Second Young Master Chu Flies into a Rage (Continued)
Upon learning of the news in the newspaper, Po Leung Kuk issued a statement via radio on the morning of the same day the news was published, and also held a press conference. At the press conference, nine Po Leung Kuk executives stated that the Po Leung Kuk home mentioned in the Macau newspaper was not an institution under the Po Leung Kuk's jurisdiction, and the Po Leung Kuk logo on the Po Leung Kuk home's sign was a forgery. According to Po Leung Kuk's investigation, the welfare home was initiated and established in November 1950 by Dr. Zhu Gelian, a Britain doctor who served as Vice President and Assistant Director of the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch and Assistant Director of Health of Hong Kong. As for why Dr. Zhu Gelian chose to display the Po Leung Po Leung Kuk logo, Po Leung Kuk is still investigating further.
It directly accuses the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch of using fake welfare homes bearing the Po Leung Kuk logo to deceive the lower classes in China.
Upon learning of the incident, Justice of the Peace. Gao Shidi, the first president of the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch, Director of Health and Medical Services of Hong Kong, official member of the Legislative Council Yuan, recipient of the Officer of the Order of the British Empire, and Justice of Po Leung Kuk Peace, immediately told the media that the Liwan Welfare Institute incident was unrelated to the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch. As for Dr. Zhu Gelian- lim, the de facto person in charge of the welfare home mentioned by Po Leung Kuk, the vice president and assistant director of the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch, he had been robbed and killed the previous night while distributing free medicine and promoting public awareness of infectious disease prevention in Kowloon. Regarding the Po Leung Po Leung Kuk logo displayed at the welfare home, no answer could be given due to Dr. Zhu Gelian- lim's passing.
The Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch stated that there was no way to verify the claims, leading to a stalemate. Although no physical altercation occurred, both sides had clearly broken off relations and blamed each other. Po Leung Kuk accused the Britain of using Po Leung Kuk logo to lure China person into welfare homes where they were subjected to blood sampling. In response, the Britain dredged up old grievances from decades ago when Po Leung Kuk was first established, claiming that the murder of Britain doctor Zhu Gelian Chu was almost identical to the shooting death of a Britain lawyer in Hong Kong during Po Leung Kuk's founding, who was investigating issues related to Mui Tsai. They suggested that Dr. Zhu Gelian might have offended certain interest groups during his investigation into Hong Kong's health issues and was subsequently murdered by those who benefited from the system.
The situation escalated to the point where Governor Grantham had to intervene and meet with both sides. The Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch used the history of Po Leung Kuk's founding as a weapon to attack the other side, demonstrating that the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch couldn't find any other issues to attack Po Leung Kuk on the current issues and could only resort to fabricated stories from decades ago to smear the Po Leung Kuk. Therefore, when he met with both sides, he did not take sides but simply asked them to cool down the situation.
Just as the temperature dropped somewhat due to Grantham's intervention, Mrs. Bess, president of Hong Kong Oxfam, submitted a proposal to the colonial government's Medical and Health Department.
The timing and the degree of intervention were perfect. Although the Red Cross and Po Leung Kuk had temporarily ceased their hostilities due to Grantham's intervention, the two sides were staring at each other like fighting cocks, waiting for the other to make any move before launching the next attack. So, at this moment, Mrs. Bess's plan from Oxfam appeared on the desks of the Medical and Health Department, the Director of Health Administration Office, and finally Grantham, when both sides were furious and hostile towards each other.
This plan does not accuse either party, but instead lists data, using the example of Hong Kong needing 34 tons of medical blood annually, while only 10 tons are actually available, to explain why a black market for blood exists in Hong Kong Club. Blood is a scarce resource and an essential item for medical surgery and emergency care. Currently, there is no specialized agency in Hong Kong supply blood to various hospitals. Hospitals often directly purchase the blood they urgently need from external sources, resulting in a lack of supervision and disorder, which is the reason for the existence of a black market for blood.
Therefore, Hong Kong Oxfam suggests that, under the supervision of the Medical and Health Department, an organization be established to centrally supply blood, setting up two blood source methods: paid blood transactions and voluntary blood donation, with a focus on promoting voluntary blood donation.
This new organization will centrally supply blood to hospitals across Hong Kong, ensuring traceability of blood sources and destinations, and preventing the recurrence of incidents like blood being drawn from welfare homes due to a chaotic black market for blood.
Promoting voluntary blood donation, a difficult task, can be addressed by Oxfam's twice-yearly large-scale donations of free medicines, which will raise public awareness of voluntary blood donation, encourage people to donate blood, and stabilize Hong Kong's blood supply.
The initial expenses of the organization can be sponsored by Mr. Chu Xiaoxin Justice of the Peace, one of the founders of Oxfam.
The proposal submitted by Mrs. Bess was a godsend for Grantham, the Medical and Health Department, and the Health Administration Office. After the two sides temporarily stopped fighting, legislators, the public, and the media began to criticize the welfare home incident, pointing out that the biggest problem was the lack of legislation, government inaction, and ineffective management by the British Hong Kong Government.
The Foreign Devil director of the Medical and Health Department had been so worried about this that he lost a lot of hair. Now, a windfall has fallen from the sky. Regardless of what happens later, at least for now, it can silence the critics and demonstrate the Medical and Health Department's proactive and remedial attitude.
Most importantly, only the name of the Medical and Health Department is needed, and no government funding is required. All upfront expenses will be borne by Oxfam Vice President, Chu Xiaoxin Justice of the Peace, JP.
This made the Medical and Health Department feel that Chu Xiaoxin Justice of the Peace was a model for the Chinese and a friend of the British.
Even if Grantham wanted to hand over the organization to the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch to operate at this time, it was not easy to say so directly given that the scandal had just cooled down. Thus, the Hong Kong Lu Peiying Blood Transfusion Service Centre, which was under the jurisdiction of the British Hong Kong Government's Medical and Health Department, managed by Hong Kong Oxfam, and funded and named by Justice of the Peace Chu Xiaoxin with HK Hong Kong dollars 500,000, was established under these circumstances.
It has to be said that Second Young Master Chu at business as Song Tianyao, but Song Tianyao is much better at charming women. He donated Hong Kong dollars 500,000 in the name of his fiancée. Even though he hasn't seen Miss Lu Peiying recently, Song Tianyao can still imagine the sweet and happy smile that Miss Lu Family shows when she is with her female companions or relatives.
Song Tianyao came to see Chu Xiaoxin because, apart from coming up with the name "Hong Kong Lu Peiying Blood Transfusion Service Centre" to coax women, the Second Young Master Chu was completely Headless about everything else that had happened.
