Chapter 872 Yang Ming Inspects Kowloon Walled City for the Second Time!

February 3, 1984.

The second day of the Chinese New Year.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival in Hong Kong is still very strong.

Today, Yang Ming, as a Justice of the Peace, inspected the Kowloon Walled City for the second time.

Before this, Yang Ming had inspected the Kowloon Walled City, and the Kowloon Walled City had also undergone great changes.

At this moment, the Kowloon Walled City is still there.

In addition to Yang Ming, there are also Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Yun, Zhou Kaixuan and others, as well as Yang Ming's bodyguards Chen Zhenhua, Zhang Guohua and others.

There are also security personnel from EG, police officers sent by the Hong Kong police, and specially invited reporters from major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, reporters from Hong Kong Asia Television, etc.

Yang Ming's second inspection of the Kowloon Walled City can be said to be larger than the first time.

Those reporters don't know what Sir Yang is going to do, but they feel that Sir Yang is going to make great changes.

The existence of the Kowloon Walled City is a scar in Hong Kong, which represents the lowest level of Hong Kong.

Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi and others got on the Rolls-Royce and left the Empire Group Building. Under the escort of the Hong Kong police car, they left the Empire Group Building and went to the Hung Hom Tunnel.

Along the way, Sir Yang's trip still attracted the attention of many Hong Kong citizens.

After crossing the Hung Hom Tunnel, they entered Kowloon, Hong Kong, and continued to go north.

Soon, they arrived at Kowloon Walled City.

Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce stopped.

Yang Ming had noticed.

Kowloon Walled City is still Kowloon Walled City. From the outside, it still looks like a very strange behemoth.

It is broad daylight now.

Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Sir Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, the richest man in Hong Kong, and Justice of the Peace, came here in person. Many residents of Kowloon Walled City have already learned about it from the news in advance.

Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Yun, Zhou Kaixuan and others went into Kowloon Walled City.

At this time.

Kowloon Walled City has water and electricity.

The domestic water used is from the Hong Kong Water Company.

The domestic electricity used is from China Power.

In addition, the garbage that was originally piled up everywhere has been cleaned up by cleaners, and the environment inside is very different from before.

Most importantly, there were many criminals hiding here, but now they have all fled to other places.

At this time, the customs here look very different.

Yang Ming's arrival.

The residents living in Kowloon Walled City have spontaneously come out to greet him.

"Sir Yang, welcome to Kowloon Walled City again."

. . .

An old man shook Yang Ming's hand excitedly and said.

"When I first came to inspect Kowloon Walled City, I said that I would make changes to Kowloon Walled City. I want to see the changes in Kowloon Walled City now."

The residents living in Kowloon Walled City enthusiastically took Yang Ming and others in.

At this time, there are still tens of thousands of people living in Kowloon Walled City.

The people here are no longer illegal residents. They all have Hong Kong ID cards, and they still live in it in a crowded manner.

The wires that were randomly laid everywhere in the past now seem to have changed a lot. China Power Company sent people to adjust the lines here to avoid leakage, or wires leaking directly outside, or even circuits causing fires.

In addition.

The many piles of garbage and stinking ditches that were seen before seem to have disappeared now.

I have to say that the current Kowloon Walled City is indeed very different.

It surprised Lin Xiuzhi that compared with the original Kowloon Walled City, it has indeed changed a lot.

The most important thing is that the residents living here feel that their personal safety is much safer, and they are no longer as frightened as before.

In the past, when they lived in it, they might see some shady gray transactions in a corner at any time, or they might see dead people.

In the past two years, the crime rate here has dropped a lot.

Even if crimes occasionally occur, the police in Kowloon quickly come in and find the suspects.

This is the change brought about by Yang Ming's first patrol.

This time.

Yang Ming made greater changes for the first time.

"What is your biggest problem now?" Yang Ming asked.

The biggest problem?

The residents of Kowloon Walled City seemed to be unable to speak out.

Yang Ming could only continue to go in, and he came to the old man he had met at the beginning.

However, the old man who was bent over had passed away last year.

The others took Yang Ming to the cage house again.

It was obvious that the cage house where the old man lived was still there, but the owner of the cage house had changed.

Yang Ming sat there, looking at the environment in the cage house, and there was no change.

There were more people living here than before in the entire Kowloon Walled City.

In this case, the cage house was still a cage house, but some of the old people living in the cage house had died of illness.

"Sir Yang, he was very grateful for the changes you made to us grassroots people when he was alive. However, he passed away last year."

An old man who lived in the cage house and was very familiar with the old man said.

At the beginning, Yang Ming came to inspect and promised to make changes to the old people here, including the houses they lived in.

Among them, for ordinary people living in cage houses, the biggest wish is just to have a bed where they can stretch their waists when they sleep.

It is basically impossible for people living in cage houses to straighten their backs now. They basically have to curl up their bodies to lie down and rest.

Over time, these people's backs will ache more and more. When they get old, they will be like the old man, unable to walk straight.

"Everyone, I came here this time to tell you that in Hong Kong, everyone has the right to live in a normal house. The so-called normal house is definitely not these cage houses. At least one person has a living room, a separate bathroom, a kitchen, and at least 20 square meters per person, not the current cage houses of 2 square meters per person."

"Sir Yang, are you serious?"

Many people around asked in shock.

Not only the old people living in the cage houses here can't believe it.

Other reporters and others nearby are also very surprised.

In fact.

In 1982 and 1983, the real estate crisis broke out in Hong Kong.

Especially in 1983, when the real estate price in Hong Kong was the lowest, some places even fell back to the price of the 1960s. However, there are still many people in Hong Kong who can't afford such houses.

By now, in 1984, housing prices in Hong Kong have gradually recovered. Under such circumstances, for these people at the bottom of society, it is unlikely that they will ever be able to live in a normal house as Sir Young said.

Governor MacLehose mentioned the idea of ​​having a house to live in a long time ago. In fact, only a small proportion of people can live in one.

At this time, there are still hundreds of thousands of people living in cage houses or pigeon nests in Hong Kong.

All they hope for in their entire lives is to have a place for their family to call their own.

But it didn't happen.

They also think it is almost impossible for Sir Young to do it.
