Good rain knows the season, when spring is here.

In the evening this evening, the gray sky finally began to rain, and the dark clouds over water control that shrouded the citizens of Hong Kong were slowly dispersed.

Although water control is a very nostalgic term, in the 1960s and 1970s, it was a major livelihood issue that caused the most headaches for the people of Hong Kong. Whenever the Hong Kong government implemented water control measures, there were widespread complaints and unspeakable suffering.

Especially during the water supply period, the whole family, young and old, must come together to take out all the water containers at home, and then go to the public water pipes provided by the government on the street and wait for several hours to get the water.

Fill the bucket with water and take it home for storage.

While queuing, there are always quarrels because someone cuts in line or occupies the water pipe for too long. Even just for a bucket of water, they fight to the point of splitting their foreheads and turning into enemies.

Since the beginning of this year, the weather has been somewhat abnormal. It was extremely cold at the beginning of the year, and now we are experiencing severe drought. The rainfall is very low, causing water levels in many reservoirs in Hong Kong to drop, and even agricultural droughts have occurred in the New Territories.

The Water Supplies Department has officially issued a notice to remind citizens to save water and store drinking water at home. Once the weather continues to be dry, water control measures will be taken immediately.

The tap water currently used in Hong Kong mainly comes from several reservoirs, desalinated seawater, and Dongjiang water in the northern Guangdong region of mainland China. However, the water levels of several reservoirs and ponds in the New Territories, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island have dropped below the warning line. Plover Cove

The desalination technology of the fresh water plant is not up to standard, the cost is high, and the desalinated water still has a salty taste.

Originally, the best way to solve the problem was water from the mainland. However, the problem is that the first phase of Dongshen Water Supply has limited water supply, and the second phase of the project is still under construction. Water from far away cannot quench the thirst of nearby people, so the problem cannot be completely solved, let alone now.

The entire Guangdong Province is in a severe drought season, and water resources are also in short supply.

Tonight's rain is enough to make the whole Hong Kong people cheer.

The three of Lu Dongjie stayed at the company until four o'clock in the afternoon, took Zhong Chuhong and Xu Ruoqi to have dinner, and then drove to the city hall in Central.

The 1977 Asian Singing Competition Finals hosted by Li's TV will be held grandly in the concert hall here tonight. Amateur singers from eight regions in Asia will compete on the same stage here to compete.

Down.

Representatives from each region have all arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago. Li TV held a press conference at the Waldo Hotel yesterday afternoon to introduce representatives from each region to the press and announce matters related to tonight's event.

"Okay, Sister Qiqi, you see it's raining, and you don't have to worry about water control anymore." Miss Chu Chu took Xu Ruoqi's hand and beamed with joy.

"Don't be too happy too early. The observatory said it might just be a shower." Xu Ruoqi shook her head and smiled.

"Really, that's too disappointing." Miss Chu Chu suddenly lost interest.

"It's just water production. We're not running out of water, so what are you afraid of?" Lu Dongjie parked the car and walked over with a smile.

"Humph, of course you are not afraid of you stinky men. If we girls don't have water to bathe, it will be very uncomfortable." Miss Chu Chu rolled her eyes at him.

"Anyway, I won't dislike you." Lu Dongjie laughed.

"Humph, you are a big bad guy who wants to die, and you are teasing me again," Miss Chu Chu said angrily.

Xu Ruoqi looked at the two people who were flirting in front of her. She felt funny but also a little worried.

It was hard to get a ticket for tonight's event, and Lu Dongjie only got three tickets, so he was the only one in the Lu family of four. Anyway, the game will be broadcast live on the Chinese and English channels of Li TV tonight.

Lu Dongjie's seats were on the left side of the center area, which gave them a better viewing angle. However, his buttocks were not even hot, and he had already met many acquaintances from the entertainment industry and the press. Everyone looked at each other, smiled, and ordered.

A nod is considered a greeting.

After a while, the scene suddenly became lively. Everyone turned around and looked at the entrance. They saw that Shao Yifu, the boss of Shaw Brothers Company, was leading the team to attend tonight's game. The person holding his arm next to him was Miss Fang Yi, and there were people behind him.

Also following were two big Shaw Brothers stars, Liu Yong and Yu Sally, as well as director Lu Qi and others.

The last person to appear was a noble and gorgeous foreign lady. Accompanied by Huang Xizhao, the general manager of Li TV, she slowly sat down in the VIP seat in the front row.

It seems that Lady Gordon is undoubtedly the most important award-giving guest tonight, and sitting next to her is Mai Monroe, a popular international singer. He was invited by Ying Li's TV to come to Hong Kong as a guest for this competition.

As a special guest singer, the two of them were talking quietly and privately.

At 7:45 p.m., the lights dimmed and the audience fell silent.

"Shocking the whole city, spanning the world, attracting global attention, the 1977 Asian Song Contest Finals begins now."

Colorful lights began to shine, and along with the exciting drum beats, a rich announcement also sounded.

The opening of the competition program is still as usual. Artists from Yuli's TV dance group performed a modern dance, with beautiful music, trendy dance steps, and beautiful dance postures. It was very entertaining and fresh, and it was pleasing to the eye.

"I would like to invite the emcees of this conference, Mr. Zhang Zhiyu and Miss Xue Jiayan."

A beam of white light shone at the exit of the stage, warm applause broke out, and two emcees in costumes slowly walked out.

The male emcee for tonight's finals is Zhang Zhiyu. He is a talented person who can act, sing, write, and direct. He can be both a host and a television producer. He has made many achievements both on stage and behind the scenes.

The female emcee is Xue Jiayan. She is a well-deserved sister of Li's TV. She is a film, television and singing star popular in Southeast Asia. At the same time, this is the first time she has appeared on Li's TV after successfully renewing her contract with Li's TV.

on the fluorescent screen.

"Everyone in the audience, guests, and those in front of the TV, welcome to watch the 1977 Continental Singing Contest Finals hosted by Li's TV." Zhang Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Yes, first of all, let me introduce to you the judging panel for this conference. They are music professionals sent from each region. They will make a fair decision among the seventeen amateur singers and select this year's Asian
