It was already eight o 'clock in the evening, when all the houses in Hong Kong were brightly lit.
Ah Kang nimbly jumped out of the minibus that had just stopped at the platform, rushed forward a few steps, jumped to the sidewalk, and then walked quickly to his home.
Ah Kang had just graduated from college this year. At present, he was working in a trading company, doing the import and export of digital equipment. He did not go to a famous university and had no energy for work, so now he was mainly learning to be an assistant.
The work was very hard. He had to go to work at six o 'clock in the morning and go home at seven or eight o' clock in the evening. The salary was very low, and he had to do all kinds of chores. It was very undignified to be ordered around by the boss.
But Ah Kang was a very optimistic boy. He worked very hard and studied very hard. He looked forward to the day when he could open a small company and buy a big house for his family. His dream was a villa.
Ah Kang's home was in Da Wai, Sha Tin. A 50-square-meter house accommodated three generations of six people.
The so-called HOS referred to the low-cost housing built by the Hong Kong government in the 1970s under the "Home Ownership Plan", which was equivalent to the affordable housing in the mainland. The price was 30% to 40% lower than that of similar commercial housing. It was mainly sold to public housing tenants and qualified low-and middle-income residents.
This 50-square-meter HOS was bought by Ah Kang's grandparents with their life savings.
After returning home, Ah Kang opened the door with the key.
His mother, who was cleaning in the kitchen, heard the noise and poked her head out. She asked, "Kang, have you had dinner?"
Ah Kang nodded and said, "Yes, I have. I'm going to my room."
His mother looked at his back as he hurried into the room and shook her head.
Although the house was very small, in order to meet the living needs of the family, it was still divided into three rooms, one for his grandparents, one for his parents, and one for him and his sister.
There was no other way. Although Ah Kang was already an adult and his sister was in high school, this HOS was very good compared with many families who lived in public housing or even cage houses.
In the future, when his sister got married, he could marry a wife and live with her.
Dreams were beautiful, but the real life had to go on.
His sister was sitting at the desk copying homework. Ah Kang did not disturb her. He sat on his bed and turned on the small LCD TV hanging on the wall.
Ah Kang bought the TV with his first salary so that he wouldn't have to fight with his family over the TV. He liked movies and TV dramas. He also liked pop music and surfing the Internet.
Now that the computer was occupied by his sister, Ah Kang had no other choice but to watch TV.
Most importantly, there were programs that he wanted to watch at night.
Beep!
Just as he turned on the TV with the remote control, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang twice.
Ah Kang took out his phone and looked at it. It was a message from Xiaowei, asking if he had arrived home.
Ah Kang quickly replied, "I'm home. I just turned on the TV."
Xiaowei replied very quickly: ATV Variety Channel, 8: 30 pm 'Entertainment Three People Talk'.
Ah Kang couldn't help but smile. His fingers moved quickly. Understood!
Xiao Wei was a girl he was pursuing. She was a clerk in another company. Although she was not very beautiful, she could be considered delicate and charming. She had no lack of pursuers.
Ah Kang knew that his family was ordinary and his conditions were ordinary. He didn't really expect to win her favor.
However, by chance, Ah Kang discovered a little secret of Xiao Wei, and then the two unexpectedly started dating. Although it was far from the level of boyfriend and girlfriend, it was enough to become a happy thing in Ah Kang's life.
Xiao Wei liked music and singing very much. She often went to Lan Kwai Fang Bar with her friends to listen to songs. Her common ID on the Internet was Viviani.
Isn't it a nice name?
Xiao Wei recently fell in love with a young artist from the Mainland, and tonight, the artist would appear on the ATV Variety Channel's "Entertainment Three People Talk" program.
Not only did she want to watch it herself, but she also wanted her friends to watch it together. Ah Kang was no exception.
He exchanged text messages with Xiao Wei. The long advertisement before the start of the program had no effect on Ah Kang. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. "Entertainment Three People Talk" started on time at 8: 30 pm.
First, the familiar opening music and the familiar program logo were played. The camera quickly turned to the host.
Ah Kang was no stranger to the ATV Variety Channel's "Entertainment Three People Talk", especially the host, Shen Shuling. When he was still in primary school, she was already active on the screen and looked very kind.
"Welcome to" Entertainment Three People Talk "…"
The dignified and beautiful Shen Shuling smiled at the camera, and the two guests sat on her left and right.
"Who is this? He's so handsome! "
Ah Kang couldn't help but turn his head at the sudden sound. He saw his sister standing beside him, staring at the TV screen with glowing eyes.
Ah Kang knew who she was asking about and explained, "Lu Chen, an artist from the Mainland. He sings very well. Have you heard the song" The Love of My Life "?"
He looked at Lu Chen on the screen. Although he was a little unhappy, he had to admit that Lu Chen was really handsome.
There were many handsome young artists in Hong Kong, but this artist from the Mainland had a special temperament.
Ah Kang couldn't tell, but he felt that he was different from other stars.
"Is this song sung by him?"
His sister suddenly understood and sat beside him to watch the program together.
High school was very busy. If she wanted to go to a good university, she had to work hard. Ah Kang's sister usually didn't have much time to play or watch TV or surf the Internet, because her goal was to surpass her brother.
But she had also heard the song "The Love of My Life".
"First of all, let's welcome Lu Chen. He comes from the Mainland and is currently shooting a movie in Hong Kong …"
"He is also shooting a movie?"
His sister's surprise made Ah Kang even more unhappy. If he had known this, he would not have turned on the TV.
But in this way, he and Xiaowei would lose an important topic, and maybe they would be put into another book by the other party.
The program continued.
No one knew if it was specially arranged by the TV station. At the beginning of the program, another guest, Zhuang Dong, attacked Lu Chen and asked several sharp questions, mainly about the pop music of Hong Kong.
His sister was indignant. "Why is he like this? If he has the ability, he should write a good song! "
In the face of Zhuang Dong's attack, Lu Chen dealt with it calmly and confidently.
Lu Chen praised the great contribution of Hong Kong pop music to the Chinese music world, and also pointed out the common problems faced by pop music at present. He hoped that more talented musicians could emerge in the music world and reproduce the glory of Chinese music together.
The watertight answer made Zhuang Dong's attack in vain. Perhaps he realized that this problem was not difficult for Lu Chen, so he quickly changed the topic to Hong Kong movies and the film support policies of the Hong Kong government.
