Chapter 897 Aboriginal fishermen on Lantau Island!
Although Wang Tung Wan belongs to Lantau Island, it is still undeveloped except for trees.
Other than that, it is not high here, and the high place is not here.
While Yang Ming was watching there, Mai Lisi and others were also watching.
There is no development here, so you can't get in because there are many mosquitoes.
Before coming, Lin Xiuzhi had already brought mosquito repellent, otherwise she might really get bitten by those mosquitoes.
Yang Ming did not stay.
After asking someone to leave a sign, Yang Ming and others left here, boarded a big boat, and left by boat on the shore of Lantau Island.
I don't know how long it has been open.
Yang Ming saw several shirtless fishermen casting nets on a nearby boat.
These people should live on Lantau Island.
Yang Ming let the big boat approach and waved to the fishermen.
Several naked fishermen stopped to fish and looked at Yang Ming and others curiously.
In normal times, basically no one comes here, not even the Sir on the water in Xiangjiang River comes here to patrol.
"Brothers, do you live nearby?"
Yang Ming asked.
A fisherman pointed not far away, implying that they lived there.
Yang Ming looked over and saw some buildings there, but not many. They should be temporary residences built by Lantau natives or nearby fishermen.
Ordinary people would not come here, not even fugitives.
At this time, Lantau Island really had nothing except that it was huge and still undeveloped. When you came here, you really could only feed the mosquitoes with blood.
"Let's dock there."
When this big boat stopped at a nearby beach.
Yang Ming, Mailisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang and others got off the ship. An engineer said: "Boss, this area is named Changsha Village, one is Upper Changsha and the other is Lower Changsha."
Changsha Village?
Yang Ming may have been here in his previous life and had no memory of it.
Maybe thirty or forty years later, things will be different here.
At this time, the beach here still looks very good.
They had already seen several children without clothes running, and the women looked over. They were also curious about strangers like Yang Ming suddenly breaking into this place.
Of course, Chen Zhenhua, Zhang Guohua and others were by Yang Ming's side.
Yang Ming waved to the children.
Some of the children were very timid and had probably never seen strangers before, so they hurriedly hid behind the women.
Just now, Yang Ming saw on the boat that the men who were fishing naked from the waist up had returned. They also looked at Yang Ming and others with some vigilance.
At first, these people felt that this young man was somewhat familiar.
I couldn't recognize him for a while.
When they carefully recalled where they had seen it, they exchanged some words, and someone hurried to the house on the shore and took out a few yellowed newspapers.
Isn't this young man headed by Sir Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group?
Chairman of Imperial Group?
Sir Young?
Such a big shot would actually come here.
These people usually fished, except for some of the leftovers they ate and sold on Hong Kong Island or Cheung Chau Island. It was precisely because of that that they knew the news about the Imperial Group and Sir Yang.
"Hello, are you Sir Yang?"
"Hello, my name is Yang Ming."
After learning Sir Yang's identity, these people relaxed their vigilance.
Yang Ming looked at the houses here curiously.
Except for some simple houses made of stones, boat planks, iron sheets, etc., there were probably more than twenty people living in a few simple houses. Apart from these people, Yang Ming did not see anyone else.
When someone went to bring a stool for Sir Yang to sit down.
After Yang Ming thanked them.
While we were sitting there, a woman hurriedly went to bring the hot water.
"Brothers, are you the fishermen here?"
Yang Ming asked.
"Yes, Sir Yang."
"How long have you lived here?"
"We make a living by fishing here. Our ancestors first came here, probably hundreds of years ago."
Hundreds of years?
That is the indigenous people of Lantau Island.
If they are immigrants, they are also indigenous people who immigrated here hundreds of years ago.
Yang Ming knew that most of the fishermen from China or Nanyang who came to Xiangjiang went to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. It was impossible for them to come to such a place.
The environment here is really bad, almost the same as in remote mountain villages in China.
However, it is close to the sea and you can usually make a living by fishing.
"Are you the only ones nearby?"
"There used to be people there, but then some people moved away."
Yang Ming knew that in the early years of Xiangjiang, there were a large number of people living on the water. These people were called the Dan family.
When the Dan family had the largest number of people, there might be two to three hundred thousand people. People like Huo Yingdong, Chow Yun-fat and others were all born in the Dan family.
Looking at these people in front of him, Yang Ming guessed that they might have lived on the water before.
However, living on the water is definitely not as safe as on land.
Yang Ming asked many more questions, and they all answered truthfully.
They didn't know why Sir Yang asked these questions.
"If you were asked to move to another place one day, would you be willing?" Yang Ming asked.
At this time, these people could only make a living by fishing, and their children had no education. Basically, when the children were about the same age, they would go fishing with the adults, generation after generation.
In fact, fishing is not that easy. Even though the marine fish resources here are relatively abundant, it is often not suitable to go to sea.
Although these places are not very deep.
Let them move out?
Where to move?
"Sir Yang, where do you want us to move?"
"The New Territories, Kowloon, and even Hong Kong Island."
These people were shocked.
Yang Ming did not say why he asked them to move.
Yang Ming knew that these people had lived here for a long time. If Lantau Island was to be blown up, the indigenous people or fishermen in these places would definitely have to move away.
Even if they want to come back then, they will have to go nearby or reclaim the land and build high-rise buildings again before they can come back.
Yang Ming knew that the real interest issue that touched upon might be the interest issue of these people.
These people are just ordinary people, how many interests do they have?
The Kowloon and Hong Kong Island that Yang Ming mentioned are the most prosperous places in Hong Kong now. It is easy to find a job and it is easy for children to study. Their men may not have much, but these women really want to move to those places.
Nowadays, houses in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are very expensive, and the rent is very expensive. I am afraid that it is really impossible to support a family just by fishing.
Yang Ming said no more.
When I looked around, there was basically no one else.
Except for them, the indigenous fishermen, and occasionally some people who come here looking for excitement or tourism, it is usually them.
Now, it is indeed very rare for a big man like Sir Yang to come here.
