A Hong Kong people's Greater Bay Area Life

(Beautiful editor: Xiao Lia)

At 9 pm on June 29th, the reporter Zhang Rui, a reporter from the Economic Observation News, on the eve of the typhoon "Siaba". Sun Hongrui walked out of Hengbao Plaza from Duobao Road, Guangzhou, and turned away in the warm yellow street lamp as soon as he turned.

Sun Hongrui was born in Hong Kong in 1985 and grew up in an ordinary grass -roots family in Hong Kong. In 2006, Sun Hongrui chose to go to Guangzhou to study in Guangzhou in the "uncomfortable voice" of his parents, relatives, and classmates. In this case, studying, love, and work, ups and downs, stunning, and falling are 16 years, until he becomes a "Guangzhou" who does not need to be integrated.

Before the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, there were seven ways of transportation from Guangzhou to Hong Kong. These seven ways of transportation are the trajectory of his life to and from the two places, and it is also the epitome of the development of the mainland of China and Hong Kong. On June 29, he told the reporter of the Economic Observer about the past and presented a child of a grass -roots family in Hong Kong to grow together with the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area step by step. "If you want to leave a way tomorrow, it can be regarded as his own meager power." In 2020, Sun Hongrui devoted most of his energy to the Hong Kong and Macao youth entrepreneurial services in Nansha, Guangzhou. This is the eighth way he "returns" Hong Kong.

Green leather train

Grandpa Sun Hongrui's hometown was from Hunan. He heard his family say that when his grandfather died at the age of fifteen or six, his parents passed away, and he walked all the way from Luzhou, Hunan to Shaoguan, Guangdong to discuss life. "About 1978, my father crossed Hong Kong. I have heard that he was dissatisfied when he heard him." Sun Hongrui said that after going to Hong Kong, his father was a local worker, and his mother made a job. HK $ 20,000, but half of them are to subsidize families on both sides of their parents.

"These money are all in exchange for their lives. There are no more than food every month. When they see them at the end of the month, they are particularly embarrassed and often quarreled to buy vegetables." Sun Hongrui said that the childhood life in his memory was inseparable from Hong Kong. "Poor" of grass -roots families.

Around 2000, he studied in an international school in Hong Kong. "The one of the" poor "was a social experimental school built in order to alleviate the issue of minority ethnic groups in the society at that time." Sun Hongrui recalled that most of the students in this school were Pakistan, India, Thailand, the Philippines, etc. The local South Asian mixed race, the entire school can accommodate about 1,000 people, with 400 actual enrollment. "I am a Chinese in that grade." He said, this is the first time he consciously thought: what does the Chinese mean?

From the perspective of Sun Hongrui, he can clearly see the embarrassment of many mixed -race students. "For example, the Philippine classmates, (the Philippines) is not a country for him, it is a geographical location. Hong Kong is not his hometown. He is not born here, nor does he agree with Chinese culture." At the time, he saw a state in that environment without belonging and no future. And this became one of the reasons he did not choose to study abroad later. "The family is not very generous. It is about 400,000 in four years to study abroad. I may go abroad like those students from international schools." Sun Hongrui said, but at that time, the economic environment of mainland China was not very good. Choosing to go back to the Mainland to study is a matter of "being scolded miserable", because relatives believe that "finally come out, what to do."

What was the mainland of China at that time? For Sun Hongrui during middle school, from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, and took a 11 -hour green leather train to Huaihua, Hunan to participate in exchanges and poverty alleviation activities, Mainland China started from the green leather train in his impression. "We are sitting on the sleeper. When Huaihua is the tourist director, the police car will drive." Sun Hongrui recalled.

Direct bus

In 2006, Sun Hongrui, who graduated from middle school in middle school, firmly chose to go to Guangzhou to enter Jinan University.

Now remembered that Sun Hongrui felt that the "cross port" of economic development at that time at that time: the golden age was over, and it was just entering the silver era.

"The golden age is the courage to make a lot of money. The silver era must rely on hard work and brainpower." Sun Hongrui said. During college, he earned scholarships, worked and entrepreneurship, and greatly reduced the economic burden at home. He began to frequently travel to and from Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The changes in cities and four seasons were transferred in his eyes through the school's bus window of 80 yuan through the school.

He also went to more cities in the Mainland.

"Baiyun Airport at five in the morning, running for more than half a year." Sun Hongrui was a little embarrassed. For a year, he talked about a girlfriend in Hangzhou and quickly learned to use simplified characters, which felt more convenient than traditional characters. Although he claims to be "poor", he will take a plane to Hangzhou to see his girlfriend once a month.

2008, the Beijing Olympics. This is the beginning of the economic development of Mainland China in the impression of Sun Hongrui.

"I am studying international politics. The Beijing Olympic Games shows the ability to allocate government resources. It is a reflection of comprehensive national strength." He said that although there were some real estate problems at the time, he believed that it appeared in the malls and luxury in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou. The shop responded to its own views.

"At that time, I was in a bar. I heard people say how Beijing and how are it. It is obvious that the national confidence has greatly improved. It is also obvious that everyone's consumption brand has been seen on the streets of Guangzhou. "Sun Hongrui was curious at the time. Everyone was not all salary of three or four thousand. How dare you buy it? Guangjiu through the vehicle, boat, and Guangshen EMU

In 2010, Sun Hongrui, a graduate of college, faced the choice again.

"At that time, I also asked me to return to Hong Kong, but I went back to the three roads of civil servants, insurance and banks, but I didn't want to do it, and I saw my head at a glance." Sun Hongrui resolutely, he chose to stay in Guangzhou.

Around 2010, he did alcohol trade in an import and export company because of the advantages of English. In 2011, because of the "banned wine order" (drunk driving crime) policy, the business of wine fell halfway, and Sun Hongrui left the company.

In 2012, a female clothing brand called "Golia" in Guangzhou. The recruitment channel manager is an e -commerce expansion, mainly on e -commerce platforms such as Jingdong, Taobao, Amazon. Sun Hongrui wrote an English recommendation letter and a Chinese recommendation letter, which sent it to the other party to successfully serve. "At that time, the company was still (Guangzhou) Jiahe Wanggang (Metro Station). A very 'village' place, there was a bad way to go, and there was a pig farm." Sun Hongrui said, but walked into a huge factory building, Seeing the beautiful design department, I suddenly felt like "I went to Europe from Africa."

In the three years of Gelia, Sun Hongrui remembered the three "Double Eleven" results of the company: more than 30 million in the first year, more than 60 million in the second year, and more than 80 million in the third year.

In 2014, Sun Hongrui got married and had a child and had a mortgage pressure. However, in the first half of 2015, the company layoffs due to equity and industry decline. "I am a middle -aged and high -level level, and I have been cut off, and the pressure is great." He said that for a month, I "think about life" at McDonald's.

Not long after, Sun Hongrui was invited by entrepreneurship. "Witnessing the rise of Chinese e -commerce has accumulated a lot of resources, which may not be obtained in Hong Kong." Sun Hongrui said that he knew that on March 15, 2015, a friend pulled a partner to create an online and offline online and offline in Nansha, Guangzhou. Cross -border direct shopping mall, he is the fifth person of the core team, and is the deputy general manager of the operation center.

"It is said to be done on March 15th, and it will be opened on May 1st to open the daily crazy work mode." Sun Hongrui lived in Tianhe, Guangzhou, and went to the Nansha office in Guangzhou. The single commuting time was 2.5 hours. But he was still motivated. His efforts were not disappointed.

"Successfully opened on May 1st. This is the first shopping mall with cross -border direct purchase malls in Nansha, and the first shopping mall to be entered for more than 1 hour to limit the queue." Sun Hongrui described this, and there is a description in the mall. A small shop selling imported milk powder sold 8 million a month.

In 2016 and 2017, Sun Hongrui considers his parents' lives and children studying, and began to live in Guangzhou for a long time.

"I am studying and growing up in Hong Kong. I know what it looks like there. Mathematics and Chinese education in the Mainland are absolutely good. English is almost okay. I'm fine with my children. From the university, work, and entrepreneurship, he has never had any problems in the Mainland.

In those years, due to work, Sun Hongrui went back and forth in the two places, busy in the Pearl River Delta. "Sometimes I still take a school bus, or to pass through the car, sometimes take a boat in Nansha (Guangzhou), and sometimes take a deep train. Traffic in Guangdong Province is becoming more and more convenient." He said. When he first arrived in Nansha I feel that "there are too many lanes in Hong Kong Avenue, and now I start to traffic jams."

Guangzhou -Shenzhen -Hong Kong High Speed ​​Rail, Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge, Chuangchi

In September and October 2018, the Guangzhou -Shenzhen -Hong Kong High -speed Railway and the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge have been opened one after another, and once again, there are cross -border flows between the two places.

"(High -speed rail) fast! Super fast, very stable." Sun Hongrui said that it was an experience that had not been before. In memory, I went to Taiwan to take the MRT (subway) in Taiwan. On the high -speed rail, he felt that time was particularly fast, and the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge was all the landscapes and was shocking.

In 2019, Sun Hongrui has withdrawn from the work of cross -border direct shopping malls in Nansha, Guangzhou. Later, he encountered a working partner planned to open up Hong Kong and Macao youth entrepreneurial bases in Nansha.

This year, the "Outline of the Planning and Development of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area" was officially launched. Sun Hongrui was very touched. He said that he came out step by step from the grass -roots families in Hong Kong. "I understand too much, I know too much, what restrictions on Hong Kong people, especially grass -roots citizens."

In early 2020, the epidemic of the new crown pneumonia was outbreak. He rushed back to Guangzhou on the eve of the closure of Guan Guan in Hong Kong, and he never returned to Hong Kong, but he chose another way to "return".

In 2020, Sun Hongrui participated in the establishment of the international Qingchuang community of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao (Nansha City), and changed from entrepreneurs to entrepreneurial services. Focusing on serving Hong Kong and Macao youth innovation and entrepreneurship, it mainly provided entrepreneurial support for Hong Kong and Macao youths. In 2021, he became the chairman of the Alumni Association of the Entrepreneurship Academy of Jinan University, providing entrepreneurial support for college students and youth.

On September 28, 2021, the first section of the Guangzhou Metro Line 18 (Wanqi Sansha-Qiancun) officially opened a trial operation, with a design speed of 160 kilometers per hour, achieving a 30-minute space-time target from the Nansha deputy center to the central urban area of ​​Guangzhou.

"It's exaggerated, it's too fast, it can be said that most of the trains have been defeated." Sun Hongrui said that although his actual commute was not 30 minutes, his original two and a half hours of commuting was shortened to 1 and a half and a half and a half and a half hours.Hours are already amazing."I also have a sister in Hong Kong. She did not complete her studies because of her physical reasons. Now she can only do McDonald's work." Sun Hongrui said that he did not bring his sister "up" because he was too late.Now coming to the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area to develop has actually a threshold.

"The Greater Bay Area is a good time for many young people in Hong Kong." Sun Hongrui said that in the next three years, we should seize any opportunities overlapping with the Mainland.It may not be that many people can understand this feeling, and the perspective of the problem should not stay in the past.
