Chapter 2065

The Hong Kong in this time and space is the same and different from the Hong Kong in Kai's original time and space.

The same thing is that the Hong Kong in this time and space is still an external port, and it is a mixture of Chinese and Western cultures. The difference is that the history of the two time and space is still different. After all, the Chinese in this time and space are a group of strong people.

So this gave Kai a very novel experience.

He did not go to the Hong Kong Temple.

Instead, he wandered around Hong Kong.

"I like it here very much. The only thing that makes me a little unhappy is that we are monitored wherever we go!" Strange took Kai to his favorite roast goose restaurant!

Shenjing Chenji Roast Goose Noodles Tea Restaurant!

Shenjing Roast Goose is a traditional Cantonese dish in GD Province. The dish originated from the traditional barbecued meat in Guangzhou, Taishan, Hong Kong, and Macau in Guangdong. Shenjing Roast Goose originated from Shenjing Village, Changzhou Island, Huangpu District, Guangzhou. The roast goose made in this village has crispy skin and delicious meat. It is a Cantonese dish that many overseas Chinese in Guangdong must taste. Later, Shenjing Roast Goose was spread to Hong Kong and Macau and continued to flourish, becoming one of the famous Cantonese dishes.

Guangdong roast goose originated from roast duck. Roast duck has been recorded in the book "Food Records" during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, Chen Wenlong and other patriots protected the young emperor and retreated to Guangdong to resist the Yuan Dynasty. The chefs of the Southern Song Dynasty also came to Guangdong. As a famous dish of the Song Dynasty, roast duck was naturally brought here. Guangdong did not have the Yan duck that was produced in Hangzhou, so the chef replaced it with local geese in Guangdong and improved it into a roast goose with unique Cantonese characteristics.

When you come to Hong Kong, how can you miss the delicious Sham Tseng roast goose?

Sham Tseng Chen Kee Roast Goose is located in Sham Tseng Village, Castle Peak Road, Tsuen Wan District, New Territories, Hong Kong!

Strange, a foreigner, naturally couldn't find such an authentic store. It was all found by the wizard Wang Yuan. In addition to staying at home, this guy's biggest hobby is eating.

His ancestors were from Guangdong, so he particularly likes Cantonese cuisine.

Tea restaurant is a fast food restaurant originated in Hong Kong. It provides Western-style food with Hong Kong characteristics and is a popular eating place in Hong Kong. The cultural background of tea restaurants can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when Hong Kong's ice houses and Western restaurants combined to form a new thing called tea restaurants. Tea restaurants not only provide the convenience of Western fast food, but also incorporate the characteristics of Chinese food, becoming a model of food culture of "Chinese as the body, Western learning for use". The food soul of tea restaurants is Hong Kong-style milk tea, which has become the iconic drink of tea restaurants with its unique production process and taste.

To be honest, Kai, as a pure Chinese in his previous life, had never eaten in a restaurant in his life!

He was born in the central part of China, served in the army in the west, and returned to his hometown after his major. The farthest place he has been in this life is Beijing, and it was to study. He has only been to Shenzhen in the south, and it was for handling cases and arresting across provinces. Before the arrest, he had been squatting and eating boxed lunches. After the arrest, he took the prisoner back overnight. Not to mention strolling, he didn't even have a good meal.

The local comrades were going to treat them to a meal, but the task was too urgent at the time, so they could only reluctantly decline.

So Kai has never eaten authentic Cantonese food in his life.

Of course, he has eaten roast goose and roast meat... After all, life is so good, you can eat any food you want.

But it is too difficult to get authentic food.

Many delicacies cannot be eaten outside the local area.

For example, Cantonese chicken!

This thing, I have to admire the Cantonese people. Eating chicken with them... It's really killing.

They always say that chicken tastes like chicken and fish tastes like fish.

But Kai never understood what "chicken tastes like chicken and fish tastes like fish" means.

Kai actually doesn't know many Cantonese people, but the few he knows can't explain to him clearly what "chicken tastes like chicken and fish tastes like fish" means.

But this is very important to the Cantonese people. They even give the highest evaluation to whether the food of a restaurant is good!

This time when he came to Hong Kong, he especially wanted to know what this was all about.

After coming to the tea restaurant...

To be honest, the feeling Kai had here... was pretty good. It's not foreign or anything, but it has a retro feeling. It's very fireworks, and there are many people inside. Strange brought him to a real old-fashioned neighborhood tea restaurant.

There were many elderly people inside.

Seeing two foreigners come to such a place, the elderly were also very curious, but everyone was very polite and just looked at them and passed by. This is Hong Kong, and there are many foreigners. This is the place where the most foreigners gather in China.

Especially after several major events.

There are even more foreigners.

Hong Kong is a foreign port, so the policy is relatively relaxed and friendly to foreign immigrants.

You should know that the Chinese green card is the most difficult to obtain on this planet.

How difficult is it to apply for permanent residence in China? The Chinese Five-Star Card, which we often call the Chinese Green Card, started application in 2004. As of 2018, only more than 7,000 people have successfully applied. And how many applicants are there? It is said that about 600,000 foreigners apply each year, which means that only less than 8 people out of 10,000 can be approved. This difficulty can be imagined.

In addition, the American Gallup Survey Company once released a set of data that about 9 million people around the world want to immigrate to China. Even though the threshold was gradually relaxed in the following years due to the need to attract talents, the number of people who successfully obtained the five-star card was only about 20,000.

So what is the difficulty in applying for the Chinese five-star card?

In general, only the following three types of people can apply for the five-star card.

The first category is investors. If you want to apply for a five-star card through investment, you need to meet two conditions: one is to make direct investment in China. The actual registered capital delivered varies depending on the project and region, and the investment threshold is between 500,000 US dollars and 2 million US dollars. The second is that the investment should be maintained for at least 3 years and have a good tax record.

What is the level of this investment threshold? The investment thresholds for US EB5 investment immigration are 850,000 US dollars and 1.05 million US dollars respectively; the investment amount for Singapore PIC investment immigration is not less than 1 million Singapore dollars (about 780,000 US dollars); the company registration capital for Japan's business management visa is 5 million yen (about 35,000 US dollars). In this comparison, the investment immigration threshold in our country is also above the average level.

The second category is outstanding talents. There are also two types: one is senior talents working in China. The recognition of this senior talent first requires that you hold a position above the deputy general manager in Chinese high-tech enterprises, foreign-funded advanced technology enterprises and other units, or you have obtained the title of associate professor or associate researcher or above. This type of talent can apply for a five-star card only after working in China for 4 consecutive years.

The second is talents who have made outstanding contributions or are particularly needed by the country. For example, Nobel Prize winners, talents introduced by the National Thousand Talents Program, etc. These two conditions can be said to have very high thresholds. The same is talent introduction. The US NIW benefit exemption immigration only requires a master's degree, and even if you only have a bachelor's degree but have 5 years of work experience, you can apply. In addition, there is no need for labor certification. For example, New Zealand's 6-point immigration project, applicants only need a bachelor's degree, IELTS 6.5 points, and an offer from a local New Zealand employer to apply.

The third category: family members of Chinese citizens or permanent residents. For example, parents, spouses, and children can apply for a five-star card through family reunion. In addition to family reunion, the above three groups of people who can meet the first two standards are also the best among people. What's more, meeting the conditions is one thing, and whether the application can be successful is another. This is why American star Marbury excitedly said that this is his supreme honor after successfully applying for a five-star card.

Why is it so difficult?

The first reason is that China is not an immigration country, and the absorption of foreign population is limited.

There are three main reasons why overseas countries introduce a large number of immigrants: First, it is an immigrant country itself, and the development of the entire country needs to be supported by immigrants. Typical examples are the United States, Canada and other countries; second, affected by the extremely aging population and low birth rate, they have to absorb a large number of overseas people to fill the local labor market, such as Japan. Third, due to the sluggish local economy, there is an urgent need for the injection of overseas funds to revitalize the local market. This is the European countries led by Greece and Portugal.

The common point of these countries is the lack of technology, labor and money.

But the problem is that no matter this time and space, or the time and space before Kai, there is no shortage of these things.

To be precise, when there is a shortage of these things, others are not willing to immigrate here at all. If there is really no shortage, there is no need for immigration.

This time and space is even more excessive.

Several major events have caused bad luck to the whole world.

Only China has no movement. Although it has been affected, the losses are pitifully small. As for other messy things, there are even fewer.

Even now, many Chinese still don't think superpowers exist, because generally speaking, supernatural powers are forbidden to appear in front of ordinary people.

This reaffirmed to the world that China is a safe place.

So all kinds of immigrants want to immigrate here.

If you can't immigrate to the mainland, you have to settle for Hong Kong.

So the number of foreigners in Hong Kong has increased sharply in recent years.

Kai doesn't speak Cantonese, but he speaks Mandarin fluently!

In fact, it's okay to speak Mandarin in Hong Kong. Many older people can speak it, and young people can speak it too.

When Kai ordered food in fluent Mandarin, the old customers next to him felt strange.

In fact, Strange showed off his plastic Mandarin, which made Kai uncomfortable... He thought he spoke it well!

Foreigners are like this, they always think Chinese is cool.

But these guys like to pretend to know something when they don't. The most typical example is tattoos. Many foreigners even regard "Chinese character tattoos" as a trend. Even the world-famous football star Beckham has joined this trend. Chinese can be said to be the most complex language. A word can have multiple syllables and can have different meanings when placed in different sentences. But foreigners don't know the deep meaning. For many foreigners who don't understand Chinese, they are willing to follow the trend and carve vague words on their bodies. It's not very strange for foreigners to have "Chinese character tattoos" on their bodies. The most surprising thing is the words carved on them. For example, the foreigner below has "Fried Rice with Egg" carved on his body, which is surprising. Some people have the word "Prisoner" tattooed on their arms. When I asked why she wanted to tattoo this Chinese character, she actually explained to me that this word has a very important meaning to her. Some foreigners have a good mentality by nature, so they did not hesitate to carve the two words "Love to Laugh" on their arms, hoping that they can be happy every day in the future. Chinese culture is extensive and profound. Chinese students are naturally proficient in Chinese since they have been learning Chinese since childhood. However, foreigners are not like this. They only have a superficial understanding of Chinese, so they follow their own ideas. For example, in order to show that he is very cultured and very good at learning Chinese, this foreigner asked to have "wiinds of pain" tattooed on his back. He thought it meant "pain storm" in Chinese, but when we used Chinese, it was "gout".

Strange thought he was a genius and could learn anything at once.

But in fact, Chinese is very difficult to learn!

The syllable structure of Chinese is complex and changeable. The combination of consonants and vowels is like weaving a fine net, which makes beginners lose their way in the ocean of pronunciation. "shī, shì, sì", these three syllables, although only one word difference, contain rich phonetic changes, and a slight negligence may lead to a world of difference in meaning. Foreign friends often lament that learning Chinese pronunciation is like conducting a precise acoustic experiment. The pronunciation of each syllable requires countless attempts and adjustments. In addition, there are many homophones and polyphones in Chinese, which are like traps in a maze, waiting for explorers who step into them inadvertently. Therefore, for Chinese learners, mastering correct pronunciation is not only the basis of communication, but also the only way to understand culture and deepen language.

There are significant differences between spoken and written Chinese, which are not only reflected in the choice of vocabulary, but also in the diversity of expression. Spoken expression is often concise and clear, focusing on practicality; while written language is more standardized, elegant, and focuses on literary talent and rhetoric. The existence of this double standard requires Chinese learners to continuously improve their written expression skills while mastering daily conversations. Idioms, two-part allegorical sayings, ancient poems and other unique language phenomena in Chinese add endless charm and depth to written language. They are like cultural treasures waiting for learners to explore and taste. However, this undoubtedly increases the difficulty and challenge of learning Chinese.

Chinese not only has a unified Mandarin system, but also contains rich and diverse dialect culture. From the bold and straightforwardness of the Northeast to the gentleness and delicacy of Guangdong, and the spicy and humorous Sichuan, each dialect is a unique mark of local culture and history. For foreign learners, mastering Mandarin is not easy, not to mention those dialects with their own characteristics.

However, it is this diversity of dialects that makes Chinese more vivid, interesting and colorful. It allows every Chinese to find a sense of belonging and identity in their hometown, and also makes Chinese one of the most inclusive and diverse languages ​​in the world.

Strange's two knives just think they are good at learning...
