I have a good colleague ah hua at work in Hong Kong, who said her heartfelt words when she was chatting yesterday.
She asked me, do you regret coming to Hong Kong, now the mainland is developing so well, people like our age are either at home with grandchildren, or go out to dance square dance, unlike us who are tired every day and are not as good as dogs.
Ah Hua's parents, whose hometown is Dongguan, Guangdong Province, came to Hong Kong in the 1970s and settled down on a hill in Hong Kong's Tuen Mun district.
Her father worked as a security guard in Hong Kong until he was 75 and did not retire, and one day the administrator asked him to go grocery shopping and came back to ask him to recover some of the money.
Didn't he say the rest of the money had just been given to you? I've given you $5,000 in your pocket!
In fact, there was no such thing, and later found out that he had physical problems, and after the doctor's examination, he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, so he left his job and went home.
Ah Hua's mother works three jobs a day in Hong Kong, all of which are part-time workers.
My first job was to go to the restaurant in the morning as a handyman, help the kitchen wash, cut vegetables, cut meat, make rice, fill the floor with soup, etc.
The second job was to go to the park to clear the grass, cut the branches, spray the medicine, and sweep the various leaves under the ground.
The third job is as a cleaner, cleaning toilets for the property, busy circles every day.
Ah Hua was later applied for by her mother to come to Hong Kong, and only had her first son in the tenth year after marriage, who is 17 years old and studying in Hong Kong.
Just when she was 45 years old, she was inattentive and pregnant with a second child, and the whole family let her give birth, because it is illegal to have a tai under Hong Kong law, so she had a second child, and now the little one is 6 years old.
But the two children are studying in Hong Kong, the father is Alzheimer's disease and have to take care of, but also to work to do long work, his husband is not self-motivated, belongs to the delicious lazy type, do not work every day and do not look at the children, in addition to playing games every night is to sleep.
Ah Hua said that in Hong Kong, in addition to going to work or going to work every day, he lived like a machine, and because the fees for entertainment venues in Hong Kong were several times higher than those in the mainland, there was no entertainment program all year round.
This is not, we both have to go to work on the first day of the New Year, working in Hong Kong, the Spring Festival is at most three days off, the first day, the first two and the third year, the first four have most of the work has been started, the start of the 'profit is' every year the company will give.
Let the family guess how much the company's 'profit' seal can be given in Hong Kong every year? [Laughs]
