Spring 1947

An enormous cruise ship is driving on the vast sea, and the massive chimney emits thick smoke, and sometimes a loud noise is deafening.

This ship belongs to Swire Pacific Cruises. From Shanghai to Hong Kong Island is just a brief voyage. It may well additionally attain the Philippines, Singapore, Europe and different locations. It’s a true worldwide liner.

From Shanghai to Hong Kong Island, this liner takes about three days to sail, which makes Wu Guangyao begin to miss the aircraft.

Wu Guangyao, wearing a go well with, is tall and straight, standing on the railing on the deck of the cruise ship.

The ocean breeze is blowing on the agency and good-looking face, trying on the limitless sea, with many ideas.

A dream come true?

As a greasy younger and middle-aged within the twenty first century, he has learn a number of on-line novels, and he actually considered going via the circumstances of this sort of factor.

It’s simply that one thing actually occurred, and it took a number of time to get used to it.

Within the twenty first century, I’m a middle-aged individual, with a cheerful household (regrets all the time), profitable careers (simply so-so), and a variety of social interactions (all mates with wine and meat). How about it).

Due to the epidemic state of affairs, the business atmosphere just isn’t good, so Wu Guangyao determined to shut his small mildew workshop and take his household to climb Mount Tai to chill out.

Girls are all the time troublesome, and all the time dislike Wu Guangyao and won’t take footage and look forward to Yunyun alongside the way in which.

Wu Guangyao was merciless and deliberate to discover a tough angle to take a gorgeous picture of this yellow-faced girl who was about to be middle-aged.

The phrases   Forbidden to climb had been ignored by Wu Guangyao. He climbed over the guardrail and stepped on the sting of the cliff.

Wu Guangyao could be very happy together with his work and is planning to ask his spouse for credit score.

I felt slightly dizzy and dazzling once I knew I used to be collectively, after which fell into the cliff as quickly as I retreated.

I don’t know who might be cheaper sooner or later? Will the son change his surname?

That is Wu Guangyao’s final thought!

Wu Guangyao didn’t actually die, however his soul traveled into the physique of a 16-year-old younger man within the Republic of China.

The unique proprietor of    was additionally surnamed Wu, who belonged to the second technology of the Republic of China official who triggered bother and ran away from his hometown of Zhejiang to Shanghai, intending to hunt refuge in his uncle, a rich businessman.

I don’t know, as a result of I don’t have a look at the highway once I stroll, I received caught in a stone on the highway within the suburbs of Shanghai.

Then, Wu Guangyao accepted the physique and a part of the reminiscence easily.

When he arrived at his uncle’s home in Shanghai, Wu Guangyao adjusted to the brand new atmosphere whereas contemplating his future survival.

Every week later, Wu Guangyao borrowed a sum of cash from his uncle within the identify of his mother and father, desiring to run to Hong Kong Island.

As for the rationale?

Naturally, my household just isn’t effectively shaped, however I don’t wish to be transformed, so I can solely proceed to run away.

Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao is not any stranger. It may be stated that he has a really thorough understanding.

As a result of I’m additionally a businessman, I like and admire the rich Hong Kong individuals.

So I typically test info, and picture that in the future I can do a profession like them and return to the motherland.

“Grasp, go in and relaxation for some time, the ocean breeze is so massive, if in case you have one thing incorrect, how can I clarify it to the grasp and madam!”

Wu Guangyao rotated, checked out his skinny little boy, and stated: “Fangge, it might be tough for us to return to the mainland once we go, so what else to speak about!”

Brother Fang stated: “For those who do not return, you will not return. I grew up with the younger grasp. If the younger grasp goes there, I’ll go there!”

Wu Guangyao smiled with out speaking, the previous issues of the previous society are gone!

At first, he was unwilling to pay Brother Fang to depart.

Stated that he had no father and no mom, and he grew to become a savage like no dwelling and not using a grasp.

The 2 then walked into the cabin and returned to their cabin.

With a purpose to guarantee the security of their pocket cash, the 2 selected to squeeze in a sleeping cabin, and Fang Geer might solely hit the ground at night time.

The unique proprietor triggered a disaster. On the suggestion of his mom, he took benefit of his father’s enterprise journey, fled Zhejiang, and went to Shanghai to hunt refuge together with his uncle.

The mom was naturally reluctant to bear the hardships of her son exterior, and gave a number of her personal gold and silver treasures. As well as, Wu Guangyao’s uncle’s home in Shanghai borrowed slightly gold and silver arduous foreign money, so it was thought-about small and rich.

In line with Wu Guangyao’s go to to Shanghai Ocean Financial institution to inquire in regards to the state of affairs, this gold and silver treasure is about 20,000 Hong Kong {dollars}.

At the moment, the month-to-month wage of a clerk or translator on Hong Kong Island is about 50 Hong Kong {dollars}. It may be imagined what a fortune is 20,000 Hong Kong {dollars}.

For that reason, after getting on the liner, Wu Guangyao divided the gold and silver treasures into two elements, and he and Fang Ge’er carried one half every with them to disperse the hazard.

“Grasp, it is time to go to eat, it is nearly darkish!”

Brother Fang is a bit unusual. For the reason that younger grasp was thrown right into a coma, he all the time likes to be alone in a daze.

“Let’s go, be alert always!”

These cash is the important thing to at least one’s personal life and life, and there’s no room for loss, so Wu Guangyao’s consideration has been very focused on the boat.

Once I got here to the restaurant, there have been already many individuals. The 2 had slightly meal and located a nook to eat.

Wu Guangyao was consuming whereas trying on the individuals within the restaurant.

Your entire restaurant is principally an Asian face. Clearly, this liner has a category division, and the foreigners are in all probability within the higher deck.

For those who look intently, you will see that that the general public within the restaurant are Chinese language who work for foreign-funded corporations or businessmen.

After the outbreak of the Nice Battle, rich businessmen with foresight started to flee the mainland. In fact, the height interval will start subsequent yr.

Wu Guangyao could not assist however consider his mother and father on this life, they need to be capable to retreat to Baodao!

In spite of everything, his father was additionally an vital official of the provincial authorities, and he was an vital determine within the Republic of China.

Though there’s not a lot emotion, Wu Guangyao nonetheless plans to ship somebody again to Zhejiang to steer him after he stabilizes his foothold in Xiangjiang later.

“Grasp, so many individuals drag their households to Hong Kong Island. Will Hong Kong Island be very affluent? How does it examine to Shanghai?”

Brother Fang requested curiously, however he had clearly forgotten, and his grasp had by no means been there.

“There must be no affluent Shanghai now, and it must be extra affluent sooner or later! In spite of everything, a secure atmosphere is essential. Apart from, Hong Kong is a robust and established nation, and the alternatives might be even better!”

As quickly as Wu Guangyao completed talking, a voice got here from behind: “Little brother can be optimistic about Hong Kong Island?”

Wu Guangyao hadn’t rotated, the customer had already arrived in entrance of Wu Guangyao. He was a 30-year-old man with a greasy again and a go well with.

“I am sorry, I overheared the dialog between the 2!” The customer stated politely.

“Are you?” Wu Guangyao stated.

“Can we chat collectively? Can I sit right here?” This individual gave the impression to be very eager about Wu Guangyao, with a hopeful expression on his face.

Wu Guangyao feels slightly nervous, he will not meet politicians anymore, he would not wish to be concerned in these issues.

“In fact, please sit down!” Wu Guangyao stated politely, not desirous to grudge with others.

After sitting down, Wu Guangyao deliberate to take the initiative and stated, “My identify is Wu Guangyao. I’ll go to Hong Kong Island to do some enterprise. Who is that this gentleman?”

The customer was clearly greatly surprised, considering that he had met a fledgling scholar!

Unexpectedly, this has no scholar’s youthfulness, however as a substitute offers individuals a sense of full social expertise.

“My identify is Zhao Xi and I work at Jardine Worldwide Co., Ltd. on Hong Kong Island. This time I’ll return to Shanghai to go to my household!”

After the dialog between the 2, Wu Guangyao firmly grasped the initiative, and that every little thing concerned politics, indicating that he had by no means cared about it, and he was simply planning to go to Hong Kong Island to hunt a life.

Even so, Zhao Xi could not assist being stunned secretly. This was clearly solely seventeen or eighteen years previous, however he was very old school in dialog and all the time had a assured expression on his face. This made Zhao Xi look as much as Wu Guangyao.

Earlier than leaving, he left an handle on Hong Kong Island and requested Wu Guangyao to satisfy him for a meal.

For 3 days, Wu Guangyao saved a low profile, solely sometimes exhibiting up within the restaurant, and the remainder within the room.

Wu Guangyao is just 16 years previous, however he wears a mature go well with, so somebody with a coronary heart will all the time assume that he’s a complicated scholar or a world scholar.

Sometimes, somebody approached him and talked about matters that he dared not dare to dare to. They had been all rejected by Wu Guangyao as a result of he was illiterate and didn’t perceive.

Carrying a mature go well with is as a result of Wu Guangyao intends to do enterprise on Hong Kong Island, in order that he can seem like older.

Unexpectedly, it triggered slightly bother, however fortuitously, the foreigners on the liner had been patrolled on a regular basis, in order that they didn’t fear about security.

Assembly Zhao Xi once more, the 2 continued to speak about enterprise and worldwide issues.

Zhao Xi was nonetheless fairly shocked in his coronary heart. This boy who seemed solely seventeen or eighteen years previous, truly knew so many issues.
