Yuan Story | Shenzhen and Hong Kong Love on both sides of the river

The 37 -kilometer -long Shenzhen River, the natural obstruction of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, is already a bond for the integration of Shuangcheng.

"This river is the Shenzhen River." Zhang Keke turned on the phone and played the video he took recently. The camera was pulled near, and a slowly flowing river appeared in the picture.

When the Shenzhen River, when talking about these three words, you may feel bland, but it has special significance for Zhang Keke. "Some time ago I turned to a 1997 pass", Zhang Keke counted the entry and exit verification chapter above, "53 times". That year alone, he traveled between Shenzhen and Hong Kong 53 times.

As a Hunan people who grew up in the Xiangjiang River, the Shenzhen River flowing between Shenzhen Port has become the one with the largest number of "crossing". However, since January 2020, because of the new crown epidemic, he has not been to Hong Kong in Shenzhen River for 2 years and 7 months. This is a change that is difficult to adapt to Zhang Keke. Fortunately, his home is by the Shenzhen River, and you can take a walk along the river every morning to see the opposite bank that is close at hand.

"Here is the core area of ​​Hetao," Zhang Keke pointed at the upper left corner of the picture.

Hetao, this term is unusual to him. In 1992, he participated in the "Shenzhen -Hong Kong Cross -border Science and Technology Park" planning survey in the Shenzhen Municipal CPPCC. Now, the Heba Shenzhen -Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone has been listed as an important scientific and technological innovation platform by the "Development Planning of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area", which is included in The country's major development strategy; the "Development Strategy in the Northern Metropolitan Area" of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government also uses river suits as the core part of the "Hong Kong Deep Interaction Circle". The same frequency resonance on both sides of the Shenzhen River is undoubtedly the best news to hear in recent times.

The Shenzhen River, a small river with a length of only 37 kilometers, divided into two Xin'an hometown into two in 1898. Now, she will no longer become a natural barrier, but a bond for the integration and development of Shuangcheng, Hong Kong, and Hong Kong.

Xiaohe vicissitudes

Of course, Zhang Keke is of course familiar with this river that has been associated for more than 30 years. Data such as "Shenzhen River 37 kilometers in length and 312.5 square kilometers in the basin" are also handy. However, to understand some of the past events of the Shenzhen River, we have to find those native Shenzhen people.

For example, in addition to Liao Honglei, it is difficult to find someone telling you how the Shenzhen River looks like in the 1940s. "My mother later told me that the year of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, she used a cloth to carry my back to the Shenzhen River, who was less than one year old, and went to Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan in Hong Kong." Liao Honglei often talked to people about this scene. In 1898, China and Britain signed the "Exhibition of Hong Kong Boundaries". The British rented New Territories, a small Shenzhen River, "a jump" became the boundary river of Hong Kong and Shenzhen (Baoan County) and even Mainland China. However, how can a small river be cut off for thousands of years of affection and blood? In some villages, they spans both sides of the Shenzhen River, such as Luofang Village, and later formed Luo Fang Village and Luofang Village, Hong Kong.

Some villages are on the north bank of the Shenzhen River, but the cultivated land is on the other side, such as Liaotang Village, Changling Village, Qixia Village, Xiangxi Village ... Villages on both banks on both banks, the same dialect, worship the ancestor. "(Shenzhen River) rake the field, (Shenzhen River) inserts seedlings over the side; cut off the grain on the side of the side; the chicken is bright here; The poetic language depicts the scenes that the Shenzhen River once had.

After the 1950s, with the changes in the political situation, a high iron wire mesh was built on both sides of the Shenzhen River, which became a veritable boundary, and it was the forefront of the Cold War. On both sides of the Shenzhen River, the scene of "the sound of chickens and dogs and dogs smells" is gone.

Today's Liao Honglei is a famous literary and historical writer in Shenzhen, but do you know? The road of his writer also started from the "seizing agent" on the banks of the Shenzhen River. In the early morning of March 18, 1969, when the Border Forces 8 fighters patrolled the Liaotang border, they found several agents stealing the border of Vietnam. With the cooperation of the militia, they killed two agents on the spot and caught another. At that time, Liao Honglei was a literary youth. He served as a literary creator in the professional literary and art team of Baoan County. He immediately went to the troops to interview and created the drama "The Sound of the Border Defense". Later, it was adapted into 8 -scene Cantonese opera. In 1976, he participated in the Guangdong Provincial Literary and Art Refender, which caused a sensation. More than 60 drama troupes inside and outside the Guangdong Province were adapted and performed. In today's words, it is also "Internet celebrities" and "explosive models".

The shallow Shenzhen River will not be permanently frozen after all. By the time "1979, that was a spring", the coastal villages moved, and they planted vegetables, fish, and chicken on the "flying land" on the side of the Shenzhen River Hong Kong. Even the earliest wealthy villages in mainland China.

Speaking of which, Liao Honglei took out a laptop that has been treasured for many years. There is a record of his interview in the fisherman's village on October 11, 1980: "(the whole village) income with more than 10,000 yuan." What are the standard homes for 10,000 yuan households? "Audio combination, more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars; refrigerators (refrigerators); Xinli (Sony) 18 -inch TV, more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars; landing fan, more than 300 Hong Kong dollars."

One year later, Liao Honglei went to a fisherman's village to interview. Wu Baisen, the village secretary, told him that the village was building a house for the villagers. Each of the practical area was 135 square meters, and 30 buildings were planned. At that time, 21 buildings had been built. By the beginning of 1984, all 30 "houses" were completed. On January 25 of that year, the villagers ushered in Deng Xiaoping, who inspected Shenzhen, so the first "10,000 yuan village" in Mainland China spread widened. In fact, the "10,000 yuan village" along the Shenzhen River is more than one fisherman's village? ▲ In 1978, Luofang Village passed the farming mouth, and the village opposite the wire mesh was the New Territories Timing Village (He Huangyou).

Connecting Shenzhen -Hong Kong

When the Shenzhen River is no longer a border defense outpost, but becoming the forefront of reform and opening up, people suddenly discovered that the Luohu Bridge connecting Shenzhen River connected to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, becoming unprecedentedly crowded. In 1982, the Shenzhen -Hong Kong parties signed the "Shenzhen -Hong Kong Agreement on the Course between the two places". The two sides have also established five working groups including land traffic, reconstruction of Luohu Railway Station, and governing Shenzhen River.

It was also that year, the Shenzhen Border Inspection Station ushered in 150 female soldiers for the first time. One of the little girl named Wu Yanxia. "At that time, the customs clearance was hand -made, one table, one steel printing to stamp, a warehouse to collect and organized information." After 40 years, Wu Yanxia, ​​a second -level senior sheriff of the Luohu entry and exit border inspection station, Recalling these, as if I saw myself at the age of 18.

In the early days of the Special Economic Zone, there were only hundreds of passengers daily at Luohu Port. Wu Yanxia and his comrades came to the post of inspection of Luohu Bridge, and were catching up with the passing of the passenger flow of the Shenzhen River unprecedentedly. A large number of business people who have a keen sense of business have a keen sense of business, and people who return home to visit relatives and discuss business have increased year by year. The long -term customs clearance team on Luohu Bridge has become the norm.

From 1978 to 1988, the number of passenger clearances in Shenzhen increased by 20 % per year. In 1986, the new joint inspection building of Luohu Port was put into use. The 12 -story building of this yellow roof and red pillars became the only way for people to come and go on both sides of the Shenzhen River at that time.

In 1988, a Hunan people took a paper tone to the south to Shenzhen and came to work in the Shenzhen Library. He was Zhang Keke. At this time, Shenzhen has become a city for the Chinese. Opricate from Hong Kong, where can there be more "internationalized" more than here in Mainland China?

More lucky than most people who came to Shenzhen was that the first year of Zhang Keke's work in Shenzhen set foot in Hong Kong on the other side of the Shenzhen River. In order to prepare for the Shenzhen Book Market, Zhang Keke was ordered to invite experts and scholars in Hong Kong as a consultant.

Of course, it was impossible to verify whether Zhang Kocke's first entry and exit verification seal of Hong Kong was Wu Yanxia. But it is certain that he first crossed the Shenzhen River to Hong Kong for the first time. In 1988, for Wu Yanxia, ​​it was a very important node for all those who traveled to and from the sterling of Shenzhen River: Mainland China No. 1 A set of side inspection computer systems are opened at Luohu Port. From then on, bid farewell to the simple manual label and transition to the semi -automatic and automated customs clearance.

Zhang Keke was transferred to the Shenzhen CPPCC in the early 1990s, served as the director of the Office of the Friendship Committee, and was responsible for the contact work of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan overseas Chinese. Go to Hong Kong and become the daily work. The Shenzhen River is just the only way to work. In 1997, Hong Kong returned to the motherland, and he went to Hong Kong 53 times that year, and this record remained until retirement.

With the opening of the ports such as Huanggang Port and Futian Port, the obstruction of customs clearance on the Shenzhen River has gradually been broken, and the flow of people on both sides of the strait is unprecedentedly active. The number of tourists in the Mainland in Hong Kong has increased from 2.36 million in 1997 to 13.5 million in 2006. Wu Yanxia's number of customs clearance has reached 260,000 a year, which also set a record of her career.

Together with water

River, moody. Sometimes calm as a virgin, sometimes anger like a tiger.

For this point, Zhang Keke, who had a half -life tiver with Shenzhen River, was deeply appreciated. When he came to the Shenzhen CPPCC as the director of the Friendship Committee of the Association of Friendship Committee in the early 1990s, the Shenzhen River forged an inextricable bond with him, but the Shenzhen River also gave him a "disappear." Of course, this not only belongs to him, but the common memory of people on both sides of the river in those years.

It was September 26, 1993, the typhoon "Bei Bijia" attacked Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The heavy rain was pouring, and the water of the Shenzhen river soared. Most areas in Shenzhen are severely immersed in water, and low -lyinglands along the Shenzhen River are even more ocean.

"I went to Longgang with a few colleagues that morning with a few colleagues and I drove to the intersection of Phuket Lili. The rain couldn't walk, so I turned around and wanted to go back to the CPPCC agency. The situation that day was so clear in Zhang Keke's mind. Waiting until 3 pm, the car still couldn't move. Everyone had to go home in order to go home.

In fact, the typhoon was drowned at the Luohu District of Shenzhen at the time. Coupled with a typhoon in June of that year, this is the second time in Shenzhen in Shenzhen within 3 months. At the same time, Hong Kong's Shangshui and Shinada areas along the Shenzhen River are also "water -long Jinshan".

The Shenzhen -Hong Kong Union has worked hard to govern the Shenzhen River. In May 1995, the Government of Shenzhen and Hong Kong signed the "Agreement on the Phase I Phase Issue Project of Shenzhen River", and the first phase of the project was officially started. The crux of the Shenzhen River lies in the winding of the river, and the riverbed is narrow, resulting in extremely low flood discharge capacity. The main measure of the first phase of the project is to make a straightening of the two curved sections of the ingredients (fishermen) and Luimazhou.

In this regard, Shenzhen has established the Municipal River Office. The first director Lin Wanquan is also a member of the CPPCC. He has a lot of intersection with Zhang Kockee. Regarding some technical issues that control the Shenzhen River, his memories are more detailed and vivid.

Regarding the sludge of the Shenzhen river bed accumulated, the Shenzhen -Hong Kong parties initially negotiated the engineering plan of "big development, large movement, large transfer, and large -scale filling". The construction period takes at least 30 months.

"The mud depth is large, and the time to change the processing work will also produce noise and dust. Can it be shortened and does not affect the environment while ensuring the quality of the project?" Shenzhen leaders at that time proposed an expectation.

Lin Wanquan searched for technical information around, and learned that many domestic brothers units in the country have been conducting research on a vacuum pre -compression method for weak foundations. The construction period, low cost, significant effect, and energy saving and environmental protection. However, this technology has never been like Shenzhen River River. Such a large engineering test.

In waiting, anxiety, and expectation, the large -scale use of the vacuum pre -pressure method is finally successful!

But at this moment, Lin Wanquan suddenly hesitated: using a new method means to overthrow the results of the Shenzhen -Hong Kong government's negotiations for many years and face various uncertainty.

"At that time, it was really painful, and I was afraid of it." Lin Wanquan admitted that after all consideration, he decided to issue a post to the Hong Kong party chief leader, Zhang Dajiong, the director of the Hong Kong Canal Agency, clarified the new engineering plan and emphasized that once it adopts it, it is adopted. Both sides need to take responsibility.

After more than 20 days, Lin Wanquan, who was like a year, finally waited for Zhang Dajiong's reply. "This is a very experienced old engineer made a weak foundation for large -scale vacuum pre -pressure design."

Lin Wanquan said frankly that at the time, he saw the reply, and a sense of intersection, a boulder in his heart landed. This response was Hong Kong's recognition of the new plan, and it was also the trust and respect of his old engineer like him.

In May 1995, the first phase of the Shenzhen River governance project of Shenzhen -Hong Kong cooperation was officially started. It was completed in April 1997 in only 23 months, which was 7 months shortened from the original plan.

On July 2, 2017, after 35 years of Shenzhen -Hong Kong Joint Governance Shenzhen River Project was fully completed. The Shenzhen River flood control standards have been greatly improved, and the width of the river surface has also been extended from the original 25-80 meters to 80-210 meters. The shipping conditions and the water environment have also been improved to a certain extent.

"After the weak infrastructure of the slope area of ​​this dyke, it deeply overwhelmed the bottom of the Shenzhen River, and it still played a role steadily. After so many years, it has become the existence of the monument in my heart." Lin Wanquan in Xun said that the past was still passionate.

▲ Shenzhen River Governance Project: Before the governance of the fishermen village.

▲ Today, Heng has ushered in the "two -way giving" on the sides of the Shenzhen River.

By -direction

The first phase of the Shenzhen River governance project, the river tailoring area has appeared in a number of north -south interaction. The largest one of them is in Futian -Luimazhou section of the tailoring section: Shenzhen Fang has about 0.86 square kilometers of land into the Hong Kong side of Xinhe; the area of ​​the adjacent original river is 0.18 square kilometers. 1 square kilometer moved south to the side of the Shenzhen River Hong Kong.

In this place, we later had a familiar name -Hetao.

Xiaoxiaohe has been in Shenzhen and Hong Kong for nearly 30 years. How many twists and turns have been experienced, there are not many people who experience it. Zhang Keke is one of them.

Whenever it comes to this topic, Zhang Keke also remembers his good friends. Mr. Wen Gu Tai, Chairman of the Tianxiang Affairs Committee.

The acquaintance of Zhang Keke and Wen Qiangtai traced back to the director of the Office of the Friendship Committee of the Shenzhen CPPCC. At that time, he was responsible for contacting Hong Kong and Macau members. At a meeting of the Hong Kong member group, Wen Gu Tai said a meaningful thing: "Good opportunity, in the Shenzhen River."

If Zhang Keke had not understood it at that time, then he talked with Wen Quantai shortly after a long talk, and was completely moved by the feelings and ideals of the native of the Shenzhen River.

Wen Qiang Tai was born in the Xintianwen family, one of the five clans of the "Peng Deng Liao Hou Wen" in the New Territories of Hong Kong. His mother was married from Shenzhen Huanggang to Xintian, Hong Kong in his early years. Therefore, Wen Qiang Tai has deep feelings for Shenzhen and Hong Kong. "In his own words,‘ his ancestors are with Shenzhen people, and they are farming together and drinking a river water. ”Zhang Keke was very impressed by this sentence.

In his early years, Wen Gu Tai studied and worked in the United Kingdom. He returned to Hong Kong in 1977. He felt the backwardness of the New Territories compared to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. He ambitiously prepared a regional development research report and handed over to the Hong Kong government through the formal channels. However, the Hong Kong -English authorities at that time did not pay attention to the development of the New Territories at all. Wen Qiangtai was not discouraged, and turned his eyes to the motherland. In his first conversation with Zhang Keke, he revealed his idea: A technology and commercial building adjacent to Xintian Village, which is adjacent to the Huanggang Port, and New Temple Village, New Territories, New Territories, were used to be used as a cross -border science and technology park. This was a series of ideas such as the "One River Economic Belt" and "Shenzhen -Hong Kong River Set Cooperation Zone" later.

Zhang Keke immediately reported to the CPPCC leaders. The leader heard a high interest and asked to start a survey immediately. Therefore, in the next period of time, Zhang Keke and Wen Gu Tai had repeatedly discussed with experts from Shenzhen and outside Shenzhen to investigate on the ground coast of the Shenzhen River and reported to Beijing to report to the leaders.

"Mr. Wen Gu Tai reported to the leader. Each of his points started in Cantonese, and we used the prepared report outline to explain Mandarin." Zhang Kocke's description was very picture. Wen Qiangtai does not speak Mandarin, but he hopes that the folks on both sides of the Shenzhen River are developing the common wealth of boxing. No one "listen".

In 1996, the "Shenzhen River Economic Cooperation Zone Planning Implementation" and "Shenzhen River Futian-Luimazhou River Set Development Report" completed the argument. The blueprint of the Shenzhen -Hong Kong cross -border technology circle centered on the river style is full of dazzling. "This matter can be done after Hong Kong returns to the motherland!" Everyone thought so.

Later, Zhang Keke left the Shenzhen CPPCC and served as the deputy director of the Shenzhen High -tech Office, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, and the full -time vice chairman of the Municipal Science and Technology Association. Base, investigate and plan virtual university parks.

The Shenzhen River flows. Hetao, there is no silence for too long.

On July 1, 2017, the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Government and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly signed the "Deepening of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Cooperation to Promote the Construction Framework of the Greater Bay Area", which clearly proposed the support of the "Hong Kong Shenzhen Innovation and Science and Technology Park".

The "Outline of the Development Planning of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area" released on February 18, 2019 clearly proposes "supporting the construction of the Luo Mazhou River Harbor Shenzhen Innovation and Science and Technology Park and the adjacent Shenzhen Fang Fang Technology Park".

In October 2021, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's "Metropolitan Metropolitan Development Strategy" proposed "two cities and three laps". The Hepai Shenzhen -Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone is located in the Hong Kong Shenzhen and Deep Interactive Interactive Circle; the planning will integrate the construction of the "Shinada Science and Technology City" and the construction of the Hong Kong Shenzhen Innovation Science and Technology Park and Luomazhou/Shinada, and become an important engine to build the Greater Bay Area International Science and Technology Innovation Center.

Hetao finally ushered in the "two -way rush" on both sides of the Shenzhen River.

As a civil servant, Zhang Keke has retired for many years, but as an expert in the Shenzhen -Hong Kong -Macao Science and Technology Alliance and experts from the Shenzhen Pioneer Demonstration District Bay Area, he has not stopped paying attention and thinking on the sides of the river and Shenzhen River for a moment.

Unfortunately, Mr. Wen Gu Tai died in 2014 and could not see the scene of the river in full swing today. In his writing "History of Shenzhen -Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Oral History", Zhang Keke was written, he gave this old friend highly evaluating: "Mr. Wen Gu Tai is very far -sighted. He has been thinking about Hong Kong and Shenzhen 30 years ago. 'Cooperation and development on both sides of the river' ... This idea coincides with the "Northern Metropolitan Area '' '', Shuangcheng Three Circle '."
