984: China will take back the New Territories, including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and all Hong Kong areas, on July 1997, 7.

Hong Kong in the 1960s

In the 1960s, Hong Kong Island was facing a period of industrial restructuring as Western developed countries were in the process of transferring labor-intensive industries to developing countries and regions. In addition, the outbreak of the Korean War ten years ago brought huge demand, which benefited Hong Kong and Kowloon, a city with a superior geographical location and developed maritime transport.

In the decade from the 1950s to the 1960s, the number of factories in Hong Kong Island increased from 1,478 to 10,032, and the number of workers increased from 80,000 to 370,000. Countless tycoons made their fortunes and later became the leaders of various industries.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Hong Kong Island still implemented the Qing Dynasty Law, which still practiced polygamy. Therefore, in this era when poverty was despised but prostitution was not, many parents would rather marry their daughters to rich men as concubines than to poor boys.

Even ordinary citizens, if they have this intention, now have two wives everywhere, especially the women who escaped from the north, who have no relatives to turn to, and in order to survive, they can only choose to marry local men as concubines...

The official language of Hong Kong Island is now English, and the upper class is proud to communicate in Mandarin, and has a mysterious worship of the former magic city. Cantonese... is regarded as a more popular language in the rural areas of the New Territories.

Tycoons like Run Run Shaw, Jin Yong, and Zou Wenhuai, who would influence the Chinese cultural circle for many years in the future, lived and died in Hong Kong Island and still could not speak Cantonese fluently...

This phenomenon continued until the late 1970s...

Hong Kong Island in the 1960s was an era of mixed race, black and white, and disorder. The number of crimes committed by the Hong Kong Police Force exceeded 100,000 every year. During the two cases of mid-year and year-end, there would always be a queue of hundreds of people outside the police station. These were the people who made a living by taking the blame.

At that time, apart from the natives of the New Territories, no one called themselves Hong Kong people. They were Chaozhou people, Shunde people, Huzhou people, and Fjian people. Each place had a chamber of commerce and a certain group of people. When they needed to stand up for themselves, most people would look for the group of people to help them. People at that time valued loyalty and kept their promises.

In the 1960s, corruption was rampant in Hong Kong. It was not only the police who were corrupt, but also other public resources such as hospitals. It was just that the police had a bigger fist and were more corrupt. At that time, Britain "ruled the Chinese with the Chinese", the police managed the underworld, and the underworld managed the ordinary people.

Hong Kong triads -

The Hong Kong underworld is called the Triads, which are mainly composed of: the Hezi system, 14k, the Xinyi'an and dozens of other small gangs.

The He family has the longest history and is the descendant of the Tiandihui, also known as the Hongmen, which was formed to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Many Kuomintang leaders, such as Sun Yat-sen, once joined the group. After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown in 1911, some people in the group failed to keep up with the historical trend and lost their source of income, degenerating into gangsters.

14k was founded in Hong Kong in 1949 by KMT Lieutenant General Ge Zhaohuang, who fled the mainland with some KMT personnel who also fled the mainland. At its peak, it had more than 1956 people and became famous for planning the Double Tenth Riot in Hong Kong in October 10.

Hong Kong movie star Chan Wai Man is a 14k gold medal fighter. Macau's Wan Kuo Kui, nicknamed 'Broken Tooth Koi', is also a 14k member. 'Broken Tooth Koi' has a disciple who started a new group, Zhou Zhuohua, nicknamed 'Ximihua'. He was the one who went to jail a few years ago!

Sun Yee On was founded in Hong Kong in 1947 by the Kuomintang Major General Xiang Qian. In 1953, Xiang Qian was deported by the Hong Kong British government for political reasons. The gang was once disorganized, with branches such as Jingyi and Dahaocai formed, and were later integrated by the new leader of Sun Yee On.

The leader of the Sun Yee On is hereditary, from father to son. The well-known Wing Shing Film boss, Heung Wah Keung, was born to the third wife of Heung.

Yiqun was created by Wu Xihao (the prototype of the movie "Limping Ho"). In 1974, with the arrest of Wu Xihao and other key members, Yiqun fell into decline.

Kowloon Walled City -

Kowloon Walled City, also known as "Kowloon Zhai City", is a walled city with an area of ​​less than 30,000 square meters located in the present-day Kowloon City District. Because it was once a settlement of Chaozhou people, it is also called "Little Chaozhou". It is an absolute enclave.

After the "Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory", Kowloon Walled City was still under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. As the Hong Kong police had no right to enter and the Chinese government at the time refused to manage it, Kowloon Walled City suddenly became a hotbed of crime and slums. The local jurisdiction issue was even described as "no man's land" (China doesn't care, Britain doesn't care, and Hong Kong doesn't care).

In 1987, China and Britain jointly decided to demolish the Walled City. According to the Sino-British Joint Declaration, the mainland allowed Britain to enter Kowloon Walled City to relocate residents and provide compensation. It was then completely demolished in 1993.

Fok Ying-Tong

Huo Yingdong was originally named Guan Tai, a famous patriotic businessman. During the Korean War, he organized a large fleet in Hong Kong to transport a large amount of urgently needed materials to the motherland, despite the British Hong Kong authorities' armed crackdown on smuggling. Since then, he has been suppressed for a long time and even had to completely withdraw from the real estate industry.

Chairman of the Real Estate Construction Chamber of Hong Kong, China, pioneered the "floor flower", that is, the reservation and pre-sale system of real estate. Later, he mined sand for construction and was called "Czar". Chairman and lifetime honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Chairman of the 8th, 9th and 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

He founded Macau Gaming with Stanley Ho and once requested that profits be used for charity. In the 80s, he sold his gaming shares to Stanley Ho, but Ho changed his mind temporarily. In 2003, he donated all his shares to charity and completely withdrew from Macau Gaming.

On October 2006, 10, he died of illness in Beijing at the age of 28. The coffin of Henry Fok was taken back to Hong Kong on a special plane from the state leaders' landing pad. The coffin was covered with the national flag and was given a state funeral!

In 1964, the old man wrote a handwritten invitation to Ho Ying-Tong to attend the National Day celebrations.

Lui Lok, from Haifeng, Shanwei, is the Chief Inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department of Hong Kong, known as the "Inspector of Five Billion". The prototype of Lei Luo in the film and television drama is said to be that the pronunciations of Lui Lok and Lei Luo are similar, so he is called Lei Luo in the film and television drama. It is not known whether it is true or not. It is said that Xiang Qian of the Sun Yee On is his uncle.
