Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

In just two days, donations from the Hong Kong community and entertainment circles reached more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

This number far exceeds the psychological expectations of President Zhou and the Central Committee, and they know that this is far from the final donation amount.

Because there are other industries in Hong Kong that have not donated money, such as the Big Three in the newspaper industry, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, and Sing Tao Daily, have not donated yet.

And with Qiao Feng’s enthusiasm and generous donations this time, Ming Pao’s donations will definitely not be less than 10 million. Even if other Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily donate less than Qiao Feng, they cannot donate too little. Otherwise, it would be Qiao Feng's face that showed up, and they were very embarrassed.

There are many other newspapers such as the Hong Kong Economic Journal, Chinese Commercial Daily, Ta Kung Pao, etc. It should be no problem to have a total of tens of millions.

The most feared thing about donations is comparison, and the fear is that someone will take the lead.

Everyone is inseparable, and they are on the same level.

If someone chooses to donate one million, the others are basically around one million.

Basically no one is too outrageous, saying that I just want to be much more than you, unless you are much stronger than others and have the ability to donate more.

And if someone chooses to donate to a higher level at the beginning, for example, donate five million or ten million, then everyone else will definitely be embarrassed to donate.

Everyone is a face-seeking person, even if they hold on, they are not ashamed to let others say that they are inferior to others.

That's it this time.

There are more than 30 million of He Bo's base, and Xiao Tiantian donated 10 million to find the clues of her husband Wang Dehui. Few of the leading tycoons in various industries in Hong Kong donate less.

Didn't Shao Daheng increase the donation from the original 20 million to 30 million.

Not to mention the 100 million donated by Qiao Feng and his harem.

It's strange that this donation doesn't soar wildly.

For President Zhou, he naturally has to thank the organization and sponsor Qiao Feng for this result.

"President Zhou, you don’t need to thank me. This is not my personal contribution. One party is in trouble and all parties support. The motherland has suffered a disaster. We should help, just like the water of the East River came over the mountains. Hong Kong people remember this love. "Qiao Feng said.

Hong Kong is naturally short of fresh water. This city surrounded by the sea on three sides has no big rivers or abundant groundwater.

The rainfall is abundant, concentrated in spring and summer, and in a blink of an eye, it flows into the sea.

From the autumn of 1962 to the summer of 1963, Qiao Feng was just born at that time.

Hong Kong suffered a century-old drought. Airplanes sprinkled dry ice to make rain. It was useless. The believers started to pray for rain, but it didn't work. They thought about digging and digging wells. What came out was mud instead of water.

The British Hong Kong authorities strictly "make water" (Cantonese: water supply within a limited period of time), providing water for 4 hours a day. (This is what the Chow Xingchi movie Kung Fu talks about.)

During the day, Hong Kong people are either on the way to fetch water, or they are in line to fetch water.

At that time, a barbecued pork rice cost 5 cents, but a bucket of water cost 5 yuan.

In order to ensure that they can drink water, bathe, and do laundry, the family often takes turns to suspend work and school.

In the construction industry that consumes a lot of water, some sites have to use sea water to coagulate sand and gravel. This is the unique "salt water building" in the 1960s, which endangers the quality and safety of buildings and has an impact today.

Water production is a nightmare for a generation of Hong Kong people. Without water, it is almost desperate.

At that time, Hong Kong people took a bath in summer, and even a basin of water was used by the whole family.

Hong Kong’s water shortage is not a single day, but a severe drought in 1962, forcing the British to put people’s livelihood above politics and discuss water supply issues with the province in the north.

The Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Association have written letters requesting Peiping to extend a helping hand to provide water to Hong Kong compatriots.

Water supply or not?

This is a political issue.

At that time, Sino-Soviet relations were also deteriorating. China was in a period of domestic and foreign difficulties, but it was unwilling to give up its Hong Kong compatriots.

At the end of 1963, the then Premier Zhou personally instructed: "Every locality has to bear some of the supply to Hong Kong and Macao whenever possible."

Therefore, the state bears the design, construction and all engineering costs of all the projects, which is approximately RMB 35.84 million.

That was more than 35 million in the 1960s. The country’s internal and external difficulties, just after three years of difficult times, more than 35 million is the amount that makes a country hurt.

However, in order for the compatriots to have water to drink, the country has overcome ideological barriers and overcome economic and financial difficulties. The Dongshen Project has officially decided.

The focus of this water supply project is to take water from the Dongjiang River in Qiaotou Town, Dongguan, raise the water 46 meters through artificial river channels and pumping stations, and then redirect it back to the Shenzhen Reservoir, and finally transport it to Hong Kong.

The entire project is equivalent to building a large slide with a height difference of 40 to 50 meters, a span of 83 kilometers, and a huge scale.

British water conservancy experts once went to explore along the route, and said harshly: the completion of the project will take at least three years.

However, the drought in Hong Kong cannot wait three years, or even one year.

In the era of extreme shortage of materials, the central government asked the Ministry of Railways to give priority to the transportation of "Dongshen" materials.

Guangdong Province dispatched more than 20,000 migrant workers to carry out construction work 24 hours a day.

After 6 typhoons, heavy rains and floods, it finally took only 11 months to build this "lifeline" for Hong Kong.

The Dongshen project was officially opened. The fresh water supplied by the Mainland to Hong Kong accounted for 2/3 of Hong Kong's annual water consumption at that time, which greatly eased the water shortage.

On the same day that the Dongjiang water was supplied to Hong Kong, the documentary "The Water of the Dongjiang River Over the Mountains" was screened in Hong Kong. After the broadcast, the audience would stand and applaud.

The Dongjiang River in Qiao Feng's words comes from this documentary.

This popular documentary was one of the best films at the box office in Hong Kong in the 1960s.

It is also the memory of a generation.

Then it's not over yet. In the 1960s and 1970s, Hong Kong's economy ushered in a take-off, and Hong Kong's population exceeded 4 million.

This also means that cities need more fresh water.

From 1965 to 1978, the Hong Kong and British authorities required the mainland to increase water supply.

In order to meet the needs of Hong Kong, the Dongshen Project carried out four large-scale expansions. The central government paid for the project and did not ask for money from Hong Kong.

Therefore, the people of Hong Kong at this time all know one thing, that is, Guangdong, which gives Hong Kong the best water.

Every glass of water Hong Kong people drink contains the deep love of our compatriots for Hong Kong people.

Hong Kong people remember it.

Yes, the people of Hong Kong at this time all remember the love, how after the return, when the relationship should have been brought closer, but so many youngsters have forgotten the love.

Is it because time has passed for so long that people have forgotten it?

No, no, too many Hong Kong people still have not forgotten, they still love the country deeply.

It's just that a small group of twenty-five boys chose to carry their ancestry and forget their ancestors for ulterior purposes.

Thinking of the second and fifth generations of later generations, Qiao Feng was in a bad mood, but he immediately adjusted his mentality and watched President Zhou solemnly said: "President Zhou, I just hope that the country can reasonably use these donations and use them to the best of their needs. Don't let people chill."

"This Mr. Qiao can rest assured. I assure you that all the donations will be used where they should be used. If someone dares to reach out, the government will deal with it strictly and will not tolerate it."
