Chapter 36 "Punishment" out of the Manchuria rules?

It doesn't take much time for mainlanders to come to Hong Kong, and there are not many who don't bow their heads and admit defeat: It seems that Hong Kong is still more civilized than our mainland.This judgment is not for a certain gentleman or a lady, but for the overall quality of citizens. Also facing "laws and regulations", Hong Kong people only know "implementation" in their heads and don't think about other things; however, not all mainlanders are so "honest". After the New Year's Day in 2007, to be precise, from January 1, 2007, Hong Kong and many cities in the mainland began to implement new legislation. Motorcycles (motorcycles) are then prohibited from continuing on the road.I read the news. At the same time, some Hong Kong citizens who do not welcome the new "no-smoking law" in Hong Kong will only complain with their mouths. For example, the owner of a small restaurant said: "My business is much less today. But none of us dared to ignore the existence of laws and regulations; but when the camera changed, when we arrived in Guangzhou, some people were driving motorcycles on the road, and the police stopped them on the road. All of a sudden, he whizzed past the policeman——

So why are Hong Kong people more law-abiding and polite than mainlanders generally? Are the people here born with good qualities?They are born with "official devices"?Of course I don't believe it. Since Hong Kong's "rules" are nets, which have longitude and latitude, and square and radius, people always weave it one by one.Who weaved this "net"?Of course it is management and the rule of law. The "law" has clearly told everyone "how you should behave and act in Hong Kong" at the legislative stage. They are all well-regulated. Isn’t Happy Valley, where our CCTV Hong Kong reporter station lives, a “noble residential area”?Although the houses here are unremarkable in appearance, it is true that many rich people and entertainers live in this area.People walk on the street on weekdays, you can't tell where their faces are "noble", but the dogs they hold in their hands are all famous dogs.Every family goes out to walk their dogs in the evening. Everyone holds a bottle of mineral water and a roll of newspapers, but they don’t drink or read.For a long time, I wondered: Why do people who raise dogs in Hong Kong have the same "problem"?Later, as time went by, I realized that everyone was abiding by the law. Mineral water and newspapers were reserved for puppies—if someone’s dog urinated on the sidewalk, the owner would immediately unscrew the cap of the mineral water bottle and use water to urinate. Flush away the urine; if the dog poops, the owner must immediately put the newspaper under the "baby dog"'s buttocks, before waiting, the shit has already come out, sorry, master, you have to squat on the ground and put the shit out by yourself Squeeze it up, wrap it in paper, and then find a place to dispose of it.

In 2005, I lived in Hong Kong for 8 months and went back to Beijing for the first time. Beijing is a city I know and love, but it was a bit difficult for me to adapt to it at that time, because one day I saw such a scene on the road : A driver was driving a large truck. The car was stuck in the road. He had phlegm in his mouth. He didn't care about anything. He just opened the door and gulped it down.This incident surprised me. The "surprise" is not how the driver spit in the middle of the road so naturally?It was me, who could no longer tolerate this behavior, which was so commonplace in the past, neither psychologically nor physically.

Also in 2005, a colleague of mine returned to the Mainland for vacation and returned to Hong Kong before the vacation was over. I asked him, "Why don't you finish your vacation at home?" Shaking his head: "Hi! How should I put it? In the Mainland, during these 19 days, I traveled from one place to another, but whenever I asked for help, I almost never saw a good-looking face!" The "rules" in Hong Kong are "regulated" by legislation, and they are also "managed" by punishment—— In January 2006, when I was in Causeway Bay, I heard a familiar local accent on the street. After following the sound, it turned out that it was three Beijingers who were arguing with two uniformed men.Listening carefully, one of them was being fined by the sanitation staff for throwing a cigarette butt on the ground because he didn't have a "concentrator".I feel pity in my heart, and I want to find an opportunity to intercede for them, but how can there be "intercession" in Hong Kong's "rules"?The man in uniform asked me to help translate while making records: "Hurry up and tell your friend that you have to go to the post office to pay the fine in Hong Kong. Please tell him not to overdue, otherwise it will be bad for him and he will be recorded. , I will be in trouble when I come to Hong Kong in the future.” I thank the “uniform” for the reminder, but the amount of the fine can’t be changed, 1500 is 1500.The three Beijingers stood there, especially the one who was punished, with unclear colors on their faces.Perhaps in Hong Kong, this is the first time he has encountered such "unlucky things", and perhaps in Beijing, he has been fined before, but he has never seen a person fined with such a friendly and natural attitude, without discrimination, without discrimination. To gloat, I can only be sorry, we have responsibilities, the laws and regulations are in front of us, and we act according to the rules, so that the parties will not feel humiliated and punished too embarrassingly.
