"Chaozhou Raoping Zhen Jianhua" and "Guangdong Foshan Liang Huan" vividly presented the inheritance of the struggle spirit of two generations who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to make a living. Zhen Jianhua had misunderstandings and contempt for Liang Huan at first, and wanted to drive her back to the mainland, and was unwilling to run a tea restaurant with her. However, after losing her husband, Liang Huan's lack of discouragement and giving up completely moved him, and gradually began to respect, appreciate and admire this self-reliant woman. The relationship between the two is precisely a metaphor for the spirit of Hong Kong - Hong Kong welcomes every talent who is willing to work hard and work hard here, and the strugglers who have sweated and spent their youth here have also made the legend of the city.Furthermore, as long as they can show a sincere attitude to each other, no matter where they come from, they can have an equal dialogue, and they can understand and respect each other.
