The twelfth round

"Marxism is not the same as communism, communism is only a part of Marxism. Studying Marxism does not mean studying communism. Minds that are not prepared to receive communist ideas can still be nourished by the treasury of Marxist ideas......"

This is the scene that Yisheng saw as soon as he pushed open the door of his dormitory, Song Wanhua, who had not been seen for a long time, was making a small speech with high emotions.

There were a lot of people sitting around the small dormitory, including her roommates and those from the neighboring dormitory, perhaps because Song Wanhua's speech was so contagious that neither the audience nor the speaker himself noticed her arrival.

“…… Whether it is the Three People's Principles or Marxism, both are one of the many scientific theories that mankind has created and will create, and I am not making this speech today to force everyone to believe in Marxism from today onwards, it is impossible, because even I myself finally chose my belief after a long time of understanding and comparing. I just hope that you will try to understand this doctrine with a broad mind, a studious attitude, patriotic enthusiasm, and a sense of mission and responsibility for rejuvenating the Chinese nation, and then compare and explore it in practice, and finally choose your own beliefs!

Song Wanhua ended her speech with applause, and when she turned her head to see Yisheng, she smiled and said, "If you don't come for a long time, you will borrow the precious land first." ”

Yisheng also smiled back at her and stepped forward to hug her.

When her classmates were all gone, and only the two of them were left in the dormitory, Yisheng asked with a smile: "Sister Wanhua, you really didn't expect me, I haven't seen you for a year, and you have become a propagator of Marxism, when did you start?"

"Do you still remember the book that Mou Yunen lent us when we were at sea, "My View of Marxism", which is the enlightenment of my cognition. Later, when they were tutoring French at the Alion French School, their classmates from the Chongqing Work-Study Preparatory School in France were also there, and they became acquainted with each other. ”

"This familiarity has improved your oratorical skills a lot, is such an infectious speech impromptu or prepared in advance?" Yisheng asked with a smile.

Wanhua also smiled, "How can I have such a great ability, the manuscript was written by Yun'en, and it is counted as our propaganda draft, have you ever heard his speech with your own ears, that is really exciting!"

"Sister Wanhua, you seem to have changed a lot. ”

"Xiaosheng, you should say that I have improved a lot, in fact, if you contact them, you will be as impressed as I am. Song Wanhua muttered, "At the beginning of the European war, a large number of French factories closed down, you can imagine how bad the living conditions of their work-study students were, but even so, they have never wavered in their firm belief in changing the fate of the motherland." Let's just talk about Yun'en, the place where he lives is not even 10 square meters, except for a single bed and a small wooden table, there is nothing, but this small house is not only his residence, but also our propaganda and activity front! Xiaosheng, you don't know, every time I go to him, he is either looking for someone to talk to, or he is writing hard at the desk. He often eats with a few slices of bread and a plate of vegetables, and sometimes he eats them with boiling water. However, he never spoke bitterly, and he never wavered in his faith in the slightest. ”

Yisheng paused for a moment, but still asked softly: "Sister Wanhua, have you really thought about it, and are willing to give up the musicology course at the University of Paris that your family arranged for you early, and follow them to the Sino-French University in Lyon?"

For more than a year, although the two rarely met, the letters have been intermittent, so Yisheng can probably know Song Wanhua's movements.

"How is this a fuss, this is fighting for our due rights!" Song Wanhua became excited when she heard this, "Xiaosheng, you don't know how excited we were when we heard about the plan to establish a Sino-French University in Lyon, I thought that so many students could finally get out of the predicament and devote themselves wholeheartedly to seeking a way to save the country - but we never expected that they would decide to only conduct examinations and enrollment in China, that is, the French side refused to accept the students who are already in France now!"

Yisheng didn't understand why Song Wanhua was so excited, and in the letters, Song Wanhua enthusiastically explained her beliefs to her more than once, but in Yisheng's young thoughts, she was never infected.

In her opinion, it is clear that the Song family has arranged a course in musicology for Song Wanhua at the University of Paris early, so what does it matter to her whether the Sino-French University in Lyon recruits international students who are now in France or not?

But she won't say these words, because she knows that Song Wanhua never likes to hear them.

So she just played a good listener, listening to Song Wanhua continue to speak generously-

"What I didn't expect the most is that our Chinese decision-makers are cowering at this time, we have jointly written to relevant people, hoping that this matter can be taken seriously, but no result has been obtained, and now I heard that Wu Zhihui, the president of Sino-French University, is about to arrive in Lyon with the first batch of Chinese selected students, so Brother Deng, Yun'en and Wu Chuanming have decided to take action, we have applied for travel funding from the Chinese Legation in Paris, and we plan to go to Lyon to fight for our rights!"

Travel expenses? Yisheng was stunned.

Song Wanhua saw her thoughts, and smiled a little helplessly, "Dad didn't agree with my decision and imposed an economic blockade on me, so I had to live on a stretch." ”

"I still have some spare money here, Sister Wanhua, you can use it first. Hearing this, Yisheng hurriedly got up and went to open his box.

Song Wanhua pursed her lower lip, and after a fierce battle in her heart for a long time, she finally took a deep breath and took it, "Thank you Xiaosheng, I shouldn't have asked for it, but I know that this money is just like me in the past, just a few more beautiful clothes and jewelry, but for us now, it is too important." ”

Yisheng hurriedly said: "Sister Wanhua, I understand, you just put it away." ”

After sitting for a while, Song Wanhua got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she suddenly remembered something, and asked Yisheng: "Xiao Sheng, do you know Bo Yuzheng?"

Yisheng smiled, "'The south is thin and the north is Zhang, the young man is in the world', the famous young marshal, how many people in the world don't know?"

Song Wanhua shook her head a little anxiously, "No, I'm asking if you have any personal relationships with him?"

Yisheng was surprised, "These military and political dignitaries have always been implicated in us ordinary people, why does Sister Wanhua ask that?"

Song Wanhua said: "Is it because there was something wrong with your family's business last time, I heard that it was resolved by this young marshal Bo, and I also heard that this young marshal was in charge of power and negative aspects because of his young age, so his temperament is deep and unpredictable, and it is extremely difficult to get close, but he unexpectedly opened his mouth for your Sheng family, I thought that the two of you had a relationship in private, so I asked." ”

Yisheng vaguely remembered that his father's letter mentioned this matter, just because everything had rained and sunny when he wrote the letter, so he didn't care too much, and now Song Wanhua only had a vague impression of this, so he shook his head and said: "It seems that there is such a thing, but I don't know very well, I haven't seen my father move around with the Bo family or the Feng family since I was a child, and Bo Yuzheng is the only one who knows him, and he doesn't know me." ”

When Song Wanhua heard this, she was slightly disappointed, "That's it, then forget it." ”

"Sister Wanhua, is there something wrong with Bo Yuzheng?"

"I heard that he is about to go to Europe to inspect the navy, land and air force, and France will be one of the stops, although I don't like these murderous warlords, but after all, 'the prime minister's seal, not as good as Bo Yuzheng's words', such a powerful person, if he is willing to speak for us, the situation will be very different - forget it, even if we can't win his support, we can still go to Lyon to ask to see the principal." Wanhua regained her spirits and said optimistically.

Yisheng heard her say this, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to smile at her with a little apology.

At that time, she didn't expect that she would have the slightest involvement with this matter and Bo Yuzheng, and she forgot that the best at playing tricks on people is often fate.
