On March 5, in the promotional activity of the micro-film "Days Always Have Me to Accompany You", 71-year-old film queen Bao Qijing said when talking about the issue of old-age care:
"I don't want to be a burden to the next generation, I don't mind living in a nursing home, I discussed with Yu An'an that I will stay in the same nursing home together and can accompany each other."
Bao Qijing is bao fang's second daughter, her father Bao Fang was born in a wealthy family, has acted in hundreds of movies in his lifetime, directed more than 40 movies and tv series, his younger brother Bao Dexi is a famous cinematographer, and her husband Fang Ping is also a director and producer.
However, such a family can not afford a sick old man, Bao Fang suffered a stroke in filming, and finally regretted his death.
When he died, he had two major regrets, one was that Bao Qijing was not around because of his work, and the other was that he was very poor all his life and did not enjoy happiness.
A generation of TVB veteran drama bones represented by Bao Fang have struggled for the film and television industry all their lives and contributed a large number of excellent film and television works, but they have been poor all their lives, and many people have even become a problem with their pensions, and the desolate situation of the evening scene is sad.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, the next generation can not afford, the pension can only rely on themselves</h1>
Hong Kong's younger generation is facing the "three highs" of high housing prices, high consumption and high pressure, so Bao Qijing's "unwillingness to become a burden to the next generation" is not nonsense.
The data shows that the median income of young people in Hong Kong is 19,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Sounds like that's a lot?
You know, this intermediate wage level corresponds to the high house price at the top of the world.
In 2018, there was a Hong Kong drama called "Yes, Your Excellency the Judge", which had a corner of the life of young people in Hong Kong.
A lawyer who worked as an exchange student in Cambridge, he went to a place similar to a capsule apartment in order to have a private space for himself when renting a house.
You can only lie down in a small room for one person, and the rent is 5500 yuan per month.
And the friend who lived opposite her, because he wanted a table, gave up the window, and there was no sunlight.
But this, too, costs 5500 yuan a month.
So, if it's cheaper, what would it be like to rent an apartment?
Maybe you can only go to live in the "subdivided house", the toilet is connected to the kitchen, and the cooking has to be queued up on the whole floor.
If you want a window, then the price is 3000-3500 yuan.
The cheapest one is the "cage house", which can be rented for 1500 Hong Kong dollars per month.
So, how depressed are young people in such living conditions?
Couples in love, may have to be like the embarrassment shown in "Hong Kong Love Story", or squeeze together in a small bed,
Or go out and open the hourly room to cultivate feelings, and seize the time every second, because it is expensive.
In addition to high housing prices, Hong Kong's prices are also on the global list, and the latest data show that Hong Kong and Singapore are tied for the first place in the global urban cost of living rankings.
If nothing else, just eat.
Find a snack bar with the title of "affordable food" on the Internet, the lowest price of a bowl of noodles is 37 yuan, and the takeaway is also marked next to it plus 14 yuan, and the minimum consumption is 60 yuan per person.
This takeaway fee is enough for the rice sister to eat a takeaway!
Looking at this price, it is easy to understand that the ordinary young generation in Hong Kong is facing the pressure of struggling for a lifetime and may not be able to stand firm, let alone support the elderly.
It is very unfortunate that the data shows that the elderly population over 65 years old in Hong Kong accounts for a high proportion of the total population, with a high longevity rate and serious aging.
Children are unreliable, and there are many elderly people. In such a situation, how to retire is a problem.
Popular science, in Hong Kong's pension system, there is no our five insurances, one gold and one.
In addition to the specific vulnerable groups that can receive ABOUT 1,000 yuan of CSSA after applying for verification, the elderly can only rely on "personal savings and family support" and "mandatory provident fund" to spend their old age.
"Personal savings and family support", as the name suggests, is to rely on their own or family's money to enjoy their old age, this way of providing for the elderly is essentially to have money.
Looking at the whole Hong Kong TVB, relying on their own pension and being able to live very well, most of them have a lot of family foundation.
Like a sister Wang Mingquan, although she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 38 and was found to be sick again at the age of 55, she was able to actively treat her because of her solid family, and did not experience too much trouble in the middle of the way, and finally recovered.
She once posted her 100 Million Marriott Mansion on social platforms, a three-storey independent sea view room with a small garden and an extra-wide balcony.
From time to time, I dry my famous bags on the balcony, tens of thousands, worth nearly a million.
Now 73 years old, she can also be regarded as a long-term upbringing.
However, Wang Mingquan is a solid family after all, most of the TVB's old artists are not in the ranks of this pension method, only the "mandatory provident fund" can try.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, bleak old drama bones</h1>
The so-called "mandatory provident fund" is similar to the mainland's social security, but it is not exactly the same, because the government does not intervene, only mandatory for individuals and enterprises to bear 5%.
This ratio is already very low compared with the ratio of 8% of individuals and 20% of units with five insurances and one gold in our mainland.
Coupled with the meager income of the old drama bones, the money that can be obtained for the pension is even more limited.
In TVB, the signed artists generally implement the "package salary system", the general signed artists a month salary of about 11,000 Hong Kong dollars, some artists even do not have a basic salary, can only rely on the workload to make money, more work.
Even She Shiman, who is the head of Hua Dan, earned only HK$40,000 in TVB tv series in the early years, a difference of nearly 4 times that of the mainland.
And the TVB old drama bones that we are familiar with, when they were young, most of them dominated the screen with supporting roles, and the salary was not high, coupled with the gradual aging, the drama road became narrower, the workload became less, and the income naturally decreased.
When talking about the current situation of TVB, Feng Subo, an old drama bone, said: "No one relies on TVB's salary to support themselves, because they can't feed themselves at all. ”
Chen Honglie, such a classic familiar face, is said to have a salary of only 2600 yuan before his death, and after a sudden heart attack during filming, TVB was unwilling to give a penny of consolation money to his family.
Playing TVB for more than 20 years in supporting roles, the monthly salary of 10,500 is not as good as the salary of the security guard, "the income of the TV station, let alone raising the family, even I can't support myself." ”
Forced by life, he later gave up his dream of being an actor to become a formaldehyde worker.
Even Ren Dahua once revealed that he could not afford to buy a house after 16 years of struggle at TVB, and only bought the first floor in his life in the 17th year.
With low income and poor treatment, how unbearable are the TVB old drama bones in front of life?
In order to raise more than 10,000 yuan a month for his sick daughter, Gu Minghua, who is 57 years old this year, has filmed for up to 56 hours without sleep.
In a long-term high-intensity working state, Gu Minghua was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2016 and did not return to TVB until January last year.
Just two months after returning, he suffered from acute cholecystitis, which could have been cured by taking medicine, but faced with huge drug costs and long treatment, he chose to cut off the entire gallbladder.
He said: "After cutting the gallbladder for two weeks, I'm going to start work. Once the work is not started, it is faced with the dilemma of hand-stopping, relying on savings? How can it be. ”
The 53-year-old Mai Changqing began filming on TVB at the age of 19, but he was also embarrassed to rely on moving goods to support his family.
There is also Qin Huang, the actor of "Old Naughty Boy Zhou Botong" in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", as a 72-year-old man living alone, and now he is forced to stick to the front line of shooting due to life.
However, due to high-intensity shooting, there was no time to eat, physical weakness, and fainted on the TV station, resulting in a fractured shoulder bone and being sent to the hospital for treatment.
What is even more tragic is that Liu Hezhi, an uncle who died suddenly on the street because he could not afford the rent, continued to take the drama before his death, and continued to shoot until the early morning, dying of poverty and fatigue, and was only 64 years old.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >3</h1>
The lament is that this series of practical problems, the Hong Kong government wants to change, but it can not do anything.
Because of the serious fiscal deficit, investment in social welfare institutions and pension institutions is very limited.
According to the data, 6259 elderly people died in Hong Kong during their waiting lists in 2017, a new high in the past five years. By May 2018, 38,000 elderly people were still waiting for government-funded beds, and the problem of old-age care was difficult to solve.
To this day, this problem has not been solved. This is probably why more and more TVB stars choose to go to the mainland to develop.
In any case, I sincerely hope that while dedicating themselves to art, old artists will also take more care of their bodies, so that the quality of life in their later years can be improved and guaranteed.
Really not, you can come to the mainland to try.
