Chapter 62: The Dream of Red Mansions is not over
The descendants of professors from Southwest Associated University sold their ancestral goods at a stall in Kunming City.
Isn't that the standard loser?
Han Zhou felt a little strange. He inadvertently opened the treasure app on his mobile phone, put it on the map to the limit, compared the position, and found that the pale red light point symbolizing the treasure was on the stall in front of him.
To be precise, it's the little leather case on the left that is locked.
Han Zhou said in his heart: "In this way, the treasures shown in the treasure map may not necessarily be ownerless. What the owner is willing to sell will also appear in the treasure map. ”
Han Zhou continued to ask: "May I ask which professor of Southwest Associated University your grandfather is, I may have heard of it." ”
Southwest Associated University, or National Southwest Associated University, is a legendary school.
After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to preserve the vitality of the country's intellectual elite, a large number of colleges and universities began to move inward.
On November 1, 1937, the National Changsha Provisional University, which was established by the National Peking University, the National Shuimu University and the private Nankai University, opened in Changsha (this day also became the anniversary of Southwest Associated University). However, due to the bombing of Changsha by Japanese planes, in mid-February 1938, with the approval of the Ministry of Education at that time, Changsha Provisional University moved west to Kunming in three ways.
In April 1938, it was renamed National Southwest Associated University.

"The scale of academic freedom in the tree, the title of the fortress of foreign democracy", preserved the important scientific research force during the Anti-Japanese War, cultivated a large number of outstanding talents, and made outstanding contributions to the development and progress of China and the world.
At that time, the Southwest Associated University was full of heroes.

The movie "Wuwen Xidong" tells the story of four young people from different eras but also from Mizuki (Mizuki) University. It is a gift film for the 100th anniversary of Mizuki.
Among them, the story of Shen Guangyao played by Wang Lihong took place during the Southwest Associated University.
And his prototype is Mizuki talent, Air Force hero Shen Chonghai.
He is a rich child with both civil and military skills and a good family background. A very filial only child, he was disciplined very strictly by his mother.
At the same time, he cherished the great righteousness of the country, and resolutely chose to become a pilot when the country was in danger, and dedicated his most splendid youth to defend his family and country.
This kind of personal story in the context of anti-Japanese resistance is also closely related to the background of the establishment of the Southwest Associated Congress.
Because of the anti-Japanese unity, after the victory of the anti-Japanese war, the rivers and lakes will meet again.
But this legendary story will never be erased.
......
The man scratched his messy head and said, "My grandfather's name is Chen Junqiu, the gentleman's Jun, the autumn of autumn." He is engaged in literary research. I found my grandmother to marry locally, and when I returned to the United Nations General Assembly after the end of the anti-Japanese war, my grandfather happened to have tuberculosis and didn't want to toss, so he stayed in Kunming. Soon after, my grandfather died. My grandmother pulled my grandfather to grow up, and my grandfather gave birth to my father, and my father gave birth to me. ”
Han Zhou searched for Zhang Junqiu with his mobile phone.
Southwest Associated University Alumni Directory.
Sure enough, I found this person. Study of the Ming and Qing dynasties. may be because of the ups and downs in the second half of his life, he is not famous, and he has not found more information on the Internet.
Han Zhou said: "How much do these things cost." ”
The man said: "These boxes, each 10,000 yuan." It's all book manuscripts. There were also some personal belongings of my grandfather, pens, glasses, a thousand dollars. ”
Han Zhou said: "I want it all." ”
The man said "Huh", thought about it, and said: "Pack and sell them all for 200,000." ”
Han Zhou said: "According to the price calculated before, it doesn't add up so much, right?"
The man said, "I temporarily increased the price." ”
Han Zhou shook his head.
It's really a bad kid.
Han Zhou said: "I only have 98,000 on me, if you want to make a move, I can pay immediately." If you don't sell it, forget it. ”
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, it's cheap for you." ”
Han Zhou finished the transfer. The man left, leaving the entire stall to Han Zhou.
Han Zhou called a cargo puller and pulled everything to the hotel.
5 star hotel, very safe.
Check in to the hotel, the Presidential Suite. Took a shower.
After taking a shower.
Take out the object of the professor of Southwest Associated University and start researching.
Get straight to the point and directly open the small suitcase where the red light spot is located.
It was a pile of yellowed manuscripts, and notes.
Han Zhou turned on his phone again and checked the display of the treasure map.
Finally locked on to a thick, old-fashioned notebook.
Open it.
Page 1.
"A few years ago, I obtained a version of the last 40 manuscripts of "Red Mansions" from an S bookseller, and after many comparisons and verifications, it was identified as true. A copy of the excerpt was paid for research and backup purposes. ”
"The Red Chamber is a literary treasure of our country, and it is a pity that the last 40 chapters are missing. This research and publication by my hands can make up for my regrets and add luster to my academic path. ”
"The stakes are serious, so I won't disclose others for the time being. Remember, remember. “
......
"A letter from the capital, the bookstore of the S bookseller was set on fire by the Japanese army, burned to ruins, and a family of three was killed. Woohoo hurts. Presumably, the original manuscript of "Red Mansion" was also burned. The excerpt in his hand turned out to be the only one. ”
After three years of research, he wrote a monograph entitled "Research on the Forty Manuscripts of the Red Chamber". The plan is to invite Mr. W and Mr. H to take a look, but unfortunately the two gentlemen have returned to the capital. ”
"When I recover from tuberculosis, I will contact the academic community in Beijing for joint research. ”

Turn the second page.
Densely packed is an excerpt of the Dream of Red Mansions, with small black characters.
Mixed with blue and blue annotations.

Han Zhou read a few pages roughly, and his heart was full of shock.
The treasure this time turned out to be the forty episodes after the long-lost "Dream of Red Mansions".
So surprised.

is such an immortal masterpiece, but only the first eighty episodes have been handed down. The last forty episodes are missing.
Many people regret this.
Zhang Ailing once said:
Three hatreds in life.
One hates the prickly anchovies, the second hates the begonias without fragrance, and the third hates the unfinished dream of red mansions.
