Hong Kong Island Old Events

When Gui Lao, the chief clerk, saw a large number of Chinese people gathered outside the door, he immediately realized that something was wrong, called the police station for support, and then sent a Chinese clerk to negotiate. When the Chinese clerk walked out of the rolling shutter door, a large number of flying rocks hit his head and face, causing the clerk's head to bleed and he fainted to the ground.

In panic, the ghost man quickly stepped forward to pull the wounded man back, and then closed the doors and windows.

But the continuous flying rocks smashed all the windows and left the office in a mess. The office staff did not dare to show their heads, so they had to hide behind the wall and wait quietly for the police to arrive. Fortunately, although the villagers were furious, they still remained rational and did not immediately worsen the situation.

When Sham Shui Po Chinese Inspector Choi Siu-kwong arrived at the scene with more than 20 criminal police officers, more than 400 residents of the housing estate had gathered at the scene, mostly young adults and many members of the community. However, Inspector Cai was not afraid in the face of danger. He asked the agents to be on guard with guns and guard the office of the Secretariat. Then he walked in and called the Guilao Secretary, handed out a cigarette and said: "Don't be afraid, go out and have a good time with the villagers." Talk, and report the situation after we finish talking.”

"No matter what the superior boss says or does, the person below him will never be blamed."

"Thank you, sir." Gui Lao's steward was wearing a suit, with sweat dripping from his forehead. His expression was very nervous. He held the cigarette with trembling fingers. Seeing Sir lighting it for him, he nodded gratefully and took another deep breath to calm down his mood.

The rank of the neighborhood affairs chief is not high and he has a lot of money. It is often a good position for senior officials of the Chief Secretary to install their cronies and confidants.

His ability to do things may not be very strong, but he must be loyal to the Hong Kong government.

It is the reach of high-level government orders to the grassroots.

"Go ahead."

"I'll watch it for you."

Cai Zhaoguang smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and accompanied Gui Lao out with several subordinates.

"Apologize!"

"Return the flag!"

"TMD, you dare to even take off our national flag, you should be caught and shot." A middle-aged man who was a veteran of the previous administration and was a black man in Hong Kong Island and the mainland shouted. The scene was very tense for a while, and high-pitched roars echoed through the housing estate.

Gui Lao looked at the crowds of people rushing towards him, and his heart seemed to slow down for two beats. His feet went soft, and his body instinctively took a step back, but he was pushed out by the Chinese detective behind him. The Chinese detective said: "Tongcunmenmen Let’s talk.”

"Whoa whoa."

The ghost guy swallowed twice and opened his mouth, but still didn't know how to speak. Cai Zhaoguang had to raise his hand to signal everyone to stop. The hundreds of people who were obviously extremely angry gradually calmed down after raising his arms.

Cai Zhaoguang raised his head and shouted: "Fellow compatriots and villagers."

"If you have anything to do, you can sit down and talk calmly and slowly. The purser is standing here and can't run away. There is no need for such a big battle, right? Sham Shui Po is my jurisdiction. You should also look at the past. Sell ​​me Zhaoguang thin noodles for two cents."

"Sir Cai."

A dockworker wearing a white shirt with his arms exposed took a step forward and said: "The ghosts prohibit celebrating Double Ten, no activities are allowed, and a curfew is imposed. No problem! Brothers, all obediently follow the instructions, but put the flags Plug it in the roof and hang the badge on the wall.”

"Is this a celebration?"

Cai Zhaoguang sighed: "The governor won't let me."

The worker cursed: "The governor won't let you sleep with your wife, so you won't sleep either? Double Ten is my mother's birthday, what's wrong with the brothers celebrating it? The roof and walls of the building are the private property of the villagers, you can hang whatever you like." "

"The Governor's order is greater than the law!"

Cai Zhaoguang pushed Gui Lao's secretary to the front again and said in a low voice: "Sir, you should say a few words and let the crowd disperse quickly. There are more and more people and the Sham Shui Po criminal police can't stop them. The entire Sham Shui Po has flags. It's not just Li Zhengwu Village, it's impossible to mobilize all the troops."

At this time, behind the crowd, there were already club members passing sticks, weapons, and Molotov cocktails to each other. Gui Lao couldn't see clearly from a distance, but he also knew that there were so many people talking among each other that there must be no good things waiting for him. I wailed twice in my heart and had to step forward and say: "OK!"

"OK!"

"I can return the confiscated flags and badges to you, and compensate the housing estates, and then petition the Governor on your behalf to cancel the night curfew." He raised his arms high and shouted in off-key Cantonese: " Can everyone please disperse first to avoid causing chaos?"

"Sir's sincerity is already there."

Cai Zhaoguang acted as a middleman and shouted: "It would be great if I could return the flag and badge to you. Hurry up and get out of the way. Don't provoke Sir to ask the British army to beat you! When the time comes, I will lead the brothers from the police force. I can’t even resist it!”

"Fuck your mother!" A young man threw a stone, smashed Gui Lao's head, and yelled: "You want you to come to plead guilty? What the brothers did was right, they just hung up the flag and emblem. Celebration! Gui Lao’s words don’t count!”

Cai Zhaoguang quickly raised his arms and shouted: "Stop!"

"Let's talk about it."

"Don't do anything." Cai Zhaoguang firmly grasped Gui Lao's shoulder with his other hand to prevent Gui Lao from fainting to the ground. While wiping the blood with his hands, Gui Lao, the chief clerk, felt a pain in his head and was filled with fear. He eagerly wanted to turn around and hide back in the office, but he was held tightly by the Chinese detective and could not even muster the strength to turn around.

Under the scolding of the police officers, more than 500 Chinese people in famous houses suppressed their emotions. There was even a hint of pleading in Gui Lao's tone, and he said, "What conditions do you have? Tell me, and I can help convey it to the Secretary for Civil Affairs."

A man in his forties with a resolute expression and an upright face stood aside from the crowd. As a representative, he pointed at the Gui Lao of the Affairs Office and said: "Tell Governor Gui Lao that, first of all, let Governor Gui Lao deliver a hanging of 100,000 heads." Firecrackers to celebrate the Double Ten Festival. Secondly, all buildings in Hong Kong are allowed to fly blue flags, badges, and statues of Sun Yat-sen. Thirdly, as a representative of the Hong Kong government, you publish an apology in the newspaper and kneel down and kowtow to the flags and portraits to apologize."

"If you fail to meet any of these three conditions, you are disrespecting our national sentiments. All Hong Kong people will not make it easy for you. By the way. If you don't want to see the blue flag, it's OK for us to fly the red flag. In short, we The Chinese have to fly their own flag and celebrate their own festivals every year! Do you hear that?"

The businessman's face turned pale when he heard this. He knew that the Hong Kong Governor's attitude was firm and he would never compromise with the Chinese. Otherwise, what was the warning order issued by the Hong Kong Governor's Office? The authority's prestige will be greatly reduced and completely lost. But faced with the strong threat from the estate representative, Gui Lao had no choice but to nod and said, "Let me make a phone call."

The Chinese representative did not speak, but Cai Zhaoguang quickly patted his shoulder and said: "Hurry up."

Cai Zhaoguang raised his hand and glanced at his watch. He saw that it was late: "Dear compatriots and fellow villagers, it will take some time to get a reply from the Secretariat. It will be lunch time in a while. Do you want to leave first?" Let's go, go home and have lunch and then come back?"

"Sir, a riot broke out in Tai Po District, New Territories. The reason was that the police discovered that some people were carrying dangerous goods on the streets, which caused chaos during the inspection. More than 300 people gathered in the street in Tai Po District and made two demands. The first is to let The customs will release the criminals arrested last time, and the second is to lift the curfew, and the villagers in Tai Po District will have a Poon Choi feast at night."

Governor's Palace.

Ge Hongliang was wearing a suit and a pocket watch. He was dressed like a gentleman. When he heard that hundreds of people had gathered together just to have a Poon Choi feast, he was very puzzled and asked aloud: "What if the Poon Choi feast is the New Territories?" Customs have nothing to do with the Double Ten event, so it can be allowed."

"As for asking the Customs Department to release criminals, it is absolutely impossible!"

Ifu, wearing a police uniform, tied his hands aside, and replied loudly: "The New Territories villagers hold a Poon Choi banquet for the Double Ten event. According to the report of the Intelligence Bureau, every year the New Territories will hold a Poon Choi banquet on Double Ten. The banquet fee is from Provided by Taiwan Island.”

"Sir, an illegal gathering occurred in the freehold area of ​​Lei Cheng Uk Estate, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon. The cause was that two clerks removed the flags and badges hanging from the building. More than 400 villagers at the scene surrounded the office."

"The Government Affairs Bureau called, and the Chinese on the scene made three demands. First, a firecracker worth 100,000 yuan was sent in the name of the Governor's Office. Second, all buildings in Hong Kong were allowed to fly blue flags, badges, and statues of Zhongshan. Third, Let the District Secretary of the District publish an apology on behalf of the Hong Kong government and kowtow to the flag and portrait to apologize." The Secretary to the Governor walked quickly into the office on high heels and reported the situation in concise language.

Ge Hongliang's expression instantly froze, and he was emotionless. He said indifferently: "We will reject any request made by the Chinese and let the anti-riot troops prepare to suppress illegal demonstrations in Hong Kong. Sir Yifu, I want to see a satisfactory result." Report."

"Yes, sir!"

Ifu stood at attention, saluted, and shouted solemnly.

The Secretary to the Governor watched him turn and leave, knowing that after the incident was handled properly, Ifu would be the next Commissioner of Police. It just so happens that the illegal actions of the Chinese will also be an opportunity for Ifu to prove his abilities. Using the Chinese as a stepping stone to climb up will be the stepping stone for many Hong Kong bureaucrats.

But Ifu walked away from the Governor's Mansion without any excitement on his face. After getting into the car and rushing back to the police station, he just said to his subordinates: "Act according to the planned plan."

"Yes, sir!"

The police force has the will of the police force!

At the same time, the Governor thought for a long time and said: "Ask the Customs Department, Corrections Department, Fire Department, and Auxiliary Medical Team to be prepared. There is a certain amount of police force behind the Chinese triad organization to help, and Ifu may not be able to suppress it. .”

"At the critical moment, all operational personnel from the Customs Department, Corrections Department, and Fire Department should be involved in explosion prevention campaigns."

"yes!"

"Governor."

The secretary nodded and replied, immediately going to convey the order.

At 11 o'clock, more than a thousand Chinese people gathered in front of the Tuji District Affairs Office of Li Zhengwu Village. Most of them had been replaced by ordinary villagers and members of the number gang and Chaoyiyong community. Ordinary villagers did go home to cook and eat, but the club members had just finished their meal and refreshed themselves, and came to the location to gather aggressively.

As the starting point of the movement in Kowloon, Lei Cheng Uk Estate will definitely accompany the Double Ten Operation and leave a mark in the history of the Chinese struggle on Hong Kong Island. It is called the "Lei Cheng Uk Estate Incident" during the Double Ten Operation and has set a new chapter for Hong Kong Island. The incident with the most casualties, the widest involvement, and the greatest influence in history.
