Chapter 520 Yang Ming's Opinion on Kowloon Walled City!
When many people think that Hong Kong is full of gold, they risk their own lives to come to Hong Kong to develop. Who would have thought that there is no place to stand, and they have to sleep in cages that cannot lie upright.
Yang Ming did not continue to stay in Kowloon Walled City.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Zhou Kaixuan and others left the Kowloon Walled City under the protection of the white man A Sir and others, and got on the Rolls-Royce. Yang Ming looked back and still felt that the Kowloon Walled City The existence is in sharp contrast to the bustling Victoria Harbour.
on the car.
Recalling the scenes they just saw, Mai Lisi and Zhou Kaixuan still felt uncomfortable.
Not only was it dirty and messy, but I actually saw a dead person. The dead person was still unknown. He had no identity or ID card. He only knew his gender and nothing else.
This place, a place that the Governor's Palace had long given up on, made Melis wonder why the boss should care about it.
"Go back to Repulse Bay."
Chen Zhenhua drove away from here.
. . .
Return to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, Yang Jirong and his wife had already come out to greet them.
"Peter, how's it going?"
Li Yufang also knew about Kowloon Walled City, but she always felt that it was a different world from Xiangjiang.
"Daddy, Mommy, we watched for a few hours, but, what should I say?"
Yang Ming was afraid that speaking out would scare Li Yufang.
I learned from Yang Ming that when they saw dead people during the Chinese New Year, the expressions of Li Yufang, Azhu, and Zhong Chuhong all changed.
noon.
Yang Ming, Mailisi, Zhou Kaixuan, Yang Jirong, Li Yufang and others had lunch together.
After lunch.
Yang Ming, Mailisi, and Zhou Kaixuan went up to the study room on the third floor.
"The Kowloon Walled City will be demolished sooner or later. But now is not the time."
Historically, it was not demolished until 1993, of course there is a reason.
Now I really don’t dare to touch the Governor’s Mansion.
There was no need for Yang Ming to do that.
However, from the Kowloon Walled City, Yang Ming could clearly see the hardship of life for the lower class in Hong Kong.
If he doesn't take action, then Xiangjiang will still be the same Xiangjiang. It will still be the same as in history. The land in Xiangjiang is almost monopolized by the four major families and real estate developers, and housing prices will still be high.
It would be different if Yang Ming took action.
Mailisi and Zhou Kaixuan both nodded.
Tens of thousands of people live there now. If it is to be demolished, it will not be easy to solve the problem of housing these tens of thousands of people.
The two felt that it would be best if the boss ignored them for the time being.
"Since I am now a justice of the peace in Xiangjiang and I have gone to see it, of course I can't just show off and ignore everything."
"Boss, how do you want to solve it?" Melis asked.
"First, you have seen those children in Kowloon Walled City who are seven or eight years old, or even older, who did not go to school and were just playing around. Needless to say, these people will either work as coolies at a young age in the future. Child labor is still normal. If they become illegal in the future, these people will cause many security problems. "
Yang Ming knew that the security in Xiangjiang had always been poor.
Not to mention the 1950s and 1960s, the era of the four Chinese chief inspectors was actually even darker. In the early 1970s, after MacLehose came to power, he directly dealt with the four Chinese chief inspectors and used ICAC to supervise those Hong Kong police officers. As sir.
Even then, the security in Xiangjiang is not as good as imagined.
In addition, it goes without saying that there are various associations in Xiangjiang.
Yang Ming learned a lot. Whether it is in the Kowloon Walled City or the New Territories of Hong Kong, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island have always existed, and their sphere of influence is not small.
So where do the members of those societies come from?
Of course, a steady stream of young people who did not study joined, became gangsters, and then became the main members of those societies.
Historically, a "Young and Dangerous" comic book appeared in Hong Kong and was made into a series of movies. In fact, these reflected the existence of the societies in Hong Kong at that time.
These cartoons and movies have also taught many young people bad things, including many in China who have been affected by them after seeing them.
In other words, reading is still very important, at least to keep those children on the right track.
Even if not everyone can go to college, it is still very good for ordinary people to learn a technology.
In other words, there are still many children in Xiangjiang who cannot receive normal education.
Most of these children are new immigrants who have smuggled themselves to Hong Kong with their families from China in the past few years, and some are like those in the Kowloon Walled City who were born and raised in Hong Kong.
There may be some Christian-organized schools, or schools supported by hometown associations, but there are still many parents who are unwilling to send their children to study there.
Except for one thing, when children are older, that is, when they are eleven or twelve years old, they can start to become the family's labor force and start making money to support the family.
In addition, those parents simply do not realize the importance of reading.
"I hope that these children who have not studied in Xiangjiang can study normally. In addition to liking reading, those who want to go to middle school or university and have good grades can continue to study. However, if they really have no talent for reading, I think they should learn a skill. It’s not bad, that is, studying in a vocational school.”
"Boss, do you mean to support those children in studying?" Zhou Kaixuan asked.
"That's right. It's good to read more."
At this time, Zhou Kaixuan knew that in Yang Ming's fund, education should be the most supported, including national scholarships for domestic students every year, supporting the tuition and book fees for children in Yang's hometown, and 10 million pounds for Turing College, which Yang Ming founded at his alma mater in London.
There are even three universities established in Haojiang with the four major families in Haojiang. These are all educational support. In addition to reputation, Yang Ming's substantial benefits are slowly showing.
Zhou Kaixuan supports education.
Like her, she has always been eager to read more, even study abroad.
But there is no opportunity.
After she arrived at Yenching, under Yang Ming's suggestion, she can indeed go to classes in Yanjing's colleges and universities, and learn a lot.
"Second, about Hong Kong universities."
At this time, Hong Kong really didn't have many colleges and universities.
The best college in Hong Kong, Hong Kong University, was established in 1910.
Hong Kong Chinese University was formed by the merger of New Asia College, Chung Chi College and United College in 1963.
Hong Kong Polytechnic University was first established in 1937.
Hong Kong Baptist University was founded in 1956.
Hong Kong Lingnan University was re-established in 1967.
. . .
In addition to these universities, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hong Kong City University have not yet appeared.
Later, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology developed very well, and its comprehensive strength in all aspects was not inferior to that of domestic 985 universities. However, at this time, they have not yet appeared.
In Yang Ming's view, the development of a place is really inseparable from the cultivation of universities and talents.
Yang Ming is naturally not stingy with investment in this area.
It can not only cultivate local talents and bring him more fame, but also cultivate more talents for the Empire Group and its group companies.
