Hong Kong female stars’ favorite thing to do is to marry into a wealthy family.
But the wealthy are not fools.
Now, besides being beautiful, what else do the wealthy families need from me
There are so many beautiful female stars, why would the rich and powerful choose you
Besides, it’s pointless to have a wealthy family as you will have to face provocations from mistresses every day.
Why not go back to the mainland
Hong Kong is next to Shenzhen. In the early 1990s, the mainland was undergoing reform and opening up, especially in Shenzhen, where a special economic zone was established. There were a lot of opportunities to make money.
Many Hong Kong businessmen heard the news and rushed to Shenzhen to invest.
Zhao Zitong thought that as long as he seized an opportunity, he could stand on the cusp of the trend and win.
When Zhao Zitong told her mother about her idea, she was immediately met with fierce resistance.
"Tongtong, have you been driven stupid by those loan sharks today?"
"We went through so much trouble to sneak into Hong Kong from the mainland, and now we finally have a Hong Kong residence permit."
"You're actually going back to that extremely poor place on the mainland?"
“People go to high places, and water flows to low places.”
"Even if I die, I will die in Hong Kong. Even if you beat me to death, I will never return to the mainland!"
Zhao Zitong held her forehead with her hand. She almost forgot.
My parents fled to Hong Kong from the mainland in 1972.
The country's modernization drive has gone through a tortuous path.
Under the collectivist "big pot" model, everything belongs to the public.
For example, in terms of personal property, all gold and silver jewelry had to be reported to the government and then deposited in the bank, which greatly damaged people's enthusiasm for production.
In an era where "we would rather have socialist grass than capitalist seedlings".
Many people who have nowhere to go are confused and unwilling.
They began to make a desperate attempt to flee to Hong Kong, especially along the Guangdong coast.
Under this background, it is impossible for the generation that fled from the mainland to Hong Kong to think that the mainland will be more prosperous than Hong Kong in the future.
But it doesn’t matter, Hong Kong will return in 1997 anyway.
As long as you have the ability, you can make money anywhere.
Zhao Zitong was determined to make a name for herself in Hong Kong in the 1990s!
Zhao Zitong and her mother packed up a few clothes and some daily necessities and moved out of the cage house where they had lived for more than ten years.
"Tongtong, we really have to move away. If we move away from here, where will we live?"
Although the environment in Sham Shui Po is very poor, it is still my family’s first home in Hong Kong.
Sun Shaofen was a little reluctant.
Before coming to Hong Kong, my husband promised me that he would make a name for himself in Hong Kong.
Unexpectedly, since her husband became addicted to gambling, our lives have been getting worse and worse.
He even used the wages he earned from washing clothes for others to gamble.
Not only did he not save a penny, but he also ended up in a lot of debt.
Zhao Zitong brought her mother to an old building in Causeway Bay, where a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment costs HK$1,000 a month.
Zhao Zitong sold his mobile phone to raise enough money for three months' rent and deposit.
I was packing my things in my new home when there was a knock on the door.
Two young women stood outside the door, opened their arms, held a takeaway and said to Zhao Zitong:
"Zi Tong, I heard that you were making a scene on the streets of Mong Kok today."
One of the young women said.
Zhao Zitong remembered her. She was the good friend of the original owner Zhao Zitong, Yu Wenyin.
Yu Wenyin has short, neat hair, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and wears a black professional suit.
Now I am an intern in an architectural design firm.
"Zitong, don't worry if anything happens. Wenyin and I will help you. Why are you so depressed that you want to jump off the building?"
The person speaking is Ma Dandan, another good friend of the original owner Zhao Zitong.
Ma Dandan, with shoulder-length hair and a pretty face, was wearing a bank clerk's suit.
She heard that Zhao Zitong had jumped off the building, so she rushed over to see her after getting off work at the bank:
"Zitong, we have been good sisters for more than ten years. If there are any difficulties, we can work together to find a way to solve them."
Zhao Zitong was somewhat touched. It seemed that she was not fighting alone.
At least there were two good friends in Hong Kong in the 1990s.
The two of them took a tour of their new home and found that although the environment was average, it was much better than the cage house in Sham Shui Po before.
"Zitong, where did you get the money?" Yu Wenyin asked.
"Yes, Zitong, moving will cost a lot of money, right?" Ma Dandan took out an envelope:
"I just received my internship salary this month. Here is 3,000 yuan. Keep it for yourself."
"Wen Yin, Dan Dan, I'm fine now, thank you. I can't keep asking you for money."
Zhao Zitong was very moved to see Ma Dandan take out 3,000 yuan in one go.
But from now on, she will no longer ask her friends for a penny.
"I sold the mobile phone I had before."
Zhao Zitong said lightly.
This mobile phone was given to this year's Miss Hong Kong contestant by a wealthy Hong Kong man named Liu.
Each of the twelve contestants selected for the finals received one.
The reason is: It makes it convenient for TVB to contact the beauties.
"Aren't you going to sign a contract with TVB?"
Ma Dandan opened her eyes wide. Why? It would be so great to be Miss Hong Kong.
You can wear beautiful clothes, go to film movies, and meet many celebrities.
Zitong finally got the third place, although it was not her intention to sign up at that time.
It was the idea of her father, who was a compulsive gambler.
"It's okay if you don't go. Women don't have to rely on beauty pageants to get ahead."
Yu Wenyin adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously:
"Zitong, I think you should go to college."
The three of them were classmates at a Christian church middle school.
But after graduation, Yu Wenyin was admitted to the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong and became an intern architect.
Ma Dandan used money to smooth over some relatives' relationships and became an ordinary bank clerk.
Both of them are currently in their internship period.
Zhao Zitong in later generations was also a top student at a 985 university and a graduate student.
But now Zhao Zitong is just a social idler who graduated from high school and failed to get into college.
No education, no job, no background, truly a "three-no" person.
"Forget it. The college entrance exam is too long. I'm in debt now, and I'll be chased by people if I go to college."
Zhao Zitong in later generations has gone through the college entrance examination and attended university.
It is not a waste of time to take the college entrance examination again after being reborn.
And what is my current situation? I live in a cage house in Sham Shui Po. I don't know where to start and where to end. I live a precarious life.
The first thing is of course to work and earn money.
But holding the title of Miss Hong Kong third runner-up is not a bad thing.
After all, with fame, it will be a stepping stone for you to meet various business celebrities in the future.
But the money earned from filming is so little, it’s better to go to Hong Kong’s business world and make a name for yourself.
"Will those people who are chasing the numbers come again?" Ma Dandan asked worriedly.
