Mo Qishen carried Ni Yang's shoes in one hand and held her hand with the other, "Yangyang, look at that person."
"Which one?" Ni Yang asked.
Mo Qishen continued, "The one wearing a blue jacket and holding something like a black brick."
"I see him." Ni Yang nodded.
Mo Qishen said, "That's called a wireless mobile phone. Next year, Guangguan will establish the first batch of wireless telephone systems. Once mobile phones become popular, we can stay in touch anytime, anywhere!"
Wireless phone?
Ni Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, realizing that the first mobile phones had entered China in 1987!
In fact, the mobile phone was not initially known as a mobile phone; its original name was a wireless mobile phone.
This name originated from the Cantonese and Hongkongers way of jokingly referring to gang leaders. In some early Hong Kong movies, mob bosses frequently appeared on screen with mobile phones, hence people began to jokingly call these mobile phones as "Big Brother phones."
