Chapter 519 The gap between the rich and the poor is huge!

On one side are the ordinary class who have no place to live and can only live in cage houses, and on the other side are the Hong Kong wealthy class who live in mid-level villas with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters.

It can be said that it is like two worlds.

There are many cage houses like this not only in Kowloon Walled City, but also in Kowloon and the New Territories, especially in places like Sham Shui Po in the 1980s and after the 1990s.

"Mr. Lai, how much does it cost per month for you to live here?"

"It used to be 10 Hong Kong dollars a month, then it rose to 20 Hong Kong dollars, and now it has risen to 80 Hong Kong dollars a month. It will continue to rise in the future. If it rises again, we won't know where to move to."

According to the current per capita income in Hong Kong, the per capita income ranges from more than 1,000 to several thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Yang Ming doesn't know what kind of income these old people earn in the Kowloon Walled City. However, they live in cage houses and earn HK$80 a month, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the monthly salary of ordinary people, which is not low.

"Mr. Lai, have you ever thought about moving out of here?"

"I even dream of it, but after I go out, there won't be such a cheap place elsewhere." Lai Guowen was helpless.

When they were young, they had little income and no need to think about pensions.

Many of these people may be from illegal backgrounds. When they were young, they worked day by day to make money. If they had any extra money, they would send it back to their relatives in their hometown.

"Then where is your hometown?"

"People from Doumen, my hometown, first smuggled themselves to Haojiang, and from Haojiang to Xiangjiang, thinking that there would be better development here in Xiangjiang, but my whole life passed like that."

Doumen?

Yang Ming remembered that the place belonged to Zhucheng and was indeed very close to Haojiang River.

Some people smuggled to Haojiang first and then to Xiangjiang.

"Do you know about the changes in your hometown?"

"I used to correspond with my hometown by letters, but now I don't know."

Lai Guowen may not know that Zhucheng in China has been circled by the old man and will be one of the special economic zones. It should still be able to develop in the future.

According to Lai Guowen's situation, he should have been smuggled in very early.

"Then do you still want to go back?"

"Mr. Yang, I can't go back to my hometown."

Lai Guowen shook his head.

In the early years, you might have wanted to go back, but how could you possibly go back now?

I can't go back to my hometown. Nowadays, the situation here is like this. In addition, I am getting older. I am afraid that I can't see the hope of the future. I can only live one day at a time.

"Mr. Lai, what do you want to change?"

Yang Ming is Sir Yang and a Justice of the Peace.

This time he originally wanted to see if he could change the situation of the people in Kowloon Walled City.

To the Governor's Mansion, these people are people who have given up long ago, and I am afraid no one will care about them.

"Sir Yang, I'm afraid you can't help us."

They came to Xiangjiang smuggled to develop in order to live a good life. Now Yang Ming also saw their situation.

"Mr. Lai, maybe Sir Yang can help you." Zhou Kaixuan said.

Zhou Kaixuan herself comes from a lower-class background, and of course she also knows the cage houses where these people live.

There are too many of these people in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories.

According to Zhou Kaixuan's understanding, from the perspective of those real estate developers, it is absolutely impossible for them to solve the problems for these people.

Because the vast majority of real estate developers, and even the wealth of the rich in Xiangjiang, come from the high housing prices in Xiangjiang.

So much so that when Yang Ming announced the cancellation of the shared area this time, an alliance to preserve the shared area still appeared in Xiangjiang. It is obvious that the real estate developers jointly opposed the cancellation of the shared area.

So in this case, they are not even willing to give up the benefit of the shared area. How can they consider these ordinary people in Xiangjiang who cannot afford to buy a house or rent a better house?

The residents living in cage houses in Kowloon Walled City not only represent the residents in Kowloon Walled City, but also represent a large part of the people in Hong Kong.

These people are among the most difficult people to live in Xiangjiang.

"If possible, I hope that when I sleep, I can lie down straight so that I don't feel very painful when I wake up the next day."

In other words, these are the requirements of Lai Guowen.

"what about you?"

Soon, Yang Ming learned that these people were all like this.

They just hope that when they come back from work, they can lie down and rest like they did in their hometown.

Yang Ming nodded.

The demands of these people are not difficult to achieve, nor are they difficult to achieve.

Yang Ming did not stay.

Lai Guowen personally sent Yang Ming down.

Yang Ming and Zhou Kaixuan had just reached the corner of the stairs when a mouse suddenly rushed out of nowhere, frightening Zhou Kaixuan.

Even though Zhou Kaixuan was from an ordinary class, her family life was still much better than here. A big rat jumping out would really scare her as a woman.

Seeing the other person hugging his waist in fear, Yang Ming knew that the other person was only twenty years old.

Coming out from above.

Zhou Kaixuan still feels that these places are really not suitable for people to live in.

"Boss, be careful, the alley ahead is leaking."

Yang Ming had already seen a lot of water dripping down the alley.

It's not a rainy day now, the environment inside is destined to be like this.

The ground has always been wet. Apart from a lot of moss mixed with other plants, I don't know what kind of small insects are inside.

People passing by had to walk with umbrellas to prevent slippery roads and falls.

Zhou Kaixuan and others have opened their umbrellas.

Yang Ming and Zhou Kaixuan held umbrellas.

In the darkness, as I walked towards the alley ahead, I suddenly saw a few gangster-looking young people trading something or other somewhere.

"Hey, why is there a note here?"

The gangsters with dyed hair immediately looked different when they saw the sirs in police uniforms behind Yang Ming.

Many times, Sirs in the New Territories and Kowloon basically give up if a suspect is found to have entered the Kowloon Walled City. In other words, there is usually no Sir here at all.

Those little gangsters didn't hide away, they were still there trading something.

Yang Ming didn't need to ask, he could guess it.

I originally wanted to go to the front to have a look, but soon learned that I couldn't go any further.

"Sir Yang, the front is a restricted area, they won't let us pass anymore."

Originally, Sir Yang had been visiting Kowloon Walled City for three or four hours and had completed his mission. Sir Yang seemed to have not stopped yet.

As for the so-called restricted areas they are talking about, they are places designated by members of the community to prohibit other people from entering and activities. Even the residents of Kowloon Walled City may not be able to go there.

In that case, of course Yang Ming would never go there again.

"Then let's go."

Leave from another place.

Many people had been looking at Yang Ming just now.

When they saw Sir Yang leaving, those people also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Sir Yang's status is different, whether it is with the country or with London, if they really mess with Sir Yang, they know that they will be dead.

Sir Yang didn't come again, so they relaxed.
