The textbook incident came to light at the end of June.
In July, Mainland China's "People's Daily" and South Korea's "Dong-A Ilbo" published articles criticizing the incident. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged a protest with the Japanese government, asking for correction, and it turned into a diplomatic issue.
Hong Kong, Taiwan, North Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc. also joined forces to attack.
Japan stated that it had corrected its mistakes. In September, Prime Minister Suzuki Zenyuki visited China and declared that the textbook issue would be resolved politically and diplomatically... and then did it again in 1986.
Let’s just talk about Hong Kong.
Hong Kong may lick Britain and America, but anti-Japanese resistance is also the main theme, and a large number of Hong Kong movies and TV series focus on fighting the Japanese. When the news was exposed, some newspapers began to protest and denounce, which was small-scale for the time being and has not yet expanded.
The leftist media will naturally be critical.
Chen Qi was different. He ran up and down with a blank piece of paper, looking for signatures from Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Liu Dehua, Zhong Chuhong and others. Everyone didn't know what they were doing, so they signed anyway.
Then he chatted with Fu Qi and returned to the capital.
Before going back, he gave something to someone.
…………
Huang and Lin GG Company.
This is a joint venture between Huang Zhan and his girlfriend Lin Yanni. Each invested 25,000 Hong Kong dollars. After several years of business, the annual turnover has exceeded 100 million, making it one of the top GG companies in Hong Kong.
Lin Yanni is a talented girl from Hong Kong who has written many articles. She was married to Bruce Lee's brother, so she is Bruce Lee's sister-in-law.
There is no need to say more about Huang Zhan, he is like Li Bai in Hong Kong entertainment.
now.
He was sitting in the company handling some affairs, and suddenly an employee came to report: "Mr. Chen sent me something. Do you want to see it?"
"Which Mr. Chen?"
"It's Mr. Chen from Mainland China!"
"oh?"
Huang Zhan opened his mouth wide, showing his thick teeth, and said with a smile: "You think so highly of me, why don't you give me the life and death talisman? Bring it here, bring it here!"
Not long after, the two of them brought a big box and put it on the table with difficulty.
It was different from what I imagined. The bright red gift box was beautifully packaged and decorated with Chinese knots. It didn't look like a talisman of life and death.
Huang Zhan frowned and opened it casually. He first saw five bottles of wine, one bottle of Maotai, one bottle of Wuliangye, one bottle of Fenjiu, two bottles of Shaoxing rice wine, and a set of porcelain wine sets, including a wine bottle and a wine cup.
There is also a small embroidery ornament, embroidered with the pattern of Lingnan lychee.
Huang Zhan touched it and knew that it was an embroiderer from Guangzhou Embroidery - his hometown is in Panyu, Guangzhou. On the base of the ornament, there was a red note inserted diagonally.
"elegant!"
"Very elegant!"
He raised his Crayon Shin-chan style thick eyebrows, opened the letter, and read it again, but the smile on his face slowly faded.
Chen Qi's life and death talisman is well known in Hong Kong, and Huang Zhan is no exception. I was very excited when I received this. I wanted to see what tricks the other party was playing, but there was nothing. The words in the letter were sincere and every sentence was true.
Carelessly saying that Japan is ambitious and maliciously tampering with textbooks in an attempt to distort history and obliterate the blood and tears of our 40 million compatriots in the War of Resistance is unacceptable. We should put aside our differences for the time being and speak unanimously to the outside world.
Invite Huang Zhan to write a patriotic-themed Mandarin song.
However, he has business to return to the mainland and cannot come in person. When he comes to Hong Kong next time, if possible, he will have a drink and talk.
"..."
Huang Zhan read it twice and suddenly snorted: "I just invite songs when I invite them. If you do this, you are looking down on me, Mr. Huang. How can I not respond?!"
He called his assistant and said, "Tell me, I'll take over the song!"
"OK!"
He is not free now and continues to be busy with work.
In the evening, I went out to drink with my friends again. I went home late at night, lay down on the sofa drunkenly, and turned on the TV. News about tampering with textbooks was playing on the TV...
"You are ambitious and will never repent!"
He was also very angry about this matter and needed to express his emotions. He cursed loudly. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. After brewing for a while, he picked up the brush and brushed it. It only took 30 minutes to complete a poem and finally wrote the song title:
"My Chinese Heart"!
Huang Zhan took the gift bag given during the day and played with the five bottles of wine without even looking at it. He wanted to open it and drink some, but he had no choice but to give up because there was no food or drinks.
Finally, I stroked the embroidery ornament.
"Lychee from Lingnan!"
He was so drunk that he fell asleep.
…
Hong Kong people have various positions, including those who are pro-British, pro-American, pro-Taiwan, pro-mainland, and those who pursue Greater Hong Kongism and pursue Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong.
There is another type that recognizes Chinese identity and traditional culture, but is biased against the red color of mainland China. Huang Zhan is the representative figure. Even though he wrote "My Chinese Heart", he himself admitted that this kind of patriotic sentiment Very vague.
What he longed for in the early days was "Western-style freedom and democracy." In the early 1990s, he joined some relatively sensitive organizations, but soon quit because he found that those people were even more unreliable and shouted about freedom and democracy. What they are doing is not free and democratic...
In addition to this reason, our united front work is also very important.
At that time, Cui Songming, director of the Culture and Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, had an in-depth talk with Huang Zhan. Only then did Huang Zhan's attitude begin to change, and in 1994 he served as the "Hong Kong Affairs Advisor" appointed by the mainland.
By the way: At this time, leader Xu had already fled to the United States...
Even more in 2002, Huang Zhan unequivocally supported Article 23 of the Basic Law.
Yes, Article 23 was about to be enacted at that time, but unfortunately it was blocked by many obstacles and failed. It was not until the "riots" in Hong Kong that Article 23 was finally passed.
When Chen Qi is in Hong Kong, he usually makes jokes, but in fact he really wants to unite the front.
People like Liu Dehua and Zhong Chuhong are not very educated, so it is easy to win them over. People like Huang Zhan are the most difficult because they have to change his mind.
Chen Qi did not go to meet directly, but only invited songs through letters and took his time.
This song "My Chinese Heart" was written by Huang Zhan and composed by Wang Fuling. Wang Fuling is also a great master. His representative works are "Take Care of Tonight", "Nanping Evening Bell", "No Love", "Sweet Words"...
He wanted to get the song out first and give it to Andy Lau and Zhang Mingmin to sing.
Zhang Mingmin is a good guy, and he doesn't want to waste the opportunity of prostitution.
Chen Qi did not copy the songs himself. The value of a song of this nature will be higher if it is composed by Hong Kong people, and the mainland will pay more attention to it.
…………
"Didi!"
At the Capital Airport, a car parked on the side of the road. Li Hanxiang came to pick him up in person. He laughed and hugged Chen Qi: "How are you doing, little friend?"
"I went to Cannes to show off and won another award."
"Cannes? Not bad, not bad!"
Li Hanxiang patted him and turned to his daughter and Liang Jiahui. Liang Jiahui was very nervous and said hurriedly: "Hello, uncle!"
"Well, with a long-tongued man like Archie, you must know that I have asked you to film a movie. You are short on time and have heavy tasks. First, read the book I gave you, and then go to Inner Mongolia to learn horse riding!"
"Inner Mongolia?" Liang Jiahui was confused.
"Wow, you are blessed! The men in the prairie are mighty and majestic, the galloping horses are like the wind, and the endless wilderness is free for you to roam! Go and be happy!"
Chen Qi said sarcastic remarks and asked everyone to get in the car.
The journey was uneventful. We first arrived at the Overseas Chinese Hotel where Li Hanxiang was staying. He invited Chen Qi to come and sit. Chen Qi was too lazy to move and smiled at Liang Jiahui: "Did you see those four words? The Overseas Chinese Hotel is just for you. I am here. You can't even let me in."
"ah?"
"Ah, what, just get used to it. In two days you will know what meat tickets and meal tickets are, and Liu Xiaoqing, be careful."
Chen Qi waved his hand, got in the car and went directly back to Lechunfang.
