Chapter 1328 Heaven or Hell (first update, please subscribe)
There is heaven and there is hell, at least to a certain extent, Hong Kong Island is, on the surface, Hong Kong, with its glittering lights, tall buildings, and busy traffic. There are countless beautiful girls, and there is entertainment and entertainment.
However, there is another side here - many people who have just arrived in Hong Kong Island can only live in iron cages in warehouses. The iron cages they live in are divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The size can only accommodate an adult bending over,
but even here, people still have some hope!
“Did you find the ship?”
As soon as Lin Kang returned to the cage, people surrounded him and asked:
"Ship, is there a boat willing to take us there?"
Nodding, Lin Kang said:
“I found it, but the price is very expensive,”
“How much is it?”
He stretched out a finger and said:
“1,000 yuan!”
In an instant, everyone became mute, 1,000 yuan, for those of them living in cage houses That said, it is indeed a huge sum of money.
People who were still looking forward to it all sighed, and some people muttered:
“I have 1,000 yuan, do I still need to go to Nanyang?”
While people were muttering there, a guy on the side who had just finished smoking said:
"Nanyang, what's wrong with Nanyang? There's not even big smoke in that place, how can it compare?" Go to Hong Kong Island..."
But his words were met with blank stares from the people around him. Everyone knew how good Nanyang was - Nanyang was like paradise.
Whether they watched it on TV or in the movies, what appeared in front of them was a paradise-like Nanyang. Because of this, I don’t know how many people dream of Nanyang every day.
Nanyang in the dream... has everything!
But not everyone can go to Nanyang, especially those of them who smuggled themselves out from the mainland.
“If you want to apply for an expat certificate, you must at least graduate from college.”
“So what if you graduate from college, they don’t recognize mainland academic qualifications...”
In your case During the conversation, Lin Kang's eyes became extremely determined. He looked at the fellow villagers beside him and said:
"1,000 yuan is a lot, but as long as we make up our minds, we will definitely succeed." Can overcome all difficulties and achieve victory..."
Chen Hui on the side said:
"Akang is right, as long as we make up our mind, we will definitely be able to go to Nanyang!"
Under Lin Kang's encouragement, several people finally returned to Nanyang. Find a glimmer of hope.
A few months later, Lin Kang and his party finally embarked on a journey to Nanyang - a small fishing boat. The fishing boat headed south, looking at the vast sea, Lin Kang seemed a little excited, and even shouted:
"Nanyang, I'm coming..."
As soon as his voice fell, Chen Hui and others also shouted, and for a while the deck was filled with shouts.
However, the boat boss just glanced at them quietly, and then silently drove the boat towards the destination. The boat headed southeast. Three days later, it arrived at the southern part of Palawan Island, where , they changed to a fishing boat, and they will take the boat to Nanyang from here.
Palawan Island has always been the first stop for stowaways from the Southeast Asian countries. I don’t know since when, stowaways gathered here by boat before entering the Southeast Asian countries.
“Tonight, we will be able to reach Nanyang!”
Lin Kang said excitedly:
"It's only more than a hundred kilometers from here to the South China Sea. I've seen the map!"
Just as they expected, that night, the fishing boat took them to a coast in North Borneo. For these smugglers, They naturally know that those coasts are inaccessible and suitable for stowaways to disembark.
Soon Lin Kang and his party came ashore. After landing, not long after, they saw a road that was not very spacious. Lin Kang said:
"Okay, comrade Everyone, from now on, we will disperse and see you again if we are destined to!”
The reason why we disperse is because a group of more than a dozen people is too conspicuous.
After changing their clothes, the group of people looked at each other and said goodbye:
"Take care!"
"Take care!"
Soon they were in groups of two or three. They parted ways, and Chen Hui followed Lin Kang, who were high school alumni. What is different from usual is that Chen Hui is wearing a Nanyang skirt and even light makeup. This is of course a disguise to deceive the police who may encounter her. As for Lin Kang, he was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and he looked no different from the Nanyang people.
If there is one thing, it is that they always cast their eyes into the distance from time to time. Finally, after walking along the road for almost four hours, they finally saw a bus stop.
"Akang, look, this bus stop looks like a light bulb..."
Chen Hui said a little strangely:
"How can the bus stop be built like this?"
"It does look a bit like it. Who knew? It would be such a waste to build a bus stop like this in such a remote place!"
Looking at the decorative paintings in the bus stop, Lin Kang looked like He said as if he was thinking of something:
"By the way, Ah Hui, you went to university, do you speak English?"
"The university no longer teaches English, only Russian. Why do you think of asking this?"
>"I heard that in Nanyang, if you apply for overseas assignment, not only will the salary be high, but you will be promoted quickly, but you must know English when you go abroad."
Looking at Lin Kang, Chen Hui said:
“You are talking about the company.”
"Yeah."
"We don't have academic qualifications and can't get into the company. It would be good if we could get into the factory... Look, it seems that a car is coming."
At this moment Yuan Yuan The car lights at the top made Chen Hui happily say:
“Look, is it a bus!”
She was dumbfounded!
Chen Hui and Lin Kang sitting in the car were completely... confused.
How could this happen?
Looking at the soldiers wearing helmets and camouflage uniforms in the car, Lin Kang still doesn’t know what happened.
They just stopped a car, but who would have thought it was a military vehicle.
The car was full of Nanyang soldiers, and then they were invited to get in the car.
But they didn't sit for long. After ten minutes, they got off the car. When they got off, the officer leading the team looked at the couple, pointed to the train station not far away and said:
< br>"The train station is just ahead. Well, good-bye, have a nice journey!" "Have a nice journey."
Chen Hui, who watched the military vehicle leave, said:
" It seems different from what is written in the newspaper!”
"What?"
"I mean they are different from what is in the newspaper."
Following Chen Hui's gaze, Lin Kang muttered:
"Hong Kong Island is still in dire straits, but there are people swimming there every day..."
Soon, they got on the train and took the bullet train to Chang'an. When the train's speed exceeded 200 kilometers, Lin Kang and Chen Hui Wu looked out of the car window in surprise.
"This car is so fast!"
"Just like in the movie..."
"Don't talk, don't talk, don't act like a country bumpkin, you will be exposed..."< br>
Despite what they said, Lin Kang and Chen Hui could not help but be surprised by everything that was presented to them.
Especially after arriving in Chang'an, even though they had seen the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, they were still stunned by the city in front of them when they walked out of the station,
The two people were stunned, just looking outside the train station - the spacious street was full of busy cars.
“This, is this Nanyang?”
Chen Hui said in shock:
“It looks more lively than Central.”
“It’s even better here. It’s just a station…”
Passengers were constantly coming and going around them. Occasionally, someone would look at them once or twice, and then they hurried on their way. No one seemed to notice them here.
“It seems we are at the right time.”
Feeling the bustling city, Lin Kang said excitedly:
“Okay, we have finally arrived in Nanyang. Ah Hui, we will definitely live in a big house like the Nanyang people in the future!"
His words made Chen Hui curse.
"Go, A'kang, you can live there by yourself, who are we!"
Being on the streets of Nanyang, Chen Hui's eyes were full of longing and she said:
"I want to go to the ball to dance freely, wear the most beautiful dress, and no longer have to work overtime in the factory..."
At this time, they seem to have countless longings for the future. It seems that as long as they come to this land, a better life will open to them.
Now, they don’t even know what is waiting for them!
"Have you found a job?"
It was only two days and he had just returned home from a walk outside. Lin Kang looked at Chen Hui who was making noodles and shook his head helplessly.
“I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to find a job in Nanyang. I went to several restaurants, and even if they offered me only half the salary, they were unwilling to hire me. They just kept urging me to leave, and even asked me to leave. Threaten to call the police! Really, don’t those people know that hiring me can save half of their wages?”
Listening to Lin Kang’s complaints, Chen Hui was neither disappointed nor emotionally disturbed. It's normal for black laborers to not be able to find a job here.
“Here, let’s eat the noodles first!”
Chen Hui handed the bowl to Lin Kang.
In the past, the delicious instant noodles had no taste in Lin Kang's mouth. When he was in Hong Kong Island, he heard many stories about Nanyang and many stories about getting rich, including " "Instant noodles", this kind of instant noodles is an invention of a Nanyang man.
About seven or eight years ago, "Braised Beef Ramen" was officially launched. This kind of instant noodles quickly became a popular product, and this was the first thing Rin Kang and the others ate after arriving in Hong Kong Island. The delicious food that impressed them the most. It was from that time that he made up his mind to go to Nanyang.
Now that they have come to Nanyang, instant noodles are the cheapest food they can eat.
"What are those people thinking in their heads..."
Lin Kang's words were full of complaints.
"Tell me. Why are those capitalists unwilling to take advantage of us! Our labor is so cheap!"
The tone is full of complaints, but the expression is full of confusion. After all, When I was on Hong Kong Island, what the capitalists there liked most was to hire them - their wages were low and they worked hard. For a job, they not only take the initiative to lower their salary, but are even willing to work overtime for free, as long as they are willing to hire them.
But everything changed when he arrived in Nanyang - those people seemed unwilling to take advantage and would not give him a chance at all, even if he said he only wanted half of his salary!
“It’s not that I don’t want to take advantage, but it’s because of the law.”
Holding the bowl, Chen Hui walked to the wooden table, sat down and said.
“Because hiring black laborers will lead to imprisonment for the crime of “slavery”!”
In the past few days, Chen Hui has learned about the differences in Nanyang. The crackdown on illegal workers is beyond imagination.
Slavery!
Not only does this mean going to jail, but it also takes several years!
"Jail? I'm willing to work for them. One is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer. What kind of law have I broken!"
Lin Kang complained:
"This place in Nanyang is so unreasonable, even like this He has to take care of everything, even spitting..."
Perhaps because he has never found a job, so in his eyes, the aura of paradise in Nanyang is fading. After all, paradise No matter how good it is, it belongs to someone else. He doesn't even have a job.
Chen Hui said:
"Don't think so much. I still have some money here. It's enough for us to survive for a few more days. Maybe we can find a job later. Let's eat first!"
Lin Kang nodded and started to eat. Instant noodles, while eating, he said:
"No wonder this is a paradise for capitalists" , without employment agencies, we can’t even find a job. Those capitalists control everything of the poor. Without them, the poor deserve to starve to death..."
Lin Kang ate mechanically, But my mind was thinking about other things - how to break the blockade and find a job.
While eating, I took a look at the room - it was an apartment. They lived on the street for two days before they met a kind man. Under his "guidance", they entered the apartment. , settled down here.
There are many such apartments in Nanyang. Single people or newlyweds who once lived here have slowly moved to residential areas. Many apartments have become idle, and this also gives them a place to live.
Of course, they can't stay there for long. After all, these unmanned apartments are patrolled by people. However, basically as long as they pay attention, they don't have to worry about being exposed. At worst, they will change places every few days.
“Really, such a nice house is just idle!”
Lin Kang couldn’t help complaining,
“Yes, in China, even if it is eight Level cadres may not live in such a good place..."
"Okay, okay, isn't this Nanyang..."
Yes, this is Nanyang, a place they thought was a paradise, but after coming here, they found that this was just someone else's paradise, maybe even It will still be their hell...
