Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 355 Notes Taken Down (Second Update)
The defeat in Nanjing was due to two main factors: the disparity between the two sides and the government at the time.

Someone had already given up in their heart, and although Tang Paopao was the commander-in-chief, he stayed at home and eventually ran away on a small steamer.

Moreover, in order to demonstrate their determination, they had already moved all the ships away, which is why Nanjing was unable to evacuate later.

Of course, it is very likely that it coincides with someone else's idea.

However, in the process, our determination to resist was also evident. In the Battle of Yuhuatai, two of the three brigade commanders of the 88th Division were killed in action, and three of the six regimental commanders were killed in action.

There were 47 deaths of moderate to severe severity, and none of their remains have been recovered.

More than 30,000 soldiers died in battle, and more than 40,000 were killed.

The little guy originally wanted to use bloodshed to intimidate us and make us lose our will to resist, but he didn't expect it to backfire.

The film "Nanjing" portrays the Nationalist army in a very positive light, but it depicts certain individuals and figures like Tang Paopao as incompetent.

Li Songcai isn't afraid of offending people.

The cruelty of daily life, the incompetence of a certain person, the fervor of soldiers, and the suffering of the common people.

The main storyline of the film is about the students who stayed in Nanjing and the army fighting against the oppressive conditions.

Zhu Ling plays a nurse who leads young nurses in treating the wounded. Each character doesn't have many lines; the soldiers only give orders, and the medical staff also give orders.

More often than not, it was body language; soldiers, laden with grenades, charged at the enemy.

A comrade handed a grenade to a wounded comrade who was unable to retreat, looked at him deeply, and then resolutely turned and left.

The wounded soldier, clutching a grenade, sang a folk song from his hometown, and detonated the grenade amidst the increasingly clear commands of the officer.

The medical staff treating wounded soldiers in the field hospital who were unable to evacuate in time were pierced by the bayonet of a soldier, accompanied by the soldiers' curses.

The field hospital was engulfed in flames.

The film ends with a scene by the river, accompanied by the sound of machine guns, where people fall like wheat. These people who had escaped from Nanjing and were unable to leave the river are now forever trapped there.

The nurse, played by Zhu Ling, is bandaging a wounded soldier when a young soldier rushes in and stabs her right through the heart.

None of the main characters in this movie escaped; Li Song doesn't glorify or offer any hope.

Because war is inherently cruel, glorifying war is a crime.

Li Song clenched his fists as he saw the bodyguards.

After the bodyguard left, Li Song took the copy to a second-hand platform and had it made into a 30-second promotional video.

Three hours later, Li Song received the promotional video.

The first example is when the defending soldiers in the trenches charge in, and the defending soldiers charge with grenades loaded on their hands. They have no last words, only a curse.

The other soldiers in the trenches, also laden with grenades, rushed out one after another, shouting curses in various local dialects.

Another issue was the injuries sustained while covering the rear. Watching his comrades retreat, he sang a folk song from his hometown, listening to the sounds of his daily life drawing closer, and then detonated a grenade.

Thirty seconds of promotional footage!

Li Song took a look and thought it was excellent, fitting the theme of the film.

The next day, Li Song sent someone to deliver the promotional sample to Liu Jiale.

Li Song knew that the release of the movie would definitely offend some people, but he didn't care, since he had already offended them anyway.

Historically, domestically imported technology from Xiaorizi (a motorcycle brand) has become obsolete, and now it's no longer needed. This technology is taking away Xiaorizi's market share in the motorcycle market, and the trend is becoming increasingly pronounced.

Then there's the car market, and then the game console market.

Phoenix TV's future development direction is the mainland.

Li Song couldn't be happier if Xiao Rizi shut down his businesses.

While the small-time protesters were busy, some Southeast Asian governments took the opportunity to extort money from them, saying things like, "If you give me a certain amount of investment, I'll consider it."
Then the young man protested in London, where he was directly accused of interfering with the Hong Kong government's operations.

On April 17, 1981, the London court formally ruled in the patent lawsuit between MTU and Yum! Brands, finding MTU guilty of infringement, ordering it to pay Yum! Brands £30 million in damages, and to cease infringement worldwide.

MTU's lawyer stated in court that they would continue the lawsuit. After leaving the courthouse, MTU's representative publicly accused London of favoring Parkson.

They also stated that they would pursue the case even if it went all the way to the United Nations.

As a result of this incident, the stock price of Mercedes-Benz, the parent company of MTU, plummeted.

Meanwhile, Li Song took a private plane back to Guangzhou.

"It's much faster now." The flight from Hong Kong Island Airport to Guangzhou only takes about 30 minutes.

Moreover, Li Song's private jet doesn't require the long waiting time of a commercial airliner.

For such a short distance, it's probably best to avoid taking a commercial airliner, as the waiting time and customs process can be quite long.

The reason for landing in Guangzhou was that Li Song needed to go through customs, and after that, he would change his mainland identity and continue flying to Beijing.

This way, others will not be able to track Li Song's whereabouts through the information from the port of entry and exit.

The reason Li Song flew to Kyoto first was because he bought some things on the plane, including seafood, fruits, and vegetables, which he purchased directly in Guangzhou.

Because Li Song had promised Zhu Ling and the others that they would go to the Badaling Great Wall together.

That evening, Li Song watched the news and discovered that the case between Parkson and MTU had been decided. The amount of compensation was determined by the law firm, which also received a commission on the compensation.

In addition, Li Song had previously stated that the compensation amount would be donated to environmental charities.

That's right, this time it's Li Song's turn to wield the environmental protection stick.

In their past lives, the West wielded the environmental protection stick and then destroyed its own industry.

Originally, environmental protection was a conspiracy by developed countries against developing countries, but unexpectedly, their own people believed it.

The values ​​that America originally intended to export to other countries were unexpectedly embraced by America's own people first.

"I don't want to film Dream of the Red Chamber anymore," Zhu Ling said after the news ended.

"Hmm?" Li Song asked, somewhat curious.

"It feels strange. Ever since I heard your explanation last time, when I read Dream of the Red Chamber and think about Lin Daiyu's experiences, I feel a bit disgusted," Zhu Ling said.

"If you don't want to film it, then don't. There's still Journey to the West and Water Margin." Li Song agreed when he heard this, because he remembered that the actors who filmed Dream of the Red Chamber didn't seem to have much of a future, so he nodded.

"Jinling Cinema has been the subject of much discussion in our circle lately, with some people even labeling it as damaging friendships."

"Make a notebook and write down these people's names. I won't cast them in the movies I invest in in the future."

"Uh-huh!"
