   Chapter 473 A Different Love Story

   On the vast sea, a huge ship is sailing smoothly.

   This is the largest ship in human history. How fast this ship can travel is still unknown to people today, and it is even difficult to imagine.

   However, it must have unlimited potential.

   However, such a big ship and such potential are not very important in the eyes of some people.

  There is only one thing they think about, go to America as soon as possible, that brand new country, and start a brand new life.

  Xiaoying is one of them, and she is a very beautiful and very different person.

   "Miss Ying, aren't you hungry?"

  “…”

   "Xiaoying, this is for you."

  “…”

   "Go for a walk, you can't stay in the cabin all the time."

  “…”

   Xiaoying bought a ticket for the third-class cabin. In this class of cabins, the most crowded are 'immigrants'.

   They seem to come from all over the world and their goal is one.

   Go to America and start a new life in that country.

  Xiaoying is very beautiful, and her appearance is weak enough, so she has won the kindness of many people.

   These kindnesses are very heartwarming, you know, the third class is really messy and bad.

   If it is dirty and messy, it is not an exaggeration, it can only be said that it is not too bad.

   There are many people, and there must be many problems.

   A little girl, going to a place like America alone will indeed cause problems. Not to mention it is very dangerous. Maybe she will not eat or sleep well, and her health will deteriorate.

   The point is, she's still so pretty.

   But, facing all this, Xiaoying never gave an answer.

   She didn't even say anything, just smiled.

   Then why is that?

   Finally, a daredevil in the same third class figured it all out.

   "Oh, sorry, you can't speak."

  “…”

Nod.

   That's right, Xiaoying is a mute. Although she can feel everyone's kindness, she can't respond, which makes her uncomfortable, but she still smiles.

   Now, the truth finally emerged, it turned out that she could not speak.

   So why is she on this ship?

Why would a girl like    go to the New World alone?

   Soon, the mystery was revealed.

   This time, it is not a daredevil, but a Chinese sailor on the boat.

   His name is Yalin.

  The meeting of two people is a coincidence.

   Yalin's job on the ship is that of pure labor, delivering coal to the boiler.

   One day, he was really tired, he went outside to breathe and bask in the sun.

  Suddenly, he saw a beautiful little girl who was also basking in the sun.

   As a general rule, sailors sometimes bask in the sun is more indecent.

   In this era, some clothes are not yet popular.

   Such as underwear.

   Once a French writer came to England, he saw the living quarters of British workers, the environment was really bad.

   Forget about being dirty, but the key is that there is a scene that makes French writers complain after seeing it.

   That is clothes.

   At that time, British workers hung up all kinds of washed clothes in their living quarters, and yes, they were drying clothes.

   But you can also imagine what a mess it was.

  The French writer's spit is indeed enough, after all, that scene is impressive.

   But, what if you think about it?

  Why was there no such scene in France at that time?

   is very simple, because many people in France at that time had no extra clothes to replace.

   To put it bluntly, they do not dare to wash clothes, so naturally there is no such scene of drying clothes.

   This actually explains a lot of problems from the side.

  In the early days of capitalism, people's lives did improve, but the improvement was limited.

  In terms of not being a human being, capitalists have always been inhumane, especially with tae.

   And in the age of the Titanic, the big ship?

  Underwear is a luxury, and the crew, especially the workers who are close to the boiler, will always sweat a lot from the heat.

  Without underwear, they will suffer from a very painful disease... some are called crotch, some are called hydrangea wind.

   In fact, the hydrangea style is still ordinary, not really bad, but this thing can make people itchy.

   So, what should I do?

  There is a way to dry eggs.

   I’m sweating too much, so let’s go out and bask in the sun.

   In fact, if it is the Navy, the response in this regard will be better, at least the clothes will be more prepared.

   But Yalin is Chinese, and he has no such conditions at all.

   It is always the hardest and most tiring work, and it would be good to have a chance to dry eggs.

   And such a posture is indeed indecent, and in the end, he met Xiaoying.

  The two met like this, and Yalin said a lot of embarrassing things.

   Xiaoying didn't say anything, she just laughed.

   Yalin fell in love like this, but the truth waiting for him was so cruel.

  Finally, the truth is clear.

   It turns out that the reason why Xiaoying is going to the New World is that she is going to get married.

   In short, she was favored and bought as a bride.

   And the other party is also a Chinese. He passed away in his early years. In fact, since the era of the gold rush, many Chinese have come to the United States.

   It’s just that after so many years, many Chinese workers are not only in Western California, but also in metropolises like New York.

   But the Chinese in America have a huge problem to solve.

   That is to marry a wife and have children.

   They have to reproduce. Every human being has this need, and so does the Chinese.

   The Chinese who arrived in the United States in the early days had very difficult living conditions and were indeed very poor.

   So, what kind of spouse are you looking for?

   I'm sorry, even black people can't get along with the Chinese, let alone those white people.

  Many Chinese workers came up with a way to buy brides from the motherland.

   Give money, find a matchmaker, and send it to the boat.

   This was a series of processes at that time. Indeed, it was almost equivalent to buying and selling people, but in those days, many people could not live on, so they could only sell their daughters like this.

   Xiaoying is one of them, and Sailor Yalin even understands it because he has seen a lot of this situation.

   So, he could easily guess it.

   However, Xiaoying has a special place.

   She is very beautiful, which makes her sold for a good price, but she is so beautiful but still sold, which in itself shows a key point.

  Someone must be hiding something.

   Yes, she can't speak.

   It is estimated that it is a matchmaker, or whoever it is.

   In short, there is a person who concealed in the middle to gain greater benefits.

   Then, the question immediately became, how would Xiaoying be treated if she went to the United States?

   Yalin thinks that is very dangerous, and Xiaoying's life may not be very wonderful.

   But, Xiaoying always smiled at this.

  When she was with Yalin on the boat, she always communicated with Yalin by writing.

   The two don’t know many words, but the exchange is very interesting.

   It was a very good time.

   Until, that iceberg came.

  …

   "You are a girl, you can live!"

   "Woooo..."

   "Go quickly! There must be a place on the lifeboat!"

   "Woooo..."

  The ship is going to sink, a ship the size of the Titanic is going to sink on its maiden voyage.

   This is really unexpected, but in such a situation, all you can do is escape.

   Yalin is a sailor. In fact, he knew that the ship was dead. However, the entire ship is still in a news blockade.

   He thought of Xiaoying, he found her and hoped she could get on the lifeboat.

   Actually, there are many lifeboats on the Titanic, which can save many people.

   But this time, there seems to be a problem with the operation.

   Many people in the first class also occupy important positions.

  What about third class?

   Xiaoying shook her head desperately, she didn't want to go.

  What will happen to Yalin and this girl?

  …

  James Cameron read this short story written by Takeshi Iwata.

   Yes, this is a script, but obviously this is more of a story.

  Cameron, the big Hollywood director, couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

   This story is so well written!

   There are a lot of things that are very interesting.

   The most critical and most important thing is that this story is very complementary to the story of my own "Titanic" movie.

   In his own movie, the heroine is a rich family daughter. Although her family is down, she can still cling to the rich.

   But in the end, she chose to be with a poor boy.

  Yes, this is simply a love fairy tale.

  Why not combine such a fairy tale with the disaster of the Titanic?

   In this story of Takeshi Iwata, Xiaoying, she is a disabled, helpless little girl with nothing.

   This girl forms a sharp contrast with the heroine.

   The fact that the heroine Rou Si falls in love with the poor boy is a bit abrupt in itself. After all, if we consider it realistically, it is very difficult.

   Therefore, Cameron chose Xiao Lizi, because Xiao Lizi is really handsome.

   Probably only such a handsome guy can make people lose their minds.

   What about Xiaoying?

  Her story is actually more reasonable.

   There are many places that can actually be mapped to the history of that time.

   Yes, Cameron did not intend to use this film to make history at that time, but many things that happened at that time were closely related to history.

   It's like why Jack went to America, which has a lot to do with the Irish famine.

   That great famine really killed a lot of people. A potato disease killed millions of people.

   The world at that time was really scary.

   And what about the Chinese at that time?

   They have also been discriminated against and treated unequally!

  Cameron quickly decided that this story is very good, and, as far as the whole story is concerned, all the shots can be controlled in about 5 minutes, and can be used throughout the whole movie.

   can be added!

So…

   Take Iwata, do you want to join in?

   A smile appeared on Cameron's face. He seemed to want to understand the purpose of Takeshi Iwata.
