English Queen died in the UK and ended his legendary life for 96 years. Speaking of the Queen of England, we have to talk about the time she visited China 36 years ago. That visit was of great significance. The Queen of England not only went to Beijing, but also went to cities such as Xi'an, Kunming, Guangzhou and other cities.
When the Queen of England arrived in Guangzhou, she lived in the White Swan Hotel donated by Ho Ying-Tong . The most impressive story of the Queen of England visiting China was to help the mainland do a good job in reception work, Ho Ying-tung directly bought a top-level Rolls-Royce and donated it.
1986 Queen of England visited China, and one of the stops was to Guangzhou. At that time, in order to do a good job in receiving the Queen of England, many departments in charge started to prepare six months in advance. From accommodation to food, they had to obey the Queen of England's living habits, and at the same time they also reflected Chinese characteristics .
At that time, the hotel in charge of reception in Guangzhou was the White Swan Hotel donated by Ho Ying-dong. The White Swan Hotel is also the first foreign-funded five-star hotel in the mainland, and it was built with Huo Ying-tung's great efforts. In order to do a good job in this reception work, Guangzhou did not dare to neglect it because they were worried that there were no luxury cars in the mainland that could be used as reception cars, so they went to Hong Kong to borrow a car with Ho Ying-tung.
Because the Queen's car in the UK was a Rolls-Royce, and Ho Ying-tung had a Rolls-Royce at that time. However, Ho Ying-tung thought that his Rolls-Royce was too low, so he specially purchased a brand-new top-level Rolls-Royce specifically for use in this reception.
Many people may not know what the concept of a Rolls-Royce appeared in the mainland in 1986? Until 1996, the number of Rolls-Royce in the mainland was only more than 50 units. In the early 1990s, Ferrari came to China for the first time for exhibition. They even thought that no one in China could afford it. They were originally going to take the car back to Italy after the exhibition. As a result, it was bought by the rich man Li Xiaohua in Beijing.
can be seen at that time, the scarcity of top luxury cars in the mainland. It was naturally not enough to spend money to buy this car at that time, but in order to help the mainland do a good job in the reception work, Ho Ying-tung did not care about these things.
When the Queen arrived in Guangzhou, she got on the new blue three-row Rolls-Royce provided by Ho Ying-Tong, followed by more than a dozen other Mercedes-Benz reception cars from the White Swan Hotel. The entire fleet is 1 kilometer long .
The Queen also ate many special Cantonese dishes in White Swan, and can be said to be truly at home. The significance behind this Queen's visit to China is of great significance. It can be said that Ho Ying-tung also made great contributions silently.
After the Queen returned, Ho Ying-tung did not bring the car back to Hong Kong, but left it directly at the White Swan Hotel to use it as a high-level reception car for the hotel, and later received many international political leaders. At that time, ordinary people could also spend money to rent this Rolls-Royce. In that era, if ordinary people could rent this car after getting married, then there would definitely be rice at home. It is said that renting this car at that time cost more than 2,000 yuan per month.
In an era when a household in tens of thousands of yuan is a wealthy person, you can imagine what it means to spend more than 2,000 yuan per hour. Later, Ho Ying-tung did not transport this car back to Hong Kong as his car, but stayed in the mainland and made great contributions to Guangzhou's reception work. Now this car has been retired, and the car is also stored in Ho Ying-Tong Memorial Hall . In fact, many people don’t know that among the many rich people in Hong Kong, many of them have won British medals, such as Li Ka-shing , Ho Hongshen , Run Run Shaw , Ho Dong , Lam Zifeng , etc.
But Ho Ying-tung never receives British medals. With Ho Ying-tung's influence in Hong Kong, before returning, he was fully capable and capable of getting British royal medals, but Ho Ying-tung never cared about these things, and he even thought these things were considered It is the bottom line of being a human being.
Ho Ying-tung suffered from cancer back then.His father died of cancer, and the kind of cancer that Ho Ying-tung's father suffered from was very likely to be inherited. After Ho Ying-tung was diagnosed with cancer in the 1980s, based on this situation, many people persuaded him to go to the United States for treatment.
At that time, the medical level in the United States was still different from that in China, and the United States had a lot of lead in experience and technology. It can be said that if Ho Ying-tung goes to the United States for surgery, the probability of successful cure is much higher. If Ho Ying-tung chooses to perform surgery in China, the probability of success is much lower.
But facing the choice of life and death, he said that he could not go to the United States for surgery because he could not die in the United States, and he would die in China even if he wanted to die. Ho Ying-tung's words can be said to be deafening. Later, Ho Ying-tung had an operation in Hong Kong and was then sent a special plane to the mainland for physical therapy by Beijing.
Hot Ho has recovered for a year in Beijing and has recovered very well. Ho Ying-tung also invented many health care methods by himself. A year later, Ho Ying-tung's cancer cells disappeared and he regained his health. This has led to many follow-up stories such as Ho Ying-dong’s construction of Nansha and contributing money and efforts to Chinese sports.
From these short stories, we can all feel Ho Ying-Tong's huge patriotic enthusiasm. Ho Ying-tung is really worthy of being an oriental giant. His life is definitely worthy of our admiration. Of course, the Queen is gone now, and we also wish her a good journey.
