Chapter 515: Mr. Yang Visits Kowloon City as a Justice of the Peace
Chapter 515 Mr. Yang inspects Kowloon Walled City as a Justice of the Peace!
In the past.
When the Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong went to prisons, detention centers, hospitals, etc., they would not be notified in advance. They would go wherever they were arranged. The main reason was that the Justice of the Peace wanted to see the real situation and protect the legal rights of prisoners, patients, etc.
When Yang Ming was going to Kowloon Walled City this time, the Governor's Office was immediately shocked when he learned about it.
What a hell of a place.
At the beginning, 3,000 sirs were sent to eradicate those social forces, but within a few years, they revived again.
The Governor's Office had already given up on such a place and pretended not to see it.
Now Sir Yang was going to inspect Kowloon Walled City. What was he going there to inspect?
The Governor's Office was confirmed that Sir Yang was going to see the rights of refugees and illegal households in Kowloon Walled City.
Refugees, especially illegal households, were not recognized by the Governor's Office in the past.
Especially illegal households, who did not even have Hong Kong ID cards and did not recognize their identities at all, how could they protect their rights?
However, when the Governor's Office confirmed again and again that Sir Yang was indeed going to Kowloon Walled City.
In this case, the Governor of the Governor's Office, Mr. MacLehose, and the Police Department had to pay special attention.
The most important thing is to protect Sir Yang's safety, and everything else is secondary. In other words, before Sir Yang goes to Kowloon Walled City, all places that are not conducive to Sir Yang's safety must be cleared.
This requires the cooperation of many departments of the Governor's Office in Hong Kong.
Even including the help of the police officers in Kowloon and the New Territories.
The police officers there also need to find familiar communities to help.
Now the Secretary for Administration is a little regretful. They should not have awarded Sir Yang the title of Justice of the Peace. Sir Yang had to go to Kowloon Walled City when he had to go anywhere else.
That place, a place that even the Governor was unwilling to go.
. . .
February 24, 1980.
Sunday.
The ninth day of the first lunar month.
On this day, Yang Ming was going to inspect Kowloon Walled City as a Justice of the Peace.
It has been reported that Sir Yang was awarded the title of Justice of the Peace by the Governor's Office. Many people did not pay much attention to it at first. When they learned that Sir Yang was actually going to inspect the Kowloon Walled City, many Hong Kong citizens were shocked.
Here at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Zhou Kaixuan, Yang Jirong, and Li Yufang are having breakfast here.
"Peter, are you really going to inspect the Kowloon Walled City?" Yang Jirong asked in disbelief.
"Daddy, we have to go and see that place."
Yang Jirong and his wife couldn't understand why their son did that.
Since their son was sure, they didn't say anything else. Except for safety, there was nothing else.
Yang Ming and others finished breakfast.
Get on the Rolls-Royce.
Zhang Guohua's bodyguards, as well as Chen Zhenhua and other bodyguards followed.
Yang Ming and his party left the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
The motorcade passed the Hung Hom Tunnel and continued northward. It was not far from the Kowloon Walled City.
At this time, many sirs were already following on the road.
The motorcade arrived near the Kowloon Walled City.
Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce stopped.
Yang Ming got out of the car, and from a distance, he had seen something like a giant.
This is a group of buildings with densely packed old houses piled together.
How to describe it?
Compared with the high-rise buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour and even in the Central District, this place is actually like a slum in the urban village, a densely packed nest, which looks more terrifying than the average dense urban village.
In such a place, there are tens of thousands of people living here.
There are all kinds of people living here, mainly illegal households and criminals.
So much so that Sir Yang is coming to this place, the Governor's Office of Hong Kong and the sirs in the New Territories and Kowloon are particularly nervous.
Especially Han Yili, who was just promoted to the Director of the Academic Affairs Office of Hong Kong this year, is particularly nervous. In the past few days, he has been discussing with the sirs in the New Territories and Kowloon, including both the black and white worlds.
In other words, they don't care what Sir Yang is going to inspect in Kowloon Walled City. Sir Yang's personal safety must be guaranteed.
Yang Ming got out of the car, and Chen Zhenhua and others were still a little nervous. On the contrary, Zhang Guohua and other bodyguards from China were a little curious about this place.
When they saw those dilapidated buildings, which were crowded together, they were also very surprised.
Such places are probably not seen in China, but only in Hong Kong.
In addition to Mai Lisi and Zhou Kaixuan, there were Zhang Guohua and others, as well as some police officers in police uniforms, some plainclothes officers, and a large group of people.
A group of people went inside.
Many people in Kowloon Walled City also heard that Sir Yang was coming.
At this time, no one came out to approach, or did not dare to come close.
Enter from one of the doors.
Yang Ming was stunned again when he saw these buildings.
The buildings here are really too dense.
It can be said that as long as there is a little space, it is all used to build houses.
Many people saw Yang Ming and others, and Yang Ming found that they were all in a hurry. It is obvious that these people did not dare to approach Yang Ming. What is the reason?
Yang Ming is not clear for the time being.
When we entered a dark alley.
Just now, I saw many women, men, and even children in ordinary clothes, but now they left in a hurry.
"Zhou Kaixuan, why do I feel like they are afraid of me?"
"Boss, they are not afraid of you, they are afraid of others."
Afraid of others?
Yang Ming seemed to have thought of something.
Yang Ming didn't care about that, and the group continued to go into the alley.
It can be seen that it is really dirty and messy inside, with garbage piles everywhere. Not far from the garbage piles, rats that look bigger than kittens are eating with green light.
Those rats don't seem to be afraid of people at all.
Zhou Kaixuan thought those rats were disgusting. They appeared here in broad daylight, which is enough to show that the environment here is really bad.
There are so many buildings crowded here in one place, and tens of thousands of people eat, drink, defecate and urinate all in it. I don't know how much garbage is generated every day. If it is not cleaned up in time, it will inevitably pile up downstairs.
Kowloon Walled City has not been collecting garbage for a long time.
Large pieces of garbage, such as old TVs, old furniture, and discarded mattresses are left on the roofs of buildings, and other garbage is still in the alleys outside.
In addition to these, Yang Ming saw random wires everywhere. This kind of wire is exposed outside, looks a bit shabby, and it is easy to leak electricity, even cause fires, etc.
Yang Ming remembered that there were often various fires in Kowloon Walled City, which were more serious than those in Chongqing Mansion, and many people must have died.
However, this place was originally under the jurisdiction of China Power. In fact, China Power had no control over the electricity usage here.
The electricity here was secretly connected from outside. China Power did not receive the electricity bills used by tens of thousands of people inside. I am afraid that only the people inside knew who collected the specific electricity bills.
The tap water used by the residents inside was partly from wells and partly from people selling water inside.
In the early years, the population was small and the water from wells was enough, but as the population increased, I am afraid that there was a great shortage of water inside.
